Madeleine McCann: DNA Jigsaw, Torture And The Twilight Zone
MADDYWATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann
DAILY EXPRESS front page: “MADELEINE DNA PUTS PARENTS IN FRAME. British experts insist their tests are valid”
Page 7: “DNA tests ‘fill in more pictures of jigsaw’” – A source close to the investigation provides the headline quote. But what has been found is unsaid, and how it involves Kate and Gerry McCann
“New police chief is accused of torture” – Chief inspector Tavares Almeida is to face charges of “beating up a robbery suspect in custody”. The Express says this is a “torture scandal”. The alleged victim – who was accused of being part of a gang that sexually abused children and coerced them into violent muggings - was acquitted
Mr Almeida was dubbed “Kate’s Tormenter”, possibly by the Express today
DAILY MAIL page 8: “New DNA tests ‘put the McCanns back under suspicion’”
The McCanns, both “doctors” are said to be “extremely distressed by the claims”
DAILY MIRROR page 7: “COPS GAVE UP SEARCH THREE MONTHS AGO”
“Investigation in tatters as second detective accused of violence”
THE SUN front page: “McCANNS’ AGONY – MADDIE: NEW DNA LINK TO KATE”
British forensic scientists “are said to believe tests on fresh clues support earlier findings that led to the McCanns being declared suspects”
Page 4: “McCANNS ‘LIVING IN A TWILIGHT WORLD’”
Clarence Michelle says: “We had reports that DNA had proved ‘inconclusive’ and even it had put the McCanns in the clear.”
Reports from whom is not reported
“Now there are reports that the DNA is making them look suspect. There are wholly innocent explanations for any material police may or may not have found. This just goes to show what a twilight zone we are operating in”
The Twilight Zone – wasn’t that the name of the TV show with the sting in the tail?
DAILY STAR front page: “MADDIE: NW DNA DAMNS PARENTS. Brit police find shock evidence”
But they have not been arrested. The McCanns are just suspects. How is this damning?
Pages 8 and 9: “MADDIE: SHOCK NEW DNA CLUE TO PARENTS – Boffins say cops on the right trail”
“Torture rap cop” – Tavares Almeida is 48
DAILY TELEGRAPH page 9: “Portuguese police ‘right to focus on McCanns’”
A British source says “Everything that has emerged indicates that the investigation is focusing where it should”
A British detective says the case is being “done back to front” – the parents should have been looked at first. The mantra is: “Clear the ground from under your feet”
THE INDEPENDENT, THE GUARDIAN and THE TIMES: No Madeleine news today

i thought jane favoured clam and gerry was into shrimps?
October 9th, 2007 at 4:51 pm
Krissie, Mind if i bring a few friends? Maybe we can get high and see what happens?
October 9th, 2007 at 4:50 pm
On another blog, it is rumored that they might have left Maddie and twins alone during the day too - when Maddie didn’t want to go to bed and was screaming…
What is going on with these hedonistic parents? It does give one pause? And not just the amount of wine they all drank either…..
How many people take extended vacations with a group of friends - a club of friends to be exact? One does begin to think in terms of “swapping”………
October 9th, 2007 at 4:49 pm
m.e., aha, so you are suggesting that the Tapas 9 was a PEDOPHILE group. I see. But , this doesn’t explain, where did Madeleine disappear to?
October 9th, 2007 at 4:49 pm
Did I read somewhere on this site that Jane was partial to shrimp?
October 9th, 2007 at 4:48 pm
All Indeed……….. The simplest explanation.
October 9th, 2007 at 4:48 pm
Mike, no, no car (yet). But I’m bringing a wardrobe to last me months, just in case we don’t get to return home in time. I need to look nice for the photographers!

QUESTION: “I’m wondering whether this particular set of personality traits is a British thing” (Example 1: “Do you suppose Google is getting paid by Team McCann, from the FUND??” Example 2: “they were all having sex and Madeleine died by accident and gerry cut her up into pieces with Obriens help and stuffed her body in someone else’s freezer and sold her organs in Paris to aliens”—which seems a fair summary of some of the theories being bandied around on this site)
ANSWER: I **VERY MUCH** hope not cos I’m a Brit too, and although many of my friends consider me an eccentric, even my head isn’t quite as cracked as this lot…

lesbians are always drinking portuguese wine and eating tapas. they like the seaside, quiz games, children and yoga instructors a lot too. not usually crazy about men but some will tolerate those with the runty y chromosome. so yeah the tapas and wine definitely creates a lovely lesbian mood.

Krissie
You mention the theory of all of them having sex. Lets just say its the ‘all’ that worries me…
October 9th, 2007 at 4:45 pm
14 bottles of wine and they were hardly ever at the table? Those Doctors can certainly knock it back.
Does anyone know how they did in the quiz?
October 9th, 2007 at 4:45 pm
The kids will be just fine. Ive got a few friends who can fix them up a little something to relax them. Appartement keys in the fish bowl i suppose as i dont need a car here[yet]?
October 9th, 2007 at 4:45 pm
Now that I have worked it out, if only at a theoretical level, I feel very worried indeed.
Surprised anyone is game enough to keep posting
October 9th, 2007 at 4:43 pm
Well, all the pieces fall into place- Kate is a dyke. Jane killed Madeleine. OBrien covered it up?
October 9th, 2007 at 4:42 pm
Mike, Eight bottles of red, six of white! WE’ll take turns checking on the sleeping kids. Or, should we just take t hem to the creche?
October 9th, 2007 at 4:41 pm
Maybe Madeleine fell down stone steps at the beach when she was being watched (not) while the parents were doing other more important things………and they took her someplace else and cooked up this kidnapped plot and later by mistake Maddie dies ?
October 9th, 2007 at 4:41 pm
Oh those French - why should we look for the child when her parents know exactly where she is ? lol
October 9th, 2007 at 4:40 pm
honestly i haven’t a clue. i’m on the fence but definitely believe the mccanns know more than they are telling.
our gay friends pointed out to us last week that kate was a pretty fem version of a younger martina. i agreed. then they asked if there were any masculine-looking females in the group. for some reason i thought of jane.
October 9th, 2007 at 4:40 pm
Wine and tapas to set the mood?
October 9th, 2007 at 4:39 pm
Mike, in the Algarve, this Friday. Bring the kids!!! And your wife!!
October 9th, 2007 at 4:38 pm
Krissie, So did My Wife. Where and when?
October 9th, 2007 at 4:37 pm
thea, I like this direction you’re heading in. but that still doesn’t say what happened to madeleine… can you elaborate??
October 9th, 2007 at 4:37 pm
Small item in today’s Express: “An 8o,ooo “Find Madeleine” campaign in Portugal, Spain and Morocco has been foiled after French-owned supermarket chain Carrefour said that it would not support advertising on its trolleys”.
October 9th, 2007 at 4:36 pm
MIKE, can you believe, my husband agreed to our arrangement.
October 9th, 2007 at 4:36 pm
Soothsayer were are you when you are needed,what is going on here,you rubbished this story right away so do you or Will know something,tell us the whole thing is becoming quite disturbing.
October 9th, 2007 at 4:35 pm
oh and russel digs ladies who dig ladies was my point. in case it wasn’t clear.
October 9th, 2007 at 4:35 pm
Rab
That should be lead ‘tester’
October 9th, 2007 at 4:34 pm
m.e., are there new rules governing this forum? I haven’t been around much the past few days– did someone finally put a foot down and say OK< no more wild theories? Because frankly, your thoughts couldn’t be worse than what we’ve already seen in print here: they were all having sex and Madeleine died by accident and gerry cut her up into pieces with Obriens help and stuffed her body in someone else’s freezer and sold her organs in Paris to aliens.
October 9th, 2007 at 4:34 pm
i don’t think her ample chest has anything to do with their *attraction*. my gut instinct is she digs the ladies. kate is afterall a fem version of martina navratilova.
October 9th, 2007 at 4:34 pm
Given the fact that this is all going tobe over by friday, I think its time we all come out and say wo we think did it. All the assholes who get it wrong should then be banished.
