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”

726 The Real Stig Says:
Edit…
The fuss concerning the photo is understandable as it the last ever taken of Madeleine by the McCanns.
++++++++++++
I understand that… What I don’t understand, probably because like many in here I’m too busy looking for the ‘killer fact(s)’ that will support whatever pet shabby theory I’m currently supporting, is why you would bother making a fuss about it in public? It’s almost like they felt they had to make sure *we* all knew the time it was allegedly taken.

“the cam’s clock is very easy to change. a 10 year old could do it.”
But no one over 30 can.

‘Detectives wanted to remand Kate in custody but the Portuguese public prosecutor refused, fearing a diplomatic row. The next morning the couple fled Portugal for the UK.’
Is this standard practice for all British subjects or were some strings being pulled? If so - by whom and why? Anyone know?

“if dna is so unreliable and in this case can so easily be explained away by camp mccann as being that of another family member then why are the uk police so insistant that every uk citizen should be on a dna data base ?”
———————————————————————————————Excellent point! But it’s not the police insisting , they are pawns like us, its our Orwellian control-freak government and, could double standards and hypocrisy have anything to do with it?

Excellent… but is your limerick more logical than mine?
October 9th, 2007 at 9:02 pm
NO, you got it all wrong. That’s the judge Dildo head.
October 9th, 2007 at 9:01 pm
It’s not mother hating, you got it all wrong, it’s daughter hating. Dildo head hates his daughter. She makes him look like a failure. It’s all his wife’s fault anyway, just ask Dildo head…..

ahhh, it was in the uni year book, i didn’t hear about it untill it was in the papers cause it would obviously have not been of any significance. but people had come forward to say that the hotlips tag was not a reference to her facial lips but a constant milky discharge caused by a yeast infection.

if dna is so unreliable and in this case can so easily be explained away by camp mccann as being that of another family member then why are the uk police so insistant that every uk citizen should be on a dna data base ?

Maybe they hired a Maddie lookalike for the day.
Or maybe the nanny was in the swingers scene too!
Maybe there was no nanny.
Maybe the real nanny was abducted and a nanny a lookalike stood in for questioning.
or maybe not…….
oh and my wrist band broke, any refunds ?

Mike H. krissie,and Thea …a child is missing , maybe dead. I thought you were posting here because you felt some concern. I was wrong.
Shame on you. Go get your sick kicks elsewhere.
I have nothing but sympathy for the murdered child. Didnt realise i had to give up being human cos 2 reality tv wannabes fucked up. What do you suggest?
October 9th, 2007 at 8:58 pm
Who’s crying now? oh the easiest explanation the drugged out child hating whoremongering parents didn’t do it…perish the thought now what will dildo dead brain do with his mother hating phobias?

In view of Mr. McScam’s rage at paying Ms. PR woman whatever she was called:
There once was a man of Montrose
Who had pockets in none of his clothes
When asked by his lass
Where he carried his brass
He said, Darling, I pay through the nose.
PS: This is not an original, but it suits don’t you think in view of Mr. M’s terribly protuberant proboscis.

The claim as to the hotlips reference.
October 9th, 2007 at 8:56 pm
roger,
sure you could but the investigators would catch that switcheroo in a second after matching the mccanns’ photo times on their laptop as opposed to those saved in the camera. digital camera is a computerized camera. the investigators know the tell tale signs to look for.
good night for real. angry hungry husband is here.

713 Lilith. But why would O’B be willing to help? What motivation would he have to illegally dispose of a body? His career would be ruined if it ever came out.
We do not know what other info the PJ have that are making them still consider M&G somehow responsible. The forensic evidence has been given more credibility today because FSS have said they agree the PJ are looking in the right direction.
All kids in same room difficult to believe, but maybe one or two of the others - this is a more reasonable, I think.
The timelines that the PJ are now working on mean that abduction is becoming more and more unlikely. So a great deal now needs to be rubbished.

Lilith
Can you please stop telling us bed time stories - yawn - I’m finding hard to stay awake as it is.

Nothing funny about the picture except some crackpot who tried to argue the shadows were all wrong for the claimed time it was taken.
The fuss concerning the photo is understandable as it the last ever taken of Madeleine by the McCanns.
The nanny gave an interview wherein she stated she was with Madeleine and the twins much later that day - around 6pm I think.
October 9th, 2007 at 8:51 pm
Thea, sorry, its not the clock, its the time on the photo. If it says 5pm on your laptop, can you change that timing to 4pm?
October 9th, 2007 at 8:51 pm
simone,
my husband just got home. i will.
why is it that religious zealots and the sexually frigid have no senses of humour and always feel superior to others?
October 9th, 2007 at 8:50 pm
Case, point, and then the truth! dump bull has no dildo needs much trash talk to pretend……ahhhhhh…..remember when youse was young.
October 9th, 2007 at 8:50 pm
636, Wendy Nilsson,
If it is true, they must have kept quiet about whatever happened because it could have happened to any one of the children.
October 9th, 2007 at 8:48 pm
