Madeleine McCann: Ben Needham Is Missing, Operation Predator And Maddie’s Cops
MADDYWATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann.
DAILY EXPRESS front page: “McCanns warn: We’ll sue over claims we drugged our children”
Page 7: “Madeleine parents: We have never sedated our children” – The “slurs” are “outrageous” and “hurtful”.
The theory that they sedated all of their children is a “wild theory”. It appears in Portuguese newspaper 24 Horas, a source for “some of the more outlandish reporting”. The Express reproduces the outlandish reporting for its readers to digest and marvel at
“Grim hunt for images as child-porn ring is smashed” – Operation Predator is a clamp down on child porn in Portugal. A friend of the McCanns says: “This shows the scale of the problem in Portugal and appears to show that the Portuguese police seem to be looking in the right direction. It may provide vital leads”
But the raids were not directly connected with the Madeleine case. Operation Predator was six months in the planning
THE SUN front page: “Maddie: cop raid on pervs”
Page 7: “McCANNS’ DELIGHT AT PAEDO SWOOP” – Kate and Gerry McCann are “encouraged” that 300 Portuguese police “smashed” a 80-strong paedophile ring
“’FIND OUR KIDS TV’” – Kate and Gerry have backed a TV channel that features the 150,000 UK children that go missing each year. Pictures of missing children will be shown at GP surgeries, shopping malls and hospitals
Page 37: “MISSING BEN AGONY – We were too working class to get help like Maddie’s family” – The mother of Ben Needham, who disappeared 16 years ago on the Greek island of Kos – sees haves and have nots
“I was 19,” says Kerry Grist. “Just an ordinary girl from a council estate and people thought, ‘She will just go away in a few months, have another child and forget about it…I don’t think people thought Ben was important enough.” Or the media didn’t…
Kate McCann is a doctor. Gerry McCann is a heart specialist. Both Madeleine and Ben are blonde
DAILY MAIL page 5: “Huge porn swoop offers hope of a Maddie clue”
“Could Ben still be alive?” – Ben Needham disappeared from near his grandparents’ farm house
Says Mrs Grist, Ben’s mum: “Madeleine’s parents are middle class people with important jobs and seemed to have had a publicity machine behind them straight away”
DAILY MIRROR page 15: “WHY STAY IF SHE HAD SOMETHING TO HIDE?”
A pal of Kate McCann says: “She could not tear herself away [from Portugal]. What mother could leave the place where her daughter vanished? …If she had something to hide why would she hang around in Praia da Luz waiting for the police to come knocking on the door?”
We don’t know. Why?
DAILY STAR front page: “MADDIE POLICE ARREST 80 PAEDOS”
Madeleine McCann does not have her own police force – not yet. But the police working on one case are Portuguese, like the police in her case. It’s an “EXCLUSIVE”
Page 7: “MADDIE COPS RAID PAEDOS” – The Star sees Gerry McCann leaving his home in a car. “STRAIN” reads the caption
DAILY TELEGRAPH page 17: “Madeleine police turn spotlight back on paedophiles”
“Missing children TV hopes to jog patients’ memories” – Ben Needham is missing. Xiao Xiao is missing. Lee Thomas Wedge is missing. Leanna Petrenko is missing. Abigaile Sommerville is missing. Andrew Paul Gosden is missing
THE INDEPENDENT page 24: “Mother in plea to missing son” – Ben Needham is missing
THE TIMES page 11: “Madeleine police return to kidnap theory”
German and Dutch police are believed to have been asked to trace and interview guests staying at the Ocean Club when Madeleine went missing
THE GUARDIAN: No Madeleine news today

Ramon - PERVERT - are you a rapist or just a sexual predator? That’s Repulsive what you wrote about Krissie - for all you know she could be an under cover agent stalking this forum and ready to prance on you for suggesting unsolicited sex and forcing your friend to take her virginity without consent. That’s called rape. Are you aware of your actions here???!!!

“Wanderer!
Accusations of abuse are a bit rich . Read the postings on this site and tell me they are not abusive and some even malignant. Innocent fun where two parties banter nonsense is entirely different. Pity there isn’t more banter . This blog is boring and repetitive”
Anna, I’m assuming you’re talking about my “Stevo’s Mom” comments? That was tongue-in-cheek…otherwise I would report it myself (which I didn’t, you can ask the mods). Although, honestly, I do get annoyed when other users pretend to be someone else (as was the case with Stevo’s Mom). Also, it wasn’t banter, as Stevo was not responding…

STEVO..WHAT A FANTASTIC IDEA HE WILL GET THE TRUTH OUT..JUST LIKE HE DID WITH THE YANKS…
Michael Moore was last seen ordering 200 big macs from Mickey D’s in Flint Michigan. After washing them down with 60 chocoloate milkshakes he went home to sleep only to awaken to his body exploding another 400 lbs. Today he is a shut in and the American Right Wing conspiracy has been accused of spiking his tap water with a drug that induces insatiable hunger pains.
For his next movie jaunt, he will be forklifted out of his home and onto an hydrualic water craft that will spin around in circles like a hovercraft until he pukes his McDonald’s deluxe dinners out of his system - thus rehydrating the sub-saharran deserts with fluids and liquids long missing from their natural resources. At that point, whatever is left of mr. Moore’s remains will be used to film a documentary of his new movie “UNSUPERSIZE ME” .
The Christian Coalition is backing this latest film.

Mike Hondemburst,
I don’t say this with cruel criticism but your technique? Please work on it my good man for all our f***ing sakes.
Your girl Krissie is jammereing nonsense and becomes really bossy and agitated which means you’re not taking her all the way. If you were, she’d be very laid back, relaxed and willing to entertain other people’s opinions other than Stig, Shantilly and Maria.
She keeps awfully bad company mate and comes off as a loose canon on some days and a wrteched harpie on others. Maybe if you firmly pushed her head into the pillow and thrusted in an “8″ shape you’d caress her magic spot and finally shut her yammering mouth? Only a suggestion in case you haven’t tried it the Eddie and Keela way.
Godspeed and good luck for our sake and yours.

Tony - in response to the Scarlett messages and Batman’s observations about 13 May. If you Google ukele, you find very little apart from two unrelated links to a UK/US expat in Italy called Patrick Vincent. If you then Google Patrick Vincent plus Portugal, Algarve, Italy or Raphael, you’re taken to websites for Catholic Bishops. A couple seem to have/have had the name Patrick Vincent. Many of the names feature Raphael. You’re the detective, not me, and as you say Scarlett may just be teasing us. My gut feeling though is not. So if any of this is interesting or useful to you, so much the better.
Scarlett could be a “she” of course.
I tend to observe more than participate on this site, but I do find it fascinating and for some reason I feel a compulsion to know the truth. I know that you’ve taken a lot of flack over recent days and I wanted to say that I find your posts very interesting. And also that I hope you enjoy the break (internet cafes aside!).

I’d bet my mortgage against abduction. It’s a flimsy story to say the least. Like I said earlier, just ignore any ideas you may have and believe everything the McCanns say and that’s your abduction theory right there. It doesn’t even need evidence…it just needs belief.

STEVO…and dillan avery(think thtas how you spell it) what a video that would make…get them over here that will give us something to talk about…

Does Shantilly Lace have a pretty face?
No, that’s the other girl, Chantilly Lace…I’ve just got a hot bod
Chantilly Lace had a pretty face
and a ponytail hangin’ down
A wiggle in her walk and a giggle in her talk
Make the world go ’round
Ain’t nothing in the world like a big eyed girl
To make me act so funny, make me spend my money
Make me feel real loose like a long necked goose
Like a–oh baby, that’s a-what I like!

Is there a grassy knoll at the Mark Warner complex
October 12th, 2007 at 12:13 am
Peter O:
“The fact that someone had been in the apartment may well leave traces of their presence. I can see how if Madeleine had wandered outside of her own accord and a chance abduction in the street took place then in that instance there would be no trace of the abductor in the apartment.”
Ahh, but then it is claimed that cuddle cat was found on a high shelf, so how would she do that before managing to wander off? The only thing I could think of was that Kate forgot to give her the toy, Madeleine couldn’t sleep without it, went out looking for her mummy and possibly was snatched. That is the only way I can see that theory working out. That is just a theory based on shoddy facts though.

It would be fun to watch Gerry squirm as Michael Moore pursued him as he was shouting back “it’s ludicrous and ridiculous and any other word ending in -ous!”
October 12th, 2007 at 12:11 am
No stop, honest, you’re truly funny. Pretending to be American was a hoot but pretending to be female doesn’t become you at all. You were far more convincing a s a motor mouthed, ignorant, sub-degenerate ‘yank’. Don’t change tact now.
You mean, you’d have preferred me if I were male?? I didn’t know Spuds was a switch hitter ;-(
Is your AC or DC more dominant today?
Hmmm… Boy George, George Michael, Elton John, Prince Edward - what’s w/ the boy lover thing over there? Where have all the real men gone in England? I guess I better stay on this side of the pond - more likely to find a guy who’s NOT light in his loafers.
