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

So it looks like the new, replacement PJ cop thinks a bit like the last one. Looks too like we may get some new forensic news next week. I’m expecting a slow weekend of spin from Comical Clarrie…
McCanns ’still chief suspects’

Portugal’s top cop has said Kate and Gerry McCann remain the main suspects in Madeleine’s five-month disappearance.
National police director Alipio Ribeiro said the theory the couple killed their daughter was still the main line of inquiry.
But he added: “All lines of investigation are open and will continue to be open until we have more clarity on this case.”
Friends of the McCanns said they were told yesterday the results of the forensic tests in Birmingham would be sent to Portugal on Monday.
Experts have been examining a hair found in the boot of the couple’s rented Renault Scenic to see whether it came from a corpse and, if it was Madeleine’s, whether she had been sedated.
When the results are known the McCanns could be asked back to Portugal for further questioning, a police source said.
Any or all of their seven friends with them on May 3, the night Madeleine vanished, may also be recalled.

Guess I’ll be going to then. Noone’s on the forum this morning.
Have I missed out on all the good McConn’s stuff this week? Anyone??
October 12th, 2007 at 7:40 am
Tony Bennett,
Have a good holiday! Will miss your posts
October 12th, 2007 at 7:39 am
Susannah, hey how are you? I never heard you so angry before. What gives? Remember, I’m half American - but don’t worry, I won’t hold it against you this time
Seriously, let it go. Don’t bring yourself down to that level. You’re better than that. Let the kids bicker and fight it out amonst themselves. Let’s just moveon with the McConns.
What have I missed? I have about 5 minutes before getting ready to go to work this morning. Big day for me.
October 12th, 2007 at 7:39 am
Hi Paulette,
Am going off to teach now.
See you later.
October 12th, 2007 at 7:33 am
Hullo….Anyone around this morning? Am I talking to myself again?
Feck it - what’s wrong with this forum? I go away for a week and the whole place disappears on me.
Where’s the regular posters…the McScamms are at it again. Comical Ali is basking in the attention. No news on poor Madeleine..
October 12th, 2007 at 7:30 am
Okay I am awake now.
May 13th - the annihilation of Knights Templar.
Shantilly Lace - Does the name George Wanker Bush mean anything to you.
I think it would be prudent for you to shut up.
Iraq wants your dirty backsides out of their country.
Or do you still believe they were behind 9/11, Had weapons of mass destruction or that the great U.S is installing democracy.
I don’t know how to tell you this Lacey, but America is no longer an Empire, and it is dying as fast as the Great Rome did.
I loathe the current American Administration, plus the two priors.
There are some Americans seriously aware of the dangers facing your nation but you are still in la la land.
Go to bed or go and eat some fudge.
Even go and watch Casablanca just leave us disgusting people alone.
Answer that and keep us laughing for the entire week.
October 12th, 2007 at 7:30 am
Oh God, is there no end to this nonsense.
OK, how much do you think the good name of Shantilly Lace is worth on this forum, because I say, let’s save her poor overworked husband the effort and have a whip round. I’m sure the poor fella has more important things to do than defend her good ‘Internet chatting name’
Lets do the right thing, lets settle this out of court, how about, a smiley, three LOL’s at any further joke she tells (no matter how bad) and she can be exempt from the spelling police for a week?
Deal?… good, lets move on and hate ….err… The Swiss?
October 12th, 2007 at 7:28 am
CoolandCalm - You need your head examined. I’m in Italy. Shantilly’s in the U.S. Where’s your brain power this morning? I’ve been away all week.

You know Will’s a shit. lol!
What about them McCann’s - any new developments whilst I was away?
October 12th, 2007 at 7:24 am
Aha.. Paulette is Chantilly and vice versa. Should have guessed.
October 12th, 2007 at 7:22 am
Hi Everyone. Good morning!
Wow - I’ve been reading these posts. Hot stuff. But I believe Shantilly’s right about the libel suits - Will’s been falsely accusing her of being a terrorist all night. I read it on here when he said it. She’s going to sue him she says. She knows how to get the IP addresses I’m sure.. Her husband is an attorney with connections. She told us all this a while ago. She’s serious. I would be careful if I were Will. He accused her of being a terrorist supporter and stuff and made up all kinds of shit that she didn’t say. That’s not cool.
My money is with Shantilly on this one.
October 12th, 2007 at 7:15 am
And to think they said poor old Eddie was barking mad.
October 12th, 2007 at 7:10 am
Shantilly Lace
I stand corrected on my typo - you are correct 9/11!
I have no intention of turning your fellow Americans against you. You seem to be doing a pretty good job of that yourself, not to mention the Brits and Irish.
Sorry - the 9/11 is not enough. Be a REAL MAN Will, and apologize to me.
For this is what YOU said……….
Saying to the majority of Brits that the IRA were justified in their terror campaign is rather like saying to the majority of Americans that the 7/11 bombings were justified. It is not likely to endear yourselves to them.
But this is what I SAID:
Ireland was one country - the Brits do not belong in the NORTH. Ireland should be reunited - and the IRA, albeit they are terrorists - wanted it back. The Brits terrorized the Irish by taking it from them in the first place
My reponses to the rest of your bullshit are in caps:
Whilst you may not agree with me, and many do not the one thing I can take stock by is my honesty.- YOU ARE SO DISHONEST!!!! YOU WERE CAUGHT COMMITTING LIBEL AGAINST ME RIGHT HERE ON THIS FORUM. YOU CALLED ME A PRO IRA SUPPORTER NOT TO MENTION PRO MCCANN - I AM NEITHER.
As for trying to attack you whilst you are not online all I can say is ‘how the bloody hell would I know if you are at your computer or not?’ BECAUSE YOU KNEW I HADN’T POSTED IN HOURS. AND YOU SAID TO KRISSIE - THAT I WAS NOT AROUND AND THAT SHE SHOULD KEEP IT ON THE DOWN LOW.
Will says:If that makes me an A-Hole or shit so be it but it will be a cold day in hell before you receive an apology.
Oh really? LOL!! At rate you’re going, you may just spend a cold day in hell - in fact, eternity in hell if I had my wish.
We shall see….
Debate with you about Ireland?? LOL!! I wouldn’t allow you to do such an injustice to Ireland. You’d be the last person on earth permitted to debate the subject of Ireland. You falsely accuse people of shit. And others think so too……I have read your posts and theories and they really suck as much as you do.
And guess what WILL?? Ireland wants your ugly British asses out of the North too. Nope, they are peaceful wonderful people - they want their land back though…..and it is their’s - and YOUR country terrorized the poor Irish folks when you stole it from them.
And you want to give me some convuluted BS speech on your side of the story…….sorry, I ain’t wastin’ no more time with you.
You’re as irritating as a roomful of maggots.
I’ll tell you what’s disgusting - Your arrogance is Disgusting. That’s what’s disgusting.
I won’t waste anymore breath on you- I’ve already outted you for the liar that you are.

What a load of bollocks, you can’t sue anyone on a forum like this and anyway everybody gives bogus names for a start and I go through a million proxy servers anyway.
How fucking pathetic.
Hey why don’t you sue me Shantilly Crutch you IRA Provo Republican supporting fanatical Al Qaeda lover…LOL!

Well I never did. what an amusing furore this morning…..
Chantilly, you’re quite mad!
October 12th, 2007 at 7:01 am
If you feel that you wish to go down the route of litigation, all I can say is feel free. I have never said you supported terrorism or any named terror organisation. Read once again what I said;
Saying to the majority of Brits that the IRA were justified in their terror campaign is rather like saying to the majority of Americans that the 7/11 bombings were justified. It is not likely to endear yourselves to them.
But if you want to get hysterical and threaten to sue me that’s fine.

Let me guess, your second husband was WBC World Heavyweight Champion?
You poor deluded soul. I am happy to discuss any aspect of the sweet science with you or anyone else.
Oh by the way, given my one sentence on boxing on what premise do you base your argument; ‘You dork - you don’t know shit about boxing either. Stupid fuckhead!!’? It would useful to know.
The same premise that you base the terrorism statements on….the same premise where you accuse me of supporting the IRA….the same premise where you say I am incapable of supporting myself…..the same premise where you thought you’d turn the whole forum against me and put words in my mouth while I was not here tonight - that same premise……remember??
So , you can call me an IRA terrorist support - when I JUST the opposite and stated so numerous times - but if I say you know nothing about Boxing - you want to know what Premise I come up with.
Let me see, is that defamation of your fragile ego??? LOL - cause you don’t have any character so it can’t be defamation of character.
But I on the otherhand CAN sue you for Libel - for falsely accusing me of supporting the IRA when I said just the opposite. You blatantly lied.
And since you refuse to apologize - being the feeble weak lost puppy that you are …….then I will take matters into my own hands and pursue to seek litigation charges against you here. It’s all in writing too.
No, my husband is not a WBC - he’s a litigation Attorney in Chicago where we live today.
I’d be thinking real hard about an apology if I were you - we can get your number - subpoenaed from the Linux servers in the US or through Anorak directly if need be. You see Will, what YOU did was commit libel on here- and on top of it, you also show ZERO remorse. You accused me of supporting the IRA - when I said just the opposite.
Here’s what I said - for the last time you fuckface!!!
Ireland was one country - the Brits do not belong in the NORTH. Ireland should be reunited - and the IRA, albeit they are terrorists - wanted it back. The Brits terrorized the Irish by taking it from them in the first place
And I will NOT debate anything with you ever again - until you issue me a public apology. Actually, I have ZERO interest in conversing or dialoguing with you at all ever again…..YOU SUCK.
But I will pursue libel charges against you for your false accusations against me. That’ll teach you a lesson to keep your big fucking mouth closed. When we’re done with your ugly ass, you’ll be wishing you apologized 1 mm times over. Without an apology, your ass is grass
You arrogant FUCK!

Saying Shantilly was amusing is only going to incite things further.
EXCUSE FUCK HEAD - I do support my family financially you idiot - so you are wrong AGAIN!! What about YOU WILL? Do you ever work?? You’re always on this forum…
And PRAY TELL - WHERE do you get off saying this:
Saying to the majority of Brits that the IRA were justified in their terror campaign is rather like saying to the majority of Americans that the 7/11 bombings were justified. It is not likely to endear yourselves to them.
First of all, 7/11 is not 9/11 you asshole. It’s a grocery store in the US you idiot!!!
And most importantly, Where did I say the IRA was justified?? I said they were Terrorists. I never said they were justified. What is fucking wrong w your eyes and brains????
What the fuck is wrong with you - how to you come up with these VERY dangerous conclusions - quite the opposite of what I said…..
7/11?? You stupid dickhead. It’s 9/11.
And where did I say the IRA is justified?? Those WERE YOUR WORDS.
If your armchair sleuthing is anywhere remotely like this…..You are in deep doodie. Everythign you say from this point on, and the past is discredited.
You are not only a liar, and a manipulator - you are really bad at doing both. Let’s see, How do you make the leap from what I said….to your statements?? YOu are so stupid. And you fabricated the whole thing to turn my fellow Americans against me. That’s the manipulator in you.
And it didn’t work

I think somone will do themselves a mischief if they don’t calm down a little.
Sure I’ll calm down after that asshole issues me a public apology.
He called me an IRA supporter when I said NOTHING of the kind.
He thought I was gone….but no, I was watching - so lesson be learned WILL….don’t fuck around with people’s words on here. It’ll come back to bite you in the butt if you do.
Speaking of which, I hope you get bit in the butt today - once you step outside your door. You deserve it.
I am WAITING FOR MY APOLOGY WILL - WILL YOU ISSUE THE APOLOGY WILL?????????????????
He fucking called me an IRA supporter when I clearly did not say anything even remotely close to that.
Is it normal for little Brit boys to be such lying blokes?? I thought so….

You further went on to state:

So as your fellow American here, give me the benefit of the doubt. We are a nation of peaceful people, no matter what he dimwitted Brits think -and we don’t go around saying good stuff about Terrorists. That is WHY I said the IRA albeit are terrorists. But so have the Brits been in the past. They were AWFUL - absolutely AWFUL - and have terrorized many nations over the years. These people here would have denied the holocaust if they had been on the German’s side.
UNQUOTE
If that makes me an A-Hole or shit so be it but it will be a cold day in hell before you receive an apology.
You go on to say:

He’s no better than the McCanns…..LOL ..and he’s calling ME who is NOT pro - McCann, an McCann supporter??
UNQUOTE
Given that I have never come across Shantilly Lace before I can only assume that it is you and not those you accuse who is suffering from multiple personality forum disorder. I am happy to stand corrected if you show me where I called you a McCann supporter.

Shantilly, don’t let them get to you so much. I don’t think Will and Spudgun are the same. Will is actually mostly reasonable I’ve found and willing to discuss. Spudgun really was an asshole today and he is DEFINITELY anti-American , but don’t validate his asshole-ness by being anti-Brit. Most people on this forum are Brits and they’re OK. It’s just that Spuds has a stick up his butt when it comes to the Americans. SO ignore the Potato Head.
You are correct about Spudgun - he’s a total ahole and so far off the deep end in his anti-americanisms…so jealous of us it’s a joke!
But Will, is actually worse I believe. Spudgun did not deliberatly make up shit about me today - but Will did. Unless of course they are the same people.
Will owes me a HUGE apology for his false accusations. And he is REFUSING to apologize. He’s an ASSHOLE all in caps. He’s only playing up to you because on some convaluted level he’s interested in you.
I can see that PIG from far across the Pond - Figuratively of course for all the morons out there that don’t understand what I am saying - He owes me ONE FUCKING HUGE apology for accusing me of supporting Terrorism - when I said JUST THE OPPOSITE.
So Will - Where’s my apology??? I am waiting you Little Dweeb!
Krissie -if he’s a good guy - why did he lie when I not here and accuse me of supporting the IRA?? And When I caught him lying to you, about ME, he STILL REFUSE to issue me an public apology.
And at the very least - he owes me that. I say it again, He’s a dim witted Brit. In the same league as much of the other trashy Brits on this forum. Their arrogance is unsurpassed.
Will is an ASSHOLE. There ain’t nothing good about that lying piece of Trash. And he calls the McCanns liars. LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Look at what he did right here- and he got CAUGHT in the act!!! He’s a LOSER!!!!!
