Madeleine McCann: When Waiters Attack, Kate McCann Childcare Inc. And Feudal Powers
MADDY WATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann
DAILY EXPRESS front page: “MADELEINE – ‘McCANNS OR A FRIEND MUST BE TO BLAME’. Tapas bar waiter’s astonishing attack”
Jose Batista served the McCanns and party on that night Madeleine disappeared. “I did not think she had been taken by an abductor,” says he. “I told them [the police] it had to be one of the family or a friend. It had to be someone close”
Mr Batista is a “crucial eyewitness”
Page 4: “Nanny would have cost just £10” – Batista is standing with his “partner” Maria Fernandes, who also works at the Ocean Club complex. She does not speak. She smiles for the camera. Why is she there? They are holding hands. He says the Tapas 9 did check on their children regularly: “I know that because I often took food to the table and found one of them not there. I would take it back to the table to heat it up. But it was always the men who went to check never the women.” Apart from the time Kate McCann went to check. So not always the men. Jose thought that strange. Why?
Says he: “They left heir children alone. If I had been in that position I certainly wouldn’t have done that.” Maria smiles
“Kate may be a child carer after ruling out GP work” – But would she make living at it?
THE SUN front page: “MADDIE EXCLUSIVE: WHAT WAITERS SAW. Kate left kids alone 3 hours a night”
It’s Jose Baptista, not to be confused with the Express’s Jose Batista, even if this waiter does look very similar and is seen holding hands with his “wife”, also called Maria
Pages 4 and 5: “The men normally checked on kids..Kate only went that one night”
Kate and Gerry are “doctors”. Says Jose: “They left their children alone for up to three hours every night.” Apart from when they all went out as family, with the “cranky” children
Maria speaks: “I definitely remember Madeleine. She was like a little angel, very quiet and good as gold. Just a lovely little blonde girl.” Blonde, you say?
“CAREER PLANS STILL ON HOLD”
DAILY STAR page 7: “holiday waiter describes horror night girl vanished – MADDIE: ‘ONLY PARENTS OR PALS COULD HAVE DONE IT’” – Jose Batista says…
“Kate wants job in child care”
DAILY MAIL front page: “I want to work in child care says Maddie’s mother”
Page 7: “Kate McCann ‘wants a job in child welfare’” – So it is “claimed”. So she ahs “told friends”
“FRIENDS ‘SHARED EIGHT BOTTLES OF WINE A NIGHT’” – Says Jose Baptista. Yes, eight bottles between nine Britons. On holiday. In the sun. Indeed, is that all?
DAILY TELEGRAPH page 9: “Madeleine’s mother ‘to as GP for a child welfare job’”
“One possibility is that she will set up a charity to raise awareness of the extent of child abductions across Europe, and help parents and children who suffer such an ordeal”
Fernando Jose Pinto Montiero, Portugal’s attorney general, says the country’s Ministerio Publico, likened to the UK’s Crown Prosecution Service, is a “feudal power”

Exactly, however they are too busy paying their mortgage from the million odd trust fund set up to HELP FIND THIER DAUGHTER!
Go figure! They are the ones who left her alone and they are the ones who know the truth! They are the ONLY ONES WHO ARE NOT LOOKING!

It’s not the case that is odd - it’s the couple (aka parents!!!!).
November 1st, 2007 at 11:37 pm
Star isn’t she still in Spain? Actually, I’ve lost track with their globe trotting these days! However, the ‘wonderful’ Gerry (cardiologist) is back at work and hopefully making enough to ‘cover’ the ‘mortgage’ payments on their 1.2 million pound dome .. sorry ‘home’!
I am really curious to find out how many ‘consultant’ cardiologists in the NHS make ‘enough’ money to purchase a 1.2 millon pound home? IS that WHERE my taxes are going Mr Brown?
November 1st, 2007 at 2:39 pm
Oh i see the BIG news of the day is Gerry has gone back to work? Well…i hope he plans on making payments to the FIND MADELEINE fund, since it looks like it supported them for the last 6 months.
And what about Madeleine? IMO the Mccanns and friends know alot more than they are saying. And none of us knows what happen to Madeleine, The Mccanns and their dinner friends know if they were involved. I also find it odd that Gerry has told us they thought that Madeleine was safe and being cared for….makes you wonder. This whole story makes you stop and wonder what happen to this innocent child. I still say The Mccanns are guilty…guilty of what? well only time will tell.
Wonder what Kate does all day now, with the twins in school and Gerry back at work. Her and cuddle cat must take long runs…..

Interesting that they were in arrears w/mtg. payment? Interesting that gerry say’s Madeleine is being held in Spain? Interesting that they are not making a mad dash to where she might be? Very interesting that gerry can p/u his life and continue as usual.
Everything about this case is so weird, it makes you wonder what is really going on.
October 31st, 2007 at 10:01 pm
It is impossible for anyone, apart from the one person/persons who were there at the time Madeleine disappeared, to know what actually happened. All else is speculation.
October 30th, 2007 at 9:22 pm
Can someone tell me how a part-time locum GP and a naff cardiologist - max $69k pa (not with London weighting) can ‘afford’ a £1.2 million house - up north ??????
Even on a 10 times your salary mortgage it doesn’t make sense!
Smells odd to me and even odder when you consider they were already in arrears with the mortgage before all this happened in Portugal!
October 30th, 2007 at 9:17 pm
Star says it all re the ‘Fund’ !
The only funding the fund has done is to pay for a couple of t-shirts; quite a few (no doubt 1st class) plane tickets —– ohhh and a couple of thousand pounds worth of mortgages - let alone the more we are yet to hear about…………….. ‘expenses’ ……………..to the McCriminal family and it’s slimy members!
October 30th, 2007 at 5:22 pm
**I hope all the people who contributed to the Madeleine fund, thinking the money would be used to HELP FIND MADELEINE read this to see where their money really went….
This is terrible…and how many times did they tell us that the money was NOT used to support the Mccanns…
KATE and Gerry McCann have reportedly used the $2.2 million Find Madeleine fund set up to help locate their daughter to pay off their mortgage.
Fund organisers refused to say how much had been spent but confirmed that money donated by concerned people worldwide was made available for the family’s living expenses.
Britain’s Daily Mirror newspaper revealed neither has worked since Madeleine vanished on May 3, although Mr McCann is due to return to his post as a hospital consultant this week.
Mortgage repayments on the couple’s $1.12 million home in Rothley, Leicestershire, are believed to be $4475 a month.
**Also i just read the Mccanns released the pic of the man they think took Madeleine? The Mccanns? I like how they just go and do what they want. Also, if Tanner told the police at the time WHY is this pic being released almost 6 months later?
October 29th, 2007 at 10:28 pm
Detectives are now understood to be examining the theory that Madeleine was kidnapped, stolen to order on the instructions of a paedophile gang and might still be alive in Morocco.
k…what happen to all the evidence they had that Madeleine was dead? This case has been unbelievable. Six months and no sign of lil Madeleine.
October 28th, 2007 at 9:56 pm
Personally, right now I am SOOOO SICK of seeing the McCriminal’s mother going on and on and on about the PLIGHT of her daughter Kate!
People said she doesn’t cry…………then she does so right on cue on Spanish TV. (where are the twins bitch????)
. Then it’s ‘leave Kate alone’ …………………….why???? Not 24 hours after Madeleine went missing Kate and Gerry were up to their waist in reporters - no time to grief; gotta get on with our plan of telling the world our daugter is missing!
And I seem to be hearing today that they want the Portuguese police to get on with ‘looking for Madeleine’? ………….. no people they are looking for the murderers! i.e. someone from the McCann Clann! Odd isn’t it that the new guy in charge is highly experienced in ‘cracking’ paedophile gangs!
I suggest to the McCriminals - why don’t you START looking for your daughter yourselves instead of insisting the world looks at YOU AND YOUR SORRY FACES?
October 28th, 2007 at 6:53 pm
How sad that the ‘tapas 9′ have each other yet little Madeleine had no-one. One tiny little defenceless toddler mysteriously disappears and all that the ‘tapas 9′ are concerned about is defending the McCann’s … I have read several postings where parents state that they have all at some time left their children alone, and then carry on to criticise those who find a problem with it. Two wrongs don’t make a right! If irresponsible parents leave their kids alone for long periods at a time it doesn’t make it right … Leaving your toddlers unattended is not a mistake - it is selfish, irrepsonsible and so inconsiderate. IT IS WRONG IN ANY LANGUAGE!!! Please find little Maddie so that we can get closure.

Ms Tanner, 36, was one of the group of friends who were on holiday with the McCanns - the Tapas Nine - and told police she saw the man walking towards the church in Praia da Luz about 9.15pm.
She thought nothing of it until the alarm was raised 45 minutes later, and was said to be “racked with guilt”.
The artist left the man’s face blank because Miss Tanner said she never saw it in the dark street.
IMO Ms Tanner didnt see anyone. According to her she could describe this man to a “T” and even knew what pj’s were on the child, if she didnt think it was strange at the time, WHY can she describe him in detail? Makes no sense…..If he was picking a child up from the creche, that could easily be checked, i’m sure they have some type of records.

The video is no longer available..WEIRD
It made some very crucial points. Questioning McCanns. I guess thats my answer as to why it is no longer available???
It certainly was “a must see!!”

American Talk show (Nancy Grace)..usually supportive of McCanns was sending mixed msgs (isn’t that is what we always get)on tonights episode they discussed how detached the McCann’s seemed to be (nothing new) and how they were on the defensive throughout. Gerry whispered to Kate” not to say anything (or be careful what she was saying)while the mic’s were still on.” Did not know he was being recorded.
Also talked about Madeleines dna being found in Murats house. Another twist to this unbelievably complicated chain of events. Will the truth ever be found?
Thought! Why are the McCann’s only NOW setting up phones to receive info. on Madeleine?? This should have been done at the beginning.
Why are they not being questioned about there strange suspicious behavior. Or maybe to some they are not behaving strange and suspicious.Sadly ,they are all that Madeleine has. I guess then Madeleine has no one.
October 26th, 2007 at 1:10 am
Only just seen this, so apologies if it’s been posted before - looks very damning to the McCanns -

Hi Stephanie,
Difficult to post w/Anoraks new forum…

Star 1514
Does Gerry “really” know that “Madeleine is alive and being cared for in Spain? “or is this another curve ball being thrown at the public? The one liners like this are constantly being given to the press without any facts. I am waiting to hear one piece of factual evidence being followed up on to its rightful conclussion. If the truth is out there then Gerry should be off and running in that direction.

Two Brian Kennedy’s
One is a multimilionaire from scotland aged 47
the other is the uncle of Madeleine aged 60 something
ne’er the twain shall meet!

Do you not find it heineous that this couple left THREE children all under the age of FOUR - two of which were only two years old ALONE IN A FOREIGN FLAT?
I can never understand children just DISAPPEARING - especially from their bed without screaming shouting and crying!
Maybe in a trailor park yank side?
October 25th, 2007 at 9:23 pm
Scottie it really would depend on what they said to the priest. It is ‘highly’ unlikely that if they murdered her they would be confessing. Remember it is Kate who is the Catholic and not Gerry! She would probably be asking for forgiveness for leaving her children alone!
Point is in a confession then it remains private. I knew an old priest who told me that if someone told him in confession they had an abortion he would tell them to spend one day volunteering on SPUC or a similar hotline!
I mentioned ‘keys’ before - but it is only one key to a church. We knew where I work about the key being handed over before the press did - and about the hooandhar! It is not surprising that he has been moved in such a high-profile situation!

1512 - Hideki
“Why is it so hard for you to believe that there are two Brian Kennedy’s?”
Because so far I have seen no proof. And you have not shown any proof either.
“I know for a fact that there are two…”
Fact!!?? Why are you unable to prove it, then?
“… and Maria is perfectly right when she says one is the retired Headmaster and the other is a double glazing millionnaire from Cheshire. ”
I’m rather tired of hearing a differentiation based on “present occumpation” and “past occupation”. Why don’t you provide the precise birth dates and birth places — if these individuals are not the same?
“Are you too lazy to Google it, and see for yourself?”
Hmmmmm… Are you too lazy to back up your own claims by providing documentation of birth dates and birth places? Why can’t you (or anyone else) at least provide links of sources that you think prove the individuals are not the same?
“Or are you just trying to create another doubt in peoples minds, and try to muck stir?”
Hmmmm…. There SHOULD be doubt in people’s minds, because no one has proved that the two Brian Kennedy’s are different people.
Moreover, as I posted before, immediately after the wealthy magnate Brian Kennedy entered the picture, the McCann family member Brian Kennedy (director of the “search” fund” DISAPPEARED from news articles. Previously, Kate’s uncle had been frequently quoted as “a family spokesman”. Now, there is NO MENTION of him. Why?
So… are YOU trying to remove doubt without providing any proof that they are different people? To use your words, are you “too lazy”? Or perhaps no such proof exists?
” I am sure we can find two idiots posting on this forum, we’re half way there, we only have to find another one!!!”
I don’t mind your personal remarks, but as far as I am concerned, YOU are the “idiot” for disparaging others, while claiming that the two Brian Kennedys are the same person, even though you are unable to prove such a simple claim.
Again, (to anyone), where is the proof?

Wanderer: Defo off to bed now…..love your way of thinking….but do you agree maybe we should hang fire a bit on this overly complicated case? I agree the Tapas 9 must have more to contribute…….but can we really expect that much???? A child is missing, presumed dead (i suspect!) not acceptable I think. One day it will be solved…..but think how long it was before the Moors murderers were apprehendid? It is 3am in London….if your here…you should be in bed!xxxxxxxxxxxxx
