Madeleine McCann: Kate McCann Sobs, Gerry McCann Points And 14 Questions
MADDY WATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann
DAILY MIRROR front page: “KATE’S TORMENT – ‘I think she is being held by someone in their house..as Madeleine’s mummy I feel in my heart she’s out there’”
“Distraught” Kate McCann is on Spanish TV. She is being interviewed. Says she: “I don’t know how anyone could harm anyone as beautiful as Madeleine”
Pages 4 and 5: “TEARS OF KATE – After six months of holding her heartbreak in check..Madeleine’s mum breaks down on TV”
Three pictures of Kate McCann:
“SO EMPTY: Kate tries to explain her loss on TV”
“TOO MUCH: She can’t hold back the tears”
“SOBBING: Kate and Gerry on TV”
“14 questions Portuguese police are flying to Britain to out to the McCanns and friends” – So reports Portuguese newspaper 24 Horas. Why would the police publish the questions and allow the McCanns and their friends to prepare answers? Why only – or as many as - 14 questions? Unless these are questions made up by the media, questions the police are “expected” to ask…
DAILY EXPRESS front page: “MADELEINE – POLICE WANT ANSWERS TO 14 QUESTIONS. What detectives demand to know”
Pages 4 and 5: “Kate breaks down during TV grilling.” Kate and Gerry McCann are on the telly. Says Kate: “I feel sad and I feel lonely and our life is not as happy without Madeleine…we want people to try to reunite us with your beautiful girl”
And: “We know the truth. We know we are totally innocent. That is why we are calm. We know each other”
Says a “British detective”: “The detectives could be giving the suspects enough rope to hang themselves. It is a common tactic in police investigations to let those under suspicion speak on television in case they trip themselves up”
THE SUN front page: “KATE WEEPS FOR MADDIE – I feel in my heart she is out there”
“Distraught” Kate on the telly. Kate and Gerry are publicising a telephone hotline. No, not 999, their own number
Pages 4 and 5: “MADDIE NEEDS US – So lonely without our lovely girl, sobs Kate”
Three pictures of “Precious..the happy Maddie her mum longs to see”
Three pictures of the McCanns:
“Anguish…Gerry faces TV quiz”
“Ordeal…Kate fights back tears”
“Brave…but the McCanns struggle with their emotions as they relive the night Maddie vanished”
The hotline. Says Kate McCann: “We want to appeal to the people of Spain, Portugal and North Africa to help us and to tell them we have a new central phone number for them to call”
DAILY STAR front page: “MADDIE MUM FINALLY CRACKS – Suspect Kate sobs on TV as she is quizzed”
Pages 8 and 9: “MADDIE’S MUM TV BREAKDOWN – Torment as Kate’s sobs halt interview four times”. Spanish TV journalist Roberto Arce sees Kate “prostrate with pain”
The McCanns hotline number is 00 34 902 300 213
DAILY MAIL pages 8 and 9: “I’M SAD AND LONELY…LIFE IS NOT HAPPY”
Says Mrs McCann: “Somebody knows something. It is not about us. It is about Madeleine.” Is it? We are watching the parents
Gerry McCanns is a “consultant cardiologist”. He says: “We have not been charged with anything”
“Will they find her in Spain?” – Gerry McCann tells El Mundo newspaper (Spain): “The possibility that Madeleine is alive and in Spain is real…If someone had a car, it is clear they could cross into Spain. There is no border guard and no one closed the border the night Madeleine disappeared.” And we look again at the police
THE TIMES page 3: “Sobbing Kate McCann insists that Madeleine is alive and being held”
“Days of hope and despair” – The Times looks at some key dates: June 21 (Madeleine in Malta); August 3 (Madeleine in Belgium); August 23 (Madeleine in Morocco)
DAILY TELEGRAPH front page: “’I’M SO SAD AND LONELY’ – KATE McCANN WEEPS FOR MADELEINE ON SPANISH TV”
Page 5: “’Sad, lonely’ Kate weeps for Madeleine in TV interview” – Kate McCann wept “uncontrollably”. Says he:” I feel anxious she is not with us”
THE GUARDIAN page 12: “McCanns set up phone line to seek Madeleine”
THE INDEPENDENT: No Madeleine news today

There will never be a body - just like Gerry said in his “taunt.”

The new phone line is certainly suspicious after 6 months and could definately be used to leak information that the McCanns want to be made available.
The train has come off the tracks and a method is needed to tidy up the mess.

1274 - not sure if you can youtube it
October 25th, 2007 at 10:15 pm
hi wanderer… what time approximately (save me reading everything!)
October 25th, 2007 at 10:14 pm
RTE 1 programme: nothing new at all. Except it started with the new photofit picture. I think most people will have turned over the Prison Break at that stage.
Sadly although there was a bit of Clarence in his rather crumpled pink shirt, there was no special guest appearance of Auntie P.

1255 Jolie. It is post number 9 this morning - in the beginning. Do a search by hitting the button Ctrl and F for find (ctrl + F) and then type in your word. That will work too.

Anyone know how to make available a picture? I have some breaking news.
October 25th, 2007 at 10:13 pm

1262 Mathew - I know many doctors (GP’s) and they have great difficulty with personal issues, they crack up. They are used to dealoing with the problems of others but are bad at dealing with their own issues.
These people are clearly riddled with guiolt, but have yet to accept their actions as guilty. They have never stood up and said ‘we were WRONG ‘.
They should be setting an example - but the example they are setting is hardly appropriate for doctors.
They know that their suffering is NOTHING to that which they have exposed an innocent child. Nothing is sufficient punishment for what they have done, they must be punished and they must be seen to be punished, the law must come to the defence of innocent children and be seen to do so. So whats your angle? Why defend this neglect? You like the idea of children being exposed to risk?

1248 coolandcalm Sorry but Stig’s little dance about preferring to believe the early reports when contradicted by the most recent ones is something that I haven’t particularly noticed the ‘anti-McCanns’ doing - rather they seem to take each new piece of information and analyse it, adapting their theories to fit, or not. As for the nannies, unfortunately they have changed their stories which doesn’t make them the most credible of witnesses. The waiter has not, nor has any reason to. However, I’m not aware that I mentioned either - only Stig’s adaptation of the facts to fit what he wishes to believe.
Personally, I lean towards the accidental death theory and the fact that the McCanns had everything to lose when it was discovered they had sedated Madeleine. I find some of the more outrageous theories here to be entertaining and enjoy seeing their plausibility tested. But for me the bottom line is that - as a middle class professional with a small child - I find their actions incomprehensible. I can’t empathise with their plight because it is entirely self induced. Health care professionals simply aren’t that ‘naive’ - at least none of the extremely hard working and dedicated members of that profession that I work with on a regular basis are - perhaps the McCanns simply didn’t feel the need to attend child protection training and have never seen the NSPCC guidelines for appropriate childcare. Of course, that would be utter bollox. And commomsense tells you that the risk of abduction when you leave your kids in a situation like that is way down the list when you make your risk assessment - after trips, falls, burns, scrapes, apartment catching fire etc etc. In fact it would be about as likely that she’d be abducted by aliens…

Hi, Andrew.
There are some posts addressed to you earlier, incase you want to check (good ones).

Who gives a F**k

1203 — “[Mitchell] is there to protect someone else.” My guess is that whoever paid for Clarence Mitchell initially believed the McCanns were innocent. (I think almost all of the McCann supporters outside the Tapas Nine originally assumed the McCanns were innocent.) Now that Gerry McCann is so besotted with the spotlight that he cannot shut up, and the McCanns’ story is full of holes, whoever is paying Mitchell’s bills is in a jam. The backer can’t very well pull Mitchell off the case. To do so would look ungallant, and would make the backer look kind of nutty. Perhaps at this point, Clarence Mitchell reasons that the professional thing to do is to keep plugging, minimizing McCanns’ self-inflicted wounds as best he can. The consolation to having a client as arrogant as Gerry McCann is that, when everything is over, people won’t blame Clarence Mitchell for his insufferable client.

Matthew Says:
Had they shown or expressed any remorse or guilt over their ‘mistake’ instead of isisting they had done nothing wrong, just maybe they would have had a little bit of sympathy. As it is, their guilt or remorse now would appear to be de to public opinion through sites such as this, not because they have any real feelings of guilt or remorse.

Hi guys. just waiting to hear from my portuguese pals regarding the waste collections at mark warner. My mates live in Porto, shouldn’t be too difficult for them to find out. everybody cool tonight?

Judith, if they are guilty and the body is found that way, etc. I agree, the campaign will be another thing to tackle. I don’t see it being tidy in their defense or in the minds of the public.
October 25th, 2007 at 10:07 pm
The mysterious Scarlett implies, after the anonymous phone call to the new hot-line giving the location of the body, that the ‘insane’ one (presumably Kate) will take the rap and the rest will escape with the DNA evidence swept under the carpet after strings have been pulled. Yes, I can imagine this to be the scenario, but…is no-one nowhere going to say anything about the biggest individual scam (maybe) in modern times - the Find Madeleine Fund - perpetrated on an innocent and trusting and gullible public who sincerely wanted to help find this child?
This wasn’t set up by an ‘insane’ woman or a grief-stricken innocent man. It was set up by two cold calculating profiteers trading (and still trading) on the disappearance and possible death of an innocent child. Is this going to be swept under the carpet as well?
October 25th, 2007 at 10:06 pm
1259 Evidence?
They clearly are not telling all, whats your angle?
October 25th, 2007 at 10:05 pm
Yes..They made a HUGE mistake by leaving the 3 kids alone..But they are now suffering the consequences..They may not show it..but remember, They are both doctors..They deal with stress on an everyday basis. and can show compose themselves in front of a camera
October 25th, 2007 at 10:05 pm
Brekaing news, I have a picture (artists representation) of the abduction!
October 25th, 2007 at 10:04 pm
1253 Matthew,
it might also please you to know she’s taken to pacifying herself with a soft toy.
October 25th, 2007 at 10:03 pm
Naa..They didn’t do it..Pj are just a bunch of idiots who screwed up..And Amaral is the one who is making everyone believe that they did it..But they twisted everything..That’s why HE is OUT!!!!
October 25th, 2007 at 10:02 pm
1234 Mathew, that you have to ask is a testimony to your position. The neglect is undisputed, they should without a doubt be prosecuted.
October 25th, 2007 at 10:02 pm

Can you tell me (approximately) where Pat’s posts on the Ramsey case are on the forum? It takes so long to search through the 1000+ posts for info.
Thanks
October 25th, 2007 at 10:01 pm

Are you there Stevo?
October 25th, 2007 at 9:57 pm
1247. I hope you are right. Then we can put this entire affair to bed, of course, not before getting a few choice words in about the Mc’s.
