Madeleine McCann: Jane Tanner’s eFit, A Spanish Angel And Wearing Pink Pyjamas
MADDY WATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann
DAILY EXPRESS front page: “MADELEINE – 70% DON’T BELIEVE McCANNS”
The McCanns are on the TV in Spain. The show is followed by a phone vote. The people vote, at least some of them do; how many, we are not told. One, two, three..? Gerry is a “cardiologist”
Pages 4 and 5: “Police: Parents are hampering probe.” Angel Galan, head of the Spanish National Police’s kidnap, extortion and murder squad says: “There is no real information to indicate that Madeleine could be in Spain although Mr and Mrs McCann might think so. I think the question is why couldn’t she be in France or in the UK? Why does it have to be Spain, Portugal or Morocco?”
“Drawing that could catch her abductor” – an artist’s impression of a man carrying a child in the vicinity of the McCanns holiday complex on May 3. The man is of average height, of average build, with dark hair and with his facial features not filled in. Do you know him?
The artist was commissioned by the McCanns in light of a person their friend Jane Tanner said she saw on the night Madeleine disappeared
THE SUN front page: “PICTURE SENSATION. He took Maddie – MAN SEEN BY McCANNS’ PAL ON FATEFUL NIGHT”
A drawing of a man. The caption: “Hunted…a drawing of man with child in his arms as seen by Jane Tanner”
Page 13: “MADDIE IN ARMS OF SNATCHER. Pyjamas ‘prove it is her’” – The man is 5ft 6. He is 5ft 10 in the Express. He is “slim”. The girl is wearing pink and white pyjamas. The man is in a maroon shirt, camel coloured trousers and black or brown shoes
Says Clarence Mitchell: “We hope this will go a long was to proving the independent eyewitness account that she was taken by someone and the police’s focus on Kate and Gerry as potential suspects is wrong”. See drawing of a man seen by McCanns’ friend
And: “We believe it does show Madeleine in his arms. The description of the pyjamas is accurate enough to believe that is the case.” The McCanns’ friend sees the girl wearing pyjamas like those worn by Madeleine, whom she knows
“GERRY BACK AT WORK” – Gerry McCann is a “cardiologist” – lest we ever forget
DAILY MIRROR front page: “This is the man who took our Madeleine. PARENTS RELEASE SKETCH”
Page 11: “’He was slim with untidy black hair, plastered back. He was hurrying with a child in pink pyjajmaas’” (No songs please)
“’KIDNAPPER’ SEEN BY KATE’S PAL”
Paul Routledge: “All I want to do is put my arms around her and say: ‘there, there’ while she sobs out her grief on my shoulder”
DAILY MAIL front page: “Friends’ fears for ‘increasingly fragile’ Kate”
Pages 8 and 9: “Is Kate at breaking point?” – If she cracks up will the papers like her better? “Friends fear for Maddie’s mother after TV ordeal”
“SPANISH EYES” – The McCanns have launched a private “proxy investigation” in Spain. Under Portuguese law it is illegal to use private detectives while an investigation is ongoing
The mystery man who may have taken her” – Mrs Tanner sees the man. She is later “racked with guilt”
DAILY STAR front page: “MADDIE PARENTS ‘HIDING TRUTH’ – 70 per cent of TV viewers thinks McCanns are lying”
Pages 4 and 5: “BODY LANGUAGE SPECIALIST GIVES HIS VERDICT ON KATE – ‘MUM WOULD BE VERY GOOD POKER PLAYER’.” Robert Phipps watches the interview with Kate McCann on Spanish TV. She is frowning, and expert Phipps says this is indicative of “pain” and stress. Who knew? We do not know if he then voted in the subsequent poll
THE TIMES front page: “Madeleine ‘abductor’” – The white man is of “medium build”
Page 9: “’This is the man who took Madeleine away’” – The Times says the new picture bears “no resemblance to Robert Murat”. The picture has been handed to the McCanns’ detectives who are operating across Europe and North Africa
DAILY TELEGRAPH front page: “Madeleine ‘abductor’” – This is the man Jane Tanner says she saw at 9:15pm on May 3
THE INDEPENDENT and THE GUARDIAN: No Madeleine news today

1212 - Peter O
The question was “What are the parents guilty of?”
When you use words like ‘if’ and ‘may’ you are basing your theory on unsubstantiated opinion. Something criminal did happened in respect of Madeleine. She was left alone with the twins in an unlocked apartment unprotected.

I do not wish to get you started. But,We have OSHA in regard to health and safety for workers. This is a nation of laws and we have our share of ambulance chaser lawyers who will be more than happy to go after any organization who are code breakers, rule breakers or anything that looks or smells shady. ..That is the nature of the beast.

1216. Anna it is a sad cruel world. I hug my child and my friend;s kids more and more these days.
October 26th, 2007 at 10:57 pm
1217. Stig yes I know about these cases. I don’t believe the “white van” stories in front of the McCann villa at all. I think if there was a paedo in PdL or working with an informant (this is exactly how that recently caught Canadian paedo worked) that even if connections to other local and missing children from nearby areas have not yet been substantiated that children would be coming forward with stories that they had been molested or approached in an untoward manner either by the informant or the paedo themselves. This is exactly what transpired once information came out about the Canadian child rapist.

1212 are you on drugs or what mate? as far as i know it is a criminal offence to dispose of a body

It was on the sky news board.

1208. Rationalist,
My own knowledge of how government and big business work. My intuition. Certain items I have read 2 from UK bloggers and 1 from a Portuguese journalist. Along with the reasons I listed earlier. First being that they are as Judith C remarked “non-entities” there is no logical reason for the government and billionaires to be coming to their aid in droves as they have - they are ordinary doctors and have some media connections - nothing special.
For more details please see my posts 844 and 890 and I also recommend Judith C’s excellent comment #928.

You would think so but wasn’t Von Aesch living in Spain but went to Switzerland, observed Ylenia for 10 days before kidnapping and killing her?
Spanish Police are looking into 5 child disappearances in the area near where he lived. There were reports of a white van with Spanish number plates parked outside the McCanns apartment for days.
Ciprianos daughter was never found (I know about the pigs).
Who knows?

Thea, point taken. Am going to leave now. Any thought of a tiny child dumped in the sea fills me with sadness.
October 26th, 2007 at 10:52 pm
1209 - Wendy Nilsson - No not at all. I have an open mind as to what happened. I don’t believe Madeleine is dead, I believe it is all a hoax.
October 26th, 2007 at 10:52 pm
Just heard the profile pic matches the tennis coach, funny he’s the one who’s discreditting Jane Tanners ‘eye witness account’!

1200 - Wendy Nilsson - Thats easy, the only factual things the McCanns are guilty of at this moment in time are child neglect and child abandonment.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I would take issue with that. If, and I mean if, Madeleine wasn’t abducted by a stranger(s), then the whole baby listening service thing may be no more than an elaborate fabrication to focus the investigation on a very narrow time window (9.00-10.00 PM on May 3rd) when in fact nothing criminal happened in respect of Madeleine. It then becomes an alibi mechanism and nothing else.

is that all, oh well that doesn’t matter then does it. poor mcmonsters leave them alone they’ve done nothing wrong eh
October 26th, 2007 at 10:47 pm
can anyone tell me if they have ever seen madeleine before she was 2 years old? All the press photographs are of her aged 2 upwards. Maybe her real parents have her.
October 26th, 2007 at 10:45 pm

Does the child abandonment issue convince you that they are guilty or manslaughter?
October 26th, 2007 at 10:45 pm
844 Thea Sorry if someone has asked this…just got in and catching up…What role did this high ranking official person play in this drama, in your opinion? On what information do you base this on?

Other than little white lies, the only major one I told was that I had quit smoking to get my kids off my back. I let them believe I had quit for about 3 weeks then got caught. When they said they were disappointed with me, it made me feel really small.
