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

This is a bit different to the twin towers even Osama admitted he did it
October 27th, 2007 at 12:52 am
the law requires that you can leave them alone, after 3 stories, 2 sessions of peek-a-boo and an ice cream otherwise its just cruel
October 27th, 2007 at 12:51 am
How many times has Uta been after Ludwig already?
October 27th, 2007 at 12:50 am
Hey - have you lot seen the new thread left an hour ago on Anorak that an Irish teenager smoking saw Gerry talking to Wilkins - but no Jane Tanner and no Mystery man with child?
I guess that makes 2 witnesses now that can say there was no Jane and Mystery Abductor that night - Wilkins also did not see them.
And now the CRACKS begin to show!!!!
Roll up Roll up - the Circus begins!
October 27th, 2007 at 12:50 am
What a load of absolute drivel you all post. You should be ashamed of yourselves, I certainly am ashamed of all of you. Where is your consideration for all concerned, did you make the same sort of comments when the twin towers went down??? I should imagine you did!!!

Peter O and whoever else posted about this
- I disagree that the McCanns have said it is wrong to neglect children.
Edit…..
++++++++++++++++
Not I, I promise!
I completely disagree with what the McCann’s say they did in leaving the children alone every night – except their first night in PDL. It’s an appalling parenting decision, in my opinion, and that’s before you go losing one of your children!
There is some ‘debate’ about whether in fact there is any ‘criminal’ negligence involved in leaving the children alone each night. I’m not a lawyer so I’ll bow to someone who knows the legal position on this one?
And one of the more ‘sane’ explanations I’ve seen as to why they haven’t been found wringing their hands and bawling their eyes out in public and admitting they made a dreadful mistake, is because seemingly doing so might be taken as a ‘legal’ admission that they ‘knew’ there was a risk in what they were doing. This in turn would leave them open to legal neglect charges. Again here I’m not a lawyer.
And my other consistent point on all of this, particularly on the evening of 3rd May, is that just because we are told they were checking the children every 20-30 minutes, that in itself does not prove that all of the children were alive and well in their apartment. Doesn’t mean they weren’t either.

1370 — Gerry McCann is despicable. There’s not a doubt in my mind that he wouldn’t comment on whether he knows Murat because he wants people to suspect Murat.

Time for bed I think. Night all.
October 27th, 2007 at 12:49 am
He can’t have been paying close attention if he’s been reading anorak- uta hagen will be after him again!
October 27th, 2007 at 12:47 am
I bet Ludwig Bemelmans isn’t very happy about this
October 27th, 2007 at 12:47 am

October 27th, 2007 at 12:47 am
no fool, they found kate already, maddeline is still playing
October 27th, 2007 at 12:46 am
he is 35-40 years old, approximately 5’8”-5’10” (1.72-1.78m), Caucasian with southern European/Mediterranean appearance, slim build with dark hair. We hope that this picture may jog someone’s memory who may have seen this man in the Praia da Luz area on the night or days before Madeleine was abducted.

1390. I base my theories on known fact, and make opinions based on the most logical possibility.
Okay sure.

Maybe Jeremy Wilkins wanted to be the 10th
and that’s what they were talking about

Coming soon to a tabloid near you:
The Lie Detector Test man has had a nervous breakdown after interviewing Kate and Gerry for several hours.
The Lie detector Test man sobbed uncontrolably \’ I ask them to answer YES or NO to a question and each time it\’s the same thing - they say \’ I\’m not gonna um even answer that question, I mean it\’s erm ludicrous and nonsence\’
The Lie Detector Test man is said to have felt decieved by the McCons for agreeing to co-operate with the test. He is currently taking a holiday in the Algarve.
Suggestions that the pair did a lot of heavy breathing and their heartrate went faster when asked questions were today called \’ludicrous\’ by their spokewheel Clarence.
\’ The reason they sweated during the test was because they were aroused by each others presence. This is how any other \’normal\’ couple would respond.\’

i wouldnt thats how bulimia starts

1373. Icke came fro ma pretty desperate background if I recall correctly. He should know how to take it on the chin. Plus, regardless of how weird he seems he does have that new age spirituality stuff going for him so maybe he really does walk the walk and doesn’t really care what people think about him? Really got to get to the soup!

Gerry’s Blog/Diary
Day 176 - 26/10/2007
It has been a busy few days for Kate and I. We did our first interview since being made arguidos, for Spanish TV. This was very difficult for us but had one important purpose. We announced that private investigators are looking for Madeleine and that there is a dedicated ANONYMOUS telephone line for anyone who has information, which may help us to find Madeleine. The number is +34.902.300.213. We urge anyone who may have information to please call this number.
The investigators are based in Spain because we believe Madeleine is most likely to be in the Iberian Peninsula or North Africa. They have also released a sketch of an eyewitness who saw a man carrying a small child away from near the apartment on the night Madeleine disappeared. We believe this child was Madeleine. The Portuguese police have released the description of the man previously: he is 35-40 years old, approximately 5’8”-5’10” (1.72-1.78m), Caucasian with southern European/Mediterranean appearance, slim build with dark hair. We hope that this picture may jog someone’s memory who may have seen this man in the Praia da Luz area on the night or days before Madeleine was abducted. Someone else may be aware of a man matching this description who has behaved suspiciously at any time since the beginning of May.

Pilimary whats your interpretation on blog
October 27th, 2007 at 12:40 am
Has anybody seen Gerry’s updating i his blog???
I want to vomit!!!
October 27th, 2007 at 12:40 am
1376 - thea - I said I can only hazzard a guess, because I don’t know what the truth is. I have never hidden my ‘true colours’ as you put it. I base my theories on known fact, and make opinions based on the most logical possibility.
There is nothing to figure out as I am totally open.

1365. Judith C,
Yes I agree. I shouldn’t have said “talked” but instead “reveal what they know”. Not sure about the sex angle at least not the entire group. Maybe something illicit going on between the mystery person(s) who quickly left and one or two in the group? I find drugs makes more sense to me. I don’t think they’d have gone to Portugal or specifically a MW resort nor do I think they’d bring their children.
Sorry but I have to finish getting dinner ready and thought if I missed replying now I would never find your post if I searched tomorrow. I believe on Amazon.com you can have your email listed for public view on your profile or wishlist. I think mine is but I haven’t been on Amazon in awhile and will double check and let you know.
Yoyr earlier post has me wondering something more disturbing than sex between the Tapas and mystery other.
On that creepy note: have a nice night and everyone else too! Even those who luuuuv the Mcs.
October 27th, 2007 at 12:39 am
Judith C , like your posts. Goodnit all
October 27th, 2007 at 12:39 am
1377 batman…
Is it just my imagination or is the Madeleine(TM) logo based on her deformed eyes gone?
OMG he really is reading these forums!
The ludicrous McCanns really don’t understand why people are saying what they are saying about them… it is incomprehensible to them. They simply need to re-educate these people and all will be well. Truly.

1338 Judge Dread Says:
They have backed themselves into a corner by constantly changing their stories and making stupid comments. Edit…..
The one thing that can be relied upon is that with every change in their story, the hole gets deeped and getting out that much harder.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Can’t disagree with any of that.. I do hope for Madeleine’s sake, and for the many family and friends that are affected by all of this that the truth will out eventually.
