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

In the USA, parody is protected by the law. We could definitely have a bumper sticker like that here without any trouble.

Wanderer, well, no sense getting upset with him for mindhandling us. He’s counting one people to say, “Yes, of course, it’s not fair to criticize her today for crying when yesterday we criticized her for not crying”
Are you DeeDee?
October 27th, 2007 at 4:57 am
an observer: that’s mostly paranoia.
which isn’t to say it’s not possible.

I am getting a bit annoyed at Mitchell. I understand the family sticking up for the McCanns and that sometimes what they say is coming from that family view. I don’t expect Mitchell to say anything badly about the McCanns, but with the backlash against this new interview this comment just annoys me.
“Well first you were upset with her because she wasn’t crying, now that she has, people are still upset!” (or something along those lines)
He works in PR, of course the public is going to be skeptical when it was just two days ago all of those “Give them what they want Kate (tears)”, stories were spinning about. They’ve hired a PR person because the public is skeptical and apparently needs to be mindhandled.

Just don’t go getting yourself into trouble, Andrew! Better not infringe on any of their trademarks either…
October 27th, 2007 at 4:54 am
Yah, I have to admit, I’m seriously starting to think these two are guilty.
October 27th, 2007 at 4:54 am
It wouldn’t say Madeleine McCann in boot? It could be ANY Madeleine!
You couldn’t successfully be sued for that!
Put a toy in there called Madeleine. a piece of paper witgh Madeleine written on it… anything you want! At least I havent got the REAL Madeleine in there, unlike some people (aparrently??)
October 27th, 2007 at 4:51 am
Guess who just called… yes MILKY MILKY!!!! CEREAL WOHOOOOOOO

Not the best idea, the police will come after you, the public will cry out in damnation, and the McCanns will sue. Styx will become more than a band.

Ian Huntley. I forgot just how dark that mans eye’s looked… He’s more convincing than McCann in front of the camera though.
October 27th, 2007 at 4:43 am
My Neighbour’s Brother has a sign in his volvo window “wife in boot” I said why don’t we change it to say “Madeleine in boot” My other neighbour said “oooh no”
I want to do it…

Morning Andrew. I think I’ve only seen one, I wonder if they will get more popular with all of this Save the Earth stuff?
I saw your comment about Mitchell throwing in the towel earlier, I thought that as well, but as he is working for Kennedy, I doubt he really can (as he wants the other jobs Kennedy has to offer).
Ahh, I missed the other Anorak thread (teenager story). Enjoy your breakfast!
October 27th, 2007 at 4:26 am

Hi Wanderer I haven’t seen an electric milk float since…. since i worked for the dairy!
I drove a lorry with pallet boxes, one ton at a time. Much better, none of this getting in and out with little bottles… fork lift on… drive 100 miles, fork lift off.
That’s how it should be! I didn’t even see a fridge in the morning. happy days.
(until the depot shut down)

Aww, no milk float?
October 27th, 2007 at 4:08 am
Ha ha Brandon and your Anorak love affair!! Milkman will be here pretty shortly, he’s an early riser which can be a bit annoying with his noisy diesel van
October 27th, 2007 at 4:04 am
Andrew
its 4 am
when do you expect it lol?
I’m still loading pictures
have to kip soon
husband thinks I am having an affair
October 27th, 2007 at 4:01 am
Observer
Absolutely nothing in this case suprises me now
I even respect David icke for his predictions of such crap lol
It showed me ( believed what i was told)
never really felt strongly enough to question before
but this case was an eye opener
and anorak has stopped me going mad
I could not believe “everyone” bought the story!!
and we dont lol
we are like a little animal farm revolters united
October 27th, 2007 at 4:01 am
Still waiting for that milkman… come on pal
October 27th, 2007 at 3:54 am
Yeah he gets spoilt rotten. He’s got a scrambler motorbike, a cruiser type chopper, and I’m making him a lowrider hardtail chopper, polished engine and wheels, with a diamond shape petrol tank. He’s only 10! Yeah he loves bikes, not that I would let him go on a road ever. Fields yes. Well it’s got to be done! But the best gift he gets is love from his family..McCann’s, you idiots, that’s why we’re all here because we love children, people and respect life
