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

You believe the DNA in the M’s apartment to be true I have no doubt.
Why don’t you just say ‘your keeping an open mind’?
Infact don’t bother answering cos I’ll tell you why. You think because they left their tots on their own their guilty. End of.

926 Garth, I believe you are well aware of my views of the whole sick scenario by now?
October 26th, 2007 at 8:01 pm
926 Garth
Maybe I’m not very observant but, if I saw a man carrying a child and placed no importance on it at that moment, I doubt I’d have a clue as to what he was wearing.

The consensus in here is that if you spread enough malicious rumour and innuendo, and it gets repeated and repeated as though it were fact, the ’shit will stick’. Oh, and that the moon is made of cheese.

921. dave s,
Funny you should mention knitting. In between my comments I’m knitting Kate a gold matte lamé bustier to give her a ‘fuller’ bosom and Gerry a matching cock ring also to create a ‘fuller’ affect.
What are you knitting?

Stevo: “To use your directions, I’d say that on looking out of the apartments towards the car park, you would turn right until you hit the street corner at the McCann apartment and make another right and go down the hill to Ocean Club.”
I appreciate you trying to help, but that is only relevant to Jane as she went around the front. Gerry, most likely, went in from the back. Also, when leaving the Tapas bar, they still would have been going in the same direction, but Gerry would have stopped at the stairs going up to his patio, while Jane would have kept going until she rounded the front of the McCanns apartment. The only way I don’t see that happening is if Jane did go down the alleyway (the one between the pool area and the McCanns apartment) and went off into another alley to end up at her apartment. So that is why I was confused by coolandcalm saying that they would start off going in different directions. I don’t see how that is possible unless Jane went out of her way.

—————————
You claim that the McCanns are being protected because to indict them would be to indict others who are in the higher echelons of business, or government, or other privileged areas. Yes I agree.I’ve said on this forum many times before that one has to look at the bigger picture to understand this unprecedented level of support and obfuscation that has been accorded to the McCanns and the situation surrounding them.
High level diplomats in Portugal have resigned since the McCanns burst on the scene, references have been made in newspapers to diplomats, judges, and so on, in Portugal itself, being part of a paedophile set up..wasn’t a high level diplomat whisked away from the dinner table on the night of the incident? Links have been made to Gordon Brown via his brother (a director of EDF who are involved in the nuclear industry, COMARE (Mr. McC is on the board and advises on nuclear issues) —”favours pulled in” as a McCann relative put it —-. So the reasons for this intervention to protect and guard the McCanns could be on account of deviant behaviour in high places and/or business and/or Gordie’s image and election prospects. I can’t say re-election because no-one elected the tosser in the first place.
Why would our Chancellor (at the time) now PM, and the Foreign Secretary, and the Home Secretary, and the rich list and all bother to involve themselves so closely with a couple of nonentities like the McCanns if not to protect themselves and hide something? They just wouldn’t. One thing to watch out for is someone crucial to blowing the gaffe being killed, like David Kelly and the Iraq business. Now who could that be? Who has put their head sufficiently above the parapet to get it blown off? Me! A lot of others on this forum! But, we don’t count do we? So….who?
Please anyone who reads this post, don’t challenge me to produce evidence of what I’ve repeated (from reading it on this forum or from reading the only sources we all have). I don’t have links but if you cared to go through the archive here on Anorak you will find them because others have been more meticulous than I in keeping, it seems, absolutely everything that has been shown and printed on this case. I do have a number of links to videos though..for what it’s worth.

My son is going tonight I think as he’s the horror fan. I still flinch when I watch Hostel. I want to see Gone Baby Gone. Might go see that tonight instead.

There are numerous apartments at the Mark Warner resort. It was peak holiday season. There were probably 100 or more guests at that particular time. How come Tanner is the ONLY one who saw this guy carrying a child away? And how do you remember such detail if you actually placed no importance on the happening at the time?
It is just beyond belief!
Julie
And do you not think murdering their own daughter and disposing of her body in the back of a hired car 25 days later and also having friends involved in a cover up is beyond belief?
Infact if you think about it with an unbiased approach you’ll find the latter to be slightly more unbelieving?
October 26th, 2007 at 7:58 pm
904 matty
No problem. Like I said, Jane Tanners entry in there is history. I wonder if they removed it because they knew people like us were looking at the info.
October 26th, 2007 at 7:57 pm
So the consensus here at the moment is that the McCanns are behind the story that Madeleine’s DNA was found in Murat’s house?
October 26th, 2007 at 7:57 pm
914. Julie the 1st,
It’s okay I was joking around.
But neither am I. Have you never travelled to Western Europe? Peak season is similar or exact to US: Mid-June through early September. I guess you would be from a non-Western country just that I haven’t met very many here on Anorak.
October 26th, 2007 at 7:56 pm
918 - Hi Stevo - welcome to share the wine, but no liar liar lol, cant handle that new jim mccann fella lol……off to see saw 1v tomorrow night, i love the scary stuff
October 26th, 2007 at 7:56 pm
902 Rest
Because that would suggest that someone other than the McCanns’ were guilty of Madeleine’s disappearance.
And who in here would want that? There would no excuse for a public hanging then and most of the posters in here want to catch up on their knitting.

Cheers. I hope it clarifies things. I still don’t understand coolandcalm’s explanations.
October 26th, 2007 at 7:55 pm
Rest, I believe that it is a story that was “fed” to certain media outlets via anonymous persons who have extremely ludicrous beliefs!
October 26th, 2007 at 7:55 pm

Only if you’re sharing the wine with me!!!
Hope you’re not watching that remake of Liar Liar.
October 26th, 2007 at 7:54 pm
910. Spinning happens usually from Camp McCann courtesy of Mitchell (or some other high level government official working behind the scenes) who pulls his massive media strings. But it can also originate from PJ or Portuguese government officials.
October 26th, 2007 at 7:54 pm
908 Julie(the first) I don’t know if I believe it either, but I’m surprised there isn’t more talk about it

The whole of American society is run on everyone obtaining a license to do anything. In the UK if I want to do something I don’t have to be licensed to do it. In the UK if I want to work on my house, I just do it. I don’t need a “permit” to do so. I gave you several professional license examples and a car license because most people can relate to it. But add all kinds of other licenses and permits to do things and that is a typically American system.
I see many dyslexic type spellings in the USA and have noticed this for 25 years. My observation is not saying Americans are no good or they are useless and not all rocket scientists. I will say that the American education/licensing for professions/testing systems are below the standard in the UK and Germany. I know because I’ve lived and been involved in all three. And certainly, illiteracy and numeracy are poor in the USA. It’s an observation…not a criticism. If you want me to reel off good things about the USA I can do so.

Thea, I am not from that side of the world!
October 26th, 2007 at 7:53 pm
891 — Thea — “Gerry and Kate’s carerrs and connections - although impressive - do not have the prestige or makings of such high level involvement. ”
I agree.
“There is a missing factor to this story…another person…involved…this person…removed from PdL before the police arrived.” Ok, this would explain the high level invovlement, which we agree the McCanns logically be getting beyond the first month or so.
Does anybody out there have any information that would support Thea’s interesting theory that there is a powerful person who was invovled in Madeleine’s disappearance and who is being protected?
October 26th, 2007 at 7:53 pm
evening all - any new developements? or shall i crack open a bottle of wine and put feet up and watch a dvd?
October 26th, 2007 at 7:53 pm
908. Julie the First you are of sound mind but need to investigate travel dates and peak times for Portugal.
(First week of May is not peak season.)

“19. When once men recognize, both in private and in public life, that Christ is King, society will at last receive the great blessings of real liberty, well-ordered discipline, peace and harmony.”

Until this happens, men are going to continue to crack up and do things they ordinarily would not do.
