Madeleine McCann: A Big Secret, Jane Tanner’s Friend And Moroccan Paedos
MADDY WATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann
SUNDAY EXPRESS front page: “MADELEINE: MY VERDICT, BY FORMER DEPUTY CHIEF CONSTABLE JOHN STALKER”
“McCANNS ARE HIDING A BIG SECRET”
These are “THE MADELEINE FILES”
Stalker takes time out from advertising burglar alarms on telly to tell us: “I have watched the investigation into the Madeleine McCann case drag out for six months. One thing above all worries me: Why have the McCanns and the seven other members of their group – the Tapas Nine – remained so silent?”
Is he saying..?
“I don’t believe for one minute that Kate and Gerry McCann or their friends are capable or guilty of having murdered the four-year-old. My gut instinct is that some big secret is probably being covered up”
A retired copper’s copper’s instinct is now front-page news. Such is weight of evidence
So who dunnit?
MAIL ON SUNDAY: “McCanns face agonising wait to clear their names”
Kate and Gerry CMCann could be made to wait up to a year to see details of the Portuguese police case against them
Carlos Anjos, chairman of the Union of Portuguese Detectives, says of the drawing released by the McCanns of the man seen by their friend Jane Tanner: “It’s a simple cartoon that anyone could come up with. It’s no e-fit nor does it have anyone’s approval. This simply does not exist.”
SUNDAY MIRROR: “I SAW HIM TAKE HER”
“Jane Tanner is haunted by the image of a man ‘striding urgently’ away from the McCanns’ apartment with a barefooted child slumped in his arms”
She tells a friend: “I never in a million years would have imagined that it was Maddie being carried away. The first thing that raced into my head after finding out she was missing was this person I’d seen”
Says Jane Tanner’s unnamed friend: “It was about 9.15pm when Jane saw the man. She said that although he looked a bit odd and the child he was carrying had bare feet on a cold night, she never in a million years thought it could have been Maddie. You see a lot of people taking children to and from a nearby creche around there…
“Suddenly this man scoots across in front of her with the child, which she thinks is a bit strange because the child was in pyjamas and had no shoes or socks on. He wasn’t running, he wasn’t walking, but he was striding. It was like an urgent walk”
Then, says Jane Tanner’s unnamed friend:
“Jane finished her meal and went up to the apartment straight away to see her daughter. Around 10 or 15 minutes later, Kate discovered that Madeleine was gone.
“Jane heard shouting outside…The first thing that came into Jane’s head was this person she’d seen. She felt complete horror. Kate was screaming ‘She’s gone, she’s gone’ and there was a huge panic”
What Kate was screaming…
NEWS OF THE WORLD: “MADDIE SNATCHED TO ORDER – Detectives claim it was paedo plot”
“Today we sensationally reveal the renowned Spanish Metodo 3 detective agency—hired by parents Kate and Gerry—believe the four-year-old was targeted after a tip-off from INSIDE their Portuguese holiday complex”
Paedos!
“Distraught Kate and Gerry McCann are coming to terms with the sickening thought that missing daughter Maddie is in the hands of a gang of Moroccan paedophiles.” Madeleine was “spirited away to feed North Africa’s sick child sex industry”
The paper “has also discovered the private investigators now believe the kidnapper:
* POUNCED after being TIPPED OFF by an insider at the resort that a young blonde Western girl was there,
* SPIED on the family for days plotting their movements and waiting for the right moment,
* SNATCHED Maddie in a tight eight-minute window of opportunity,
* PASSED her to a paedophile network in Morocco where she has been sold on to other pervert gangs”
Metodo 3 managing director Francisco Marco, says: “I’m certain Madeleine was kidnapped. And I’m also sure her parents had nothing to do with her disappearance. My own view is the most likely place to find her is Morocco. We’re working very hard on all information indicating that. But I stress that we are following up EVERYTHING”
When you are being paid, it’s best to be professional and check and recheck every fact; best not to investigate your employees
DAILY STAR ON SUNDAY front page: “MADDIE – Cops fit panic buttons in the McCanns’ home”
A picture of Gerry McCann on first glance throwing a child onto a skip; on second look, pushing a child on a swing
MADDIE: THE DEATH THREATS - “Heart specialist Gerry” and “GP Kate” have an a alarm fitted
Gerry is returning to work on Thursday and Kate “will be alone in the house with two-year old twins Sean and Amelie”. Or else with her parents, sister and media team, while paparazzi and hacks stand around the front and back of the house
SUNDAY PEOPLE: “COPS KEEP FILES FROM McCANNS”
“Agonisingly for the couple, it could be 15 YEARS before the prosecution case is ‘archived’”
SUNDAY TIMES: “McCann friend is certain she saw abduction”
Jane Tanner sees. “When she was formally interviewed by police at 3am that night, Tanner realised that the pyjamas on the child she had seen were an exact match with Madeleine’s”
SCOTLAND ON SUNDAY: “Crying shame to see McCanns judged with poison not pity”
“So, at last, she wept. But the tears of a bereft mother did not impress the hard-hearted and nasty-minded, who had already condemned Kate McCann and her husband Gerry. For them, her breakdown on TV last week was too little, too late - and was it stage-managed?”
OBSERVER: “It is not only the Madeleine McCann case that highlights the perils of exotic holidays”
“The case of ‘Marco’ is as big in Germany as ‘Madeleine’ is here. Yet we hear virtually nothing of it, even though the key to this mystery lies in Britain
“Marco Weiss, 17, has languished without trial since April in a Turkish prison cell crammed with 30 inmates after allegedly sexually assaulting a 13-year-old English girl, ‘Charlotte M’. And while his case will hardly tug at British heartstrings like the missing English child has, it shows how criminal cases can provoke international fissure”

The McCann’s cirtainly got a lot of mussel, it is a shame they did not use that amount of resolve to care for their kids and protect them. But having said that, I don’t trust a word any of the McCann’s says. Much like most people I have spoken to, there is something that does not add up about them, using the possible death or kidnapped person to turn into a money spinning propaganda jet set extravganza, chat show publicity stunt is not a greiving parents behaviour.
November 1st, 2007 at 3:01 pm
Only a question in this all case, do the Mccans think that the Portuguese people are stupid or that they don’t read mystery books?
Greetings.

I wonder what all the people who sent money to the Maddy fund thought of to-days 30.10.07
news as below………
Madeleine fund used to pay mortgage
The parents of missing Madeleine McCann have used some of the money from the campaign to find her to pay their mortgage, it has emerged.
Mr and Mrs McCann’s spokesman confirmed that money sent to help their efforts to find their missing daughter had been used for their housing costs.
So 2 persons both in the top income bracket in Britain tap money, no doubt some sent in by pensioners etc ,for their own use
How Charming, no doubt Clarence Mitchell will now be on overtime finding some good press for this, he is smooth afterall,
Poster no 14,Matt…I think your question is answered,contributions have not stopped ,just been tapped off by the sound of it ,the more you hear the more sorry I feel for poor little Maddy

I’ve asked this before without success, but I’ll try again:
Does anyone know PRECISELY WHERE GERRY & WILKINS were talking?
Tinsel gave a link to websleuths.com suggesting the spot was identified on a map posted there, but I couldn’t find any such map (I did however find 2 wildly different, both incorrect, plans of apartment 5a!).
I’ve assumed it was the entrance to the alley leading from the road beside the McCann’s apartment to the swimming-pool & tapas bar, but I recently began to wonder whether it might actually have been the ‘front’ alley by the parking lot & O’Brien’s hire car.
I still think it was probably the ‘back’ alley on the swimming-pool side, and that, if the McCann timeframe for Maddie’s ‘disappearance’ is roughly right, it might have been Gerry’s way of stopping Wilkins bumping into Tanner on the other side of the apartment - as, say, she returned from putting the body in the car after it was passed out of the kids’ bedroom window by Gerry.
If, however, it was the entrance to the ‘front’ alley, and Gerry like O’Brien and Tanner used the ‘front’ door rather than patio windows to enter and leave the apartment, this would make the McCann abduction timeframe just about impossible: the abductors would have about 2 minutes between Gerry’s leaving to return to the bar, and Oldfield & O’Brien leaving the bar for the apartment - Oldfield, in fact, leaving to check on the apartment (without entering) that Gerry had just been standing outside.
Funny… by the time I get to this point in my less frequent occasional posts here, I always feel - what’s the point of even discussing the details? Just bang them up and throw away the key.
And I think: just how mentally challenged do true believers have to be to ’see no evidence’ of a cover-up, and no problem with the abduction scenario?
Anyway, sorry to interrupt the chat - if anyone has the answer to the question, I’ll return in a couple of hours and search the thread.

Katiepoos is NOT suicidal then.
Well if all the other tosh from McSpinCity is anything to go by we take the opposite to be true.
Oh goody - what fun - how will she do it? Big spoon of Calpol Heavy?

I’d like to know if there’s anything potentially suspicious about them booking the holiday. It appears that the apartment is perfectly located for the cover up plan. To both see but not really from the bar/restaurant….Easy access for a supposed abductor out of view of the bar/restaurant………..Could this specific apartment have been selected for a purpose??? Did they specifically request this apartment? Is it possible to do this? Could a ‘local’ have suggested this apartment? Any thoughts? Does anyone know if any/many of the other apartments would be so ‘convenient’ for abduction?
October 29th, 2007 at 8:50 am
Everybody here is Pro-Madeleine here… but 10 questions that the Sfinx made remain unanswered:
1 - Why Pro-McConns would you think that her parent’s actions helped finding her or helped grabbing and holding clues that would take towards the direction of finding out what happened to Maddie?
2 - My concerns though, is for the fact that it seems that her parent’s movements took towards to confusion and not to clarify. Her parent’s friends did the same. So, why??? Why???
3 - Why would you destroy evidencies? Why wouldn’t you put all your potential effort to grab, hold and analyse clues as you put when you felt in dangerous of being imprisioned? Why you refuse to answer crucial questions?
4 - If you say that was an abdution, then… Why would you destroy evidencies?
5 - If you say that was an abduction, then… Why wouldn’t you put all your potential effort to grab, hold and analyze clues as you put when you felt in dangerous of being imprisioned?
6 - If you say that was an abdution, then… Why did you refused to answer crucial questions if they would help to clarify?
7 - If you say that was an abdution, then… Why only after you both were made “arguidos” you decided to move all the incredible powers and influencies towards this case not in direction of solving the case but in direction of explaining the inexplicable?
8 - If you say that was an abdution, then… Why aren’t you, taking your own the computer, diary, cuddle cat, car, etc to the police investigators?
(Ok you could say you don’t trust the Portuguese police but there are means of leaving under a Judge protection you evidencies with the English police.)
9 - If you say that was an abdution, then… Why don’t you with bravery disregard the Portuguese secrecy law to give the public the maximun of information towards findind Madeleine?
10 -If you say that was an abduction, then… Why you now, only now, you use your auntie and friends to transcend the secrecy of the Portuguese law for coming up with explanations just with the intuit of saving your backs?
11 - If you think that was an abduction, then… Why you didn’t transcend the Portuguese secrecy law and came up public with everything you knew?
(That would have made much more good to your image than all the effort your PR are doing now because that would be seen desperate mother instinct and the prison would be worth it!
And the end justifies the means. We all would forgive you for surpassing the Portuguese law!)
Decipher me or I’ll devour you!

Of course, the entirely innocent explanation about the probably mistranslated “moving body in concrete” thing is that Gerry was in fact describing the food at the Tapas Bar!

“WE NEVER GAVE THEM SEDATIVES, OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT…” SAID GERRY.
“DIPHENHYDRAMINE IS NOT A SEDATIVE…” CLARENCE MITCHELL WILL ONE DAY SAY.

Logic Says:
Hideki 220
“Thank you for that. I hadn’t realised that this formulation had come onto the market. It was just Calpol containing paracetamol when my children were small and I gave it only VERY VERY rarely as paracetamol is not something that should be taken willy nilly.”
The other (possibly crucial) point regarding the McCanns’ admission that they used CALPOL (they said that this “was never a secret”) is that this admission came in response to the (leaked) forensic results that showed diphenhydramine in blood believed to be Madeleine’s.
So the McCanns were as usual proffering an “innocent explanation” for this (which, incidentally, IMO lends credence to the veracity of the leaked forensic results). They were saying that any diphenhydramine must have come from giving the children CALPOL.
Therefore, it is simply not possible that they were referring to the plain CALPOL product, which as you pointed out only contains paracetamol — but rather to the product CALPOL NIGHT, which contains both paracetamol AND diphenhydramine.
McCann supporters have emphasized that the admission of using Calpol means nothing because paracetamol has no sedative action. This is completely disingenuous and ignores the context and intent of the McCann admissions.
Now Stig is adding that CALPOL NIGHT was not available in UK/Europe at that time. If this is true, it would just mean that the McCanns are once again stuck in the web of their own deceit, because the use of CALPOL could not then be an innocent explanation for diphenhydramine found in the blood.
If they did use CALPOL NIGHT for its sedative properties, that alone should result in their dismissal as doctors. Of course, it is highly likely that the diphenhydramine in Madeleine’s blood did NOT come from Calpol Night, but rather from a pill or injection.
Again, the characteristics of diphenhydramine overdose are delirium and hallucination, and there are many accounts by recreational users. I doubt there is information on the effect upon toddlers’ perception, etc. — but recreational dosages of diphenhydramine for adults begin at only slightly more than twice the USA maximum recommended dosage.
And one final note on the McCanns’ endless spinning… when Gerry is emphatic that they did not give Madeleine sedatives, he is playing a semantic card here. Diphenhydramine is not categorized as a sedative drug, but it has a sedative action. And if the tests done by the McCanns ONLY included actual sedatives, they might not even have tested for diphenhydramine, and then announced that the results were negative for sedatives, “proving” that they did not sedate the children.
McCann deceit and deception is so dense that often it appears to me that there is NOTHING BUT DECEIT from them.
No wonder 70-80% of people think they are lying. It is strange that 20-30% either believe them or are not sure. When all the McCann statements are carefully examined, I doubt that even 5% of people would think they are credible.

Edit… dictionary says a “movil” is not a “moving body”, but a mobile phone!
And “in concrete” here means “to be exact” or “precicely”.
Edit….
++++++++++++++++
Thanks.. would also be possible that something of the ‘context’ was lost in two way translation? I,e, Gerry would have originally typed in English, which for this report the alleged contents are translated to Spanish, and we’re now trying to translate that Spanish report back to English!

Edit…. Babel fish translation was just babble.Edit….
It seemed to me to say: Police have a suspicious photo of Gerry.
+++++++++++++++++++
That’s pretty much how I read it… I don’t see that the picture itself is ‘suspect’? Possibly the contents of a text message might be, but as ‘we can’t see the content of that message, it’s just a another leaked rumour from a ‘source’ close to someones nether regions?
Is there anything about the other chap in the picture? i.e. Should he be there at that particular date and time – does his presence conflict with witness statements?
And, why does this picture also appear on Gerry’s blog sight if it is allegedly suspicious in some way? Unless of course Gerry has posted the ‘innocent explanation’ for the picture on his blog?
Just complete guess work here people, so no running off with ‘facts’!
Maybe if someone who speaks Spanish could watch the video report and post a translation, that may make it clearer what the accusations, if any, are?

OK, so the thing about a “manipulating a moving body in concrete” is odd, but doesn’t seem to lead anywhere or imply anything?
—————————–
Sorry, but the dictionary says a “movil” is not a “moving body”, but a mobile phone!
And “in concrete” here means “to be exact” or “precicely”.
So McCann was using a mobile phone or - to be more exact - typing a text message.
And not dumping a “moving body” into concerete.

Batman and Judith C,
I have really stopped paying attention to :
sedated or not.
negligent or not.
lying or not.
These are not important right now.
What is important is what lies behind this.
I think Judith made a point that if it was related to Gordon Brown, then Cameron would simply use it to his benefit.
That is if you believe that there are actually two separate parties.
In the States the Republicans and Democrats are actually different puppets, same puppet masters.
I think the same applies in Britain.
Forgive me for bringing other forces in but it is a well known fact by journalist who investigate things fearlessly that Israel is intent on attacking Iran.
They need Britain and America to send their kids to die in this war on their behalf.
Mossad is simply brilliant at collecting blackmail information.
Maybe brilliant enough to start a war.

October 29th, 2007 at 5:00 am
If a person fears that they (or someone else they know involved with a crime) was possible seen, then may tell police they themselves saw someone (but, of course, the description is opposite of them). So , if a real witness that night remembers seeing a person carting off what appears to be a dead child, they might buy into the new drawing and relate that the person indeed had long dark hair (which looks like none of the Tapas 9). Or it they claim, the suspicious person look quite like friend of the Mccann’s, at least Tanner’s description will be on record to discredit others.

I emailed George Galloway about this case. Here is my email and answer from George.
Hi George,
Sent a mail to your radio show but maybe you missed it. I hope you have not been frightened off the subject. What is going on in the Madeleine McCann case?
It, from the outside, looks like a huge cover up. Too many big players involved. Can you ask the right questions in the house to allay many peoples fears that justice is being manipulated by the ‘big brothers’? Or are you not allowed to interfere either?
Something funny is going on that needs to be discovered? No or limited press coverage. The PM ringing suspects directly and appointment of a covernment man for PR to name a few. It’s not right George and I trust as champion of the people you will investigate these going ons?The Portuguese people have been greatly slandered to save whos arse I wonder?
Love your show on talksport,
Cheers, Willo. (expat in New Zealand)
Reply:
I don’t think anything can or should be done until the police concludetheir investigation. There is too much speculation already.
George.

782 Kris — The real Uta Hagen was indeed an actress and an esteemed acting teacher. I took Hagen’s name for this blogsite — is that what Anorak is? — because I’ve always wanted to be an actress.
784 — Right back at you, Bob.
Where (generally) do you two live? I’m in the USA, East Coast. I’m the only American I know personally who is obsessed with the Madeleine McCann case. I don’t know whether to be grateful that Anorak exists…or resentful that it’s taken over my life!
