Madeleine McCann: The Tapas 7 Speak, Blonde Children In Morocco And Hashish
MADDY WATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann
THE SUN front page: “McCANN FRIENDS HIT BACK – FURY OF TAPAS 7. Pals: there is NO pact”
Say the McCanns dining party: “The police told us not to discuss our statement. We’ve always tried to honour this. We wish to state there is categorically no so-called pact of silence – or indeed anything secretive between us. Just the desire to assist the search. It is frustrating that the facts we have done as we were asked is till being looked upon as suspicious”
“COPS IN WINDOW PROBE” – Paolo Rebelo is looking at the window of the McCanns’ holiday apartment. “is this how evil Maddie snatcher struck?”
Four pictures:
1. “Rebelo pushes window
2. Net curtains rustle in breeze as the window swings open
3. Detective leans in
4. Team confer about possible escape route”
“Fund paid mortgage” – Some of the £1million Madeleine McCann “fighting fun”
DAILY MIRROR front page: “NOW THEY BELIVE US – Police finally accept Madeleine was snatched”
Portuguese police are looking at possibilities
Says a friend of the McCanns: “At last, after all these months, Kate and Gerry’s story is being believed. They are very encouraged by the re-enactment of Madeleine’s abduction and the police now accept their version of events”
A policeman climbs through a window. He passes out a “large bundle”
“MADDY ‘SPOTTED 10 TIMES IN MOROCCO’” – Says private detective Francisco Marco: “Several unconnected people have told us of the same girl with the same woman. She has shorter hair than Madeleine. But everything else matches”. Like her name?
“MORTGAGE FUND FURY” – Says Clarence Mitchell: “The fund exists to help them when living costs became difficult”
DAILY EXPRESS front page: “MADELEINE – McCANNS USE FUNDS TO PAY MORTGAGE” – Two mortgage payments on their “£600,000” home
The Express leads with picture of Gerry McCann playing golf. Inset is a picture of Gerry McCann on a bicycle
“We’ve found a kidnapped blonde girl, but it’s not her” – A blonde girl in Morocco. She can speak English. She must have been kidnapped. Right?
Says Francisco Marco: “Blonde children are a valuable commodity in North Africa. They can be sold for huge sums and give prestige to families who buy them”
DAILY MAIL front page: “MADDIE FUND PAYS McCANNS’ MORTGAGE” – Mortgage repayments on their “£500,000” home. (How long before the Express and Mail start a heated debate on the value of the McCanns home and how that value has been affected by the story?)
Page 4: “Is she in the mountains? Investigators scour Morocco in the search for Madeleine”
Says the Mail: “In an extraordinary coincidence the detectives are reported to have already found an English-speaking blonde girl of about Madeleine’s age living with a local family”
How many more blonde children are in Morocco? And can we find them all?
DAILY STAR front page: “Maddie ‘alive in drug den’”
Page 7: “MADDIE’S IN MOROCCAN MOUNTAINS – Ten sightings with rich Arab”
Says Francisco Marco PI of the woman with the blonde child found in the Rif mountains: “My feeling is this woman is some sort of carer who is working on behalf of other people”
Says an “insider”: “It’s a very secretive country and the Rif mountains enjoy official protection because of the importance of the hashish production”
“McCanns in the clear – Portuguese police now believe Madeline was kidnapped”
THE TIMES page 13: “Police return to holiday apartment in attempt to solve Madeleine mystery”
Paulo Rebelo is inside the apartment. He walks to the beach. He passes Sergey Malinka’s home. He is on a road leading to the N125 main road
In Morocco, a 60-year-old woman is seen with a blonde child
“Funds for search used to pay mortgage on McCanns’ house” – The McCanns’ home is worth “460,000”
THE TELEGRAPH front page: “Police re-enact Madeleine night”
Page 17: Paulo Rebelo is at the Ocean Club. Says a source “close to the couple”: “Blonde children are a very valuable commodity in places like north Africa”
Paulo Rebelo is looking

I wish I’d been there. I’d have brought a rugby team along with me and we’d have save the plod the inconvenience of having to do the bish-bash-bosh. Nothing irritates me more than pedophiles.

There are innumerable possibilities.
The R.C. priest they got the keys to the church from just four/five hours after Madeleine disappeared, for a start
October 30th, 2007 at 10:40 pm
Anangram for Inspector Gadget
Pigs Got Decanter
(So now we know where they disappeared to)

1028 — Thx for link to fascinating interview with PJ. This guy is no dope. I am optimistic the McCanns will be broght to justice.
October 30th, 2007 at 10:39 pm
1042 Garth McCann.
I’d not bother, you really dont have the intellect to debate here.

Thanks Tony. With all the suspense we’ll take whatever crumbs are thrown.
October 30th, 2007 at 10:38 pm
1041 Uta Hagen, brianthesnail, Rosemary etc.
I just looked at the famous “last photo” again and have a query.
Would you guys say that Madeleine isn’t wearing swimwear?
It looks to me like Gerry and Amelie are but Madeleine isn’t! Her garment looks a bit long to be swimwear.

Pitty told me that in all her two hundred cases she knows for a fact that men cry more than women, mostly in the shower where their tears are not seen and their whimpers go unheard.
This is not my opinion.
October 30th, 2007 at 10:37 pm
993 Stevo asked: “How can the police suddenly that night have phone info that is incriminating?”
REPLY: On re-reading the origianl post on the other Forum, the claim is NOT, I think, that the PJ knew of that incriminatig evidence on Day 1 - as I understand it - but that they have SINCE THEN discovered something vital that was said in one ‘phone call made by the McCanns, or one of the ‘Tapas 9′, on 3rd or 4th May. The information could, for example, have come from the RECIPIENT of one of those many ‘phone calls.
I only posted it because it seemed to have an air of authenticity about it and conequently might have been of wider interest.

Stevo 1023- case in the not so distant past. A young woman travelling on public transport in the UK saw a message scribbled on a the back of a bus/ tube seat. The message said young girls ,want sex ,ring - mobile no. She had the sense to think how wrong this was. She rang the number pretending to be 12 or so and after a conversation arranged to meet. She went to the police and bish bash bosh he was caught and I think a few of his “mates ” aswell.

Is why Gerry pretend not know where is church. Is like story of Brer Rabbit, please Mr Wolf do not throw me in prickly bush. Maybe you not know that story in your country.
October 30th, 2007 at 10:35 pm
1038 brianthesnail
no, or G’s. Remember, men can cry to.
October 30th, 2007 at 10:34 pm
Pitty says it’s a well known fact that tears ducts can only produce two gallons of tears a year and once the well is dry, there ain’t anymore. So there!
This is not my opinion, just Pitty’s.

One of your answers sort of contradicts the other.
Quote
with two or more of the ‘Tapas 9′, ensured that the disposal of Madeleine’s body was so effective that they felt confident that they could challenge the PJ two months ago: “Find the body, and then charge us if you think you have any evidence”.
and yet they still might strike up a potentially incriminating conversation?
Lets just say they did drop their guard, ‘who’ do you think they would of confided to? Certainly not their family or friends as they would most certainly make themselves complicit. So who?
October 30th, 2007 at 10:34 pm
1025…Momafromthehood…OK, this is the first time I’ve ever suspected MYSELF of posting under an additional name! Everything you wrote is everything I’ve always thought.
October 30th, 2007 at 10:32 pm
987,
Avisitor,
Perhaps the PJ are still waiting for a report from the telecoms triangulation expert who was reportedly sent from Britain?
October 30th, 2007 at 10:32 pm
854 thea
“The McCanns started the name calling with their descriptions of PJ being morons.”
Do you have a link for that?
October 30th, 2007 at 10:32 pm
1013 stevo
totally agree mate and unless stiggy or garthy can show a link proving otherwise i think its probably wise to ignore any more of their nonsense. Neither of them ever answer a question with a straight answer, and neither of them ever provide a link , reason or any evidence to back up their totally ludicrous arguements of the mcmonsters innocence.
PLEASE anyone give me a link to kate uncontrollable crying etc. Sorry but i have seen no evidence of any real tears. Has anyone else?

I think the biggest clue is
” They have take her”

Second Big Clue, Gerry pretend not know where is church.
Then say “My daughter missing, I know, we get priest out of bed.”
Sorry if that sound bad, my English not too good.
October 30th, 2007 at 10:31 pm
971 — clarkeson — I don’t think Gerry McCann is sharp enough to recognize the incongurity of wrapping yourself in your Catholicism, then having a service for your daughter in an Anglican church.
October 30th, 2007 at 10:31 pm
If a father killed a child a mother would watch him swing.
If a mother killed a child, a father would protect his wife, his family, his children. Additionally, an ego-maniac would protect his own image even before the aforementioned.
He saw his future. And, the future meant burying the evidence.
October 30th, 2007 at 10:31 pm
someone said today,they wouldnt ,couldnt,be so stupid ,as to continue this act if they had done anything…….well maybe they think we are all stupid,just suppose for a moment pre-meditaion,first thing take care of portugese,over 90 percent catholic,go to church every day,meet pope,should take care of spanish as well who before 75 all catholics,the brits,they believe anything on telly ,or in papers,call the press,SKY NEWS,and just to mop up a few loose ends do a blog…..never counted on anorak

My Criminal Profiler went to the School of I know best, Harvardies, and graduated in the bottom ten, which is still higher than Sanford’s top thirty. She has glossy red hair with a purple stripe and raven black eyes and wears a long red cape swishing about knocking over lamps and valuable objects that get in her way, people too, manners is not her forte.
Pitty Brownie is one sassy lassy and she’s sitting in my Go Go Mobile right now warming the seat. More from the beach later. Go Go for now.

I just realised what THE TAPAS NINE were having
a PHEASANT NITE
How the upper class live

Seriously though…what did Gerry have to lose apart from his wife if he told the truth? What was it that made him help his wife in a cover up if she was responsible for the disappearance?

This is a very interesting interview with Ribelo. It puts alot of us anti-mccanns minds at ease knowing that the police are not distracted from their main purpose

REPLY: Who says the PJ are now investigating an abduction?
Well, the answer to that is ‘most of the British press’.
But NOT the PJ

And also to Stig:
What happened to all those stories about burglaries taking place in the complex just before May? That seems to have fallen on deaf ears.
