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

181 Yes I may indeed be a bufoon.
But what is Garth? Is he a Mccann?
Why is he so pro-Mccann?
He will not explain the blind faith he has in these fraudsters (yep, Im beginning to think thats just what they are, though initially giving htem the benefit of the doubt - though always believing them to be neglectful and suspect due tot he way they kept saying ‘incredibly loving’!

Edit…. The head of the PJ are now looking back into the origonal abduction theory. But its not just a theory is it? Its what happened. About bloody time.
+++++++++++++++
Sounds like the PJ are leaving ‘no stone unturned’ as they conduct their investigation into what happened to Madeleine
October 30th, 2007 at 11:43 am
Just had a look in Google and I’ve found this on the Antena 3 TV page. It’s in Spanish but what it basically says is that Método 3 has located a total of 23 children in the past and has never failed in a disappearance case. It also says that Maddie is definitely alive because the defect in her eye has been seen.
http://tinyurl.com/3yxgps
Now, if this is the case, why haven’t they found her yet and, above all, why are they announcing it?

Re portuguese padeo on crimewatch
will any of the tappas9 remember him?
matty thanks for link
Salomen — Hope you are wrong . I still think PJs have something up their sleeve. Something small but damning if linked with one more piece.
If Mc Canns werent involved why are they so worried about clearing their name?
Why keep telling the abductors that they are on to them?
are they not scared they will kill her first?
Are there parents on the waiting list at madeleines school, still waiting?

Our Foundation is private. It does not get the least subsidy and is financed by the volunteers fighting paeodophile ntworks. We made a biometrical analysis that proved that Bouchra, double of Madeleine, was not the double on the picture taken by the Spanish tourist, what you can find there: http://www.droitfondamental.eu/06-McCann-biometrie_madeleine_bouchra-GB.htm.
The McCanns didn’t even thank us for our trouble, but we do not work to be thanked: just to dismantle networks. Should this analysis have helped finding the American little girl, the reward is more than we could dream.
This analysis shows that even Interpol had forgotten to check a very important point, meaning that even international police with pots of money and means is far from the perfection people imagine.

Unfortunately, your post fits with facts. They could all have looked for a good (for everybody) way out, for example, The Rifts mountains, that is, in the middle of nowhere… Madeleine will be ever alive in the hearts of their parents and the public opinion. Living with another family, but happy in that wild and extreme lands. Poor parents!

LEGALLY BINDING ????????????????????????????????????
This is a supposed abduction. What kind of a place do you come from where crimes are covered by legal protection.
October 30th, 2007 at 11:41 am
Ferdinand - are you being ironic?
Are you actually saying that a deal to sell a child is “legally binding”.
I do apologise if you are being ironic (I read so many things in this forum that I’m never sure anymore).
If you’re not being ironic and you actually think that there is a legally binding contract established between an abductor and someone else, then I think you should seek medical assistance (please don’t take offence - but i really think you should).

You may be correct, Ian indeed may be buffoon – Can’t say I know enough about him to decide.
As you didn’t comment on the content of his post, does that mean you agree with it?

I’m not grumpy Toni my love - I just get so pissed off with this vile couple and they way they are manipulating everything and everybody.
I would see these people rot in hell before I would offer them even a kind word - yes fuck it I am grumpy.

“What kind of crazy kidnapper sells a european child to Rif mountian berbers when the reward stands at 2.5 million sterling?”
He wouldn’t have known that there would be a reward of 2.5 million. If the deal was prearranged for a fixed price then it would be legally binding.

He said that they were sure that to the best of their knowledge, assuming that their friends checked properly…..
But I really need to find the exact words, it was enough to get Fiona to hook into it.
October 30th, 2007 at 11:33 am
Jacqueline Without being an expert…the berber child’s eyes are closer together, even with the blurry image, it seemed doubtful to me that it was Madeleine….A friend of mine has a house on the coast in a tiny village south of Agadir, mainly Berber… I’ve travelled through Morocco and stayed there…although I don’t know the Rif mountains….I find it extremely unlikely that you could introduce a 4 year old blonde English girl into the community, no questions asked…If ? she is in Morocco, I imagine that she would be well hidden…..these communities a very small, nothing much happens, they would notice surely, if a foreign child suddenly appeared on the scene even with a 60 year old Arabic-looking woman….
October 30th, 2007 at 11:32 am
Brandon flowers - i didn’t see it i’m afraid. But someone has raised this question before about British having a paedo register (as they like to point out to their european neighbours), but then british police doesn’t communicate to other police forces whenever these known paedos go abroad (that’s not very helpful is it????).
But you can rest assured that many more information like this will come out to discredit the portuguese investigation and particularly the suggestion that the parents had something to do with it.
Unfortunately, what will happen is that the portuguese will be afraid of the negative impact in their tourism figures, and will finally admit that Madeleine was abducted and taken away to Morocco. This is always the most elegant way out for the PJ to drop the case against the parents and comfortably put the case to interpol as another of those thousands of cases of missing children (only in Britain they are more than 500 at the moment).
In the end, the McCanns will be happy because they’re on the clear, the portuguese will come out with an incompetent PJ, but still with intact tourism revenues… and most importantly, the great british public and the great british media have once again prevailed and won the battle against those nasty foreigners who are blaming the good britons of being negligent parents.
That’s all - everyone looks good in the final picture except Madeleine, but what does it matter? This was never about MAdeleine anyway.

Exactly! This is what the Spanish agency is doing: offer money for vague informations.
I red a some days ago, don’t know where, that police of Morocco arrested two o three “detectives” that were offering money to the employees of a gasoline station for them to say they had seen a blonde girl with a 60 years woman

75. Louise,
We’ve taught our 3 year old that things and possessions are not important because can easily be replaced. We have taught him that life is precious and to respect himself and others. This includes plants and animals. He knows the difference between an inanimate object and a living breathing thing of life. And he knows to love, value and respect living things because they are each unique and if lost or stolen or if they die cannot be substituted.
I would not think twice to sell our current home if we had another child who became ill or was kidnapped. I would not think twice to give up my current lifestyle so that I did not have to ger others for money. I would not think it normal to prostitute my missinig child so that I can continue living a particular lifestyle. I think your suggestion is misguided. And if you don’t see my perspective than there is nothing else to be said. Except that……..
quite simply: The McCanns are whores.
October 30th, 2007 at 11:26 am
Come on Tony Parsons there must a good line including goat and cous cous eating you can apply to the Moroccan ambassador to the UK.

Morning all
See this comment from an Daily Express’ reader (female)
Is that the best they can come up with?
What is her name?
Who are her family?
How much was paid?
How old is she? EXACTLY?
Where was she snatched from?
What’s her nationality? EXACTLY not PROBABLY?
Who was responsible?
Have they been brought to justice?
Was the child reunited with her real family?
Where are the pictures?
Toda, all comments pubished by the Express are antiMccann… good news

When will the tabloids start a Boycott Morocco campaign?
October 30th, 2007 at 11:24 am
So - £300,000 of the fund has been spent already. Setting aside the £4000 mortgage theft - what has the rest been spent on?
Are they obliged to publish financial information? Or did their clever manipulation of the registration of charities mean they can keep it hidden from the public.
October 30th, 2007 at 11:23 am
Jaqueline- the photo they are using of Madeleine to do the comparisons is an old photo off when she was a toddler.
October 30th, 2007 at 11:22 am
I am beginning to think that the whole business of K and G wanting to change careers (quite early on in the investigation as well) may have been so that they could keep the Fund for themselves for their future “work”, with the stupid public continuing to donate. I think the money business has been one of the things that has damned them most of all with the sceptics.
