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 think I’ve cracked the eyes business - an old lady just gave me a chocolate, rolled me over and gave my tummy a rub - perhaps she was just copping a feel though.

I would say it is just a coincidence. Jacquelines website registrant is in Belgium and the findkatemccann site registrant is an anonymizing service in Arizona. Godaddy.com is touted as the worlds largest domain name registrar so a coincidence is quite likely.

No matter what the outcome British journalists (probably without exception) should have to start again on the local rags reporting WI meetings etc until they reach an acceptable level of objectivity and ability to produce reports which are not rip-offs of the first one found on a Google search.

355. Never heard anything negative about that article. Nevere heard any story which is even similar to what you’ve said. Why not google your question and see what you find. Apologies but I’m not feeling well or I would do it myself.

Good morning…I read your post from last night and I’m not ruling out pedophilia from within but I think it’s THE most controversial of all proposed theories.
I’m not sure about whether Madeleine is wearing makeup in the pictures or not. I need to look more closely to see if that’s probably the case.
We’ve had a few cryptic posters in here over the past couple of months and some have made suggestions that the Madeleine disappearance is “worse than you think”. If these are involved people who have chosen to give us sneaky inside information, it makes you sick to the stomach to think what could be worse than we already think.

304 - Rationalist :
Paedo hunting is a little worrying at first sight, as it means to know about these practices, but thanks god, it does not include looking or reading their stuff. That is the job of police, fortunately not ours. It is not addressed at normal people and all the officers in charge of studying the Dutroux videos had nervous breakdowns because they where so sick.
343 - The Real Stig :
Yes, this article says the truth. Gina Paerdaens was murdered following the discovery of the Zandvoort network. She was a colleague of our partners from the Werkgroep Morkhoven. It was before I arrived and her picture is in our office. There where attempts on Marcel Vervloesem from the same group. When you see how the networks expanded in these few years, and how worse they get all the time, you realize the job must be done.

“Wasnt it mentioned Brian Kennedy (donor) was a Jehovahs Witness? I dont know if this is a fact.”
Brian Kennedy the “donor” is also on the Fund Committee. (see the 3 photos/captions of the 2 Brian Kennedys on Gerry’s blog site). It is not clear when he was made a committee member. Also, the one caption/photo of the other Brian Kennedy (Kate’s uncle) does not mention that he is a committee member, but according to the McCann FAQ page he IS a member.
Therefore, it appears that both Brian Kennedys are on the Fund Committee. The wealthy magnate Brian Kennedy is said to be a Jehovah’s Witness, while the Uncle Brian Kennedy is said to be a Catholic.

“My mother told me a friend of hers (female) was sexually abused all her childhood by her parents who were Jehovah’s Witnesses.”
Perhaps the same thing happened to Madeleine, before her life was cut short.
” I can only find Murat’s German girlfriend as a Jehovah’s Witness but I can’t find any info on this relating to any others of the T9.”
The wealthy magnate Brian Kennedy is said to be a Jehovah’s Witness. He is now on the Fund Committee, and as such, is eligible to receive compensation “for services rendered”.

I deal in property. The US has money laundering regulations and so I need to keep abreast of those laws. What’s the problem with that?
October 30th, 2007 at 1:45 pm
Thea - what is your problem - apart from the obvious?

If you earn north of $200K your credit rating should be as high as it gets. But…as I find in my work, a lot of high earners haven’t got hardly any savings and if it comes to raising cash, they’ve hardly got anything liquid. The McCanns bought that house in 2006 according to reports. Money problems causes tensions and stress within the household/marriage. Having a good credit rating means you can go and tap up the bank for some folding stuff but they could already be maxed out on their mortgage and car loans. It’s not very relevant for what happened to Madeleine but it is relevant when people are making donations to a fund for their daily bread.
October 30th, 2007 at 1:44 pm
Thea wasnt that the dicredited article written by Murats defense team ??

As most bodies are found in woodland or marshy areas as opposed to telephone kiosks or ice-cream vans I suppose there is always a chance that any psychic on any given day will be right.
lol John I was thinking the same thing.
October 30th, 2007 at 1:41 pm
Stevo you never cease to amaze! What in the name of God are you on about now re money laundering courses ??

Most of the spin has been” leaked” out of Campus McCann, yet you believe all that dribbling, despite it being more full of holes and contradictions than a golf course and kitchen sieve.
Lucky you.

Yes Toni - three in a bed is nice, and very McCann as well - but I draw the line at bumping off the kiddie afterwards - I do have some standards you know.
October 30th, 2007 at 1:39 pm
Peter O are you trying to translate the story from Sol ‘Pact of Silence’? If so here is is in English: http://a-lil-bit-of-everything.blogspot.com/2007/07/channel-4-censors.html
It was censored heavily in the uK press and so there was a lot of buzz about it. Very interesting article imo.

Was it naughty? Give me a hint.
October 30th, 2007 at 1:38 pm
Who said the police are accepting the abduction? The Portuguese media are saying nothing.
The PJ did not give any official information.
British papers are now talking about Murat.
What about Jane Tanner’s abductor?
From the beginning I knew the Mccanns would use Madeleine fund’s money. That was their purpose.The most tragic on the fund was -for a short time - the Madeleine Store. No respect for a dead daughter.It is called now Online Store. Disgusting, making a dead child produce money for them.

Stevo
(I adress to you as someone propossed you to be the boss, and I think is good idea)
Have you seen a post of Can’t say no ten minutes ago? He translates the Sol information about the tapas. They admit that Gerry was the executive controller of everything and asked them not to speak(not only where the police restrictions). What’s the name of this? Pact of silence, IMO
October 30th, 2007 at 1:37 pm
What did I tell you Stevo.
He’s got bionic ears.

141 Solaris.
Has anyone actually thought that this could be hindering any possibility of ever finding Madeleine (that is assuming of course that she was snatched)?
——————————————————————————————————————————–
I suspect this is EXACTLY what McCann’s thought and planned.Why else do they persist in rabbiting via Clarence F&F and “sources” 4 times a day to media if not to hinder. Nothing they do or say or have said on their behalf makes any logical sense unless one at least considers they have a motive.
