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”

Did anyone mention the Third Way - the only possible way to explain this story?
Was that you anonymousthe1st? Welcome to Third Way my friends… the only way.
For you who don’t know what the Third Way is - a quick recap.
The Third Way believes that the McCanns did not kill their daughter (even accidentally) therefore is not anti mccann. But also believes that the PJ are not incompetent, fat-sweaty wife beaters that are totally clueless. In fact, the Third Way advocates that both the PJ and the McCanns know exactly what happened to Madeleine. The reason why the McCanns are not talking is because they and their friends, to explain what happened to Madeleine would have to disclose and explain their participation in unconventional (possibly illicit) relationships - possibly involving some other characters that have so far been unnammed in this story. The process to come to this explanation excludes tabloid news and takes into account only confirmed facts (such as the behaviour of the McCanns prior to the disappearance and since), and also very importantly a detailed behaviour of the few interviews by Alipio Ribeiro (head of PJ) to El Pais and Olegario ds susa to BBC.
There’s been nothing in recent days that has made Third Way apologists change their conviction. If anything, the erratic strategy of misinformation pursued by the McCanns in recent days, the obvious lack of cooperation from British authorities, all amount to an attempt to stop the case from proceeding to court (when a lot of details from this unconventional relationship would necessarily come out to the public domain).
The delays in what would otherwise be relatively swift administrative legal procedures (letters to request the interviewing of the McCanns in the UK, delay in the results from the FSS and now the suggestion that the samples were contaminated) they all suggest that there’s a lot of interest in delaying and possibly closing this case without it going into court in Portugal.
What reason could there be for this? If MAdeleine was abducted surely the british authorities would be interested in getting these interviews going and the DNA results as soon as possible. If the McCanns friends knew that the PJ wanted to re-interview them and if they wanted to cooperate surely they’d be in the first flight back to Portugal to cooperate and avoid delays with admin issues. But they didn’t go back to Portugal did they? WHY NOT???
Because, my dear friends, the Third Way is the Only Way. There is something very dark, repulsive and sinister that this group of “colleagues” are hiding… and that something is obviously damaging for many people.
The Third Way is the Only Way - deep down you all know that this is the only possible explanation.

Garth: “…Which road was this person crossing has not been made clear. It was either the side road or the front. The side road seems to be the obvious one which infact would be going in the direction of Murats home. But that might be pure coincidence. Who knows?” Well, possibly not even Tanner. The first ’story’ was man-walking-in-direction-of-supermarket; then she changed it to …-in-the-(opposite)-direction-toward-murats-house. Funny that, esp. since the Tapas9 were hounding for Murat.

The longer this madness goes on, the more likely the outcome will be what we most fear.
October 30th, 2007 at 4:37 pm
I gave up on this guys… As you could see in my previous post!
Now i’m just waiting to see what’s going to be the next case manipulated by the “big” guys… and everybody quiet seeing this terrible things happening!

That’s what I said…it doesn’t quote a source.
Seriously…I mean there’s no named person. I discount any story if it says “a source said…”
I’m a source - you’re a source. A story really means nothing without a person’s name.

500 Thea Says:
“My theory is that BOTH countries are blackmailing one another. Portugal found sosme extremely filthy dirt of at least 1 British vip early in the investigation (within the first week or two). Voila! British government says something like ” I wouldn’t continue with that line of investigation or this is what we’ll expose.”
The threat wouldn’t be necessary. If the government asked to be kind to one VIP, then it would be against the good relationship between the countries to refuse such a favour.

Philomena McCann….(remains Clinically Obese)
J Tanner…..is NOT a MIWLTB….and remains evil looking.
Clarence Mitchell…continues to unimpress everyone bar Team McCann.

“Perhaps paedophilia. But then why not rent a secluded villa?”
…. Very good point ….

Good description. Who can ever forget that creep Huntley?
The idea of a high-level and large scale pedophile scenario has a lot of clues indicating it as a possibility. I think the biggest problem is that normal people don’t know how a pedophile thinks and does his/her dirty deed. This is why it’s hard to get your head around the theory.

I thought about what you said with the new guy replacing Amaral in some kind of ruse. It doesn’t really make sense because they could have brought this new guy in anyway. Why go to the lengths to sack Amaral as subterfuge?

m.e. 527 says,
“1) Eye coloboma. To some iridologists this could indicate previous sexual abuse. Others think iridology nonsense.”
Could you provide documentation?
October 30th, 2007 at 4:27 pm
Why didn’t the nanny report it to the McCanns on the day or to the management of the complex - or does everyone involved in this case have a bad sense of judgment ?

Sorry, just wanted to say I’m not a Tolkien specialist, I only posted to Portia.
For all I care, Tolkien may have been a resident of Praia De Luz. I don’t know;)

That story about all the evidence being contaminated doesn’t have any quoted source for it does it, Is a scam,as all this case
October 30th, 2007 at 4:26 pm
So many better minds on anorak. Put things much more eloquently than I can. Once I’d viewed the first interviews, I knew that abduction was unlikely but assumed that there had been an accident and a cover up. However, their behaviour since then has made me so nauseous that I am beginning to believe that there is something more sinister. Murder seems increasingly likely. The PR, lawyers, false leads and so on must be for a reason. Their crap PR makes them seem more guilty by the day. Perhaps they didn’t want a 3rd child and perhaps there was something wrong with Madeleine. These people have presumably paid for IVF and would only want the ‘best’. Perhaps paedophilia. But then why not rent a secluded villa?

“Have you guys seen this?”
Ah, Stig that must be the Bogeyman … ‘family and friends’ tells me he hangs out around there that time of year.
Seriously though, you jump on these ’sightings’ that are manufactured every so often (like the bloke that got thrown out of Morocco for trying to bribe people into being witnesses at the petrol station) as if they change the reality that there IS NO PROOF of an abduction.

“That story about all the evidence being contaminated doesn’t have any quoted source for it does it?”
“quoting a source in the forensics labs at the Policia Judiciara.”
October 30th, 2007 at 4:24 pm
People , give up. They are guilty, of something, even the Spanish Royalty, was involved
They get out of this , cleaned, and lods of money

So the McCanns apartment is a regular for stalkers is it? lol
On a more serious point, maybe it IS situated nicely for abduction.
Maybe thats why the McCanns chose it???

It also makes you wonder why O’Brien’s child was vomiting…
None of this theory bears thinking about.
