Madeleine McCann: Mafia, A Bag Of Clothes And Missing Children
MADDY WATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann
NEWS OF THE WORLD: “Maddie DNA clue in airport bag”
A bag of clothes containing “DNA linked to Madeleine McCann” has been found dumped by a road in Portugal.” It is a white carrier bag. It was in a layby two weeks ago near Faro airport.
“The bag contained a blue fleece jacket and a pair of adult jeans with traces of DNA that contained ‘moderate’ links to Madeleine”. And: “There was also a SHOWER CURTAIN inside.” And a white flannel, a green elastic band, a light green child’s T-shirt with a green flower on the front and a pink and blue pencil case with a pink heart motif
“Godfather in Madeleine hunt… Crime godfathers in Morocco—where there have been several alleged sightings of Maddie - have been told cops will scale back drug busts if they do”
SUNDAY MIRROR front page: “MY LITTLE MADDY” - a picture of Madeleine McCann on a pony with Kate McCann by her side
• “McCanns heartache as Cops say: “Case closes in 7 weeks
• Police to leave cloud of suspicion over Kate and Gerry”
SUNDAY EXPRESS front page: “MADELEINE MYSTERY – McCANN FRIENDS TO BE NAMED AS SUSPECTS”
“Dr Russell O’Brien and his partner Jane Tanner, Matthew Oldfield and Dr David Payne were last night forced to bring in their own lawyers after increasing fears that Portuguese police were preparing to implicate them in the case of the vanished four-year-old girl”
So will they be named as suspects or not? The Express say yes and then prevaricates
DAILY STAR ON SUNDAY front page: “MADDIE SIX MONTHS ON – 15 NEW CLUES”
That picture of Madeleine McCann on a horse. A clue?
SUNDAY PEOPLE: “ANSWER OUR PRAYERS - ON THE SIX-MONTH ANNIVERSARY OF LOSING MADDIE Kate weeps at church service for Maddie as parents suffer crushing blow”
“The devout couple first took two-year-old twins Sean and Amelie for ‘a few moments of solitude’ at their village church to remember missing Maddie”
A solitude watched by person who told the press? No need with Clarence Mitchell to fill in the gaps, Says he: “Kate and Gerry wanted a few moments of solitude praying for Madeleine with the twins”
Inside the church: “A collage of pictures of a happy Maddie - including the one…of her sitting on a black Shetland pony - took pride of place near the altar. Six snaps of the youngster next to smiling faces of other missing children were pinned onto a green notice board. Supporters were encouraged to look at the pictures before praying”
And they pray for…
The People looks at “respected” Portuguese daily Publico, which tells: “Six months on from Madeleine’s disappearance, the police theory remains the same. That the child died by accident in her room - and her parents committed the crime of hiding her body”
DAILY MAIL: “Madeleine’s parents hold prayer vigil six months to the minute after she disappeared”
There are about 200 people at the “700-year-old church” near Rothley, Leicestershire
The McCanns are suspects
“Other missing children - including British toddler Ben Needham, who disappeared while on holiday in Greece in 1991, were also remembered at the service”
Did Ben Needham’s family ask for this? Want it?
Says the Rev Rob Gladstone: “Comfort and liberate all those, especially young children who have been taken from their families against their will, give courage to their grieving families”
A board says “Pray for all missing children.” How were the faces on the board selected? Many children are missing
THE INDEPENDENT: “Six months after Madeleine, another 600 are still missing”
Missing persons charities yesterday released figures “showing that more than 600 children have been missing in the UK for as long as Madeleine McCann, and are still unaccounted for”
Many are foreign. Many are teenagers. Not all are blonde
DAILY TELEGRAPH: “Prayers for Madeleine McCann, six months on”
“The 3,500-strong population of Rothley - its trees decked in yellow ribbons and messages of support - came to a near standstill as Kate and Gerry arrived from their nearby home”
Locals can’t move for the press?
Rothley is an “affluent Midlands enclave”. This is McCann Land – the enclave - a small territory culturally and ethnically different form the surrounding lands
Says Gerry in his blog: “We have no idea whether she is suffering, but we have to hope and pray that she is being treated like a princess, as she deserves”
THE GUARDIAN: “Madeleine book notes the ‘contradictions’”
More on Maddie 129, a book by Hernani Carvalho and Luis Maia
“The message is that the case just doesn’t add up,” says a representative of the book’s publishers
THE SCOTSMAN: “Six months on, McCanns in new Maddie plea”
The picture of Madeleine on a Shetland pony was taken on a day out at the Hatton Country World park in Warwickshire on April 13 – “less than three weeks before she went missing”
THE TIMES: “Gerry McCann: ‘our princess prayer for Madeleine’”
Gerry McCann’s blog: “It is so painful for us simply being separated, but all the more distressing when we have to speculate about the situation Madeleine finds herself [in]. We have no idea whether she is suffering but we have to hope and pray that she is being treated like a princess, as she deserves”

SteveT, Tights sound good I was thinking slate blue or gray with a tunic and tasteful cape. It might be cold and you should protect the temperature of the family jewels. Maybe something like this: http://www.concentric.net/~marlowe/olivier_hamlet3.jpg
And I think a colourful sash and a sword, in case your bride starts spouting off her naive views on the McCanns in the midst of the celebration. You gotta’ nip that in the bud asap.

143. Garth, I do not hate nor envy the McCanns. I feel sorry for their inability to love and care for their children not to mention unable to express remorse or genuine concern for M.

I find it strange that any blonde child seen resembling Maddie in Morocco or elsewhere is taken as a possible sighting and investigated but a blonde, female child’s body is washed up on a beach in Texas and according to sources there it could have come from anywhere and it’s not even considered. The child is white caucasian, thought to be in the age range 3-5 years, been dead at least two weeks probably more because of the condition scientists are unable to determine exact time of death. The hair appears slightly longer than Maddie’s but she was last seen six months ago and hair continues to grow even after death. I find the artists sketch very similar to Maddie’s features especially around the chin and jaw, same smile. What strikes me though is the teeth, something which is often used to identify a body. Maddie has a small gap between each teeth top and bottom comparing the sketch to madeleine’s picture the teeth are identical. Why has the story of Baby Grace not even made UK news? Why with all the similarities is the authorities not even considering it could be her? Do Team McCann only allow live sightings to be investigated and highlighted? That way it keeps them out of the frame and everyone elses mind away from the PJ’s theory that there was no abbduction. Strange…

From The Smiths’ ‘Suffer Little Children’
But this is no easy ride
For a child cries :
“Oh, find me … find me, nothing more
We are on a sullen misty moor
We may be dead and we may be gone
But we will be, we will be, we will be, right by your side
Until the day you die
This is no easy ride
We will haunt you when you laugh
Yes, you could say we’re a team
You might sleep
You might sleep
You might sleep
BUT YOU WILL NEVER DREAM !
Oh, you might sleep
BUT YOU WILL NEVER DREAM !
You might sleep
BUT YOU WILL NEVER DREAM !”
Oh Manchester, so much to answer for
Oh Manchester, so much to answer for
Oh, find me, find me !
Find me !
I’ll haunt you when you laugh
Oh, I’ll haunt you when you laugh
You might sleep
BUT YOU WILL NEVER DREAM !
Oh …
Over the moors, I’m on the moor
Oh, over the moor
Oh, the child is on the moor

Helen Says:
“…I am puzzled by an obvious lack of motive here. I don’t believe the Mcanns disposed of their child’s body. If supposing there was an accident and she was fatally injured - her parents would have been devastated. I cannot believe they would have recovered enough to then ‘hide’ her body & then go out to dinner. WHY?? Don’t tell me that they did this to cover up the fact that maybe the children had been sedated.”
Well, if you think the medical condition of sedation is not enough of a motive, what about the medical condition of sexual abuse, including tell-tale signs of semen and DNA? If the McCanns had been willingly allowing sexual predators to prey on their children, and in the midst of that Madeleine died — well, that would be a “disaster” for Gerry, wouldn’t it?
Now, you might not like this pedophile theory, and you might prefer the McCann version of “They’ve taken her!”, apparently meaning to blame the invited pedophiles for being so dastardly as to abduct Madeleine.
Do you know how much money the McCanns would make by lending their children out to pedophiles in this way? No, I doubt that you do. Because you, like most others, do not know how these pedophilia networks operate. But the police do know. And guess what, the McCanns apparently know too — how else could they be so certain that pedophiles are holding Madeleine in Morrocco?
The truth hurts, but there is nothing to do but face up to it….
