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”

if blood was found in apartment,maybe one of the questions asked by pj was, did madeline have an accident while on holiday,they replied no….therefore ruling out any reason for blood to be there,even with their child care record surely they would have known if madeline had cut herself somehow,obviously this was asked before the mccanns knew pj had found blood traces

Sorry Ade no need I like this one and I have you to thank for it!XXX SHALL WE HAVE IT AGAIN ?
I am a great believer in helping the planet by recycling rubbish. I feel supporters of the McCanns being positive and thinking individuals will agree it is a good policy.
I should offer thanks here to Aged and Pony Bonnet for their help and all those Anti McCanners who inspired me and made this blog possible
Recycled list of ANTI-McCann Spin Tactics Codes:
MT HEAD1: Pretend to be parent of the year and yet spend their entire lives on Anorak
MTHEAD2: Be abusive to individuals (e.g. call them a tosser, insane, clown or use very foul language indeed, towards them)
MTHEAD3: Claim it’s about a missing child…who was “neglected”Anti McCanners would never do this…on their holidays. But ALL McCann supporters are bad parents.
MTHEAD4: Raise the neglect debate YET AGAIN hmmm Wonder who this is?????
MTHEAD5: Ask for links to points and then claim stuff in the paper is not reliable.
MTHEAD6: Claim forensic evidence is back and decisive and the McCanns are going to be arrested because the papers say so. (See above)
MTHEAD7 Create daft and lurid scenarios to titillate themselves… (Disgusting and sick this is.)
MTHEAD8: Diagnose one of a number of rare syndromes for Madeleine, use internet evidence and photographs as proof and suggest that illness as motive for murder….(truly sickening)
MTHEAD9: “Say I’m going to ignore you now….for 5 seconds and you’re going to be truly devastated I’m warning you…” (very funny this one )
MTHEAD10: I am so clever, I can cobble together pictures of Kate’s breasts or add and subtract people from photographs oh and that makes me a photographic expert
MTHEAD11: Insists Madeleine is dead, should no longer be looked for. (DANGEROUS)
MTHEAD12: Threatens legal action/law suit even though they are using a moniker and therefore don’t really exist.
MTHEAD13: Not answering questions but instead disappearing when caught out
MTHEAD14: Rubbishing the fact that under British law you have the right to be treated as innocent until proven guilty in a court of law”
MTHEAD15: Saying that “by posting here, and rubbishing her parents and family, they’re helping “Maddie”After all even though they’ve never met her they love her more than her parents and that’s the logic of it.
MTHEAD16: Claim McCann supporters are highly educated and intelligent but illogical because they don’t agree with “anti McCanners who pretend to be highly educated and intelligent and think they are logical.
MTHEAD17: Abuse other posters and then run to mods and admin when aggrieved McCann supporters fight back.
MT HEAD18: Accuse ALL McCann supporters of being one person, paid by” Mitchell” and call that person “insane.”
MTHEAD19: So addicted to Anorak has spent 5 months on the same chair and doesn’t appear to have own life, so invents one and a Sims family and gets angry when not believed.
MTHEAD20.Prone to aggression and threats of violence like throwing knives or candlesticks, even though this is a computer forum
User Guide: Simply type MTHEAD3 or appropriate MTHEAD code as a response to an inane comment, thus saving valuable time and bandwidth. Multiple codes are acceptable if separated by forward slash (/).

When do you think Madeleine’s body was removed from the apartment?
By whom?
What was Russell O’Brien doing most of the evening?
Why was Jane Tanner also away from the table so much that evening?
Why did Kate and Gerry McCann contact the police in the early hours of the morning?
Why did Kate McCann stay in the apartment that night instead of looking for Madeleine?
How do you explain the evidence of the cadavder ’sniffer’ dogs?
These and other things point to a sudden, unexpected death.
Even if it was, say, an accidental death by an overdose of sedation, or an accident because Madeleine fell down the outside steps, the parents would quite probably panic and maybe came up with the abduction scenario to avoid an autopsy

Practise what you preach.
You’re too busy making reference to how much ‘fun’ you’re having to contribute anything we’ve not read a thousand times over.
That post sent by Alexis was very observant and original.

176, Chenier, thanks for the article. I agree a good investigator will never assume any angle is ‘impossible’. Much to the chagrin of the Mcs and the McPologists.
November 4th, 2007 at 12:35 pm
well I’m off - it’s been fun watching the dragnet close in…
and the absence of McIdiots
perhaps these two are connected
all this talk of flasks and song titles reminds me that the drainage in the lower field needs a look on this nice sunny day and that i need to practise some plucking if i’m gonna be able to play anything useful next week…
happy McPanjandrumming to all…

Reasons why we should unquestionably believe Clarrie Muckle…….its all in his name -
CLARENCE:…..
“From the Latin title Clarensis which belonged to members of the British royal family”.
MITCHELL:……Recorded in many forms including Machel, Matchell, Matsell, Mitchel, Mitchell, Michell, Mickle, Muckle and others, ….. returning knights and pilgrims of the famous Crusades to free the Holy Land, it derives from the medieval Hebrew and Biblical name “Michel”, meaning -
………………..”He who is like the Lord”………

There is no evidence for paedophilia but there are several suspicious indicators. It may be crap it may not.

One last post. No, not a clothing designer, if you saw my dress sense you would understand why. Machinery design.
Scandanavian design is very impressive. Simple and stylish.
Really must go now.

snorting crack cocaine????????? erm….. i think you need to read about crack and then comment or just change the method of ingestion

I feel that things have gone too well for it not to be planned in some way. What possible accident could not be covered up with excuses? And you dont get rid of your child unless you are capable of something far worse than an accident.

Tony Bennett -’Something unexpected happened any time from late on 2nd May to the afternoon of 3rd May’
Come on man. Are you serious? Fuck me if i accidentally murdered my daughter id be in a right state. I woodnay try n cover it up. I’d face the consequences. Id be mortified. You talk shite!
November 4th, 2007 at 12:26 pm
203 - Was’nt it a case of, they told Kate she would get 2 years if she admitted killing Maddie, not as pressure to make her confess, just as an opportunity for her to admit it if she had done it. I think Kate told aunty Phil that she had been pressured, whereas I think the PJ were just informing Kate of the implications of an admission.

welcome and thanks for a good summary of the situation. I’m basically with you - especially the running scared bit. I feel we have just hit a turning point…

“They did not have much time to fashion a big lie. They created the lie by basing it upon truth”.
REPLY: I go along 100% with that. There is much evidence pointing towards that.
“It was TRUE that every night a pedophile(s) was in the apartment sexually abusing the children”.
REPLY: Here I part company from you. What evidence is there for that? The only thing that I think might be possible here is that some of the ‘Tapas 9′ were snorting crack cocaine (maybe a very pure sample) or similar on or after the evening of 2 May and something went hideously wrong, as it often does with crack cocaine users…violence, high sexual drive and excitement, paranoia etc.

SteveT are you a clothing designer? I love Scandanavian design for everything. I’m in interior design but would love to try my hand at clothing and furniture. I’m a big fan of Swedish crystal and art glass too.

November 4th, 2007 at 12:20 pm
tony bennet, The PJ offered (or hinted to) Kate McCann back in early September the chance to admit to Madeleine’s accidental death. The McCanns might have been better advised to accept that offer
this theory was totally discredited by the pj and i think it was the main reason for justin mcguiness’s untimely departure
November 4th, 2007 at 12:18 pm
192 m.e.
I understand the reasons why you and others say this was planned, but disagree.
They (the McCanns and the ‘Tapas 9′) would have done a much better job on 3rd May had this been planned.
Something unexpected happened any time from late on 2nd May to the afternoon of 3rd May.

lol SteveT, I was thinking codpiece too! Ivory suede? Suede will keep you and your fellas toasty warm. And you will be able to show off your muscular thighs which I think your blushing bride Maria wil proudly enjoy.
Speaking of those muscular thighs of yours I hope we can agree that Renaissance leather boots would like nice with tights or would you rather wear Renaissance velvet slippers with a curled up toe? I can see either style being a handsome accent to your attire.

coolandcalm … what’s your opinion on Baby Grace vs Madeleine?
My personal opinion, about 25 % chance it may be Madeleine. Anyone else want to add their odds?

Priceless. You’re spot-on in your summation.

Hi Everyone, New to this site, courtesy of “Justice for Madeleine” posts on Sky.Com.
Some very funny replies and like most people I am very sceptical about the McCanns but
find it hard to believe they could have launched such a campaign if they are guilty.
Then again, they wasted no time in returning to the U.K. as soon as they were declared
“Aguidos”,hiring Top Flight Lawyers when they hav”nt been charged and getting support
from people in high places!!!!!! All very strange. Alas, I feel we will never know what
happened to dear little Madeleine and no charges will be made against the McCanns, so “Justice “will not be done. However, their reputations are ruined.
As for their latest attempts, T.V. appearance, hiring Detectives, Commemorating her
disappearance in church etc, signs they are running scared.
