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”

Thanks Clare! Coolandcalm … it’s not amongst those photos on that site either, ohhh grrrr I cannot believe that a photo can just disappear like this! I’m still gonna check the home made videos a bit later, maybe, just maybe someone copied it into one of their videos! Oh heck, if I was an artist, I could draw it, that’s how much of an impression it made even though I only saw it once! I could kick myself for not copying it at the time!

I would like to add my two cents in on the possiblility that the McCanns and possibly the other members of their Tappas group were involved in pedophilia. Of course, this is a possibility–human behavior allows for that level of depravity. I do strongly urge people not to claim it as fact in their posts, only as one of many possibilities. As yet, we have been given no evidence to suggest that this is true. The circumstances of the case encourage us to speculate and even wildly imagine what has brought about these very unusual behaviors on the part of the suspects and their friends, their protectors, and the press, but I think we should maintain a level of human decency as we pursue the truth.
I don’t think Hideki’s posts were too graphic, imo, btw. If she went into detailed descriptions of graphic sexual acts–that would be wrong, but just mentioning the potential evidence of such acts is not out of line.
We’re talking about corpses, cadaverine, possible homicide and manslaughter on this forum. Is any of that suitable for young children? I think not. Adults should be able to handle the speculation, if they are in touch with the sad realities of the world we live in.

Ok, will have a look myself through some of the maddie picture galleries , will let you know if I have any luck.

Thanks for the photo of Madeleine at 2.
Yes, it is strange that Madeleine’s face at almost 4 would be so similar to when she was just two. Kids usually change so much as they develop.
I hope that someone can find the photo mentioned of Madeleine with long hair wearing the dark shirt. I don’t have time to comb through the tens of thousands of photos (most are repititious, of course) that the search for Madeleine’s image brings up.
November 4th, 2007 at 3:29 pm
Ok thanks coolandcalm, will look … thought you got a bit “bat-brained” there for a mo
November 4th, 2007 at 3:28 pm
Coolandcalm … where are you looking? I’ve done the Google Image search thing already, are you somewhere else? I’ll look through them, coz I’ll recognize the photo straight away.

I must confess I like to buy tabloids from time to time, it’s interesting to know what the proles are thinking.

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…”
************************************
Not really strange considering the UK media, led by the BBC helped by the government, has spun, manipulated and perverted absolutely everything in favour of the McCanns. So if Clarence doesn’t think it ‘helps’ them then ‘it’ won’t be publicised.

360 Clare … it’s a photograph that appeared just over two months ago (at about the time Madeleine was supposed to start school). It was one I’d never seen before and the caption was that it was taken in the garden of their Rothley home shortly before their holiday in PdL. She had a dark t-shirt on. It was the one and only time I’ve seen this photo, and now that we’re hunting for it, it has disappeared totally!

Don’t make fun of my handle
November 4th, 2007 at 3:13 pm
Baby Grace is 34 -35 inches high. An inch is 25,4 mm, so 2,54 cm. 30 inches is 75 cm, 35 inches is 88,9 cm !!! On the official PJ site the height of missing Madeleine is 90 cm!!! It MATCHES EXACTLY!!!
Mar, (if you are not new Maria), is this satisfactory?
Wavy hair - on the sketch not so wavy. And we do not know how the hair of the corpse changes anywa. durung 6 months.
Silence in the British press is telling. Even if it is not M. , the silence shows that the Team has something to hide.

Sad Git.
The editor of the Express was asked many months ago why there was always a Diana story on the front page on a monday. He replied…. ‘it doubles the weekly sales figures’.
Now they are doing the same with Madeleine and all the poor saps are falling for it all over again!!
The headlines never coincide with the story inside and the buyers don’t notice the ’speech marks’ until they are home.
***************************
Gosh! Coolandcalm. You are so smart. You could never be one of the ‘poor saps’ who buy all these papers and don’t notice the ’speech marks’ until they’re home…could you? No, of course not. You’re ex-BBC. What were you - a copytaker?
November 4th, 2007 at 3:08 pm
Lilith, thanks for trying anyways! I’m convinced that photograph has been removed for a reason! I’ll try a bit later on to go through a couple of the “home-made” Madeleine videos on you-tube and see if someone didn’t by chance just pick up on that photograph that I’m referring to! I’m really quite anxious to see that photo again, I think it has real significance!
November 4th, 2007 at 3:06 pm
Sad Git.. again. (ooops no offence)
The Morocco ‘little maid’ stories are so far-fetched but then I have this little niggle in the back of my head that it wasn’t all that far back in history (100 years?) that the European aristocracy held great store by having a little ‘ Picaninny’ to show off. They were highly prized and proof of wealth.
Hmmmmmmm

Yes it beats proper journalism. “Private Eye” did a great montage a while back of all the Express’s recent headlines, there were literally dozens of them. “MADELINE - case nearly solved”, “MADELINE - still missing”, etc.

Jolie I looked for that photo but could not find it.
However, I stumbled upon this photo taken on Madeleine second birthday.
Funny how 2 years later she would still look the same and still have the same height.

If the Royal Family were there and about to fly with Eastjet then I’m sure they would have been able to avoid a public check-in check in but the McCanns went thru the same procedures as everyone else!!
Very easy to find out Judith… GOOGLE!
***************************
Nonetheless, I did see a photo of the royal family in a private area - I don’t know about the public ‘check-in check-in’(sic) (but you usually repeat yourself!) Oh, and thank you so much for telling me to GOOGLE. I never thought of that. Clever clever you! Silly me!

Yes, I meant the silence from Team McCann and co. There has been the body of an unidentified 3-5 year old female found and it doesn’t even make the UK news that it could be M when the papers cover the case daily.Something not right….
November 4th, 2007 at 3:01 pm
347 Mar …. nope, there’s no ways that this current set of DNA tests are going to take months. I made mention here yesterday that the Chief of Police who’s in charge of Baby Grace’s case looks like the type of guy who aint prepared to sit on his butt and let things fall as they may! (It’s just such a pity that Madeleine didn’t have a guy like him working on her case from the word go!)
November 4th, 2007 at 3:00 pm
Remigius,
I believe that Gerry is not the father of M. , because such info is very easy to check and the portuguese newspaper would not have risked to be easlily sued if their allegations turned out to be false. I believe the paper said the truth.
However, Gerry must be entered on the cert. anyway because he is the father by law. He did not need to fake.
You might be well right that it is not certain if Kate is the mother. It could be her egg … really no baby in the arms pictures… But Kate’s appearance has nothing to do with ablility to carry children, for sure. You should have seen my mother -in-law, some women look stick-thin and still no contraception helps!
I think the twin-boy looks very much like Gerry, I believe Gerry to be twins’ dad.
And M. does have likeness with Kate and Mrs. Healy, so, again, my belief is that she is the mother. Achieving likeness is my job. But today, instead of practising, I sit on Anorak…

THE CASE FOR THE ABDUCTION THEORY:-
1 Maddy is blonde, and the dirty primitive dago pervs had never seen a pure blonde aryan child before.
2 Er . . ..
3 That’s it.
(Sorry I am in bad mood today, due to splitting headache)
November 4th, 2007 at 2:56 pm
345 Rem,
Didn’t say they were walking away - simply said there are a number of reasons why Madeleine is not being considered as Number 1 identity for BG. I’m sure they won’t leave it up to speculation - Heaven help them if they did! Bet you those DNA tests won’t take months…….

Peter O. I agree about Hideki’s obscene posts. However I hope someone does get to see them and then sues the arse off him/her.
There are a couple of posters on here who are too gleeful about reporting details of pedophilia/homosexuality.
My working experiences tell me that they are scarily obsessed and doth protest too much.
