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”

I thought it was quite mild - the first version involved a much more spectacular method involving a component of an upright piano…

YOu forgot to mention how they incorporate the national colors of Portugal into their attire. They should get some kind of credit for that.

Hello, Stevo,
sorry, I must have missed your earlier post.
Do you really think Clarence, etc. will financially benefit in that way?
I should think that the newspapers and reporters to whom he’s fed a variety of story lines, tips, and quotes might be pretty annoyed with him.
But I could certainly be wrong about that.

Question to Maria:
Why do you think the McCanns aren’t taking legal proceedings against newspapers reporting traces of Maddie’s dead body in their hired car?

You know it was just a pathetic joke on my part but I do sometimes think that comments like the one you make at the end of post 614 must put off the casual visitor to Anorak from adopting the anti-McCann point of view. Pretty foul IMO. That’s all I meant, as you well know.
However, Ade, something does, I THINK, distinguish you from some of the anti-McCann posters. I don’t think I remember you indulging in personal abuse against other posters.
Thank you for not doing so after my last post! May see you down at the lower field some time!

and you know this how?
All I can say is the police must be really dumb, or in on it of course, if they let the children all go home with their respective abusing parents.

You are really Auntie Phil, inciting everyone here to call Gerrypops and Katikins rude names and then adding them to the list of people to be sued.
Drainage in the lower foot, my arse. You nip out to phone Clarrie, don’t you?????
Oh I feel so betrayed….and I thought it was just the McLiars who were manipulative.
Maria is right, you are so so clever. Had me fooled!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ANYWAY MARIA!!
What are you reasons for the statement that Ade is a McPlant? Come on now, answer please.
November 4th, 2007 at 7:03 pm

simple answer is yes, clarrie could be in the shit. I posted a few threads ago a similar question about clarrie, beardie, rowlings and the window cleaner. clarrie is clearly a manipulating liar as shown earlier today:

Has Comical Clarrie now gone completely bonkers?http://www.sundaymail.co.uk/news/uk-and-international-news/2007/11/04/prayer-for-madeleine-on-six-month-anniversary-78057-20059128/
“To confuse matters, there has been a ‘new’ sighting of her in Morocco.
But spokesman Clarence Mitchell said: “This is a very old sighting which we were keen to get out there in September when everyone was busy implying the family had something to be guilty about.”
What the hell is an “old sighting that we are keen to get out there”? Sounds like something overheard by accident in one of his Anorak McArse briefings. So he’s saying that it’s old but we need put put out some junk in the media to keep ourselves on te front pages.
Yep that’s about it Clarrie but we don’t need you to spell it out! The Anoraks cottoned on months ago…
Must be time for Comical’s medication… UNQUOTE
I wonder if he is fair game for any citizen to present a case against him if his pals in the government don’t bother?

Thanks Tony. I’m setting up the email on the site right now. I’ll send you a test email shortly.
November 4th, 2007 at 7:00 pm
But what about the argument that if 70% of the people aren’t fooled after 6 months, how could someone as sophisticated and worldy-wise as Clarence be fooled? Someone so schooled in government and politics and media…
It’s one thing to hold and opinion, or believe, and chat on the internet casually.
It is quite another thing to issue blatantly misleading statements to the press, and keep arguing that there are innocent explanations for everything. I am just wondering….
and sue the McCanns because they “lied” to him?
wouldn’t that be…ludicrous!

I tend to agree with a lot of Judith C’s posts but I strongly disagree with her comments saying you shouldn’t compare humans to animals. We compare humans to all kinds of things. Don’t we call people “robotic” or have sayings like “slept like a log”?

Thanks for your opinion Judith but I think you’re wrong. 99% of a chimp’s DNA matches a human and a human is only a different form of animal from a point of view of biology. Of course it’s right to make comparisons with animals and human behaviour. Doesn’t a cat show its kitten’s love? Doesn’t a dog recognise and exhibit humour?
*******************
Yes. I have the most intelligent, humourous and loving Siamese cat in the world. He’s on my knee joking and loving me at this moment. I agree - humour and love they exhibit. But, when humans are compared to animals they are only ever compared in a negative sense - ‘These evil animals’….’Only an animal would do something as bad as this…’ ‘We must catch these animals before they kill again’.. etcetera. People never say ‘as amusing as an animal’ or ‘he/she loves me as much as an animal’ — agreed?

Further to Ian’s reply to Ferdinand
As I have stated before - if 3 May was a mistake it was not a one off potential for calamity. If the McCanns were able to leave the children vulnerable for 4 nights in a row because they interfered with their enjoyment then I wonder how many nights the children would have been left alone if the holiday had been over 2 or 3 weeks?
November 4th, 2007 at 6:58 pm
i believe that justin ‘no hope candidate’ mcguiness billed them the extra 25 grand for embarrassing her about the reduced sentence for a confession claim.

Hi…did you read my earlier posts asking about Sarah Whalens?
Anyway, to answer your question, I think Clarence Mitchell and any other hangers-on types will become very rich if the McCanns are charged/found guilty. The papers will be all over them for inside information about the McCanns. Any of the McCanns daily habits will be know to CM and others and they’ll sell their stories.
Sonia Sutcliffe sold her story to The Sun (I think it was that paper) for about 100,000 quid. Unfortunately, people who know or are related to murderers are able to make money from the public’s sick curiosity.

609 Garth. You are far too selective on your judgement of what is evidence and what isnt. You only pursue a singl view - which leads most of us to conclude that you are not serious about debating.
We end up wasting our time writing to you and you bring out the worst in people.

It could be the first people he sues which would be ironic.

But you have just provided the next very special MT code:

MT99: A McArse talking out of its arse accusing a real person of being a McArse.
