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”

No apologies required for your English ;its flawless.It’s your logic and reasoning that baffles me.Supporters of the McCanns don’t believe there was a body to hide and hope there won’t be either. In other words ,We hope that the focus will be on Madeleine and please God finding her alive. One Baby Grace is one too many.

MADDIE MUM ORGY FURY
“The couple’s spokesman Clarence Mitchell said: “This is extremely offensive, deeply hurtful and completely ludicrous. It is not true to suggest they are or ever have been swingers.
“It is obviously defamatory and he – and all those who spread rumours like this – had better be aware that our lawyers are watching.”

Late DNA tests. I thought the same thing, too, that the testing was taking way too long. But a friend with a genetics background has told me that it can take up to one year to get a full DNA match. The other thing is that the bloody fluid substance is called bloody purge - it can only come from a cadaver. It is purged from the mouth, ears and nose. Disgusting, yes, but for those of us who have been praying for the little girl, we know that she is no longer in this world of evil doers. Can’t believe her parents, who are in the medical business and who have to rely on test results with lower accuracy rates than the DNA results, are so stupid to ignore these findings. Perhaps the Almighty has darkened their intellect.

“Garth is a very smart person….. and analitical one”
great sense of humour, anca
excellent fun

930 Anca Says:
Garth is a very smart person….. and analitical one
it’s only about cognitive dissonance.. Edit….
++++++++++++++++++
Cognitive Dissonance?
Oh I see now, you mean:
Rule 1 – Madeleine was abducted and her parents are completely innocent of any wrongdoing.
Rule 2 – If a post contradicts Rule 1 – Reject post
Rule 3 – Not required
Rule 4 – I’m happy bunny
Yep, that sounds ‘smart and analytical’!
November 4th, 2007 at 10:52 pm
If we look right back to the beginning the pyjamas supposedly worn by Madeleine when she ‘disappeared’ have always been a contentious issue ….!
November 4th, 2007 at 10:51 pm
930 Anca said ‘Garth is a very smart person….. and analitical one’
Garth? Is there another one?
You canno0t be discussing our dear old Garth!
I have seen no sign of ’smart’ and no analysis at all.
Example of Garth input….’They didnt do it. They are innocent’.
‘But why do you think that?’ asks someone.
Garth responds….’You are anti-Mccann…you ask for reasons … you are anti-Maccann… I hate you…I hate you…..’

yep it’s the missing clothes
I have a copy of the jpg in post 915 if they scrub it before you can copy it…
November 4th, 2007 at 10:50 pm
Stevo,
Thank you for the picture! It is unbelievable!!! Too many coincidences!
I might sound really stupid, but what if PJ asked the American officials to not disclose their suspicions about BG to the public? Like it was when PJ denied that they suspected Mccanns just before making them arguidos?
What if everything is being checked and denials (carefully worded to include the tiny possibility of the body being still her) are being issued for strategic reasons?
What do you think?
November 4th, 2007 at 10:48 pm
Alexis - or create a diversion - nothing to lose eh?
November 4th, 2007 at 10:48 pm
Stevo have you always been a supporter of lost causes.

this one?
http://www.dw-world.de/image/0,,2578624_1,00.jpg
save it - it’s small but it’s the only copy i can find. they will want to scrub this one, i’m sure
have you noticed too that very few photos show maddie’s shoes… ?
November 4th, 2007 at 10:46 pm
Being fully clothed made it difficult to dispose of the body. Once decay set it that would make it impossible to undress….so the clothes now became a major problem….hence no photos.
November 4th, 2007 at 10:45 pm
Oy! Guvnor can I sweep your chimmney chim chim chereeeeeeeeeeeeee
November 4th, 2007 at 10:45 pm
The numbers are all over the place, please ignore all my posts.
November 4th, 2007 at 10:45 pm
Garth is a very smart person….. and analitical one
it’s only about cognitive dissonance.. hard to concede that parents commited the crime of hiding Madeleine’s body if you believed until now they are innocent.
this happened with all pro-Mccann’s
it’s not a problem
sorry for my english

Hi Annie,
Thanks for the info. It is interesting and positive that finally the McCanns are taking a proactive stance. If nothing else, one must surely question whether this and hiring detectives ,would be the actions of a guilty couple ;or a couple desperate to find their small daughter and clear their names.

Last photo was taken by the pool at or around 1:29pm on May 3…allegedly.
The playground photo was taken on May 2.
See my other posts..Madeleine died and was disposed of fully clothed.

Maybe some of her other clothes also got blood on them and had to be disposed of.
So it was not just the clothes she was wearing that they did not want in photographs.

903 Andy Says:
Edit….
“Authorities in Morocco have no reason to believe missing British toddler Madeleine McCann may be in the country as suggested by British press reports, Moroccan Interior Minister Chakib Benmoussa said Sunday.”
+++++++++++++++++
Andy, one of the ‘issues’ with any statement made by a Moroccan official is that if media reports are to be believed ‘officials’ have a habit of turning a blind eye to some of the less savoury activities that allegedly go on in their country. I think the whole Madeleine in Morocco thing is unlikely, but that’s just my opinion.

Oh you are a card! Such an amusing post.
What would you say? Oh yes, zzzzzzzzzzzz.

Something really does stink about this lot - the forensic reports surely could not possibly take this long - there is only so many tests which can be done on a sample and only so many results, no matter how many times the samples are put through the “spinner” the results should not take this long,. Maybe the results are so damning that the authorities have to have a plan in mind to deal with all the perimiter issues like the fund money, the two other kids, the house, the mortgage and Clarence………..the list goes on. This is more than a case of finding out what has happened to Madeleine - finding the truth is just the start - everything else will be a nightmare to sort out -even if the MCs are not directly involved, as soon as the truth comes out there will be a hell of a lot of sorting out to do. I think that the police are absolutely sure of what happened but they have to tie up the looseies before they can make charges

It’s obvious now….no wonder they don’t want us to see photos from that week - they are missing some clothes!!!

for you, maybe
November 4th, 2007 at 10:40 pm
Stevo,
Could you please post a link to the playground photo?
November 4th, 2007 at 10:39 pm
I believe Madeleine was disposed of fully clothed. The McCanns know that releasing photos from the week in PDL will show clothes that they are not now in possession of.
Look at this image of Madeleine at Ocean Club: http://tinyurl.com/2s22lz
Look at the toes on the shoes. They are uncannily like Baby Grace’s
November 4th, 2007 at 10:38 pm
915 stevo
by jingo - you could be right. And the clothes they held up in one of the photos for the “search” - were they the ones she was wearing at the pool? Not that it matters - your analysis works anyway…
