Madeleine McCann: Michaela Walczuch At The Door, JonBenet Ramsey And Metodo 3 ‘A Pup’
MADDY WATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann
SUNDAY MIRROR: “Did they want my girl?”
Karen Sixsmith is in conversation with the Mirror. It is an “EXCLUSIVE”. She is in an apartment at the Ocean Club, Praia da Luz. It is a month before Madeleine McCann went missing
A woman knocks at her door. She claims to be a Jehovah’s Witness. “German-born” Michaela Walczuch is a Jehovah’s Witness, or has been. The “mysterious woman” at the door is with a man.
Says Sixsmith: “It was a blonde woman, 35 to 40 years old, English-speaking. She had a pamphlet and I knew straight away that she was a Jehovah’s Witness. She asked if she could come into the apartment to talk about her faith. I took the pamphlet from her and closed the door. I now think it may have been Murat and his girlfriend”
Michaela Walczuch is 34
Karen has a daughter called Kate – “Kate is strikingly similar to Madeleine…Kate would have stood out a mile with her blonde hair and blue eyes - just like Madeleine”
Says the Mirror: “Her testimony - given to the Sunday Mirror so we could pass it on to the McCanns’ private investigators Metodo 3 in Barcelona”
NEWS OF THE WORLD: “Snatch bid last year at Maddie flat”
“A man tried to kidnap a child at the same apartment Madeleine McCann vanished from SIX MONTHS before she went missing,” says a British nanny who “caught the pervert trying to climb in through the ground floor window while a baby slept inside”
DAILY EXPRESS: “BABYSITTER SAW WINDOW MAN”
A source says “A babysitter has given detectives a statement in which she claims she caught a man trying to climb in through a window of apartment 5A – the apartment later occupied by the McCanns”
THE PEOPLE: “SICKENING SMEAR CAMPAIGN - FAMILY’S EMOTIONAL PLEA FOR MISSING DAUGHTER’S RETURN”
“Cops spent days investigating a theory the couple did it because they were desperate for cash”
It is a “sickening smear” making headlines in Portuguese paper 24 Horas
“NO QUIZ FOR MURAT LOVE” - Tuck Price, “a pal of German born Walczuch”, reveala: “I know for sure she’s been going to her Jehovah’s meetings and I know for sure the police haven’t contacted her. If this was true I’m sure the police would have been on to her”
“Find Maddie and give us a miracle for Christmas..” - “Maddie’s grandfather Brian Healy revealed how the family are convinced that she is alive and how they are now hoping for the ultimate Christmas miracle.” Says he: “We will all buy her a Christmas present and they will be under the tree waiting for her when she comes home”
GLASGOW SUNDAY MAIL: “Fury Over ‘Maddie Sold’ Slur”
An “outrageous slur”
A source says: “For several days the judicial police team investigated the possibility that the child had been sold by her own parents because of financial difficulties”
DAILY STAR: “MADDIE: 10 NEW SUSPECTS”
“Spanish investigators hunting for Madeleine McCann have narrowed their search to a hit list of ten paedophiles, we can reveal. Detectives working for the Metodo 3 agency are blitzing locations in Europe and Africa to find the known sex offenders”
Why this ten? Why ten?
Says Clarence Mitchell: “We have every confidence in Metodo 3. They can get to places faster and work quicker than anyone else and have the capacity to work worldwide”
BURNLEY EXPRESS: “Girls’ symbolic silence for Madeleine McCann”
Chelsea Gallagher and Gemma Lee, both 13, raised £450 for the Madeleine McCann Fund with a sponsored cuff-and-silence.
“For an entire school day, Chelsea and Gemma, 13, were handcuffed together and remained silent.” Says Chelsea: “The handcuffs symbolised the people who will be caught, and the silence because we haven’t heard anything about Madeleine”
DAILY TELEGRAPH: “Madeleine McCann: is there no hope left?”
“Bristling with bravado before the television cameras last week, Francisco Marco, the portly boss of the Spanish-based detective agency Metodo 3, sneeringly dismissed the Portuguese police investigation into the disappearance of the couple’s daughter, Madeleine, as ”bumbling”, and boasted: ‘’We know who the kidnappers are and we are very, very close to catching them.’ Off camera, he admitted: ‘No, I can’t disclose any more yet. But I will be proved right.’”
Marco will get his man. A PI always does. Sign the contract. Pay the fee…
A source “close to” the McCanns says: ”The harsh fact is that they were pinning their remaining hopes on Marco’s outfit when they hired them on a six-month contract in September. But, in the past few weeks, they have conceded that they might have been sold a pup. There’s no doubt they’ve worked round the clock, but they don’t have a lot of experience with this type of investigation”
But there are for months left on the contract…
THE GUARDIAN: “Panorama walk-out over McCann film”
“Why did TV journalist David Mills, the producer of a Panorama film on the McCann affair, quit the project before it was transmitted last week? The Observer’s David Rose reveals the inside story of the latest row to hit the BBC’s flagship show”
Sensationalism? Tabloid journalism? Crime as entertainment?
Mills wrote a script. It was not used. “His original film would have compared Madeleine to the JonBenet Ramsey case in Colorado, about which Mills has made three previous documentaries. After the body of JonBenet, a child beauty pageant winner aged six, was found in her parents’ Boulder home, they were vilified by the police and media, despite their continued insistence that they had nothing to do with her death. They claimed she had been killed by an intruder…Years later DNA evidence proved beyond doubt that JonBenet had been killed by an intruder. John Ramsey told Panorama: ‘It’s a life-time damage. No question about it.’”

Do we think Clarrie’s dismissal of the Christmas present idea as sentimental guff was under instructions, or was he voicing his own opinion to the media?

Tanner has turned - some pointers beginning with “s”:
1. Seven people in fear of charges of neglect and perverting the course of justice
2. Spooks - security services involved.
3. Secret deals crack cases.
4. Several different versions of story, which all goes to debunk the abduction theory, big part of the defence if McCanns are charged.
4. Six months media silence - why would Tanner suddenly appear on TV now?
5. Secrecy law - Tanner couldn’t have appeared on Panorama without blessing of Portuguese authorities.

One thing seems clear, since the beginning: Tapas group are hiding something. And British tabloids, which followed Princess Diana everywhere, seem to keep a very respectful distance to the McCann friends. British journalists are around Robert Murat’s girlfriend house the all day. There isn’t one British journalist near the houses of David Payne, Matthew Oldfield, Jane Tanner, Charlotte Pennington or Najova Chekaya, that strange fitness instructor that had a different version of events on May 3. I remember previous cases when British tabloids have placed dozens of photographers on the trail of people connected to cases that were a good front page story. In this case, almost two dozen people with a good knowledge about what happened are able to go on with their daily routine, without a single journalist or photographer crossing their way. British journalists have orders not to disturb anyone connected to the McCann family. They know that only news that supports the claim of innocence of the McCann are accepted by editors, following their bosses’ orders. That’s why they know a lot of things that people can’t see on The Sun or Daily Mail. Because they can’t publish it. So, they post at a few chosen message boards and forums - usually, at the Mirror’s forums. And they talk with friends and colleagues, and they call other friends and colleagues, to give some tips and some information about the McCann, because they know they can’t publish that information in the British Press. For the Media tycoons, the McCann must be innocent. They have to be innocent, whatever the reality is. I wonder why a couple of the richest businessmen in UK need the McCann to be innocent. Who do they want to please?

Just to liven things up a bit while my toyboy mixes me a cocktail which I will soon sip in the jacuzzi in our luxurious bathroom,surrounded by scented candles, in our penthouse flat in Mayfair, which is just a pied-a-terre, as we have a mansion in the country as well… here’s one I made earlier:
There once was a doc named McCann
Who really was just a big ham
He shot off his mouth
Approved by his spouse
And messed up his corporate plan

Can’t say No Says:
I don’t think it means anything. Wikipedia says this:
“I Am the Walrus” is a 1967 song by The Beatles, written by John Lennon and credited to Lennon-McCartney.[1] Lennon later claimed he wrote the first two lines on separate acid trips.[2] The song was used in the Beatles’ 1967 television film and album Magical Mystery Tour, and was released as the B-side to the #1 hit “Hello, Goodbye”.
Lennon composed the song by combining three separate songs he had been working on. Additionally, when he learned that a teacher at his old primary school was having his students analyse Beatles’ lyrics, he added a verse of specifically nonsensical words designed to confuse listeners.
The walrus within the song is a reference to the walrus in Lewis Carroll’s The Walrus and the Carpenter. Lennon later expressed dismay at learning that the walrus was the villain within the poem (see below).
….
Here are the full lyrics:
I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together.
See how they run like pigs from a gun, see how they fly.
I’m crying.
Sitting on a cornflake, waiting for the van to come.
Corporation tee-shirt, stupid bloody Tuesday.
MAN, you been a naughty boy, you let your face grow long.
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen, I am the walrus,
goo goo g’joob
Mister City P’liceman sitting
Pretty little policemen in a row.
See how they fly like Lucy in the Sky, see how they run.
I’m crying.
I’m cry————ing, I’m crying.
Yellow matter custard, dripping from a dead dog’s eye.
Crabalocker fishwife, pornographic priestess,
Boy, you been a naughty girl and you let your Knickers down.
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen, I am the walrus,
goo goo g’joob.
Sitting in an English garden waiting for the sun.
If the sun don’t come, you get a tan from
Standing in the English rain.
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen, I am the walrus,
goo goo g’joob, goo goo goo g’joob.
Expert texpert choking smokers,
Don’t you think the joker laughs at you? (ho ho ho, he he he, ha ha ha)
See how they smile like pigs in a sty, see how they snide.
I’m crying.
Semolina Pilchard, climbing up the Eiffel Tower.
Elementary penguin singing Hare Krishna.
Man, you should have seen them kicking Edgar Allan Poe.
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen, I am the walrus,
goo goo g’joob, goo goo goo g’joob, goo goo g’joob, goo goo goo g’joob, goo goo
(rhythmical speaking along with juba’s).
Juba juba juba, juba, juba, juba, juba, juba, juba juba. Juba juba…..
(speaking)
–Repeat (eventually juba’s will stop) and fade until end.–
during the fade out background vocals:
[Simultaneously:] ‘Everybody smokes pot’ and ‘Oompa, oompa, stick it up your joompa’ [jumper]

kids,asleep,wife doing the ironing,this is a mix of peter o and ade magicians hand and the tanners.
Who has the biggest time difference so far in their story,not even gerry can back up tanners story she saw him with wilkins.
Into hearsay now,had children same day,same time……..
No -one has ever stated madeline was theirs,gerry the father yes ,but theirs…
Maybe ,just maybe,a little arrangement made when on holidays REAL mum could spend time with HER daughter.
So if tanner was the donner,only one to see abductor,obrien gone looking after sick child,
THEY HAVE TAKEN HER,calmed downed by tanners sighting of abductor,
GERRY,sure she is being looked after like a princess,dosent believe tanner,she is safe with them somewhere
Smell of death in car ,tanners still in pdl at the time,body moved…….
EGG MAN,then no face man ,WHO TANNER,
why dont the mccanns shout we know who did it……..
reason number 1,they are dumb enough to believe tanner…..
number 2,she was LENT,to tanner and obrien,and cant say why,….
OR aliens,just an idea………………….

“4) You don’t know what happened to your little girl BUT, never speak about Robert Murat, when journalist ask about him, you say “No comment”, NEVER AGAIN you have mentioned him in interviews or TV programs…
That men, THE ONLY ARGUIDO APART FROM YOU BOTH is nothing. Simplys, HE DOESN’T EXIST…
Bizarre”
Not bizarre at all, I think they are just following the very wise principle of ‘do unto others as you would have them do unto you’
Gerry even publicly stated that people should treat him as innocent until proven otherwise. But of course, he gets no credit here for that, whatsoever.
Now you are even suggesting the dignity and fairness the McCanns show Murat by not making any comment, is bizarre.
Incredible, no matter what they do, no matter how decent, someone here will try and put a negative connotation to it!

Another day of daft headlines - does anyone still take any of the stories seriously? The inevitable “heartwarming” Christmas miricle nonsense along with the odd “sickening slur” plus a sighting or two to add to the mix. Latest in the hotseat as current suspect seems to be the German woman who, in common with Madeleine, is described as blonde when she is’nt really.
I don’t know if the misssing child is dead or not but this story shows no sign of dying!
