Madeleine McCann: Her Last Words, A Play For Today And The Killer Intruder
MADDY WATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann
DAILY EXPRESS front page: “MADELEINE – DNA SECRETS LOCKED AWAY”
“A piece of lining from the couple’s hire car is being held in high-security storage at a laboratory in Birmingham”
Page 7: But just last week “sources close to the McCanns” said the couple’s tests on their Renault Scenic hire car – in which Madeleine’s body is alleged to have been carried – found “no DNA evidence linked to Madeleine”
But the “McCanns’ scientists” haven’t been able to check all the car – not the boot lining
Says the McCanns’ spokesman Clarence Mitchell: “We do not believe that this affects the results of our tests at all…The piece retained by the Forensic Science Service is extremely small. If anything has been found on it there is a wholly innocent explanation for it”
Says Madeleine McCann: “As she was being tucked up in bed, she said: ‘Mummy, I’ve had the best day ever. I’m having lots and lots of fun’”
“Intruder ‘had to silence her’” – A “chilling” account in Portuguese paper Publico says the intruder “probably suffocated her in an act of panic”
“’My girl was taken as well’” – Agents of Metodo 3 are investigating a link between Madeleine and Joana Cipriano – more on her here
Pages 30-31: “More extracts from the Daily Express’ book Madeleine: A Most Heartbreaking And Extraordinary Disappearance, aka Madeleine: The New Diana
DAILY MAIL front page: “MADELEINE – Was she killed by intruder INSIDE the apartment?”
Well..?
Page 5: “Madeleine ‘killed as she screamed at pervert prowler’”
The intruder is in the McCanns’ apartment… “Fearing that her cries would raise the alarm, he violently silenced her - accidentally killing her - and then grabbed her body and escaped, according to the new theory”
What evidence?
“Respected” Portuguese newspaper Publico has carried out a “chilling recreation of the supposed chain of events”. In Theory No. 432b the man seen by Jane Tanner is carrying a dead child. This theory is “gaining increasing strength at the centre of the police investigation”. More theories…
Publico notes: “An unexpected event thwarted the prospect of desire. A shout from the British child awakened from her sleep. The fear that she would be heard, the urgency to silence her, the violence, probably the suffocation and the unexpected death. All this is in minutes. Now one would have to take her out of there, close the door, escape quickly”
Intermission – ices, popcorn and a vital break for the toilet…
Says Clarence Mitchell: “We do not believe that this is what happened to Madeleine. There has been no evidence to suggest this happened in the apartment at all”
“CAR MAT MYSTERY” – Not only the boot lining but also “several other secret samples” are hidden away at the Forensic Science Service laboratory
“A LINK TO JOANA?” – Metodo 3 are looking over old cases, hunting for a clue, a new press release, a new lead…
DAILY MIRROR page 11: “’Perv killer of Maddy’”
More from Public’s play for today
THE SUN front page: “COPS’ SHOCK NEW THEORY – PAEDO ‘KILLED MADDIE’”
PAEDO!!!
Pages 4 and 5: A pervert sneaked into Madeleine McCann’s holiday apartment – and killed the terrified tot to shut her up when she screamed, police now believe”
PAEDO!!!
Back to Publico’s Maddy Play - Act 2:
Publico: “It would be easy for an intruder to get into the apartment to touch and smell the fragile little blonde girl with big eyes. It took an instant, but his warped sexual desire was thwarted when she shouted out
“So he had to shut her up. He turned on her and probably suffocated her in an act of panic”
Gerry McCann is a “heart surgeon” and Kate a “GP”. The McCanns live in a £500,000 house in Rothley, Leicestershire”
Such are the facts
DAILY STAR page 9: “MADDIE: VITAL DNA IS LOCKED AWAY IN SAFE – McCanns team has not seen car clues”
Why should the suspects get access to all evidence being compiled, possibly against them? Is it now standard practice for the defendant to read the police notes as the case is developing?
“Quiz for tapas friends”- Police to question the McCann’ co-diners
DAILY TELEGRPAH page 17: “Police ‘U-turn over Madeleine theory’”
“Madeleine McCann was killed by a paedophile in a moment of ‘thwarted desire’ before being taken from her Algarve holiday apartment, police investigating her disappearance believe, it has been claimed”
Publico: “All over in minutes. Now he had to get her out of there. Close the door. Flee as fast as he could”
And links to another case: Joana Cipriano, 8, disappeared from her home in the Algarve village of Figueria, 10 miles from Praia da Luz in September 2004. She has never been found. Her mother Leonor, 36, and uncle, Joao, 35, were convicted of murder after Ms Cipriano confessed to the crime during police questioning. She later retracted her confession, claiming it was forced during a beating by detectives, but was found guilty and sentenced to 16 years in jail. Her lawyers claim she is innocent and are appealing”
THE SCOTSMAN: “Just how much vilification do they have to suffer?”
“You have to hope that Kate and Gerry McCann stopped reading the papers a long time ago, that they have their news filtered though the calm compassion of Clarence Mitchell, the former BBC journalist turned family spokesman”

Something that has always puzzled me from the beginning is Maddie’s pyjamas - The pyjamas she was alledgedly wearing on the night she disappeared… I’ve mentioned my thoughts to my close friends and family and they can’t see where I’m coming from because if what I thought was true, surely it would have been picked up on…
Okay my concern is in the interview showing the physical replica pyjamas she was wearing and photographs of them later publicised… I don’t know about many of you but I wouldn’t remember exact clothing or where they were purchased from. The pyjamas in the picture didn’t look brand new they seemed freshly laundered and ironed… Were they similar pyjamas or exact replica pyjamas? If anyone can enlighten me about the pyjamas my mind will rest, if you agree with others I’ve mentioned it to, so be it but just thought I’d speak my mind for some food for thought. I may be totally way off as I’m not sure of all the facts but if I am right it raises a very interesting question! To me it just seemed they could be ‘THE’ pyjamas… If so, how would that be possible?

******************************
“Well, these pictures concur with what my toyboy and I noticed right from the beginning with the photo of Madeleine they used for publicity purposes - that she was wearing make-up.”
I’m not sure about your “toyboy” reference, but I have posted on the make-up issue a few times, saying that it was obvious, but others would not concur with me. So I thought I was the only one who thought this was important.
It is obvious that mascara and rouge are used. Also, hair dye and/or photo-shop alterations. I have seen the same picture (5th one in sequence above — the one with Madeleine in red dress) with long hair (that version picture is in one of the videoes linked above). So one then must ask: which is the “original” picture and why are the McCanns releasing two versions, one photo-shopped? My personal opinion is that the SHORT HAIR version is the original — it shows the make-up most clearly, the long hair hiding this…
Needless to say, either way , it shows the McCanns have been manipulating photos that they have presented to the public for identification purposes. Is this not inexcusable? The photos showing no coloboma were also said to be manipulated (according to Real Stig’s speculation).
So we have the FACT that the McCanns released VERY FEW recent photos of Madeleine, and of the photos released, many have been apparently altered. In spite of this, it remains evident that the McCanns applied make-up to girls of 2 and 3 years old, to make them look adult.
WHY?
There is no suggestion that they were entering the children in beauty contests. Was this just a “family custom”?

Agree - very interesting and thought provoking - no doubt you will suddenly be abducted.
How abolut ‘findbrandon’ as a name for the website? I could use a million quid - bloody mortgage.

im sorry but everyone is just guessing now as they have no idea where maddie is. if she a man was seen carrying a dead child why was this not brought up 200 days ago and why was he allowed to just walk away with her in his arms without being asked any questions. somewhere along the line someone is lying, someone out there knows who abducted madeline, one person could not of kept it to them selves some one else knows and i feel sick to think that they have not come forward and told anybody what they know. shes an innocent little girl who done nothing wrong, how can this happen to someone so full of life.

If the PJ were only to visit the FSS lab and talk with local police, would they still need permission? Who the hell is running this show?
November 28th, 2007 at 1:38 am
No Canada.I read the posts under yours and the Portuguese don’t seem convinced,I have since heard that the McCanns legal team would have to be informed of any visit by the PJ to British soil regarding the case,what a can of worms.
November 28th, 2007 at 1:33 am
Hi Maria
Noticed you say you’ll be away for a few days. Is that because you are expecting to be meeting up with the PJ? That was a saucy post, by the way - the one about the meat. Did I detect a hint of sarcasm from the lovely gentle Maria?

GORDON, GERRY, & CLARENCE MITCHELL
-Clarence Mitchell is the Head of Media Monitoring for the govt.
-He is also personal friend of Gerry, and has been representing Gerry
(on behalf of govt or himself? ) from the very beginning.
GORDON BROWN, ANDREW BROWN

COMARE, ANDREW BROWN, COMARE DIRECTOR, GERRY McCANN
-Gerry McCann is a member of a government quango called COMARE (Committee on Medical Aspects of Radiation in the Environment) which has repeatedly come out in opposition to campaigners who claim that childhood cancers are more prevalent around nuclear power stations
COMARE’s director happens to be a cardiologist based at the very hospital where Gerry and Kate first met, the Glasgow Western Infirmary. If COMARE’s contacts incorporate individuals in the broader nuclear industry, these might include Andrew Brown: Head of Media for Europe’s largest producer of nuclear electricity… and brother of Prime Minister Gordon.
Question: since when is a cardiologist have the experience to
comment on radiation?
Possible Answer: Training of Cardiologists in Radiation Protection
BELL POTTINGER, GERRY, GORDON BROWN, NUCLEAR POWER INDUSTRY

They have even coined a new word for the online/published briTish public; they call it the ‘Commentariat’ (a play upon the word ‘Proletariat’ - orginally coined to describe the lower or working classes).
Julia Hobsbawm’s ‘Editorial Intelligence’ describes itself on its website:
“Editorial Intelligence opens a door to a vital and growing world of print and online comment and opinion. What the ‘Commentariat’ says affects and influences the direction of public opinion and policy alike and with it, corporate reputation …
SKY NEWS and the GMC (General Medical Council) are clients of Editorial
Analysis. Please clarify and confirm?

Castle Craig Hospital
Directors
Peter McCann MA, ICADC Chairman
Dr Margaret Ann McCann, MB Bch BAO Medical Director
Dr. Michael G. McCann , MD , MA , DIH, MFOM Director
John L McCann BA ACIS Financial Director/Administrator
Castle Craig Hospital is located in 50 acres of grounds in the Scottish Borders. It is a residential hospital for the inpatient treatment of alcoholism and drug addiction. The hospital is registered with the relevant statutory body, namely the Scottish Care Commission. It is a major contractor to the National Health Service and is recognised by the major medical insurers in the U.K. Many insurance companies from other countries fund the treatment at Castle Craig. The hospital is a Preferred Provider to the U.S. Government under the Tricare programme and it is also recognised by the Dutch insurance companies.
There is mention of a holiday home in Gozo, Malta. Is this the same
uncle?
Peter and Dr. Margaret Ann McCann says”
We have worked together in the field of alcoholism and drug addiction since the early 80s. We founded, in the first instance, Clouds House in 1983 and ran it for five years before moving to Scotland and opening up Castle Craig which we have been running ever since.
Both myself and Margaret Ann have presented at many conferences, written papers and belong to a number of professional organisations. In particular Margaret Ann served on the Executive of the Medical Council on Alcohol and I have just been elected a Board Member of the International Council of Alcohol and Addictions. I was also the Founder of the European Association for Treatment of Addiction (EATA).
In our personal life we have been blessed with four delightful children, now aged from 18 to 24. Victoria is a graduate of Newcastle and Stirling Universities and has obtained an MSc in P.R. from the latter. Dominic is final year History at Edinburgh University. Felicity is in her second year at Bristol University Medical School and Peter is awaiting a place in Medical School. We all share an interest in sailing and are fortunate in having a lovely house in Gozo which was paid for many years ago with a small inheritance. We continue to have family holidays together. We also allow staff at Castle Craig and close friends to use the house and it has been a charitable auction prize on several occasions.
Castle Craig has an extended contracts with the US Defence Department treating military personnel for addictions.
Des Browne (our own Defence Sectretary - and another Scot) has been under increasing pressure to deal with our own force’s drink and drug problems (in light of the scandal brought about by the HMS Cornwall affair in April).
http://scotlandonsunday.scotsm…..=753452006/
It is entirely likely that given Castle Craig’s experience in treating US military personnel they have sough Peter McCann’s advice on treating our own military personnel.
Perhaps Caslte Craig even treated servicemen on board the HMS Cornwall, who knows.
That would certainly explain why they slipped into Iranian territory.
Here is something that Peter McCann wrote last year. It might lend weight to rumours about cabinet members and family members having used Castle Craig. See what you think:
“We also read today, about the inappropriate way that Liberal Democrats covered up on their former leader’s alcoholism. This is a typical response we see throughout industry and institutions when members of organisations try to cover up for their sick colleagues. It is quite disgraceful that politicians weld so much power while addicted and when their judgment must be warped. This applies to all political parties. Addiction must be confronted at all times and “tough love” applies to politicians just as much as to doctors, lawyers and family members. ”
PETER McCANN, CASTLE CRAIG, HOLLAND, GERRY
-Castle Craig has a branch in Holland. Gerry worked in Holland.
GERRY, JILL RENWICK, JOHN BROWN, GORDON BROWN
-Jill Renwick is a friend of Gerry, and she lives down the road or same
strees as John Brown, who is Gordon Brown’s brother.
-maybe nothing here, and just poor John Brown caught in it all.

Thank you once again for putting the McCanns’ case so nicely and pointing out to us that all the spin is correct. Also for your gallant efforts to try and convince everyone that Tanner had no reason to tell a lie.
I love the way you always add a little line at the end to tell us all how impartial you are.
You are being too gentle, Maria. Tell the crowd, they’ve got to believe you.
