Madeleine McCann: The Scenic 17, Dr Denny Says And DNA
MADDY WATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann
DAILY EXPRESS page 21: “New DNA tests could unlock the mystery of lost Madeleine”
More DNA tests at the Forensic Science Service laboratory in Birmingham And this after the DNA tests proved inconclusive…
“Seventeen human cells could provide a major breakthrough in the Madeleine McCann mystery…The DNA samples are being examined by scientists in Britain and Portuguese detectives believe the evidence could unlock an investigation which is now in its eighth month”
The Tapas 7. The Tapas 9. The Scenic 17…
Guilhermino Encarnacao, head of the Policia Judiciaria in the Algarve, says: “We have asked the laboratory to carry out more tests and exhaust every possibility of obtaining conclusive results”
Says Forensic scientist Dr Ronald Denny (not working on the case): “A cell is negligible – you can just about see it under a microscope. It’s a sample someone would leave behind with the touch of a finger. But when placed with certain biochemicals a small amount of DNA grows to a size that can be analysed”
“GP Kate and heart consultant Gerry” are “both 39”
THE SUN page 15: “Only 17 cells of DNA in hol car”
“Cops looking for Madeleine McCann are banking on ‘a smidgen’ of DNA evidence. Scientists have found just 17 cells on samples taken from a hire car rented by Kate and Gerry McCann and their holiday flat”
Says independent forensic expert Dr Ronald Denny: “It is not a hopeless task. If they have 17 cells then they can carry it off very effectively in Birmingham, one of the leading labs in the world”
DAILY MAIL page 5: “Mission Impossible – Forensic evidence too poor to solve mystery of Madeleine, say police”
But Dr Denny is telling two papers otherwise…
A source tells Portuguese newspaper 24 Horas: “It is highly unlikely they will find a DNA connection…If everybody refuses to make statements, which is perfectly possible, we will be left with our hands tied. This is a case which could hang by a thread for years and we may never be able to prove what actually happened to that child”
But what about Dr Denny. Why don’t they ask Dr Denny?
Says Dr Denny: “A person, or their possessions, have to be present for the cells to come off”
DAILY MIRROR page 7: “Maddy: Smidgen of DNA will work?”
Dr Denny is on the case, or not. But the “independent British expert” does have an opinion which is able to share with all of us
DAILY STAR page 9: “MADDIE: IT’S ALL DOWN TO 17 CELLS”
Dr Denny is talking to Star readers…
“Top cop in blast at private eyes” – Former deputy chief constable of Manchester Police John Stalker says of Metodo 3: “I’m not impressed with these people at all. I’d be very surprised if they get anywhere”
This is the same Stalker who delivered “MY VERDICT” to Express reader back in October
“There’s a world of difference in following a paper chase and finding a flesh-and-blood child”
Or a newspaper chase…
DAILY TELEGRAPH page 11: “Madeleine tests are ‘mission impossible’”
Says a source in 24 Horas: “The samples reportedly include microscopic spots of blood from the Ocean Club apartment where Madeleine went missing and ‘bodily fluids’ and hair from the Renault Scenic hired by the McCanns 25 days after their daughter’s disappearance. The samples are so small that, while it will not be impossible to find a DNA link between the car, apartment and Madeleine, it’s highly unlikely The tests being carried out are extremely complex”
But Dr Denny says…
Says Clarence Mitchell: “Kate and Gerry’s friends have consistently said they are happy to be re-interviewed by police if necessary. Indeed, they are keen to help if it clears up any inconsistencies. They, like Gerry and Kate, have nothing to hide”
THE GUARDIAN and THE INDEPENDENT: “No Madeleine news today

Well, now that SKY is running Bruntie confirming a full match on Mdeleine’s DNA in the car, one begins to see why the McCanns are incommunicado…

Totje et al,
Addictive site/addictive “sleuthing”, however, I’m going to be/will have to be “sensible” and turn in. Tons of deadlines for tomorrow.
Sleep well & welterusten.

Ariel,
You’re right it seems an odd choice. On the other hand, what if:
G : We need a private investigator, that d*mnd PJ isn’t searching for M
K: Well, where on earth can we find a reliable good pi?
G: I don’t know, lets ask the Godfather
….
G: We’re looking for a good pi do you happen to know one
GF: Well, I’ll ask around, I know a pi, hired his services several times, in fact he’s in to fraud investigations, but perhaps he knows someone
….
GF : Hi Marco, M is abducted, the PJ isn’t working, he’s a total looser, do you happen to know a good pi to go out and check the tips and find her
Macho Man Marco: We’ll sure, don’t look no further, we can handle it. How much do you wanna pay?

Kris, honey, go to Disneyworld, get a job there (the 8th dwarf?) and don’t come back. If Madeleine appears we’ll let you know

My point is that the Maccas already know the ugly truth - the deal with Medtodo 3 is a kind of silent nudge nudge wink wink no-one looses scenario - apart from M of course.

unfortunately, if you count the number of people who post on Anorak, you’ll find there’s hardly any of us sleuthy intelligent types who take nothing at face value and disbelieve everything until it is proved otherwise. The majority of people are sheep and are donating to the Madeleine fund even as we speak. It’s awful but it’s true - how else could Tony Bliar have stayed in power so long?

I would like to think that you and I differ in that… I wouldn’t take the lost dog owners’ £50 and would tell them the ugly truth.
I think… this has not ever been put to the test. Perhaps if I were a director of Metodo 3 then I would have a different attitude. Or worse, just below director level with a director looking at me and saying “of course we should take this job… are you saying that we should refuse this revenue?”
Yeah, the more I think about it the more plausible your scenario becomes.

I just wrote a really long and boring post on Ritalin which has disappeared into the ether; perhaps it will turn up?
hope so !
December 4th, 2007 at 11:52 pm
I wonder whether there is a single person in the planet that still believes Madeleine’s been abducted
WHO THE FUCK DOES STILL THINK SO? (sorry, for the caps and for the swearword)
nice dreams amigos
December 4th, 2007 at 11:51 pm
1136 gerry sorry Kris
No need to shout, all thats been noted is that Motedo 3 are fraud specialists not particularly well known for missing persons - an odd choice it would seem to most of us

thanks - i’d hate to leave Anorak just as things might be gettin interesting - who am i kidding - I couldn’t leave Anorak if i tried - has anyone got a link to the 7 steps?
December 4th, 2007 at 11:50 pm
Kris I don’t have a theory because I don’t know enough facts to form one,I could follow the majority here and invent one from unconfirmed reports or sources close to,pointless exercise.Just interested as to how Gerry does not carry this smell of death if he is supposed to be up to his neck in it and the brains.

Wassaname, 621, mentions the Isle of Mann, what was mentioned days ago in the trannyfatty acid blog (as the place where Madeleine is safe and sound waiting for her “rescue”…) Anybody has heard about?
*****
Healy relatives, allegedly. But no stain on their character or dealings. So, best ignored.

Sorry cariño, had not idea (anybody reads everyday every post???? Nobody works?
———————————
Nothing to be sorry about; I just thought that Anorak should get the credit.
As to the working, my Anorak addiction fits in quite well.
I do something boring and then award myself some ‘me time’ on Anorak.
Feeling disheartened because my neighbours have been complaining about the noise involved in knocking the kitchen wall down…
December 4th, 2007 at 11:47 pm
WHAT IS THE CRAP SOME OF YOU ARE SAYING ABOUT THE METODO 3, I THINK AT LEAST THEY ARE DOING A BETTER JOB THAN THE POLICE AND INVESTIGATING PEOPLE’S STORIES UNLIKE THE PORTUGAL POLICE WHO ARE STUCK ON THE THEORY OF THE PARENTS AND 7 FRIENDS…. I THINK IT WOULD BE A VERY HARD STORY FOR 9 PEOPLE TO KEEP QUIET ABOUT, AND I DO NOT THINK THAT THERE IS ANY PROOF OF THE PARENTS HAVING TOLD ANY LIES YET!!!! BUT THERE ARE HOLES IN MURAT AND HIS GIRLFRIENDS STORY, SO WHY ARE THE POLICE IGNORING THAT FACT!!!
THE TEST HAVE COME BACK AND ONCE AGAIN THERE IS NO PROOF AGAINST THE PARENTS…… SO SORRY BUT I KNOW WHO I SO NOT BELIEVE AT THIS STAGE

Stop shouting, its rude

What?
I think you have discovered what we have all missed - of course they were related - all we need to discover now if is Hare originated in Liverpool
December 4th, 2007 at 11:47 pm
i just googled detective agencies in spain again and found a Daily Mail newspaper report dated the 4th that I’m sure wasn’t there this morning - am i going insane - is it time to leaveANorak for good and forget the Mccanns?
December 4th, 2007 at 11:46 pm

go to bed
feel that the PJ (so we too) is/ are close close close…
