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

Yes, I think there’s every possibility that M3 are some kind of money laundering scam. Considering the Fund’s directors are handling donated money where a lot of people think the Fund is a charity, they’re not doing a good job at convincing people they’re looking after the money wisely.
But guess what? They don’t have to. It isn’t a charity despite looking like one and as a private company Madeleine’s Fund: Leaving No Stone Unturned Ltd can spend the money how they like without being answerable to anyone - not even the people who donated.

“268 Hideki -maybe HMs government did get back to the zealous diplomat and told him not to pursue any further assistance of the McCanns. Maybe they sent him the message by courrier and it was lost somewhere along the way together with the CD ROMs.”
Maybe? Sounds like that definitely must have happened!

“After reading Gerry’s forensic book, I think that the police have been fooling with the T9 for months while gathering evidence. ”
What in the book leads you to think this? I had wanted to read that book so much. Maybe you could post some excerpts on your site? I would guess the Portuguese read it forwards and backwards.

The last bloke demanding money like that was another Irishman - Bob Geldof in 1985 banging his fist on the table saying “we want your money”.
===============================
I posted a while back pointing out that Bob Geldof was doing it for LiveAid, bless his little cotton socks.
I don’t think the McCanns can get their head around the idea that someone would actually do that to help starving children…

i agree with your analysis
i also think the delays in nailing the mcconns are connected with the “bigger fish” that the pj are after and they need time to make it all watertight.
the pj were insulted by the gutter press and now it’s payback time.
assuming the scale of the scam i think we may see the mcbroon government collapse
this could also have a bad effect on the give-away of northern rock to beardie branson
i am reminded of macmillan’s government being brought down by the tart christine keeler
it would be so nice to see mcbroon brought down by sniffer dog keela…

Yes, and he’s Mr Bombast of the Year too. But I just realised…he’s not even a Scot - he’s Irish. McCann is an Irish name and his family is Irish.

Sorry…missed your post. I replied to Ariel and said I think Desperate Dan. He’s a Scot and I’d vote for a cartoon character ahead of Gerry any day.
Also it’s a scam. Gerry is Irish so what the hell is he doing on that list?

All I can think of is that the trip was paid for by benefactors and in that case, you lose the power of choice. It has to be something like that because it makes no sense otherwise.

I’ve just been on the Find Madeleine website which I hadn’t seen for sometime (makes me feel nauseous). But couldn’t find any blog entry about 10 JUNE (when the El Mundo article says that Gerry and O’Brien maintained an incriminating telephone call).
Can someone access the old entries of Gerry’s blog?
****
Here is one from June 9th that was discovered on the Mirror forum:
G’s blog 9th June
“After this we headed down to Sagres which is the very most southwestern tip of Portugal. There is a very nice beach and we had lunch with the family. ”
So …. G was in the SW location June 9th. The report is that the phone call was made from there on June 10th–though G lied and said he was only 4 km from the resort, he was actually 25 miles into the area in question. I have always believed that hiding M would have required 2 trips, one to verify a place chosen by map to make sure it is desolate. The second trip to hide evidence.

I have always mantained that Clarence was a liablity.
He was personally responsible for my loathing of the couple.
There was no way he served the couple, he served his masters and I believe protected them.
When KandG first said they were being framed by the PJ, I thought no darlings you are being framed by those you believe are helping you.
So if there is anything or anyone bigger than them in this picture, I trust that the PJ will also nab them. But unlikely is the case. We will all be satisfied that truth has been found.
But as we all know, truth is like an onion, it has many layers.
Let us keep on looking and questioning, like all good citizens should.

324 - Stevo but either way private jet or scheduled flight… why drive 3 hours to Lisbon when you can use an airport less than 1 hour from where you are and at least 1 hour closer to Casablanca?
Have you any thoughts on that?

Well when have we last heard from him? Quite a while now is it not?
—————————
Saturday night; he was conveying the ‘McCanns’ fury’ at TV3 for failing to give them money.
Really warms the heart, doesn’t it?

Anyone know of any other sites which have them?

He says in that June 10 entry “We were surprised to learn that a 20 seat propeller plane was sent instead of the larger aircraft.”
I suppose “they” sent an aircraft. Perhaps the same “they” that took Madeleine.

Stevo Says:
“There’s always been suspicions over whether Gerry posts in this site.”
He probably still does. He is such a “hands on” type of guy.
Real Stig disappeared shortly after I challenged him on his statements about non-coloboma photos being altered by the McCanns. He never answered me on that, after he claimed that the most likely explanation was that the photos were altered. He said that, even though one had to zoom on the photos to see that there was no coloboma.
If Gerry is reading this, maybe he would like to confirm that he regularly altered photos of Madeleine?
