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

It makes you wonder if Madeleine was abducted in order to make money and then it all went pear shaped and she had to go.
Which town…not been back to Mallorca in years but been plenty of times.

Rationalist, yes and she is very much friendly (?) to SteveT, who btw goes fishing, and drinks too much!
December 4th, 2007 at 6:52 pm
Post 637. I did not write the word bane yet it was tacked onto the end of one of my sentences. One definition of “bane” - archaic. something, typically poison, that causes death.
Explanation anyone???

Exactly, it’s sickening. They should use the money from the fund to pay this. Not make extra money with it.

At long last I have got Garth to bite. I must be getting better at this!!!
December 4th, 2007 at 6:45 pm
Garth.
Are you willing to consider the following-
Let’s say that a little girl named Agatha (and A. Christie wouldn’t mind so I’m using her name) disappeared under exactly the same circumstances as Maddie. Parents and friends did exactly the same thing. Behaviour completely the same.bane
If you were a detective for the PJ, you would have evidence that was being withheld from the public. The evidence you had strongly pointed to parental involvement. So of all the theories that have been discussed, which one would you consider to be the strongest?

What’s so sick about the posters etc. is that they were produced at a profit. If they used donated funds and sold them at cost it would be ok but they made money by accepting donations then they bought posters and then charged people to buy said posters!

Yeah right! What pub and what tourist place matey?

I don’t know Garth. I never mentioned a pub or tourist place.

The site is still selling merchandise:
http://store.findmadeleine.com/
The posters seem to have gone but you can buy t-shirts for 6.50 and wristbands for 2 quid.
If I had a missing child I’d give that stuff away or do it myself. I can’t believe you’d be in the frame of mind to want to make money off your missing child.

Hi there…waiting for the pumpkin to cool a bit before I puree it….Oh the Xmas shark??!!!
BTW where is Lulu? I need a mechanical shark fin for my spouse’s Xmas present!!!!
No, there’s is NO way that fish shaped object I consumed last night was ever any kind of fish…Shark is eaten in Australia..it’s called flake…it’s not bad…I didn’t even have a cardboard picture of a fish, let alone a shark to eat last night!!

No worries…
December 4th, 2007 at 6:39 pm
I don’t know if you still have to pay for the posters but in the beginning you most certainly had to pay for them.
I have a pub in a touristic place in Spain and thought it a good idea to put a poster up.
When I saw I had to buy it, I was disgusted.
The parents gave me the creeps the very first time I saw them, and when I saw I had to pay for a poster to find THEIR daughter… well, it confirmed my first impression of them and I let the plan go.
December 4th, 2007 at 6:39 pm
so are they back yet or still in orbit?
