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

Dont” know what your post is referring to but it is the BRITISH Embassy in every Country
and Britain combines England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland which are seperate
Countries.
hope you don”t think I”m being a busybody, just trying to explain why Gerry McCann
would be Scottish, if born in Scotland.

is it true JT said “I carried her” ? I did not watch the Panorama program. If it is true why do not people talk about it? It was a BIG slip. I remember people commenting on the descrption she gave of the abductor and saying she was innadvertly describing herself. Very strange.

Rosemary, the police already (low profile though) published a description of the girl WITH those marks way before the McCanns did.
———————————————
Way before? I don’t think so.
Philomena McCann, BBC website 4th May: “She’s an absolutely beautiful, wee blonde girl, blue-green eyes - one distinguishing feature is that one of her pupils runs into the iris of her right eyes. She’s an absolutely gorgeous wee girl.”
That day posters of Madeleine with the coloboma clearly showing went up all over Praia da Luz, and soon afterwards all over Europe.

kate looks like a bullying sneaky type, the type of person i would avoid at all costs. She doesnt open her mouth much when she speaks, coule be because it looks as though she has it filled with cotton wool! Not very deep and meaningful i know but the vibes she gives off are pure evil

WTF,
i’ve seen too many photos of Kate (more so than Gerry) bearing expressions that reek of distrust. like she expects the worst from these snappers and their reporters. i look at that and i think she doesn’t have a clear conscience.
(btw, a DEVOUT Catholic would have no hesitation in ‘clearing his conscience’ - through confession!!!)

Ariel,
I have two Welsh parents, I was born in South Africa. I do not consider myself to be Welsh, I am a South African!
December 4th, 2007 at 8:49 pm
Im sure it was the english embassy who gave outstanding help to one of its citizens[Subjects], in the aftermath of the debacle. Thus Mr McCann is English.

765 - Taybie the Saxon wrote: “And surely by now if the ’scent of death’ had been detected on the Tapas 7, Murat, Malinka, the MW staff et.c we would know about it…”
REPLY: But, Taybie the Saxon , we already do know about it.
There was a report in several newspapers back in September that a house in Devon had been searched by Eddie the cadaver sniffer dog from South Yorkshire Police, and that he had found the ’smell of death’ on an article of clothing found in the house. This was in connection with the investigation into the death of Madeleine McCann. Russell O’Brien and Jane Tanner live in Devon.

Tony Bennett,
hiya!
scent of death at house in Devon, on particular items of clothing, and scent of death in a presumably adjacent apartment at the Ocean Club. i wonder how closely related these two are

Matt, I’m in a hurry. I know you would never ever accuse me of “doctoring”
I followed that link and checked it with my google.
This link (475) also stated :

Hair: Straight blond hair
and the brown spot too.

Sorry got confused - Gerry born here to Irish parents (same as me) Usual saying is that if a man is born in a stable it does not make him a horse - i.e. he would still be Irish - as I consider myself - sorry no offence intended - I
