Madeleine McCann: The Age Of Jose Anes, Gerry McCann’s Fury And Murat’s Nannies Know Best
MADDYWATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann.
THE SUN: “No one will ever stand trial”
Because no one has been charged with any crime?
Or: “NOBODY will EVER stand trial over missing Madeleine McCann because cops made so many vital blunders,” says the Sun. And so too says Jose Anes, 62: “Mistakes in the early hours demolished the entire case”
The ex-director of Lisbon’s police lab is “Portugal’s top forensic expert”, a billing the lab’s current director may dispute
Mr Anes says: “If the scene is not preserved in the first hours, all the hours of effort that follow are useless. I am utterly convinced — unless some new, concrete evidence suddenly emerges — the case will never reach trial”
But what of the evidence gathered so far, like the DNA samples found in the McCanns’ hire car?
“Maddie sniffer dog ‘was rigged’” - Gerry McCann is “FURIOUS” – as often he is. He “believes sniffer dogs used to find Maddie clues in the family’s hire car were MANIPULATED by cops”
Says a “source close to the couple”: “Gerry says a dog went up to the Scenic, sniffed around and went to head off. He watched the dog being brought back to the vehicle. Finally, it reacts around the boot area. Gerry was open-mouthed at that, he feels the dog was manoeuvred into a position where it could react”
And smell
“Murat pals ’saw him near flat’” – “SUSPECT Robert Murat was PALS with British holiday nannies who say they saw him the night Maddie vanished, it has emerged”
Good friends? “And at least two of the girls knew him well enough to be on first name terms”
That’s close, eh
“A source confirmed yesterday that he did befriend several girls, adding: ‘A lot are attractive and he made a beeline for them. When they were asked who was near the apartment that night, several mentioned Murat”
DAILY MAIL: “Madeleine: Forensics expert says inquiry is ‘complete waste’ because of police blunders at apartment”
Says Jose Manuel Anes: “Huge amounts of money were spent but if, in the first hours, the due precautions for the preservation of the crime scene were not taken, all this hard work goes down the drain. We can spend rivers of money which will all go down the drain if the crime scene is not properly isolated”
The McCanns’ spokesman Clarence Mitchell says: “It is alarming to hear that Mr Anes has this view. All we want, and have done throughout, is to ensure the operational police side of this has been done in an effective and efficient manner as possible”
And why is Mr Anes – “the 62-year-old” - speaking out now? Because he’s making his comments known in a book called The McCanns’ Guilt – not that the case will ever, come to trial, you understand
“Madeleine: Gerry’s fury at ‘bungling’ dog handlers” – More Gerry McCann fury
DAILY STAR: “MADDIE COPS HIDE WITNESS”
Says the paper: “The key witness in the Madeleine McCann inquiry was in hiding last night after fleeing Portugal” – Jane Tanner? Kate McCann? Gerry McCann? No, the unnamed Portuguese tapas waiter…
“Pals say he is terrified his identity is about to be revealed and claim he is also scared of British and Portuguese government influence in the probe…Friends add that he is worried about the private eyes hired by Gerry and Kate McCann, both 39, to help find their daughter”
One former work colleague of the waiter says: “He does not want to be involved in any of this. Through no fault of his own he finds himself at the heart of this worldwide mystery”
DAILY EXPRESS: “MADELEINE: WITNESS GOES ON THE RUN ‘TO PROTECT HIS EVIDENCE’”
“THE key witness in the missing Madeleine McCann case was in hiding last night after fleeing Portugal”
“POLICE WERE ‘SIDETRACKED’ BY MCCANNS” - Former police crime scene chief Jose Manuel Anes is “ONE of Portugal’s top forensic experts”
The WORLD’S GREATEST NEWSPAPER investigates. Mr Anes is “71”
And “last night hinted that Kate and Gerry McCann were partly to blame for the flawed investigation into their daughter’s disappearance”. Although the Sun says it was those bungling Portuguese police (see above)?
“They should not have been thinking of the poor little parents but I understand the human dimension and the pressure which immediately involved the investigators. Sometimes the police are too human. The police must be absolutely objective. Somebody’s suggestions and complaints connected to a person’s disappearance should be set aside while the evidence is being gathered. In the moments immediately following the occurrence the goal is to gather everything and preserve everything”
Not bungling, rather too caring; too human
DAILY MIRROR: “McCann DNA clue ‘useless’”
Jose Manuel Anes is 62. He is the retired head of Portugal’s police science laboratory.
He tells the Mirror, and everyone else: “I fear the case will never reach trial” - and even if it did, no jury would be able to convict anyone.
BBC: Audience for BBC News 24 peaked in 2007 at 8.2 million in the week ending 1 July for the bomb attack on Glasgow Airport and at 7.9 million for the story of the kidnapping of Madeleine McCann in the week ending 13 May

“Splendid, now even the Portugese rossers are saying that the PJ screwed up in not securing the room.
How the Doctors McCann must feel at being accused by these incomptent copper.”
I appreciate the version of the “Daily Express”:
“ONE of Portugal’s top forensic experts last night hinted that Kate and Gerry McCann were partly to blame for the flawed investigation into their daughter’s disappearance. He claimed investigators made the mistake of being thrown off the scent after the McCanns insisted straight away that their daughter Madeleine had been abducted. Mr Anes said it led to senior detectives missing vital clues at the family’s apartment.”

I can’t help looking forward to the announcements on the 26th, from Metodo3, Clarrie, the fund directors, and others.
Will the press run it and go for in depth interviews ?

Sorry - maybe I missed something, but the article in CM says that the letters will be sent this week.
Have we reasons to believe that these letters will not be sent?
Again sorry if i missed something.

Sorry Rockhopper I was under the obviously misguided impression that no one has been charged, with all this mountain of evidence I must have been mistaken, sorry just refresh my memory, who has been charged I must have missed it
————————————————————————————————————————
Don’t worry you haven’t missed anyone being charged….. yet.
I know it’s bloody annoying for those who have already made up their minds, but we all have to be patient, the police collect evidence, sometimes this process can continue for years before charges are brought. Keep watching, be patient, the PJ will (I hope) get to the bottom of this. case

I accept that all you say is relevant for trying to prove the truth of the acts of the people responsible for Madeleine being headline making news!
Not very relevant to anything else though, as it is generally accepted by most informed people that ’stranger abduction’ is the remotest of possibilities and could only have occurred if the T9 are not giving accurate timings.

The McCanns had that rooom scrubbed clean before 3rd May and they allowed anyone who wanted access until the police arrived - incredibly some 40 minutes later (no, not a traffic hold up or the travel distance, but a Priest was needed urgently to find Madeleine before the police were even called - yep, ludicrous!).
Madeleine appears in no ‘normal’ photographs on May 3rd. There is now ‘reasonable doubt’ as to the nature of the only two photographs presented as ‘evidence’ - neither has any witness validation and one is an outrageous ‘paste’ of Maddies image.
The only way these criminals will escape is through intervention which has nothing to do with the law or justice.

Ferdi:”This gives me a hint about the nature of the allegedly repeated interviews with the alleged waiter.”
Hideki:”Care to share your thoughts, rather than allude to them?”
The key questions would be: Who from the staff did know how much about the child watching system the parents practised? With whom did those who knew about it share their knowledge? Why were the waiter(s) so observant about the whereabouts of the parents anyway?

“Here’s a prediction.No approval of more interviews will be forthcoming - from the Prosecutor. Sometime in the new year, the PJ will be forced to open the case files, and to admit their case was tissue thin. And they’re also going to have to answer for some highly questionable tactics….”
I’m afraid I don’t follow you in your predictions:
1. The letters asking for more interviews have been sent this week from Portugal (via EuroJust) to British Foreign Affairs office. The letters were sent by the Ministry of Justice in Portugal with the stamp and signature of the public prosecutor. What are you saying that no approval of more interviews will be forthcoming?
2. The PJ will be forced to open the case files? I’m not sure I understand what you are saying. But to your benefit please note that the period of the investigation phase will expire early in January 2008. At that time the PJ will deliver its findings of the investigation to the public prosecution. The prosecutor will then decide if there is enough substance to pursue charges against anyone. That being the case the prosecutor will explain what charges are being brought and throughout the court proceedings you will have access to the evidence compiled (as in the UK or any other country). The public prosecution may decide that there is no evidence to pursue charges and therefore archive the case. Should that be the case, the defense lawyers of the arguido’s will be informed of the details of the investigation that led to the arguido status of their clients and so will I expect the broader public. So could you clarify what exactly are you saying that files will be open?
3. Which questionnable tactics are you talking about? Bluffing? Is that more or less questionnable than doctoring the picture of an innocent brazilian shot in the London tube to make him look like a terrorist? Please elaborate on which questionnable tactics have been used by the PJ.

No certainly not, but I read somewhere that Metodo3 know where she is and have promised that she will be home before Christmas, and that the McCs are putting out presents for her under the tree, so clearly they believe it as well, which gives us only another 6 days before we all have to apologise humbly and publicly for having doubted them.
Or have I misunderstood ?
——————————————————–
Probably.
You have to bear in mind that quadratic equations have two solutions.
On the one hand Metodo3 are hot on the trail, and will bring the bairn back for Christmas.
On the other hand they are a bunch of greedyshysters and the McCanns have been cruelly deceived due to their unfortunate inability to find another detective agency prepared to tell the world what the McCanns wanted the world to hear.
