Madeleine McCann: Her Blood, Official Tabloid News And Michaela Walczuch Denies
MADDYWATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann
DAILY EXPRESS front page: “MADELEINE: IT WAS HER BLOOD IN PARENTS’ HIRE CAR”
“New results sent to Portugal in the last few days show the blood samples could only belong to Madeleine, it was claimed” – claimed…
Portuguese newspaper Correio da Manha reports: “The definitive result of the tests leave no doubts for the Policia Judiciaria. The blood found in the McCanns’ car is that of Madeleine as well as those samples detected in the flat”
No doubt? So says a newspaper report that provides the basis to THE WORLD’S GREATEST NEWSPAPER’S lead story
Says McCanns’ spokesman Clarence Mitchell: “These reports are very distressing for Kate and Gerry, they are depressed that again wild rumour and speculation is being presented as fact. We wish Portuguese police would just get on with their investigation, come over to England and carry out the interviews with Kate and Gerry and their friends. All those interviews will prove, yet again, that Kate and Gerry have nothing to hide.
“As for the supposed DNA testing, we cannot comment on yet more unsubstantiated rampant speculation in the Portuguese press. It is ridiculous to suggest that Madeleine’s blood was in the hire car because she was never in it. It was hired more than 20 days after she went missing, which means it was impossible for her to have ever been in it”
A friend of the McCanns says: “They were in no way involved in her disappearance, reports like this just add to their anguish. We would also point out that low copy DNA is under review by police forces in this country following the outcome of the Omagh bombing trial”
But it is a sign of police progress, right?
THE SUN front page: “Maddie blood ‘in hire car’”
“The tormented parents of Madeleine McCann reacted in fury last night to new claims that DNA evidence backs the theory they killed her”
KATE AGONY OVER ‘WILD’ DNA CLAIM – Blood specks behind sofa and in car ‘are Maddie’s”. The scent of death?
A ‘wild’ claim repeated in the Sun…
“Now it is being claimed new and ‘definitive’ results from Britain support the police theory that Maddie was killed in the apartment and her body moved in a car hired 25 days AFTER she vanished” – Claimed by Portuguese newspaper Correio Da Manha, from where the Sun gets its news
The Forensic Laboratory in Birmingham says: “Tests are still being carried out. No final report has been submitted to the Portuguese authorities”
DAILY STAR front page: “MADDIE – Blood in car is hers OFFICIAL”
“BLOOD IN CAR IS MADDIE’S OFFICIAL – ‘No doubts’ after test on Renault”
“The findings appear to support the police theory that Madeleine was accidentally killed in the apartment and her parents disposed of her body to mask their negligence”
Only…
“But they come from low-copy DNA analysis – a controversial technique based on just a few human cells which was recently branded unreliable by UK police. Last month, Omagh bomb suspect Sean Hoey walked free after a judge decided this type of testing was not at a sufficiently scientific level to be considered evidence. The Association of Chief Police Officers then announced it was suspending use of the technique in criminal inquiries. And the Crown Prosecution Service in England and Wales is reviewing a number of cases in which it was involved. That means the results in Madeleine’s case could probably never be used in court”
DAILY MAIL: “Did Maddie witnesses mistake this friend of the McCanns for Murat”
As Anorak reprotered yesterday, David Payne, one of the so-called Tapas 7,9 etc., looks not a lot unlike Robert Murat
Mr Murat’s lawyer Francisco Pagarete says: “Robert has always said the witnesses were mistaken. He was not there that night”
“MR MURAT’S girlfriend Michaela Walczuch was yesterday forced to deny claims she had been named as a police suspect in the case. The Portuguese newspaper 24 Horas claimed the mother-of-one, 34, had been made an ‘arguido’, or formal suspect, alongside Mr Murat and the McCanns. Lawyer Mr Pagarete insisted he had been misquoted by the tabloid when discussing her. Police refused to confirm or deny the report”
DAILY TELEGRAPH: “Murat’s girlfriend ‘is Madeleine McCann suspect’”
“The Portuguese newspaper 24 Horas reported that Michaela Walczuch, 32, was made an arguida after a witness claimed to have seen her with a small girl two days after four-year-old Madeleine went missing last May”
He is an arguido. She is an aguida
“A spokesman for the Portuguese police said yesterday that she had ‘no information’ about Miss Walczuch being made an official suspect”
Or not…
“ARE spin doctors taking over the world? - The rise and rise of the profession is not confined to politics: even the McCann family, campaigning to find their daughter Madeleine, sought the help of a former BBC journalist, Clarence Mitchell, to manage their publicity”
DAILY MIRROR: “ NEW LEAD ON MADDY”
British tourist Gail Cooper says she saw a “mystery man hanging around Madeleine McCann’s holiday flat just days before she vanished”. Like Paul Gordon did
Ms Cooper say: “He was horrible looking man , really creepy, unkempt and dirty. He definitely wasn’t Portuguese. He scared me”
Is there more than one creepy man in Praia da Luz? Another oddball?
Says Cooper: “I’m sure this man had something to do with Madeleine’s disappearance”
THE SCOTSMAN: “New claims on blood in McCann’s hire car
“Blood traces found in the hire car used by Kate and Gerry McCann were from their missing daughter Madeleine, according to a Portuguese newspaper”
IRISH INDEPENDENT: “Please don’t make this into another Maddy’”
Amy Fitzpatrick is missing. She is Irish. Her mother lives in Spain. Amy is 15. she went missing as she walked home on New Year’s Day from a friend’s house where she was babysitting in Calahonda near Mijas in southern Spain
“Outside Amy’s home, a gated development called Riviera Del Sol, just outside Fuengirola, children played in the shrubland, oblivious to the fact a teenager had vanished nearby without a trace. Some poked through shrubbery, others rode their bikes. It was a very different scene to that when Madeleine McCann disappeared last summer in Portugal, when locals and ex-pats joined the search to try and find the missing girl. But the family does not want a repeat of the publicity which has surrounded her case. ‘Please don’t turn this into a circus,’ a family spokesman said last night. ‘Don’t make it another Maddy. Let the police do their job’”
There is only one Madeleine McCann – Her story so far

I imagine the film will have an 18 certificate so the drug taking/swinging scenes can be included. (IMO and alledgedly of course)
++++++++++++++
That’s utterly ludicrous! The film will be released by Walt Disney! Allegedly, IMO, etc, etc.

Jo,
The COMARE things has been discussed on here and a general view is that is why the Govt are appearing to shield the McCanns,whether it has anything to do with Madeleine’s fate no one yet knows, but just to speculate wouldn’t the diplomatic option have swung into full action and no press reports whatsoever

No - a hair shirt would be required and beating yourself with twigs, in fact, do that anyway.

Daisy, a ‘hairshirt’ is a garment made of horsehair which used to be worn as punishment and penance in medieval days. It had to be kept on for 40 days and was riddled with fleas ,sweat and all manner of nastiness, being beaten with birch twigs just added to the misery

That’s the point, Karen!
Putting forward absurd points of view, in a serious manner. You then have a reflection of the endless stuff we are being drip-fed by the McCs, their Clarrie or close friends and family. This brings home just how gullible they imagine the public to be, and how easily they expect us to digest their ludicrous informtion!

A source close to the McCann family said: “Donations from the public are still coming in but to sustain the fund properly, we will need larger amounts.
“If the media are prepared to make donations, we will take the money. There are a few propositions out there.

Yeah…theyve got a big family with fancy houses and life style…..AWFUL people.All of them

Re the film : “The source close to the McCanns warned that the couple will only be able to begin negotiations in earnest provided their status as official suspects - or arguidos - is lifted by Portuguese police.”
And they won’t go back to Portugal without arguido status being lifted.
It must be such a weight around their neck - it seems to be really interfering with their lives!
January 8th, 2008 at 12:35 pm
I’m glad they’ve announced that they want to make a film!
Look at ALL the comments after the article and count how many are sympathetic and how many are scathing. Seems like sympathy loses - BIG TIME!! Clarrie strikes again!

Nah, if they wanted to crucify the McCanns they’d do it gleefully. I think they identify with them because the McCanns are in the same social class.
Also the publics desire to have a Diana like outpouring overrode any common sense about unlocked doors, so slagging them off for neglect months after they ignored and excused it isn’t possible without the kind of backtracking that would look cretinous if the McCanns actually are innocent.

Basically casting aspersions on just about any one in order to divert away from the true instigators.

Vera,
I don’t think you have read many of my posts, but to let you know how I feel, here it goes. I did not cast anything. I tried to remain objective and tried to analyze every possible scenario in this horrible case. I could not bring myself to believe that parents could do something like this. It is just beyond my comprehension. I defended my points of view when challenged and I challenged other’s comments. That’s all. I strongly believe in “innocent until proven guilty”. That’s just the way I am.

i had to laugh at the fit cyclist who ate health food all the time that was on radio 4 yesterday.
went for a health check to give moral support to his wife, and ended up getting a triple by-pass because his arteries were full of shit.

Before doing that make sure your Middle class. Here’s a checklist.
1. Have you got geeky children?
2. Do you eat shit food when nobody’s looking?
3. Do you spend large amounts of money on the garden when you own the worst stereo system in the world?
4. Are you dangerously boring?
5. Are you victorian in manner (especially around Xmas time)?
6. Do you watch a hell-of-a-lot of scheduled prime-time telly (inspector morse, antiques road-show, bollox like that)?
7. Are you a Nazi?
If your answers are ‘yes’ then by all means swing away at the little bastards.
Great stuff I fit the bill, do you think I will get away with it???

That damn car and the 5 line defence…
1) we have nothing to do with Maddy’s disapppearance therefore Maddy was never in the car
You Don’t belive us?
2) well, anyway, there are wholly innocent explanations why ‘Maddy’ might be in the car - think of all those dirty nappies we had lying around to throw in there.
What you still don’t believe us?
3) ok ok, well low copy DNA is a discredited technique.
Blimey, you still don’t believe.
4) Hey what if we told you that after the PJ took there samples for analysis we had the car looked at and there was no DNA (left behind).
Flippin’ ‘eck you are a cynical bunch
5) Ahhhh forget it. Just show us the body…

It’s been debated before why somebody as smart and well positioned as CM would align himself so closely, when so many obvious doubts exist.
————————————————————————————————————————————
Just a thought, maybe the commical one would like to say other things but is overuled by his employers.
=================================
CM had no future, once Tony Blair had gone.
And at that point, someone prepared to pay him to stay in a place with an excellent climate, good food and plenty of good wine may have looked pretty tempting…

likewise: beardie, rowlink and george formby.
are you still getting private eye?
after i saw hislop defending the establishment about the diana thing on telly, i’ve lost confidence in it.
