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

“How does the news of the film/book deal make you feel about the McC’s? Just interested to see if it has swayed any opinions.”
Frankly, it makes me very angry, and quite upset that I was not selected as the director and producer of the film. I may go ahead and make my own film anyway, though.

“my heart bleeds for him and the rest of that family who were so niavely taken in by such evil swine.myra hindley and ian bradys family believed in their innocence at the start.rest asure reality will hit family mccann.”
Did people really believe them totally innocent, or were they just putting on a show of loyalty? Personally, I think most in the family believed the McCanns were guilty but they figured “What’s in it for me if I say so? Nothing. What happens if they are not convicted and I had not supported them? Banishment from the family, and no royalties from book sales and box office booms.” Also in the back of their minds, some of them are thinking that they might some day stage their own abduction, in case they decide to weed out one or two of their own brats. They know they could say it was a “copycat” abduction, or that it is a “serial abductor” obsessed with the McCann family. And they will know they can count on the support and sympathy of the whole McCann clan during their time of tribulation.
Actually, a lot of these McCann haters are just jealous, because in similar circumstances their own family would immediately spill the beans, rat on them, and steal all of their property, even if they were completely innocent. The McCann family is not like that. It has an aristocratic quality of ethical refinement, and cherishing of traditional values such as loyalty and money.

Cuddle cat on high self (there is not one in the appartment bedroom) oops no i changed my mind - was on the bed..

I suggest that you pre book your tickets to the McC movie (about Madeleine) which features Madeleine for about the first 5 minutes of a 200 minute film, actually scratch that you are probably writting the script while we speak…

As it’s not an operating system I wouldn’t have said that.
As mobile phones represent the largest number of computers in the world and there are billions of memory cards all using the FAT32 filing system it is you that still talks bollocks.

“IMHO, if they are serious about helping they could possibly consider going back without waiting for an invite”.
Especially as they say they are completely innocent.

And so was Joann Cipriano’s mother and look what happened to her!!!
+++++++++++
Yes, she was found guilty!
You’re “defence” of the McCann’s is based not on any proof of “their” innocence but on the “possibility” that there may have been some wrongdoing in another unrelated case. The allegation to which you imply are as yet unproven. Even if they are ever proven it doesn’t automatically follow that their has/is any similar wrongdoing on the part of the PJ in the Madeleine case.

411 chenier - gerry works for UHL trust Kate works for an agency providing locum GP’s in leicestershire /rutland - being pedantic i know but only G is their problem..
Can you remember how much his research grant is for? We should find out who’s funding it, UHL have ‘lost’ lots of money on their proposed redevelopement scheme this year - hence a new CEO (old one retired - hum - unfortunatley imo) research grants are valuable currency in ensuring ones employment status.
I’ll try to look up details - coz some of G’s relatives works for pharmacutical companies don’t they? might be an interesting sideline ..
got to go now am late
happy sleuthing

We’ve had this conversation before haven’t we Karen? You know who I am!!
I check every so often when I’m bored at the desktop that has an internet connection! Currently recuperating so time-wasting is allowed! I’m a fan of Anorak generally so check the other links (with few mails) more often.
For my sanity I now work on an unconnected laptop in my office halfway down the garden.

No…let me remind you. You never reply to my posts but you chose to have a go and make some ludicrous point about file operating systems. You were proved wrong but you persist in the little jabs and rumour mongering.
and just for info, the thing stevo referrs to is his ridiculous claim that deleting a file from a disk makes the file irrecoverable, which, like the baby grace crap (yes, she of the twice as long hair as madeleine) is a load of bollocks.
and i think you’ll find stevo, that you were the one banging on about fat32 not me.
i did, however, point out that the stuff you wrote about fat32 being the major operating system used by pc users was also bollocks.

Funny you should mention that; I’ve just been looking at the minutes of the last Glenfield Board Meeting, with especial reference to the bits where they exclude public and press for discussion on some topics…
A new CEO has been appointed and will take office in May; I doubt he wants anything to do with so negative a factor as G&K.

Porky Pig…well…I’m sure there’s a candidate for that character. Tweety Pie could play Cuddle Cat - because he’s used to being held around the neck by Sylvester.

All the hosting companies I use give comprehensive stats about visitors etc. It’s inbuilt and if you were as clever as you make out you are, you’d know that. You’d also know that an IP address is about as useful as a random telephone number. But no - keep perpetuating the myths and rumours and show yourself up each time.
You know the visitors to your site as much as I know the visitors to mine. Your “holier than thou” crap is just that - crap.
well i’ll reply to this one.
things have moved on since your spectrum days.
1. what made you think i was talking about you?
methinks you doth protest too much.
2. if you know anything like as much as you like to think you do, you’d see i wrote ’server variables’ not website logs, which, if you are unaware of the fact, do not record email addresses anyway.
what i’m talking about, as you are well aware, is people setting up sites, using windows help centre or whatever your choice of theft tool is, to obtain email addresses on the sly, and then
people changing names and threatening people on here who don’t know enough to not let it bother them.
don’t clarence me with your holier than thou’s thanks very much.
just bear in mind you won’t have any of my info on your site because i can spot a charlatan a mile away.

283…Meejician
Yes, Meeji, many here have written to their MP’s on Madeleine’s behalf.
The fact that no action may have been taken by those MP’s, reflects badly
on them, not on us.
Edit….
+++++++++++++
I don’t wholly agree Matt.. Your/our MP’s are just giving you/us the “establishment line that they can’t comment on an ongoing criminal investigation etc, etc…” Not exactly helpful I agree, however at least by writing to our MP’s they should be left in no doubt that “when” they can comment they are in no doubt that there is a significant body of public opinion that are at best “suspicious” of the McCann’s activities, in my opinion.
If there is anything like the alleged high level collusion/involvement that has been speculated in this case then you would that if/when the balloon finally goes up that the opposition MP’s would be only too happy to wade into the government? Oh look, pigs above Big Ben!
