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

Stevo, by the way
What about a civilian campain in favour of the Portugal tourism industry (something like: “Portugal is worthy… and safe”
A campaign that should run after the trial, of course, and after a fair veredict. We can think it over, IMO

This is tedious so it’s my last post to you on it. But for the benefit of those who doubt whether files can actually be deleted and recovered - even by forensic specialists the last sentence here spells it out simply. Like I said before. When you’ve attained a proven level of expertise in this subject, come back and argue.
Forensic recovery
The fact that data deleted from a computer is not deleted at all, and can be recovered relatively easily, is a good thing for the many people who delete files accidentally, but a bad thing for those who actually want the data they delete to really be deleted. To meet the needs of those who require high security for their data, data security software suites or privacy tools such as Privacy Guardian or Privacy Suite have been developed. These tools don’t just remove deleted files from the Windows Explorer folder, but overwrite the disk sectors that held the data before releasing them for reuse, so that the files can never be recovered, even by a specialist.

It took me more than an hour to realize the movie news are for real.
This whole tragic story has gone way too far, it’s getting almost menacingly surreal. I can’t understand it any more and am suddenly feeling very depressed.

******************
“Personal reasons” - starting postgrad degree this week, too time consumingas everything else on hold, thinking about an email received form a friend in September
Interestingly, and this was in no way connected nor was it any kind of gripe at all, but just a point in passing - pro bono, not even expenses. Wholly voluntary, as a contribution to the campaign.
I wonder if the others do a pro bono job?

I think ”the film” would be the shortest film ever made.
Nobody (?) knows what happened….do ‘they’?
Will it just be about their holiday & their now misserable existence? Just a beginning, middle & no end?
Ah, silly me…….”to be continued”….

From the “Journal de Noticias”, in Portugal.
O Ministério Público (MP) iniciou o processo que permitirá às autoridades judiciais portuguesas efectuar diligências de investigação no Reino Unido, relacionadas com o caso Maddie, a menina inglesa que desapareceu a 3 de Maio, do apartamento onde passava férias com os pais, no Algarve. Ontem, a carta rogatória nesse sentido foi enviada para a Eurojust - Unidade Europeia de Cooperação Judiciária, com um pedido formal de colaboração. Este novo dado poderá indiciar que o processo estará na recta final, faltando ainda, no entanto, os resultados de uma série de novos exames pedidos recentemente ao laboratório de Birmingham, após uma reunião entre peritos forenses e policiais de ambos os países.
Nos próximos dias, a carta rogatória, nas mãos do procurador de Portimão, José Magalhães e Menezes desde meados de Dezembro, deverá ser também enviada para o “Home Office” - organismo governamental com sede em Londres a quem cabe dar cumprimento às diligências pedidas pela Polícia Judiciária (PJ). Segundo apurou o JN, a Eurojust fará a ligação entre as autoridades portuguesas e o “Home Office”. Além de evitar a burocracia entre os dois países, outra das competências deste órgão é apoiar a preparação, o acompanhamento e a execução de cartas rogatórias.
“A ideia é, por um lado, que o processo seja agilizado e, por outro, facilitar todos os contactos com as autoridades britânicas, que têm um sistema judicial bastante distinto do nosso”, explica fonte ligada ao processo. O membro nacional da Eurojust, o procurador-geral adjunto José da Mota, recusou comentar este caso em concreto, confirmando, no entanto, que a colaboração deste órgão seria natural, “uma vez que tem competências para intervir em matéria de crimes contra as crianças”.
A carta rogatória será cumprida por elementos da polícia de Leicester, vila onde residem os McCann. É aos oficiais britânicos que compete marcar a data para as diligências e só quando isso acontecer é que os inspectores portugueses viajam para Inglaterra. Da lista de acções pedidas pela Judiciária consta um pedido para apreensão do diário de Kate McCann. Marisa Rodrigues
……………..
In brief: PJ’s further steps will have the support of EUROJUST. This entity will act as the intermediate link between both authorities, the British one and the Portughese. This seems to be one step to accelerate the process, which could in its final straight. fron now on, Eurojust will deal betwenn both countries.

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.
*********************
I am an extremely patient person but dont tickle me……what a pile of bullokcs!
What they cherrish is their freedom at the cost of their OWN CHILD”s life.
And yes,I agree on that one: they DO cherish money-money-money.
Loyalty? to whom? to MADELEINE or their f…..bank account????
Come off………I am very pissed off right now.
Please,someone to cheer me up!!!

I do live with it - very comfortably thank you.
And for the sake of people who get sucked in with your undelete myths, here’s the instructions from a popular undelete program sold on the Internet:
“The following three things are important for a successful restoration: (1) The more recent your last defrag was the better your chance of recovering the deleted file so defrag often (at least once a week). DO NOT defrag the disk after you decide to try and retrieve an erased file. 2) Every time that your computer writes to disk the chances increase that your deleted file will be overwritten. The sooner you make a restoration attempt the more likely you will be successful. (3) the smaller the size of the file - the better your chance of success to restore it.”

why won’t kate answer the PJ’s questions if she wants to help find maddie?
————————
Who says she won’t answer their questions? Kate has said she will answer them. Goodness, she has even practically offered to swim over to Portugal if need be.
______________________________________
This PRO McCann thinks Kate will swim to Portugal because she’s so keen to find Madeleine. The mind boggles.
