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

863 Noseycow - Gerry’s family have links with just about the whole world! When this case started I just couldn’t believe how many people they seemed to know at the Ocean Club!

I think comparing them to any natural creature is an insult to the creature… the hunchback wasn’t such a bad old thing at the end of the day…

January 8th, 2008 at 9:18 pm
rather than make a new film one would have expected them to approach ben affleck and have a find maddie bit added to his finished article…
buckets outside the cinemas - easy peasy
of course, that’s what you would do if you were actually looking for maddie
bastard fun

Another SAD EXAMPLE of manipulation: this is one of the original photos of the” Morocco sighting” and it is perfectly clear this NOT Madeleine but we were shown ONLY the vague photo.

I know. There were quite a few signs really. I asked him stuff and he’d reply “no, different clan” but when I challenged him on living in Scotland he went all defensive. If you’re trawling old postings try to see when he first appeared.

well they have links to just about everywhere else

Garth, you’re always welcome on this side of the fence. You know it makes sense…

The way it was written was MCc like - bad punctuation -well no punctuation actually, which I’ve seen on his blog and not abbreviating anything like “I am not telling you” - not - I’m not telling you. I think he went back to work in November and that posting was on 1st November.

Not heard that but if so then it’s very much a mirror of the film. No wonder they told Affleck to stop its release in the UK.
January 8th, 2008 at 9:12 pm

Nosey cow— McCuddlecat’s a Mystery Cat: he’s called the Hidden Paw- For he’s the master criminal who can defy the law. He’s the bafflement of Scotland Yard, the Flying Squad’s despair; For when they reach the scene of crime -McCuddleCat’s not there! Try reading TS Elliots Macavity: the Mystery Cat -it has a parallel existence .!!

That photo of Gerry could do with a sound effect over the top of it - “The Bells…the bells!” But then again that would be an injustice to the Hunchback of Notre Dame.

OMG just had a horrible thought - what if the speculation about a setup is correct - this is the precursor to Maddie being ‘Found’
_________________________
Not sure if you’ve seen Gone Baby Gone but if the Madeleine thing is a setup, it really is following the movie. The end result of that movie was a cop stole the child because the mother was a crack head. But I doubt Messrs. Rebelo or Amaral have Madeleine.

That’s one of the 6 dead bodies prior to May…
…isn’t it?
January 8th, 2008 at 9:07 pm
seems to me that esther mcvey’s resignation has everything to do with her bid to be another nu laburr sleaser.
she’s been told to distance herself ‘cos they are about to be arrested.
simple as that
what exquisite fun
January 8th, 2008 at 9:06 pm
OMG just had a horrible thought - what if the speculation about a setup is correct - this is the precursor to Maddie being ‘Found’… what other topic could clarrie have released to the press that would get everyone interested (even those not following the case?)? We’ve heard all the sightings, new witnesses we can stomach.
So nemesis you could be right and Maddie comes home tonight (yipee) movie deal goes ahead and McC’s laughing all the way to the bank.
Alternatively just a cover for the fund management crisis / blood results .
