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

But there aren’t any movie or book deals; Clarrie has done his usual trick of dumping information into the press to distract them from things he doesn’t want comment on.
The real killer is that people are resigning from the Board of Directors of the Fund; seriously bad news all round for G&K since it suggests that even those people closest to the money making exercise want out.
There are no valid explanations for that; Clarrie is spinning desperately.
So the non-existent movie, which could only be made if the McCanns cease to be arguidos, is rolled out to divert attention from the rats leaving the sinking ship…

Evening all, lots going on tonight I see . Red Rooster, Nemesis, laughing here at some of your posts keep it up because it’s all going to come crashing down shortly for Team McConn & Co , I still can’t do those little face icons ( keep pleading every night but no one will help me) noticed Stevo said to someone it was because of Firefox and I have that but don’t know what I can do! Must be the ” innocent bimbo” Moriarty accused me of being. Either that or it’s too much red wine….

Yes, it really does fit the profile. But I’m not sure about the style. Food for thought, at least.

Read that big posting of Stig’s from September. It’s not that literate. Read it carefully and it truly is in the style of Gerry’s blogs.

i reckon stig’s grammar was too good
gerrkins is a thick bastard when it comes to literacy
i think the (top gear) stig’s “man of mystery” image and someone aloof from us mortals would appeal to gerrykins though.
————————————————————–
Have to go with Ade on this one; I disagreed strongly with the Real Stig on a lot of occasions but he was highly literate.
I really don’t think Gerry is capable of writing like that…
January 8th, 2008 at 9:31 pm
Stig’s post says this:
“Early on in all this, when Gorden Brown first offered assistance, and if it had been me, I would have asked him to get MI6 to put surveillance on Malinka in every way possible.”
That’s one of Gerry’s Freudian slips where something is uttered and then retracted/retraced.

887 Stevo…
The child neglect thing is bad, but I agree is not the heart of the matter. I am sure that they are up to something and are trying to cover it up in an egregious way by playing on the sympathy of the public.
Exactly WHAT they are trying to cover up is unclear. The best case is it’s a faked abduction and the kid is safe with an auntie somewhere (hopefully not Auntie Phil.) This would mean that they are fraudsters but not anything worse. Next is that she died accidentally and they seized the moment opportunistically to weave their elaborate web. After that… some horrible possibilities that don’t really bear thinking about, but I am not convinced that the truth does not lie somewhere amongst them.
I’ve been expecting book and movie deals ever since their media machine got rolling. When it actually materialised it removed any doubt remaining in my mind that they may be telling the truth. I stopped calling them reptiles, out of respect for reptiles, before Christmas when the Christmas appeal tearjerker video came out and the first talk of book deals hit the papers.

Christine - search for “real stig” make sure you put the quotes then it’ll look for the two together. This is scary - here’s Real Stig (GM) trying to get us to think it was Murat/Malinka:
1283 The Real Stig Says:
September 21st, 2007 at 11:30 am
Does someone have any information about the Murat - Malinka link. I have always thought it possibly the single most suspicious aspect of this case, yet I never see it mentioned or discussed.
I’ll recount what I recall and I would welcome any further info or corrections. I am just mostly going from memory here.
The PJ were pointed in the direction of Murat and detectives started following him around. They also obtained his phone records. They noticed that on the night Madeline had disappeared, Murat had made ’several’ calls to a 22 yr. old Russian - Malinka - who was called an IT expert. I think he mainly did web sites for people.
CCTV footage supposedly showed Murat meeting Malinka and having an ‘animated’ discussion in days following Madeleine’s disappearance.
Now this is the bit I could not believe when I first read it - it has to be one of the three biggest police bungles in this case. They had Murat’s phone records - which is how they got onto Malinka. I presume in following Murat they saw him meet Malinka or got it off the CCTV. I also presume they would have known Malinka was a computer whiz. So knowing Murat and Malinka had exchanged several phone calls on ‘the’ night and Malinka’s skills - they go and bring in Murat for questioning WITHOUT grabbing Malinka at the same time. So by questioning Murat they tip off Malinka, because questioning Murat certainly made the news. The following day, or several days later - bit fuzzy on this - Malinka HEARS that the police are looking for a Russian and goes to them - how sweet.
Every time I think about this I have to almost pinch myself to make sure it isn’t a bad dream. The police went to Malinka’s residence and seized two hard drives and a laptop. But according to a direct quote from a PJ they had all been wiped clean. If he knew his stuff, he wouldn’t have just reformatted the drives, he would have done security wipes of them overwriting every single bit on the drive - several times! But maybe he didn’t have times because this process can take hours if they are big drives.
The NSA and GCHQ/MI6 might still have been able to retrieve what had been on those drives, but this is only a child abduction and doesn’t warrant a national security scale effort. It is supposedly possible to remove each disk from a drive and meticulously peer at it’s surface through a very special type of electron microscope which can read what the bits were before they were wiped. My brain hurts when i think how painstaking this would be, though the spooks must have this sort of thing automated by now to be able to do it in any reasonable time frame, but I digress.
Modern day pedophiles, especially the really hard core nasties who have the most to hide, are very cunning, clever and organised. They have networks and share sick stuff with each other and cooperate in their repellent deeds, even to the point of passing kids around their networks. Excuse me while I throw up. To hide their dirty activities they have resorted to stuff like encrypting their emails and other stuff they send to each other.
The easiest way to read an encrypted email is to have the machine that was used to encrypt it because it will have the encryption keys and emails on it - probably in their unencrypted form as well.
Now a report in a paper purported that someone who had once worked with Malinka , said Malinka had boasted of having had sex with a minor. When questioned about his links to Murat, Malinka had supposedly said that he hadn’t spoken to him in over a year, but the phone records show he had exchanged several calls with Murat on ‘the’ night and CCTV showed them talking in person in the days that followed.
Apparently Murat supposedly claimed, when asked about his whereabouts, that he had been in bed at 11:40pm that night. The phone records show him talking to Malinka at precisely that time. But that’s perfectly Ok because it is easy to see how a 33yr old would be in bed by 11:40pm, someone who doesn’t have a 9-5, talking about his website problems.
I hope someone somewhere is looking at Urs Hans Von Aesch’s computers to see if he had ever exchanged emails with anyone in Portugal.
Early on in all this, when Gorden Brown first offered assistance, and if it had been me, I would have asked him to get MI6 to put surveillance on Malinka in every way possible. Not that I am suggesting for one moment he had anything to hide, you understand, or had done anything wrong. Just as a precaution.
But this is just a child abduction and not a national security issue, so it’s just dreaming.
Anyway, if anyone has info, like some of this has been discredited, I would like to hear, because this whole thing really bugs me more than anything else.

1272 bulldump
Now the name bulldump tells us a lot for a start, it suggests the expulsion of a large quantity of faeces. But that really isn’t enough to go on. But when we see that the person with such a name engages in references to toilets and depositing into them, it becomes clear that there might be a certain fixation with matters scatological.
It is probably a reasonable conclusion, therefore, that someone so fixated is likely to be full of it themselves, hence the fixation.

Stevo - I’ll have a look - when you search though it comes up with the Real Stig and not Stig.
The thing that gets me about GM is I have known a guy exactly like him and he is as skirmy as a rattle snake so you can never pin them down to an answer. Always onto the next thing - never looks back, always has an answer, something bigger up ahead, I’m on my way, haven’t got time for you - pretend I don’t even know you if you happen to be in the wrong crowd at the wrong time. Get my drift?

We need to check that out. Stig was always in here after they returned to the UK after arguido status. Then he dried up after GM went back to work. Very coincidental.

I know evil. But what really is worse? Accidentally killing someone through bad temper or covering it up afterwards? I separated out the child neglect in my mind months ago. I don’t believe the child neglect is why she’s not here today. The child neglect is separate and distinct IMO.
