Madeleine McCann: Kelsey Lynn Kudia For Hire, Paris Hilton And Propaganda
MADDYWATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann
THE SUN front page: “’MADDIE’ FOR HIRE”
Tonight Kelsey Lynn Kudia is Madeleine McCann. Kelsey looks likes Madeleine McCann. She’s not in Morocco. She;s nopt Bouchra Benaissa. She not in Malta. But for the right fee she might be. Kelsey is a working Madeleine McCann double
Pages 4 and 5: “The boss of a lookalike agency who hopes to make a fortune out of a little Madeleine McCann double said last night: ‘It’s not sinister – it’s entertainment’. Shona Adams reckons three-year-old Kelsey Lynn Kudla’s similarity to missing Maddie could earn her £9MILLION for starring in a proposed feature film about the vanished tot”
Well, someone would have to play the missing child, unless she is found alive and well…
Says Shona, owner of London’s Juliet Adams Model Agency: “If the film about Madeleine is ever made, then the world is Kelsey’s oyster. If someone like Steven Spielberg made it, she could make £9million easily – of which I’d take 20 per cent. She will become a name in her own right and make it as a child model or actress because she’s got her foot in the door”
Just when you thought it was safe to holiday in Portugal…Dum-dum…
Of course, great acting careers have begun with less. Didn’t Tom Hanks play the baby in a Cry In The Dark?
She continues: “And from there, her earning potential is limitless. It’s not sinister. And if the McCanns are upset, there’s nothing they can do because it’s a democracy. I wouldn’t back away from it because, if a film is being made, then it’s entertainment”
Kate and Gerry McCann are “doctors”.
Says Shona: “I wouldn’t put Kelsey in a position of doing anything bad taste”
SLAP IN FACE FOR McCANNS: Sun columnist Lorraine Kelly says: “It makes you recoil to think a lookalike agency would have a Madeleine on their books alongside someone who looks like Jack Nicholson or Paris Hilton”
Whatever could she mean? Neither Nicolson nor Hilton were available to defend themselves…
DAILY EXPRESS: “The Madeleine lookalike on hire for £600 an hour”
Do you want to get your resort or country in the papers? Hire Kelsey to be a “Madeleine” and attract the world’s media to your locale as she is spotted time and time again
Kelsey is American
“PARENTS trying to ‘distract’ police
A source “close to the official police” investigation says: “Who do the McCanns think they are? The discovery of new witnesses in the last few weeks lead the authorities to believe they are at war with a gigantic propaganda machine. The McCanns have some very powerful people on their side - millionaires, celebrities, even politicians”
Says Robert Murat’s lawyer: “Robert Murat does not have millionaires supporting him, nor campaign funds. “He just wants to see his name cleared in this case as he has nothing to do with Madeleine’s disappearance, despite every day people emerging trying to forcibly incriminate him”
DAILY STAR front page: “MADDIE – The £600 an hour lookalike”
Page 7: “MADDIE DOUBLE FOR HIRE”
“A sick mother is touting her daughter as a £600-an-hour Madeleine McCann lookalike,” says the paper, amid adverts for “adult fantasies”, “nasty sex” and FILTH”
She is an “unnamed American girl” - see the Sun above
Says Clarence Mitchell: “This is an offensive way to make money out of Madeleine’s disappearance. This is deeply offensive to parents Kate and Gerry”
MADDIE: THE MOVIE: “Yesterday, Channel 4’s head of documentaries Angus Macqueen said he had attended a meeting with the McCanns’ representatives to discuss a movie. He tells us: “Of course we are interested in making a film about this compelling story. We have a history of making quality films about crime matters”
That’s entertainment: “Meanwhile, producers of US psychic TV show Haunting Evidence have been in Praia da Luz planning their own show about Madeleine’s disappearance”
DAILY MAIL: “McCanns are ready to sack detective agency”
Says a source: “We will carry on the search for Madeleine, but not necessarily with Metodo 3. We are stuck with them to the end of the contracted period. The question of whether it is renewed or not has still to be decided. They have faced not having their contract renewed every since Francisco shot his mouth off… It was made clear what they were doing was foolish and unhelpful”
DAILY TELEGRAPH: “US TV psychics join hunt for Madeleine McCann”
“Three clairvoyants from the hit show will travel to Praia da Luz in a bid to find the missing four-year-old”
Come in Madeleine…
Kate and Gerry McCanns have received “1,500” offers from psychics hoping to find Madeleine. Like the Psychic Barber…
Says Clarence Mitchell: “We did receive an offer and chose on this occasion not to respond. We are grateful for any assistance they bring to bear in the hunt for finding Madeleine. We thank them for their concern and any demonstrably checkable fact is passed on to the police or the private detective agency”
Tune and pick up into Madeleine on the telly…
Madeleine McCann: the entertainment, speculation and lookalikes…

“Is this a reliable source?”
The post has been around for a while on the Mirror forum with more text. It was this poster who said his sources have confirmed that Madeleine is definately dead.

Actually, I hope the Royal College won’t mind if we put it up:
Recent RCoA statement on alleged gassing in motor vehicles
Despite the increasing numbers of reports of people being gassed in motor-homes or commercial trucks in France, and the warning put out by the Foreign Office for travellers to be aware of this danger, this College remains of the view that this is a myth.
It is the view of the College that it would not be possible to render someone unconscious by blowing ether, chloroform or any of the currently used volatile anaesthetic agents, through the window of a motor-home without their knowledge, even if they were sleeping at the time.
Ether is an extremely pungent agent and a relatively weak anaesthetic by modern standards and has a very irritant affect on the air passages, causing coughing and sometimes vomiting. It takes some time to reach unconsciousness, even if given by direct application to the face on a cloth, and the concentration needed by some sort of spray administered directly into a room would be enormous.
The smell hangs around for days and would be obvious to anyone the next day. Even the more powerful modern volatile agents would need to be delivered in tankerloads of carrier gas or by a large compressor.
Potential agents, such as the one used by the Russians in the Moscow siege are few in number and difficult to obtain. Moreover, these drugs would be too expensive for the average thief to use.
The other important point to remember is that general anaesthetics are potentially very dangerous, which is why they are only administered in the UK by doctors who have undergone many years of postgraduate training in the subject and who remain with the unconscious patient throughout the anaesthetic.
Unsupervised patients are likely to die from obstruction of the airway by their tongues falling back. In the Moscow seige approximately 20% of the people died, many probably from airway obstruction directly related to the agent used.
If there was a totally safe, odourless, potent, cheap anaesthetic agent available to thieves for this purpose it is likely the medical profession would know about it and be investigating its use in anaesthetic practice.

In short, the chances of a dastardly villain having access to such an agent are non-existent.

Why would you be convinced the mother did it in the bath case? There was nothing inconsistent about her story, the police never indicated they disbelieved her and the guy was caught pretty quick?
It’s true - it could be an abduction - but I think we’ve more than enough weirdness from the McCann camp to be suspicious.
January 11th, 2008 at 4:30 pm
Chenier 547 so how did a group of French gypsies get jailed for it in Marseilles? allegedly they trawled the motorway rest stops. A couple of their elderly victims died….. the group were found with their belongings.
as I said, it’s just something that I keep in mind………..

Dr G P didn’t seem to notice any signs of the twins suffering any
form of hangover….never even examined then on the night either.
Which suggests that he was lying in the car while being filmed when
he talked about the nasty phantom sedating his children.

Rooster,
Karen’s not saying there was an abduction, she’s just alluding to the “MaddieMania” sweeping the nation back when most people believed there had been!
We (think we) know better now!!

sorry i must have missunderstood, who is it then thats saying there was an abduction

And, following on from that, I think that, if they had really believed M had been abducted by a stranger, they would have had to admit to that (if they were normal people) because it would have been important in the investigations to find her. I find it very difficult to believe that something as unlikely as a stranger abduction took place specifically of the daughter of two abnormal people who, due to their own pride, decided not to cooperate in looking for her.

It’s even possible that they’ve persuaded her to play that role, knowing that GM might get off more likely. I mean they may have persuaded her to allow herself to be set up.

When the ‘girl in the bath’ was abducted I was certain it was the mother and / or her partner who had done something and were covering it up. I was convinced and completely wrong.

Same as - really thought the family were involved in thayt one too.

You’re most welcome, Carmen.
It’s a really fascinating article, and deserves to be read for its insights into the whole ‘abductor-drugged-maddie’ claim…

I think everyone should remember how bizarre Maddie Mania actually was.
A child is taken from her bed in Portugal - probably by an opportunist paedophile.
And half of Britain thinks wearing ribbons, praying, going on fun runs, putting up posters in Britain, releasing balloons, writing poems…. etc…. is going to bring her back.
That’s insane and it’s never, ever happened before.

ffs there was NO abduction luvvy, when are you gonna realise it
January 11th, 2008 at 4:23 pm
Matt 524… I thought the gas used was odourless, hence its success on sleeper trains despite the guards? Leaves you with a ‘hangover’ and no memory.
Karen… a couple of the girls sensed something but thought their friend was having a nightmare so went back to sleep. The others slept through. (I did a feature on it for a mag back then on holiday safety for kids hence I remember it)
I know all the stats re: family violence but that doesn’t mean dismissing alternatives. When the ‘girl in the bath’ was abducted I was certain it was the mother and / or her partner who had done something and were covering it up. I was convinced and completely wrong.

“But it is true that we have requested a meeting with the prime minister to show him the strength of our case, to explain Kate and Gerry’s innocence—and yet all we’ve been offered is a medium-level-consular meeting, which we rejected.”
This is on of those statements that make you think - given that it was one of the wealthy backers who complained in public. dcb called it sheer arrogance - but what would be the reason for this arrogance of a backer?

We might believe it if they just admitted that they didn’t check the kids and the window of opportunity was about an hour.
But that would mean admitting they were neglectful and I think they’d rather go to prison than do that.
A 15 minute WOO is not plausible.

Is possible indeed.
But the negative stuff has increased from the McCann side….and if
I were Dr K, I would wonder why and be very suspicious.
Lots of variations on a theme are possible.

Certainly didn’t mean to rule out your theory, Matt, which I agree is very plausible.

Quite telling also about one’s priorities in life. I meant to save the piece Anorak put on here by the South African newspaper that pointed out they had so many missing and murdered little children (and they had the numbers for each) but all of Europe is riveted on the missing white British girl who was vacationing in Portugal.
Mods and Admin: You still have that article - it appeared last week and I forgot to run it off to put on here at the right time and the above would have been the right time.

I think I heard somewhere that once the PJ arrest and charge someone they can’t continue investigating and adding evidence, they must proceed to court with what they have.
Anyone able to corroberate or disprove this?
_____________________________________________________________
I don’t know exactly but US authorities often take a couple of years or more to arrest and charge a suspect because their double jeopardy laws mean that they get only one shot at trial.
They just wait, watch and gather evidence!
