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…

This little girl is laughing wholeheartedly with her whole face, Madeleine’s pictures never portray her as laughing wholeheartedly.

Sorry
we were scared
we lied
we never checked
so the abductor had all night to do it!

maybe thats what garfy meant when he said about them “playing their trump card”
as far as im concerned if they try that one and even if its true, then its all too little too bloody late. And it shows how sick they are trying to protect themselves as its obviously more important to them than poor maddie IMO

And a lawyer
Replaced with Kennedy’s lawyer and Jon Corner
Could it be that as it was aparently Esther who didnt want them to use the money for the defence of the McCanns and the mortgage and now they might get that through?

It is the neglect and the apparent alleged cover up which negates their value as parents, and also professionally allegedly

Maybe thats why Clarence is so confident that they will never be charged regarding the DNA etc. Because they have that as a fallback plan?
January 11th, 2008 at 4:49 pm
I’ve always had the feeling that they accidently killed her and have covered up. They are definitely guilty of neglect in my eyes, even if they are never charged with neglect. The moment they left those children alone they were guilty. They have in effect, indirectlyaided and abetted the whole scneario so guilty whether charged or not. I don’t care what happens to them. They can rot in hell for all I care. Justice systems the world over are shit. Every country wades in corruption so no matter what the outcome to these scum parents is they deserve to be parents if that’s how they treat children. No excuse cuts it with me. They left them alone. Pure and simple. Even if tehy had nothign to do, physically, with maddies disapearance they were the root cause the moment they shut the door behind them. Do I have compassion for them? No, not on iota. They haven’t admitted fault they take money from people far worse off than them and rub our faces in it. People like thes are a very sad indicament of what our world has become where values are forgotten about and greed tales over. I will rest in my pigeon grave knowing that I will never be like them or ever could be like them. i love my boy with all my heart and would die for him. I wouldn’t leave him to potential harm. if I wag out he would be with me, by my side. I wouldn’t leave him for the clutches of a mad man and I know that because I wanted him so much and he is so beautiful and a gift from wherever and that i’m the luckiest dad in the world could I ever lift a finger to his precious head, pissed, on drugs or just fuming mad. Cold, greedy, heartless self serving wankers from leicester however are a different story altogethr.
Good night all - have a nice weekend xx

I think the seats in the public gallery at a trial should be auctioned off. The money raised should be injected back into PJ coffers for the immense time wasting and expense it has caused the Portuguese taxpayer.

The resignations from the board of directors was a definate blow to the McCanns.
Has this been confirmed yet - I mean other directors than Ms McVey?

I find myself realising things as I write!
In that last ramble I realised that if they were just trying to protect their careers from a worse neglect charge, theyd be putting themselves at risk of a miscarriage of justice.
Their confidence that this wouldnt happen means they know more than we do about the body traces - in other words its not a miscarriage of justice they are worried about and its not worse neglect charges they are worried about.
I think they are worried about the truth itself coming out - and they can’t do a damn thing to stop that, so they are hanging on to their only alternative - stick to the checking story and recycle the abduction stuff and prey their lawyers can destroy any cadaver or DNA evidence. Continue to distract the public - they will need them for the anti-Portuguese stance and prevent getting sent to Portugal.
They must be very sure that Madeleines remains will not be found (in my opinion, allegedly etc etc).

Stevo,
It is my view, is that acceptable to you? I use that expression to indicate that until I am satisfied that the evidence (coming straight out of the PJ’s mouth) is enough to prove that they are guilty, I will not point the finger at them. Why can’t you and the other few who keep on having a go at me just understand that that I AM ENTITLED TO MY OPINION. PERIOD.
________________________________
Daisy…it’s got nothing to do with people being in agreement why they have a go at you. It’s more basic than that. It’s because this case is testing the basic issues such as bigotry and prejucide. Those two unpleasant issues are behind a lot of the problems in the past, today, and no doubt in the future. Your opinion is ok. I have no problem with it. But when opinion starts to border into prejudice then I like to defend against it. The reason racism or homophobia exists is because of ignorance and prejudice. People go along with something because of belief rather than fact. They ignore one thing and believe something else that has probably got more weight to it. I enjoy your posts and you’ve posted on my forum as well. There’s no problem with that. But, if you are going to make some blatant claims that have no more validity than other claims then you will be shot down by posters. Can’t you see that this is in essence what prejudice is? An opinion all by itself is fine but when it borders on ludicrous claims about one thing while rejecting the other - that’s why I think your posts get so much flak IMO.

“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.
****
I read that the poster was right on a previous leak — they knew that cadaver dogs had found something in the car and posted it a few days before the reports hit the papers.
January 11th, 2008 at 4:35 pm
Rooster,
Karen was referring (I think - correct me if I’m wrong Karen) to the Great British Public, who swallowed the abduction scenario, hook line and sinker… at the beginning!!
That’s why we had all this Maddie mania last summer..
I really feel for the kids who gave up their pocket money, and arranged events to raise funds for these detestable people.
My own son’s school were doing a show reflecting the major events of the past six or seven decades, and Maddie was the big story of this decade (after 9/11). a number of us parents felt uncomfortable at least at this, and I know it has now been acknowledged as an error of judgement by the school staff.
Karen’s not saying there was an abduction; neither am I , and neither are almost all of the posters on this forum.

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………..
———————————————————
Well, I don’t have a reference for the French gypsies so I can’t comment on that story.
The RCA does suggest that you would need tanker-loads of the stuff for it to work in the way claimed.
I tend to work on the principle that they probably know more about it than we do…

You were more inclined to them being guilty of neglect before christmas, does that mean you are leaning to manslaughter/murder?

Do you think this means tht they actually arent directly responsible (of course indirectly they are)?
The whole thing is to protect their careers from the impact of having…
1. Abandoned their children by leaving them for longer periods than claimed and going further afield and…
2. Told the lies to prevent the impact of (1)?
Surely they wouldnt?
Unless of course they are 100% certain that it will not be possible for them to be prosecuted for the accident and disposal, but how could they be sure that her blood wasnt in the apartment and wasnt found in the car?
How could they sit back confidently thinking they will not be the victims of a miscarriage of justice?
The only conclusion I can come to is that they have nothing to lose by sitting back and nothing to gain by admitting they were more neglectful than they have admitted.
It might be inferred form this that they must be guilty of the more serious allegations!
Or it was an abducton that did take less than 5 minutes.
I know which one I suspect to be so.
January 11th, 2008 at 4:32 pm
I can’t help think it’s some one like soothsayer joking as it all seems to fit in with the theories we have had on here.

Daisy earlier
“Come on, take a deep breath and calm down. Getting so agro is not good for your health. Innocent until proven guilty is THE LAW!”
Well not really! A judge said publically the other day that there is no such thing as being proven innocent. A court decision of not guilty means insufficient proof of guilt and no subsequent penalty but that does not necessarily mean “innocence”. Also, this is a discussion forum not a courtroom.
January 11th, 2008 at 4:31 pm
This weeks events have just made me feel more bile towards them. i don’t really see that anything has changed to be honest. It’s all spin and it’s just red tape holding things up. next week we shall see the interviews and the week after that we shall see a decision of some sort or other.
