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…

A “Not proven” verdict would be a very unfair and damaging one. Innocent people could be tarnished for crimes which it was not possible to prove one way way or another.
How’s your essay going?

Portuguese detectives request more time in Madeleine McCann investigation
5 hours ago
LISBON, Portugal - Portuguese detectives investigating the disappearance of British girl Madeleine McCann have asked the attorney general to keep documents in the case classified.
Under Portuguese law, the details of investigations are secret for the first eight months after police identify a formal suspect - a deadline that falls next week.
However, police can ask for more time in exceptional cases and official suspects, police and lawyers can be prosecuted if they discuss details of an open case in public while it is classified.

i repeat
the only fact is a little girl is missing
anything else you all think you know is taken from the tabloids.
the police are doing their best to solve this case and i’m sure they know a lot but so far not enough .
you don’t know what they know.
you just read rubbish in the tabloids and base your opinions on this.
try to base a case on reading tabloids you idiots !!!!
you think you know the answers when the pj have real information and dna etc but still have not enough to bring forward a case.

“799…Ferdinand
Deceased…..according to the PJ.”
If they have an idea where the body may be, I would expect that they look that place up. If they have no idea, how would they legally justify an extension? Just waiting for some lucky strike to come? Hard to imagine.

From Floating point MF
This information is also being released by Lusa, the central newsagency for Portugal.
Although this was widely expected to happen, and is being seen as normal procedure due to the fact that there are pending diligences to be executed in England, it needed ‘official’ confirmation. Anyway, the news is that the formal request has been made. It still has to be formally approved, too. Again, although it is indeed expected to be approved by the instruction judge, it should be reported for what it is, for now: a request.
and from joaohonesto MF
Under the new Penal Code, the secret of justice will still prevail in the investigation phase, it’s only when charges are pressed (the instructory process) or the case is filed that the evidence must be made public. So if they hadn’t requested this extension they’d have to file charges, if any, right away AND make the evidence public. And anyway, further investigations can be carried out after the charges are made and further charges may be added as a result of those investigations before the case reaches court.

Thanks. I knew it couldn’t be as simple as it looked like.

“from Li
Complex investigation
Maddie: The extension of the secrecy of justice was requested”
Explain me, what is so complex in this investigation? We have a crime scene, and we have witnesses. After more than 8 months, one would expect that all forensics would have been done, and all witnesses would have been interviewed and, if necessary, interviewed again. What is missing, nonetheless reasonable, expected to be found?

I went back to work when my first Smuddlet was 6 months old and he was looked after by his aunt who had 3 older children. I used to pick him up after work and to be honest, he didn’t want to come home with me! He would rather have stayed in a house where he thought of himself as the youngest of 4 children and was loved, entertained and pampered by his cousins, than come home and be the only child with merely 2 doting parents as his captive audience!
My point is that even though he was only 18 months old, Smuddlet #1 knew he wanted to stay with his 3 older cousins and bawled accordingly at pick-up time; 18-month olds will act upset if they feel upset. If the McCann twins didn’t act upset when their parents were leaving them for Rome, maybe they weren’t upset because their parents always left them. Just an observation.
BTW, when I had Smuddlet #2, I gave up work altogether because I wanted my children to know that I was their mother, no-one else, and that our family was made up of Ma, Pa, Smuddlet 1 and Smuddlet 2, with loving cousins and aunts in their own family units.
I must point out that I found being at home with my kids so much harder than my paid job that today I would rather crawl over broken glass than go through those full-time-mum years again but I know that the relationship I have now with my two teenagers is as strong and loving as it is today because I made that decision. (Oh, and I never left them alone in the house while I bogged off down to the Tapas Bar)

Thanks for telling me. Nice horror story. And now I also understand what they mean saying “doing a Fred West”.
