Madeleine McCann: The Gardener Questioned, Marcos Correia Cries Rape And Kelsey Lynn Kudla Says
MADDYWATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann
DAILY EXPRESS front page: “MADELEINE: BRITISH ODD-JOB MAN QUIZZED”
A new suspect?
“An anonymous email sent to Portuguese detectives claimed that Daniel Groom was spotted lurking in an alley close to the McCanns’ apartment on the night Madeleine vanished”
The paper says he looks not too unlike the man seen walking from the holiday complex holding a child. You know, that man with no face…
Says Mr Groom: “I think I am being framed. I am the victim of a smear campaign by someone with a grudge against me… During the week two detectives had arrived in town and begun asking friends about my whereabouts. I rang them after they left a message with a friend. I met them in a car park in Praia da Luz… They were two detectives from the Lisbon area, a good cop and a bad cop. One guy was quite small and smoked a cigar. The other guy was really fat, wore girly sunglasses and kept looking around him all the time”
A good cop? We know all about the bad cops (see the Sun). But this good cop..?
They showed him the email. It went:
“Is it a coincidence that this man started working as a gardener in the area and a child went missing?
“Maybe he walked through the car park at the front of the McCanns’ apartment and a little way down the dark alley between the two buildings where he could see and probably hear that the McCanns were there.
“After that maybe he listened at the window of the McCanns’ apartment for any sign that someone such as a babysitter was there. No television…nothing.
“Did this man initially see the McCanns and Madeleine whilst working on an empty apartment/villa and note that the children were left alone? Did he then come back to watch the McCanns when it was dark and not during daylight hours?”
This is front-page news…
Says Groom: “After a few minutes they said they thought it was all b******t. They said if they needed to talk to me again they would, but they thought they were barking up the wrong tree”
A gardening joke to end. Mr Groom may survive his ordeal
“KEEP LOOKING FOR HER, BEGS GRANDAD” – Says Brian Healey: “There has been so much that has been said and written, much of it untrue and hurtful, but so often it seems to me as if the only really important person in all this has been forgotten – and that’s Madeleine”
Indeed. ‘Nuff said…
“Some people don’t seem to want to know about the real Kate”
As we say, ‘nuff said…
THE SUN: “’Paedo dumped Maddie in lake’”
“MADELEINE McCann was raped and killed within 48 hours of being snatched then thrown in a reservoir, a Portuguese lawyer claimed yesterday. Human rights solicitor Marcos Aragao Correia said underworld sources tipped him off on May 6, three days after the tot vanished in Praia da Luz”
May 6?
Correia says he told the police. He then told Metodo 3, the McCanns’ private detectives. Correia says Madeleine’s body was in a reservoir with a small beach and showers for campers, late identified as the Barragem do Arade reservoir
Remerb when X marked the spot - “Vermoedelijke Vindplaats”
“KATE dad: Back off my daughter” – Says Brian Healy: “Some people don’t seem to want to know about the real Kate. She is such a warm and caring person, as well as being intelligent. But you can’t win because people say, ‘He would say that, he’s her father’”
Why would we care? A child is missing, why is it important we like Kate McCann?
“READERS in fury at ’sick stunt’”
“SUN readers bombarded our MySun discussion forums yesterday to vent their disgust following our revelations that an agency is ready to hire out a Maddie lookalike”
“LOOKALIKE mum: Let us help” – “The tearful mum of a tiny lookalike who hopes to play Madeleine McCann in a film insisted last night: ‘We only want to help’. American Kris Pfister, whose three-year-old Kelsey Lynn Kudla bears a stunning resemblance to the missing tot, added: “I feel for Maddie’s family — I am on their team”
Well, no, you’re not. But you are in the papers. Fame beckons? Tonight, Matthew, I’m going to be…
Quote of the week: “Since people started telling her she looked like Maddie, Kelsey’s been following the news. She cries when she hears she’s still missing. When we read there may be a documentary or film on the hunt, she said, ‘Mummy, I could play Madeleine. I look just like her’”
Here’s Kels-seeeey. (Come, on, Kelsey, you’re on… Smile!)
“People say that I look like Maddie. She lost her mummy and daddy. I want to help bring her home”
DAILY STAR: “MADDIE WAS ‘SNATCHED AND MURDERED’”
“Madeleine McCann was abducted, raped, murdered and thrown in a reservoir, a lawyer claimed last night”
It’s Marcos Correia again. Who told him? He will not say. But the paper notes: “He spent three weeks at the reservoir with investigators from the McCanns’ Metodo 3 agency. Last night he called on the police to search it extensively”
They have done. You can read about it here
Are these underworld figures known to Antonio Toscano?
DAILY MAIL: “Madeleine was ‘raped, murdered - and then dumped in reservoir’”
“Underworld criminals contacted a human rights lawyer on May 6, three days after the girl vanished, with details of her alleged abduction and murder, he said. But when Marcos Aragao Correia tried to tell police, he was ignored, he added”
Or not. The reservoir was searched
“PORTUGUESE police ‘want to keep Madeleine file secret for another three months’”
Says Clarence Mitchell the couple’s spokesman: “We are disappointed, but not surprised given that the police are still investigating.
“We had expected this request, however our lawyers will be examining it and once again we would urge the police to come over and interview who they want to.
“DEATH threats for woman hiring out Madeleine lookalikes” - Shona Juliet-Adams, owner of Juliet Adams Modelling and Talent Casting Agency, says: “”I have had threatening phone calls and death threats. I am not speaking to anybody until I have spoken to the police about my security - I received death threats”
DAILY TELEGRAPH: “McCanns suffer ‘almost inhumane’ police delay”
Kate and Gerry McCann could remain official suspects in their daughter’s disappearance for “several more months”
Clarence Mitchell says: “This is extremely disappointing. We will continue to co-operate with the Portuguese police, of course. However, the delay in resolving the case and eliminating Gerry and Kate is now becoming almost inhumane”
“BAD taste jokes need time to be funny” - An interactive humour survey at the Science Museum’s Dana centre in central London. Only seven per cent of the audience felt that a joke about Bhutto’s death was funny or amusing and only 31 per cent felt humour involving the McCanns was appropriate”
A Joke: “Dr Harold Shipman’s last meal was a curry. He said he enjoyed it but he could have murdered a nan”
FOX NEWS (USA): “Report: Agency Worker Receives Death Threats Over Madeleine McCann Look-Alikes”
“Shona Juliet-Adams, 41, whose agency offers the look-alikes for about $1,174 an hour, said she has been receiving ‘threatening phone calls and death threats’”

Is it just my incorrect interpretation, or have others spotted the subtle change in emphasis in those that post in support of the McCann’s?

You name one poster on here - pro, anti or just plain not prejuding - who has said they are not guilty of neglect? All have always agreed they are guilty of neglect beyond a doubt it is the other issues some don’t agree with and it is their right not to agree and set forth their viewpoints.

Chenier,
How mistaken you are! I have many times (maybe you haven’t cared to read them) posted about them (the parents) not telling the truth about certain things. But I do make a division between the neglect aspect of the case and the disappearance itself. I’m not deflecting attention; to be honest, I couldn’t care less to try and convince any of you of anything. I’m merely putting some other perspective to this case, one that some of you don’t agree with and that’s fine with me.
On the other hand, unless there is a good story to be discussed here, several anti-McCanns find it amusing to bombard others who might be sitting on the fence or who might be pro-McCann with silly comments that are of a personal or character nature. Not good, in my humble opinion.
————————————-
I’m not mistaken, Daisy.
I haven’t ignored your posts and I specifically noted that you have posted at length on the parent’s neglect. After all, leaving small children alone for lengthy periods of time is by definition neglect.
Had the McCanns not behaved in a way in which you say they subsequently lied about, there would not have been the opportunity to abduct Madeleine.
No rational person could draw a distinction between the neglect aspect and the alleged abduction aspect. The former allegedly provided the opportunity for the latter.
And I note that you still haven’t expressed any comment on the story, so presumably you feel that you have said all that is needed to be said about it.
Which is remarkably odd coming from someone who professes to care about Madeleine’s fate.
And I don’t suggest that you are trying to convince me of anything; your approach appears to be a generalised spray of whitewash whenever the McCanns are mentioned as responsible for anything more than a tragic mistake which they deeply regret…

No mystery I think.
How can any sane person defend the indefensible ?
Any caring parent would not do as the McCann’s did.
Self admitted….only a total fool would defend those actions in
the circumstances.

There was a post where Noseycow was talking about giving up and using Nicotine patches.
January 12th, 2008 at 3:25 pm
Is it just my incorrect interpretation, or have others spotted the subtle change in emphasis in those that post in support of the McCann’s?
We seem to have entered a new phase where there are repeated admission of guilt re neglect (not that you’ll ever hear that direct and unequivocally from the sainted ones themselves), allied to claims of panic and confusion in the immediate aftermath of the alleged abduction. This panic and confusion is now being used as a cover in an attempt to explain away some seemingly “odd” actions/statements of the McCann’s? Just my opinion of course.

My previous post about smoking was my first time on Anorak since sometime yesterday so am out of touch….. now I am panicking as I’ve skimmed back and can’t find what I thought I saw….
If it wasn’t noseycow that gave up and then started again (smoking) then I imagined it and I apologise…..

I was reading through the Vanity Fair article again.
Was struck by the fact that Dr K was not part of the interview.
No direct questions nor answers attributed to her as far as I can see.
Only quotes about her quotes from Corner and others.
Only reference made regarding Dr K’s presence was to say that
Dr K went off out to Church.
Very strange…only Dr G P interviewed in the house…with Clarence
sitting alongside.

“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 publicly 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.

Thanks for the info re “ad Hominems”.The question was put to Jane who used the expression
but she is obviously too busy attacking Ian (who doesn”t!!! ) so before this site descends into the usual free for all I shall concentrate on the Darts where Mark Webster is doing very well, leading 2 sets to one.
