Madeleine McCann: Kate McCann’s Message And McCann Posters For Mari Cortes Luz
MADDYWATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann
DAILY EXPRESS: “I feel your pain – Kate’s note to kidnap parents”
Kate McCann has delivered a “heartfelt message of support” to the parents of missing girl Mari Luz Cortes
Writes Kate, a “GP”: “I feel your pain, as parents we know what you’re going through…I am praying that Mari Luz is found quickly, safe and well”
Not that it’s all about the McCanns, a Maddy 2. Although: Says Juan Jose Cortes, Mari’s father: “Only now I understand what Madeleine McCann’s parents are suffering”
Neither Mr Cortes nor his wife are named suspects in their child’s disappearance
The McCanns have offered to equip posters of Madeleine with a shot of Mari – 12,000 of them are to be put up in Spain, the Balearic and Canary Islands
Mr Cortes says thank you but “We don’t feels strong enough to make a decision”
Says Clarence Mitchell, the McCanns’ spokesman: “The posters could lead to vital clues in both cases. Mari Luz’s face would sit along Madeleine’s… We just want to help”
Help who?
DAILY STAR: “’I KNOW THE PAIN YOU ARE FEELING’”
“Madeleine McCann’s mum has told the parents of a child feared snatched by the same abductor: ‘I feel your pain.’ GP Kate, 39, sent her words of comfort to the parents of five-year-old Mari Luz Cortes when the McCanns’ private detectives met them to investigate links between the two cases”
How did the papers come to know of this message, and how can knowing help either child?
“POLICE reject claims of link” – Portuguese police do not “believe” there is a link between Mari and Madeleine
Kate McCann is a “GP”
DAILY MAIL: “McCanns comfort lost girl’s parents”
Kate McCann has sent an “emotional message” to the parents of Mari Luz Cortes
THE McCanns will have to wait until September this year to discover why they were made suspects
THE MIRROR: “KATE’S PRAYER OF HOPE”
“I FEEL YOUR PAIN – Kate’s message to parents of missing Spanish girl Mari”
Reports are that police are seeking a “local sex pest” in Huelva
“70,000..the number of kids under 16 that go missing in the UK every year. Only 10 per cent vanish for more than five days”
Any more room on those posters? How are they remembered?
DAILY TELEGRAPH: “McCanns tell lost girl’s parents: We feel for you”
Says a friend of Mari’s parents, Irene a
nd Juan Jose Cortes: “They have been touched by the fact someone who is going through her own turmoil can find the strength to think of their moment of need”

158 Mods and Adminーー”One couple were said to have employed a baby sitter, another a monitor and 2 others doing their own thing。”
The Paynes, who were on the 2nd floor, were said to be using the electronic device. Which couple was supposedly hired a babysitter? I have never heard that before.
I would assume the Paynes are not participating in the so-called “checking” and neither would the couple with a baby-sitter. But supposedly Oldfield is checking, and Tanner is checking, so who hired the babysitter?

Mods and Admin
Check our archives, but it was said several times that one couple had a baby sitter, and also that each couple had made their own arrangements, and were just responsible for their own children, and NOT checking on others in the party (T9).
Whether in actual fact that has changed by contradiction or in real fact finding by PJ, I do not know.
But the McCanns and Jane Tanner and partner did not have a baby monitoring/minding service at all
January 18th, 2008 at 12:49 pm
Watching Tanner’s description again, it’s obvious she’s talking crap (but possibly doesn’t know it). She can’t say she’s noticed a guy for wearing lots of clothes and then say it’s cold and that not be a contradiction.
She probably misremembered in a subconscious effort to be useful and now she’s stuck with it.

If all the children were in one apartment then there was no negelct as one of the couples was using a baby monitor and another was said to be using the baby listening service.
Contradictory no?
+++++++++++++
Well, it’s doubtful how well the baby monitor worked across a swimming pool and at the distance in question.
It still leaves the issue that if you did hear anything untoward you’ve got to get from the Tapas bar back to the apartment.
We use a baby monitor and trust me I doubt you’d here anything over the din of a group of diners and the ongoing quiz in which they were all allegedly so engrossed. Depending upon the monitor type, the flashing lights (when a sound is made) may attract your attention but you would have to then listen carefully/step away from the surrounding noise to hear what was going on.
Plenty of time between your position in the Tapas bar and the distance to the apartment for a child to choke or have a serious accident. Still negligent, in my opinion.
As Brandon has also pointed out, they claim to have left their children unattended on previous nights, for which there does appear to be supporting evidence, in that the McCann’s have never contradicted these reports. Possibly they went further afield than the Tapas Bar as well, though there is less evidence to support this assertion.
I have always been of the opinion that the alleged negligence is a key part of the cover up of events surrounding Madeleine’s disappearance. I’m also of the opinion that whatever fate may have befallen Madeleine probably occurred prior to the evening of May 3rd.

…………………………..
Have a look at what is on the market for baby monitors. The Tapas bar is just about on the limits of reception, for instance: http://www.rimax.net/ing/html/ficha_descripcion.asp?tipo_producto=47&id=317 “range : up to a 100m in clear space “. And as some have said before when you are out on the piss, having dinner, concentrating on a quiz, blah de blah, a baby monitor is makes not the most obvious sound - how often have we all missed our mobiles going off in those situations.
In my opinion baby monitors are designed for use within the house (nervous parent, them up in bed and you downstairs - that’s what we used one for when our childrfen were babes) or at a push the garden not for looking after your kids when you are out boozing.

+++++++++++++++++++++
Would be interesting to be able verify whether the British Police specifically are investigating the actions of Team McCann, their family and friends subsequent to events of May 3rd. I suspect that verification of such investigations will have to await charges and/or trials relating specifically to Madeleine’s disappearance?
I don’t buy a daily paper, though I scan read the headlines when I wander into our local shop/newsagent. However, between my scanning and watching TV news reports and BBC and Sky news websites I don’t detect that the UK media is portraying any real negative public opinion towards the McCann’s.
What’s interesting, well to me anyway, is that if I engage in conversation with random purchasers of a daily newspaper containing some Madeleine related headline they mostly are dismissive of the protestations of innocence emanating from Team McCann. In fact, I couldn’t possibly repeat what has been said to me on several occasions because it’s outrageously libellous!
So, from my completely unscientific “research”, I would say that UK public opinion is probably similar to Spanish and Portuguese public opinion, but for some reason the UK media continues to ignore public opinion, in my opinion of course!

101 Patch– “There has to be another factor that made them want to cover an ‘accident’ up. The only feasible thing is sedation. If this wasn’t the case, then it means a loss of temper resulting in a death (and are we sure that blood was found?) Or else, it has to have been planned. All IMO… I have searched and searched and they just don’t behave as simple human beings.”
There is another factor, that you can find right at the top of the ANORAK Madeleine McCann page:

‘Madeleine McCann’
Madeleine McCann: The story of a missing girl, her parents Kate McCann and Gerry McCann, Robert Murat and paedophilia as told by the British press.

—————————–
Naturally, I will do no more than cite this passage. Also, you might consider that though the McCanns are the focus of attention, they are not the “leaders” of the group that was taking a holiday. Moreover, the group was obviously larger than 9 people (as in T9). For example, Jill Renwick was there “with the McCanns”, according to a Reuters report. She was also said to have holidayed with them in 2002, so it may have been a tradition. But Jill did not eat dinner with the doctors, and her presence in PDL was never mentioned again after that initial Reuters report.
Notice that both O’Donnel and the two witness-sisters claimed to have “gotten to know” the McCanns during this holiday. However, those sisters and/or O’Donnel/Wilkins could have been part of the “group” that went on holiday together at PDL, even if they are telling the truth that they only got to know the McCanns after joining this group.
What I am saying is that the group of doctors was just a sub-set of the group holidaying together.
How many guests were there in total at the Ocean Club at the time of the disappearnce? Well, it was reported that there were only “6o staff and guests” there at the time. So if you know how many staff were there, subtract that and you have the number of guests. Then ask how many of these guests were staying there as a “group”? Whatever the answer is, it wil definitely be more than those 4 doctor families. And yet why has this been totally ignored by the media which refuses to do any “investigative journalism”?
Could it be because the group itself was composed of people in the media? Weren’t “the doctors” (as O’Donnel called them) just a part of this group?
Patch, your own guesses at the possible factor motivating a cover-up by the McCanns are not bad guesses at all, and may be sufficient to explain in the entirety. But the lurking suspicions about “T-10″ or even T-11 or T-16, leave room for the doubt that the motivation is not purely a McCann motivation.
There is even the possibility that the McCanns are lying about leaving the children alone. It could be that whoever was “supervising” the children (and there was a report that all of the children were together in one apartment, except for one child) does not want to be identified. If this were so, the McCanns may be under pressure to lie about leaving the children alone, as the alternative bringing the least destruction down upon them.
This is just meant as food for thought speculation, and nothing more.

from the panorama programme - sorry if it has been posted before.
‘kate came to check on the children at 10pm, when she closed the bedroom door a gust of wind caught it and she realised that something was wrong.’ or something like that - clsoing the bedroom door - before seeing that madeleine was missing?

141peter o what if dna was not blood but matter could amount of decay to matter not provide time line
++++++++++++
I honestly don’t know the answer to that. I could be very wrong, I’m just expressing an opinion, but I would be surprised if DNA could tell you whether a person(s) was in an apartment on say May 1st, but not May 2nd, and again on May 3rd. Surely all DNA would be able to tell you is that a person(s) had been in an apartment/location recently?
So, if it’s not the DNA that allegedly tells the PJ that the seven children were there on the evening of May 3rd, what is it? Keeping in mind all the time that the rumour about the seven children in the apartment has never been confirmed in the public domain.

Actually, you raised a possibly very important point in your post 136 above, that Madeleine was sadly already dead and in fact in an apartment other than 5A.
What if the real story about the alleged seven children in 5A was in fact that the PJ had evidence that placed Madeleine’s body in another apartment but for whatever reason that hasn’t been leaked?
