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”

Yesterday (I think) there was a cross posting from the mirror forum about this and the Mirror (I think, again) had checked this with HMG and got the answer the letters have not been sent. I’ll try to find the link again.
————-
it didn’t say the letters hadn’t been sent, that was how the mirror forum interpreted it.
it said, there has been no FORMAL request under the MLA sheme.

Edit…
Daily Mirror to its knees
The British newspaper Daily Mirror, following a record number of complaints to the oversight agency media today published a correction to its article on the Portuguese ambassador in London, and his statements about the case Madeleine.
The Mirror was obliged by the monitoring committee to publish this correction in the paper and internet following several hundred complaints against the xenophobic and defamatory of an article signed by Tony Parsons, known for his connections to the right English.
Edit..
++++++++++++
Excellent result! Thank you for posting. Isn’t it incredible though just how people actually complain about articles of this nature? Less than 500 I believe? I wonder how many actually read the article? Do the majority really care so little about what the media say allegedly in “their name”?
Anyway, I’m glad the Mirror and Tony Parsons have been required to apologise.
January 18th, 2008 at 1:52 pm
This is what was on the Mirror Forum yesterday:
“It is not our usual policy to comment on individual cases, however the Home Office has not received a formal request for Mutual Legal Assistance concerning the McCann investigation. It is not appropriate to comment further.”

The protocol also gives Eurojust a role in seeking “practical solutions” if one member state refuses to cooperate with a request for legal or police assistance from another. The protocol will have to be ratified by national parliaments in the member states.
no idea what the protocol is though, or whether it was ratified or not.
+++++++++
Ditto.. I’m clueless about the protocol. However, all the rumours re these damn letters could be ended in an instant if someone like Mr Rebello, or the prosecutor, or someone who clearly has the authority to speak about this investigation would only stand up on live television and say that the letters had been sent. Then those of us in the UK with an interest in this case could ask pertinent questions of MP’s etc. It would also make it pretty damn difficult for the UK media to ignore that particular piece of news.

I know that a Rag has to publish a full copy of the PCC’s report in
such cases.
But I don’t buy the Mirror….so I can’t confirm.
Maybe it’s hidden deep within the paper somewhere.
January 18th, 2008 at 1:47 pm
Carlos Santana has already considered the decision of the Commission of Control of Media as a “balanced, given the way work as usual British media.”

Primeras pistas de dos desapariciones
La investigación de la niña de Huelva se centra en un vecino, y la de Málaga, en un coche del que no hay rastro
M. A. / J. V. - Huelva / Marbella - 18/01/2008
Primeras pistas de dos desapariciones
La investigación de la niña de Huelva se centra en un vecino, y la de Málaga, en un coche del que no hay rastro
Primeras pistas. Las pesquisas por las desapariciones de Mari Luz Cortés, de cinco años, en Huelva y de Amy Fitzpatrick, de 15, en Mijas (Málaga), tienen ya un hilo del que tirar.
***************
I am not sure about the mccanns spanish but there is absolutely NO mention of mari and madeleine”s cases even remotely connected.They must be sooooooooooo disappointed!!!!
The spanish police is essentially investigating the disappearance of Amy and Mari….

or maybe because they beat her to death in a strop after mark warners fetched them back from the pub and told them to ‘go get the fuckers sorted out, the neighbours are complaining’.
————-
I didn’t like to be quite so graphic! I did say that there could have been a loss of temper resulting in death. Are we sure that blood was found? This case is driving me nuts. We actually know next to nothing.
