Madeleine McCann: The Witnesses See, A Sketch And Killer Bob
MADDYWATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann
DAILY MAIL: “Madeleine: Four witnesses say they saw suspect pictured in new poster campaign”
“Four key witnesses in the Madeleine McCann investigation could have seen the man shown in a new sketch of a potential suspect, it emerged yesterday”
But there were no witnesses? And “could” and “potential” in one line…
“But four witnesses may have seen the unidentified man - first on the night the three-year-old went missing, then later with named suspect Robert Murat, and finally in Morocco”
“Jane Tanner, who told police she saw a man carrying a child away from the McCanns’ apartment, said she was “80 per cent sure” he was the one depicted in the artist’s impression”
“Isabel Gonzalez, who said she saw Madeleine with a Berber woman in Morocco, said the sketch looked ‘very similar’ to a man she saw immediately after the sighting”
Amanda Mills, 34, from Basildon, Essex, claimed to have spotted a man trying to break into a bedroom window at the Ocean Club in Praia da Luz a week before Madeleine disappeared from the complex.
“Last night she said there are “strong similarities” between the man she saw and the new sketch.
“Nanny Charlotte Pennington’s description of a person she saw with Mr Murat also matches the man shown in the artist’s impression”
DAILY EXPRESS: “New manhunt ‘another diversion by McCanns’”
One Portuguese policeman “stormed”: “The purpose of this exercise by the McCanns is the same as always. It’s another diversionary tactic”
DAILY STAR: “YOU WON’T THROW US OFF THE SCENT”
“Cops blast Maddie sketch as McCann tactic”
DAILY MIRROR: “Madeleine witnesses: This is him”
Witnesses says the sketch cold be a picture of the man they saw. Or it could not be
DEFAMER: Or does the new sketch of the man suspected of snatching young Madeleine McCann look a lot like Killer Bob?
NEW YORK POST: “SKETCHY SUSPECT IN MADDIE MYSTERY”
A picture of the man and he caption: “WANTED – SOUGHT IN KID SWIPE”

New problem. Gerry now says that Tanner saw ‘cartoonman’ at 9:10.
At 9:10 Gerry was gazing lovingly down at Madeleine and thinking how lucky he was.
So ‘cartoonman’ has now been proven by Gerry not to have been carrying Madeleine. But how come Tanner saw Gerry at the same time as cartoon man?
The story seems to be changing before our eyes!

I’d be very interested in hearing what their faces tell you.

Conclusion
Beatleman and Bundleman are a right pair of wrong ‘uns.
Any takers?

Seems like a fair cop guvnor.
Funny choice of words “wrong ‘uns”. It reminds me of those Enid Blyton mystery books you’d read as an 8 year old. The villains were always called something like “lemmy” or “fingers”.

As I said in my original post, they manage to annoy me every time I deal with them.
Do log onto their eNotes system and demand a refund. They are in breach of contract. They’re quite good about this sort of stuff, they normally refund without issue.

What about the uni drugs trials that went wrong, but were still sent to all our troops,
made the late 30/40s year olds sterile and mad but the government vowed to take care of them with careers and IVF and anything else that might crop up!
All paid off to avoid a scandal which would make UK look bad!
When things went wrong in portugal in May, someone said
” no we will cry abduction, we will be taken care off remember!!!”

Summary to date for the barmy brigade, no one charged, no one arrested, no letters of rogatory, no evidence and definitely no case.

Does anyone know for sure whether the proposed visit to the U.K. by the Portugese Police
is definite and imminent?
I mention this because of an article in yesterday”s Daily Express about Jacqui Smith. Leo McKinstry didn”t have a kind word to say about her quote “her performance on BBC
Question Time was abject, lurching between jargon and evasion, she came across as bossy,
ineffectual, shallow and deceitful”
If there is a deliberate delay in granting the PJ request, what”s the chances it”s at the request
of the McCann”s Lawyers or GB , IMO of course.

Actually it’s something called bronchiectasis, and it’s what happens mostly in the lungs of people with cystic fibrosis. But it can happen also to people who don’t have cystic fibrosis, like me.
I’ve come across the ‘giving up smoking’ causing temporary increases in chest infections; they seem to have something to do with the lungs trying to extract all the garbage from there. Hope you can shake off your flu soon, and make sure you keep getting checked until you are fully recovered.
As for the posters, I would have thought that Clarrie’s claim of a million posters was so outrageous that I’m dammed going to continue to politely enquire as to their whereabouts until I get an answer. A truthful answer would be even better…

peter o - did i tell you that courtesy of eby and tesco clubcard vouchers my WHOLE NEW kitchen cost me less tha £600 . Its looks so ggod that i had a ‘grand kitchen opening party’ and even cooked nigellas chocolate fudge for the occassion :grin did have to buy a new jigsaw though as the work surfaces were real buggers to cut - particularly the hole for the sink
++++++++++++
Wow! That’s impressive. We jus did our “Laundry Room” via eBay. Picked that description up form Mum in Law. Seemingly it’s so much more upmarket than Utility Room!
Actually, the new Miele Tumble Dryer cost more than the units in the Laundry Room. Long story involving complicated engineering because our Laundry Room is below ground level and so it was “cheaper” to but a whole new Tumble Dryer!
I note I didn’t receive an invite to Nigella’s Chocolate Fudge!

Several people have emailed me their reply letters from Bates Wells. Interestingly, the letters are all the same. Actually it’s par for the course for people who don’t want to communicate to send out standard letters like that.
Edit…
In my opinion it is a big scam.

We are typing at “crossed purposes” Ian and I were talking about Fiona Phillips. We both, possibly others, e-mailed following her recent outburst.
I agree with you about the fund though. Complete lack of transparency. No attempt to communicate with their donors. All take and no give.

sorry! not at all what I meant to say:
wow girls I am proud of you my friends / family think i neglect my wifely duties as i don’t iron - some of them even like it ugh
–
here is what I meant to say to Peter O, who said:
Pretty soon thereafter we need a lady “what does” to iron the things I used to be happy leaving to their own devices.
Someone please explain!

It’s called value - added. Be proud!

Cracked it.
Beatleman and Bundleman were in league. Beatleman used a screwdriver to jemmy open the shutters but he cut himself with the screwdriver. He climbed inside the apartment and dropped blood in there. He took Maddy without waking her or the twins. He passed Maddy out of the window to Bundleman who draped her across his arms, heading right and across the junction where Tanner saw him but not GM or Jes. Beatleman stayed in the apartment to clean up, move cuddlecat, then he stole the tennis bag and climbed out of the window, heading in the opposite direction to Bundleman. Hence “they’ve taken her.”
The two accomplices later hear of Krugel’s visit and so return to the apartment, break in (avoiding the PJ and the media) and plant a false cadaver scent all over, successfully fooling the dogs. Then they go to the McCanns villa, plant the same scent on clothes, and also plant DNA in the boot of the Scenic.
Conclusion
Beatleman and Bundleman are a right pair of wrong ‘uns.
Any takers?

some of them even like it ?????
Quick send them to an insane asylum and get them locked for the rest of their lives!
They spoil everything we’ve accomplished!
After I fired the cleaning lady, mrT has to do a lot!!!
He folds the clothes when they are dried in the dryer, puts the garbage outside, cooks [not often], does the vacuming [??? vacuum cleaner], cleans the pool, mows the lawn …..
I am soooooooo lazy but I keep telling him I don’t know how to do it, and when he tries to learn me how to do it, I mess it up so badly, he never asks again
He’s a sweetie

The bottom line is that if you want to legitimately contact Madeleine’s Fund: Leaving No Stone Unturned Limited - you can’t. There’s no office, no manager, no phone number, no normal day to day office. Ziltch. This is a company who collects money from people and it then they don’t have the courtesy to talk to the donors and let them know how things are going to achieve it’s stated objectives in finding Madeleine.
In my opinion it is a big scam.
