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”

The Real Stig
Celebrity Hijack is the latest version of Big Brother.
Skins is a drama series on Channel 4. It’s 2nd series is about to start.

I can’t begin to tell you how pleased I am to see you say you dont know what CH is!

You mean the PJ are in the driving seat, of course.

I wonder if she’s lying consciously or if she feels a subconscious pressure to help the McCanns?

Lucky you, hope you thoroughly enjoyed!
Anyway, stick around as it looks like were in the driving seat! Not that there was, of course, any question!

“Well it’s either talk about this or Celebrity Hijack.
I refuse to talk about Skins - they’ve been bombarding my myspace page.”
What is CH? Skins, as in Heads?

so the newest street rumors are, courtesy of MF …..
* PJ are in the UK and are hacking through red tape
* PJ know where M was kept until permanently moved
* It’s raining scruffy Beatlemen
Rain, I don’t mind.
Shine. The weather’s fine.

“Welcome back!”
Thanks.
January 22nd, 2008 at 5:31 pm
surely its wrong to use the same artist
they would naturally look similar

Because she never saw his face, she told us that. Yet now she recognises this caricature!
This isnt aimed at those who have followed the case or the police, this is pure PR.

I have been. I’m in trouble though - I’m reading a book about the construction of Social Reality and I don’t understand one single sentence. Not one!

Why didn’t Jane Tanner mention the fact that the man she saw had a moustache and looked like a serial killer?
—————————————————————
Possibly she’d never seen a picture of a zombified George Harrison before and thought she was hallucinating?
Or the cognitive technique has the downside of obliterating any genuine memories?

“Is this the real ‘real Stig’? If so, welcome back!”
Yes, ’tis I - he of the relentlessly annoying verbal joust.
Thanks Garth.
Would you believe it was 44.5 degrees on boxing day in perth? I doubt I am back for long. Just thought I would pop my head through the door and say Hi.

Yes it gets more like Jack The Ripper all the time!

Thats the Daily Star, not the Mail.
___________________________
Thanks…I had a Daily Mail page open as well and looked at the wrong tab. Notice how that elbow-less photo is too clear to be a simple enlargement of the photo of the altar photo. I wonder if the Star realises this photo is or could be a scam?

She wasn’t looking at “his” face….the naughty girl.
January 22nd, 2008 at 5:27 pm
There are other forums and blogs? No surely…

I hope you have been a good girly swot!!
January 22nd, 2008 at 5:26 pm
Well, if it really is The Real Stig, hope you had a great time down under.
And are feeling refreshed and renewed for the fray…

The Real Stig never went away. Search Anorak and you’ll see he was in other forums and blogs.

The problem is Ian - I email about 20 papers at a time but never get a reply. I typically get hold of individual email addresses because the standard news@tabloidnewspaper.com format means the messages all go into one giant pot and most likely end up in a spam folder.
I’ve got hold of some more email addresses of individuals and so will be looking to target those next. There’s nothing underhand in it - go on google and type in what you think an email address would be and usually it’ll find it for you. Still nothing from Bates Wells and after 2 more calls last night to Mr John “Jones” McCann, he didn’t answer the phone.
If Michael Moore lived in England I’m certain he’d be on the case with an award winning documentary about the whole shebang.
