Madeleine McCann: Gail Cooper Says And Amy Fitzpatrick
MADDYWATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann
THE SUN: “Potential Maddie witness snub”
“The British woman who may have seen Maddie McCann’s kidnapper has NOT been quizzed by Portuguese cops”
Gail Cooper says she saw a man. An artist’s impression of the man has been released
Gail, of Newark, Notts, says: “They never contacted me. He must be found, even if it is to rule him out”
IRISH INDEPENDENT: “Mum vows to continue search for missing teen Amy”
“Mari Luz Cortes vanished on January 13, as she went to buy sweets from a local kiosk in the Spanish town of Huelva, near the border with Portugal. A massive search for the five-year-old is ongoing.
“The disappearance has been linked to that of Madeleine McCann from the Algarve resort of Praia da Luz, although police said they did not think the two cases were connected.
Ms Fitzpatrick yesterday said that her only daughter is “still just a kid”.
“She is only 15 and she has disappeared without trace.”
Amy Fitpatrick was 15 when she vanished after leaving her friend’s house near Feungirola, in Spain, at 10pm on New Year’s Day. She set out on the 20-minute walk to her own house, but has not been seen since.

slyfox:
yes, this embalming thing won’t go away and it would certainly cast a different ‘light’ on the whole affair. Cleaning fluids, bloody towel, barn, phone triangulation etc seems a ‘logical’ train of thought as to events post May 3rd …the difficulty is in believing the absolute coldness and ruthlessness of it all.

The Sea Dreamer Says:
“As for hysterical, feminist dominated public opinion, it would embrace paedophilia in any shape or form rather than come face to face with infanticide, cover-up, collusion and conspiracy.”

So it would seem, but can it be said with complete confidence that pedophiles are not involved in some way in this case?

Morning everyone. Hope this is not a duplicate post.

(Plus i’ve lost the poster’s name in the cross over, hope this doesn’t get me in trouble…) Going by the end of this translation it could be a ‘deliberate’ murder.

Posted: Tue Jan 22, 2008 7:53 pm Post subject: Enfants kidnappes - New evidence against the McCanns
Not much of this is new to regulars here, but of interest nonetheless:
http://www.kidnapping.be/maddie/maddie.html
The Belgian website Enfants Kidnappes is reporting that the PJ have a number of rather damning pieces of evidence:
“C’est ainsi que nous étions au courant que la PJ portugaise savait quand et comment Madeleine à été sortie de l’appartement de vacances à Praia Da Luz. La PJ sait également où la petite Madeleine est restée durant les premiers jours! ”
We are aware that the PJ know when Madeleine went out of the holiday flat in PDL. The PJ also know where Madeleine was kept (stayed) in the first days.
“Souvenez vous, nous vous avions aussi parlé de ce cellier où une serviette sur laquelle des vestiges de sang appartenant à Madeleine a été trouvé. C’est également là, que la PJ a retrouvé divers produits “fait maison” qui pourraient être utilisés dans la conservation d’un corps. Toutefois la police n’a pas confirmé qu’ils avaient bien été utilisés à cela.”
Remember that we have also spoken of the cellar (or barn?) where they found the towel with Madeleine’s blood. They also found there various DIY products that could be used for embalming a body. Though the police have not confirmed that they were used for that.
“D’autres éléments troublants vous seront bientôt divulgués, dès que nous aurons reçu le feu vert. Ainsi, la thèse de l’homicide involontaire pourrait bien glisser vers la thèse de l’homicide tout court. ”
Other disturbing elements will be disclosed soon when we have got the green light. Maybe the charge will not be involuntary homicide but deliberate killing.

I met a mate in the pub last night and we tgalked about our football team. The goods players and the bad.
That does not matter one jot either since i neither own the club or pick the team.
Still, I have an opinion, I like to air it now and again. Sometimes I dont know all that I think I know and sometimes I know more. But over a pint or two it helps give me clarity to my opinions.
That is all we are doing on here.
Feel free to join in. It is much more fun than sitting here thinking your thoughts dont matter…

Forensics wield new DNA weapon
DNAboost to cold cases
By Chris Williams → More by this authorPublished Wednesday 4th October 2006 14:55 GMTFind out how your peers are dealing with Virtualization The Forensic Science Service (FSS) is piloting a DNA technique it says could lead to countless unsolved criminal investigations being reopened.
The technique has already been useful in current investigations numbering in double figures, The Register has learned.
DNAboost is a piece of software which it’s hoped will help forensics interpret genetic sequences from mixed samples. Incidents where minimal cell fragments are collected or have been degraded present difficulties distinguishing between individuals.
The FSS says its tests on DNAboost have shown it could improve DNA profile yield by as much as 40 per cent, and detection rates by 15 per cent. The possibility is for thousands of “cold” cases being supplied with new leads, the FSS reckons. DNAboost-resolved samples could identify multiple users of a weapon in more cases, for example.
DNA manager Paul Hackett said: “We’ve been able to demonstrate an increased rate of interpretation even in those areas that have proved traditionally most difficult – fragments of cellular submissions.”
The technology behind DNAboost is based on a simple idea. Rather than compare a mixed sample to every profile in a database, the DNAboost algorithm turns the problem on its head, turning it into a process of elimination. There are 20 data points in a DNA profile, for a sample from more than one individual trials showed the program would quickly return the right number of matching profiles.
FSS consultant forensic scientist Dr Tim Clayton, who works with DNAboost, described the lateral thinking at its foundation as “beautifully simple, like all the best ideas”.
Despite this apparent simplicity, the FSS is claiming a world first on the application.
DNA boost is being trialled by the FSS for four police forces on their local DNA repositories: West Yorkshire, South Yorkshire, Northumbria and Humberside.
A government-owned limited company, the FSS hopes to roll out DNAboost to all of its police force customers. The service is in negotiations with the Home Office for access to the National DNA Database, the world’s largest database of human DNA profiles.
The new technique does nothing to broaden the reach of the National DNA Database, which civil liberties groups criticise for retaining DNA from individuals who have never been charged or prosecuted. If anything it may help quieten calls within government and law enforcement for the database to be expanded, as current data should be better utilised. ®

yes, but some peoples opinions matter more than others.
i’ve yet to see anyone commenting on yours, other than to tell you you’re either wrong, or to shut up.
January 23rd, 2008 at 11:53 am
Ian, its nice to have opinions, but in this case yours or mine or anyones apart from the authorities, matters not one jot.

Don’t tax Pinhead’s brain too much.
She posts copy and pastes posts of Tiberius7 from MF…and doesn’t realise
they are malicious spoofs.

i always have a problem with senile old biddies who still live in the land of enid blyton.
i had one crash into my wing mirror while i was parked some months ago, and the miss-marple lookalike got out of her car, gave me a bollocking like i was a naughty schoolboy and then fucked off tutting at me.
i had to laugh then, and sledgehammer is no different.
i think it’s a spinster thing.

901 and 902 numbers in Spain are the very expensive Premium rate ones.
There are web sites like “no-a-los-901/902″ which give out the normal phone numbers for firms using these premium ones.

Why are you here if you feel your opinion is irrelevant?
Surely this key timing is an essential part of the search for Mdeleine, as it is the oNLY evidence of an abductor?
So I repeat, you dont think it at all relevant that Gerry is publically changing Tanners timing?
You dont you think that the father of an abducted child altering the timing of the primary witness of that abduction is at all relevant then?

256 Firestar….. isn’t there some Act of Parliament that means that if someone asks information from a Minister (or his/her dept) that they HAVE to reply unless its covered by Official Secrets Act? I can’t see how MMC could be covered by that.
Has anyone here written to Jacqui Smith’s office to ask? If I could recover my lost multi tasking skills then I would…… but I can’t so I won’t.
