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.

One word about libel or any civil suit…
In any civil lawsuit there’s no point pursuing the other party for damages if they haven’t got it i.e. green folding stuff.
There’s been many a libel suit where the judge has deemed that the damaged party was technically libelled but they only got awarded £1.
In 2002 for instance:
The disgraced former Liverpool and Southampton footballer, Bruce Grobbelaar, was yesterday awarded derisory damages of £1 over newspaper allegations that he had taken bribes in return for fixing the results of matches.
The disgraced former Liverpool and Southampton footballer, Bruce Grobbelaar, was yesterday awarded derisory damages of £1 over newspaper allegations that he had taken bribes in return for fixing the results of matches.
The ruling, which has done nothing to repair his damaged reputation, leaves the Zimbabwean goalkeeper facing a legal bill of £1m.

BabyJane,
I’ve read the article. Strange story. Also [unnamed] sources, and it rises even more questions.
Like how are they ever going to find an unknown suspect, without publishing a description?
—————————–
Which story Totje?
Did they ever take Tanners sighting serious, and why didn’t they make more efforts to get a proper description of her [and of other people like the Smiths] asap?
—————————
You’re getting there!
I can understand why they wouldn’t take JT serious, although it was very early in the investigation, surely all clues should be investigated then? Headaches it causes me [so to speak].

Why wouldnt they?

“the million posters that comical Clarrie promised to have up in Iberia and northern Africa”
You’ve made me think now…… the only places these items are going out, is in the UK press in English where none of us can do a damn thing anyway! where is all the stuff translated into Spanish and Portuguese.
Further to that even in the early days everything was in English which proves IMO that it was just made to appeal to English sympathies! (which includes USA and Australia and many other English speaking countries)
So the campaign has NEVER been about the issues that it should have been.
—————————————————
Indeed it hasn’t. One of the really curious things about Clarrie’s latest claim is that:
‘A million posters appealing for information in English, Arabic and French about the suspicious character are now being distributed throughout Morocco and the Iberian Peninsula ‘
What on earth is the point of distributing them in Iberia where the population would presumably speak Portuguese and Spanish?
Or is it just a publicity stunt, and there are no million posters, and Clarrie was simply straightforwardly misrepresenting the facts?

I was going to commend you for being so mature for 16. Now I don’t want to commend you for being mature because it might earn me a thump!

BabyJane,
I don’t know. Could be the “straight line” moustache or the one with a curl up or down at the end. Curious

chenier, There is a poster here who often refers to the good advice of AGW, you are obviously extremely incompetent.
——————————————————-
I’m not sure why you continue to make a prat of yourself.
AGW’s comments are easily available; I provided a reference to another poster.
I haven’t misrepresented his comments; you have.
Are you so incapable of bringing anything rational to the discussion that you are left to alternate between recycling stuff from other forums and insulting other posters?
January 23rd, 2008 at 6:59 pm
Ferdinand, no dead, as opposed to could be might be probably is, we don’t know all avenues remain open .etc…etc

966, Stevo,
No, that was an embarrassing calculating mistake of me!
Instead of 4 x 10 I accidentally wrote 4 x 4.
I’m “around” 40.

You mean a death certificate? I am not aware of it.

I don’t know if its been posted already but the Mirror Maddy forum has been axed and no more discussion of the case will be allowed - co-incidence?
A notice has been put out stating this and the explanation given is that the nature of some posts is too abusive and attacking. All very Big Brother.
By the way, does anyone else find it strange that the Mccanns feel “bouyant” at the idea of their daughter having been snatched by a crazed looking werewolf lookalike? Do they still think that she is alive and being treated like a princess somewhere by this person?
January 23rd, 2008 at 6:53 pm
Ferdinand, do you know if the PJ have ever catagorically stated Madeleine is dead.

940 Cheryl Says:
“What ‘physical items in evidence’? Thus far, according to all reports or one might also say rumours/leaks - the DNAs are not even definite matches. In fact, weren’t all samples collected just miscrosopic drops and not as reported leading one to believe much blood here and much blood there and large amounts of bodily fluid and hair in the car boot?”
Indeed not only that there’s no confirmed evidence in the public domain at all. It’s also that the unconfirmed evidence is also only pseudo-evidence.
Madeleine’s DNA in the appartment - so what? She has definitely been there.
Tiny amounts of Madeleine’s DNA in the car? Surprising at first sight, but tiny amounts are easily transferable.
Dogs alerting at certain items - would laughed out of court.
Kate’s diary - a diary may be entirely fictional.
Kate’s bible - no comment
The only alleged evidence that would have impressed me were the bodily fluids coming from a corpse. But this has never been confitmed, and never been repeated since the final forensic results were said to be in.
