Madeleine McCann: Tabloid Snap, Metodo 3 PD and McCanns Innocent
MADDYWATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann
DAILY MIRROR: “I’M NOT GUILTY”
“A loner who looks like a drawing of a ‘creepy’ Madeleine McCann suspect has denied any links to her disappearance”
Joaquim Agostinho says: “It’s not me in the picture. I accept that the drawing looks like me”
The Mirror reports: “The former cockle picker, who lives in Altura, 90 miles from Praia da Luz, added: ‘I did not kill Madeleine and I’ve never been to Praia da Luz. I cannot even drive’”
But still his picture is in the paper in connection with a story about a missing child. Fingers are pointed
MADELEINE in Chile. What news of that? “Yesterday, police ruled out a “Madeleine” sighting in Chile after the girl was identified as American Haylee Dreyer, six”
DAILY EXPRESS front page: “MADELEINE – Amazing lookalike: ‘I did not kidnap and kill her’”
Mr Agostinho looks like an artist’s impression of man whom British tourist Gail Cooper says she saw acting hanging around Praia da Luz. He is the “oddball”
Page 11: “DRIFTER MATCHES NEW MADELEINE SUSPECT”
Matches. Like in a game of snap? Snap! Snap! Snap!
“Investigators want to quiz a Portuguese drifter suspected of involvement in the disappearance of Madeleine McCann. Detectives working for the youngster’s parents are to question Joaquim Agostinho, 42, in the resort of Altura”
Does he have to speak with the McCanns detectives?
“Mr Agostinho, who lives in Altura, said yesterday: ‘I did not kill Madeleine and I’ve never been to Praia da Luz. I cannot even drive.’ Altura is close to the Spanish border and detectives from Metodo 3 – the agency working for the McCanns – were last night travelling there from their headquarters in Barcelona”
Again, does he have to speak with private detectives?
THE SUN: “McCANN COPS QUIZ SUSPECT LOOKALIKE”
“Detectives are to quiz a drifter who looks uncannily like a mystery suspect in Maddie McCann’s disappearance. Joaquim Agostinho, 42, denies he is the creepy man depicted in a sketch issued by parents Kate and Gerry McCann
“But Metodo 3, the Spanish private investigators hired by the McCanns, are taking the possibility seriously”
Is Metodo 3 now a police force?
A source close to Metodo 3 says: “We are going to be talking to this man as a priority, to establish if he is the one Mrs Cooper saw”
What of the McCanns?
“COPS now accept Kate and Gerry, both 39, may be innocent in Maddie’s disappearance, it has emerged. They have so far clung to just one theory — that Maddie was accidentally killed and her parents disposed of her body. Now they are taking seriously the alternative that she was snatched from the holiday apartment last May — which Kate and Gerry have always insisted must have happened”
DAILY MAIL: “Is this drifter the man in Madeleine drawing?”
Mr Agostinho says no. He delivers newspapers for a living. He says he is innocent
Metodo 3 are looking to speak with him
DAILY STAR: “MADDIE: THREE MEN RULED OUT – McCanns’ new hopes shattered”
It’s not Joaquim Jose Marques – police have ruled him out; and the Star was so certain
It’s not the girl in Chile – she’s a girl on holiday with her family
It’s not Joaquim Agostinho – he says it’s not him
METRO: “Twins play ‘find Maddie’”
“Leading world sex crimes expert Ray Wyre” has met with Kate and Gerry McCann
He sees the McCanns’ twins children. Wyre tells the paper: “They said they were going to go and find the monster that took Maddie. Then they dashed off to play the game. It’s a sad story, but it is healthy that Madeleine remains a real presence in their lives”
“A spokesman for the McCanns denied the story”
Madeleine McCann: No news is still news

I’m no expert on the law. Can anyone tell me what the chances are of the McCanns being charged with neglect. That will be the very least they will get away with, will it not?

jass,
I think you’ve misunderstood what Ferdinand was saying.
Again someone is… is it because it’s monday, it’s late and sooo many posts?
Hard to choose between the RR and Garth isn’t it?
Back to the McC’s. Children have their phases one month or longer its all “mummy” and the next its “daddy”. Even at three. I remember a little girl [2,5 yrs] almost demolishing the door of the study because she wanted her daddy, who was working in there, while her mother was standing next to her [and was feeling quite desparate]

Thats a bit of a middle class view!
I can assure you that there are plenty of families more fecund that that. We dont ‘expect’ kids to die today because our standard of child care and of course of health ios much higher - our expectations are different.
It is not acceptable to leave little ones alone in the manner the McCanns did, they know it and its why they have tried to increase the checking that really occurred - possibly they moved the location and the timing too, we dont yet know.
If you think their defence is going to be ‘well, it used to be socially acceptable’ I’d take a little look at their actions - stories of close checking, only theory mooted by them is stranger abductor, children wouldnt wander as trained using ’star’ rewards.
They will know the score, they would know the source of the law (in the UK) and they could have modified events to mitigate.

Is “you know who” really gone?
Think I got the name wrong earlier. Wasn”t it Amused Bystander who said he lived in
Belgium and wanted your E-mail address? He was another wierdo and was the poster I
thought might be “Murder”

I think it is appalling that people here post in defence of suspects in a child abduction, suspects possibly responsible for illegal disposal of her body, almost certainly (in my opinion) responsible for abandonment and neglect - perhaps even something unthinkable to proper parents!
So no shouts of outrage from the McCanns supporters carry any weight with me - the thing they support is much worse.
————————————————————————————————————————-
Yes, I think the idea of abduction was always nonsense, an excuse by the McConns but a bad one at that. Abduction was a reason/excuse for M’s disappearance and it diverted the focus from the real issue. M would not be missing/abducted???/accidentally dead if they had not made that decision to leave her alone which makes them IMO responsible for whatever happened in their absence.

METRO: “Twins play ‘find Maddie’”

“A spokesman for the McCanns denied the story”
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
OMG ……… if that is true it takes the cake. If the twins are really playing that as a game it would hardly seem in any way ‘healthy’, IMO.
P.S. If you’ve all discussed this before earlier in the thread I do apologise ….. over 1000 posts here when I got to it at 10.00 am (our time).

I didnt see that, not very funny is it.
However, I dont know the name he is referring to, is it someone posting here or is it a play on the name of the suspects in the Madeleine McCann abduction?
January 28th, 2008 at 10:44 pm
Ferdinand tries to support the McCann’s action in leaving Madeleine with her younger siblings…because it happened to him. Then says he felt in charge of a sister more than three years younger.
So…Madeleine had it easy in her baby-sitting because at least the twins were walking and sort-of talking?
Or he was even cleverer than her because his sister was so much younger and he still coped??
No sense there at all.
Back to the caring McCanns.
There’s perhaps something in the fact that Madeleine cried for “Daddy” when alone, not for Mummy. I think it’s a bit unusual for a child of that age to cry more for father than mother, unless the father is the main home figure - which he wasn’t.
P.S. Wish the duo-sexed Red Rooster would get his coat again. He/she makes you sympathise with Garth & Co.

“A great deal has changed, the death rate in children in the Western World has plummeted - partly due to proper childcare.”
There is some thruth about it. In the anciant days, people were having lots of children - and it was also natural that a significant part of their children died a natural death.
In our days, people have only one or two planned childs - but it is expected that those children are grown up by all means.
