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

Quote: “Of course it is. Reasonable debate. But lets be fair Carmen, I’ve tried many times but still get the worthless remarks thrown my way. Read back and maybe you understand my feelings. Sometimes it just gets a little digs, no matter how petty, will rile people up.
Im just saying one needs to look at the broader picture. But then I’ve been saying that for months”.
****************
Garth, I do sympathise, I have watched you take a lot of schtick over the months, and I am personally aware that you are perfectly capable of sensible debate, you have debated with me on occasions.
I just don’t think you further your cause when you weigh in aggressively before you have even said good evening!
Anorak welcomes all views, that is the point of debate; even though there are those on both sides of this phony ‘divide’ who would seek to silence other views, I respect your determination to consider the matter from a sometimes unfashionable angle, as I respect those from opposing views who stick to their guns in the face of provocation - but debate, don’t attack! You will win far more arguments by quietly explaining your point of view than you ever will by abusing people who don’t initially accept it.

Time: 6.30pm
Venue: New Theatre, East Building
Speakers: Clarence Mitchell, Justine McGuiness, Kelvin MacKenzie, Roy Greenslade, Roger Graef, Neil Wallis
Chair: Steve Hewlett
The McCanns were the biggest media story of 2007. This event goes behind the headlines to ask why it became a media obsession, whether information or entertainment triumphed, and what impact the coverage has as the case continues.

Kelvin MacKenzie is former editor of the Sun, firmly establishing it as Britain’s biggest selling newspaper. Clarence Mitchell is a former BBC royal correspondent and now spokesman for the McCanns. Justine McGuinness is a PR guru who manages the Find Madeleine campaign. Roger Graef was the executive producer of the recent Dispatches which featured the McCanns. Neil Wallis is executive editor of News of the World.

“Gerry said that there was absolutely no suggestion that the children were abducted.”
I think you mean “sedated”?
“He was responding to someone suggesting just that. So he knew there was such a suggestion - it had just been made. Yet he denied it. He lied.”
That somehow reminds me to that Monty Python movie where someone accidentally lies about the question “What’s your favourite colour?”

Hi there again, Ian!
562 Increasingly incredulous 3:42 pm: « Ian, in that you demonstrate a good deal of the confusion in the tangled psychology of the anti-McCann brigade; you can’t separate a bad parenting decision from guilt for a major crime…That’s why it’s so easy to cause such a stir on here.
MOST OF YOU AREN’T USED TO HAVING WHAT PASSES FOR THOUGHT PROCESSES CHALLENGED. AND WHEN THEY ARE, YOU OBVIOUSLY FIND IT A VERY UNCOMFORTABLE EVENT. »
Ian, are you going to address my earlier post (608 5:08 pm)? Or is your problem (embarrassment perhaps?) related to the above astute observation?? No hurry, of course! After all, I took almost three months!!! But it would be nice to get an acknowledgement that you’re working on it.
Btw I am tickled pink that some people on this site have further developed their wonderful conspiracy theories to the extent that they even think Increasingly incredulous and I are the same person
I’m quite flattered as he seems a pretty smart fella, guys!!

Oh dear me. Lies that arent lies when viewed from a different persepctive! Is this where the McCann supporters have found themselves?
Will the stories about how Madeleine may have abducted herself (wandered off) be beginning soon?
At what point will Gerry recall Kate getting mad and killing Madeleine accidentally and how will that be ’spun’? I exaggerate to make a point of course!
Will the Tapas bar be renamed Chaplins to reduce the distance?

Yes I agree, the only evidence we have is that which we have heard and seen on videos and on TV or read on Gerry’s blogs - first hand stuff.
So if Gerry types ‘about 09:10′ we have to believe that he believes it was ‘about 9:10′. If Tanner says on Panorama ‘about 9:15′ then we have to believe that she believes it was ‘about 9:15′ (which causes a little issue, but lets not debate that right now ).

I cant be arsed with wooster. Lost fcukin cause………….
The timeline Ian.
Right. (i cant believe im disgussing this but whatever) Five minutes or 10 minutes each way, nothing is going to bespot on Ian. No more than that. But then that could be what the PJ are saying in that the alibis or timings dont add up. I really cant believe that to be the case though because that would be a bit like wooster PATHETIC!”

The P.J. have been constantly bombarded with critisism from our media.
Tales of boozy cops, incompetance, not following up EVERY lead or sighting given to them etc. etc.
For some reason it seems the media are on a vocation to clear the McCanns at all costs.
Of course we know C.M. is a major player in all of this.
He’s the one who dictates what journalists are used to cover this case.
He’s the one who had the Mirror Forum closed.
He’s the one who knows that with all his speil about how the McCanns have overwhelming support, the forums are showing the exact opposite, and he could’nt tolorate himself being proved wrong could he.
He certainly did not want the public to have their say unless it was in support of the McCanns.
With regard the P.J. contrarary to what we are led to believe, they are a highly trained professional force who will not be intimidated in any way.
Yes, they will of course, follow any “CREDIBLE” leads including the abduction theory as any good Police force would but they still remain of the belief that Madelein died in the apartment and was disposed of at a later date.
It appears that C.M., the McCanns and their supporting media are getting increasingly irritated by this.
As for Metodo 3 they have absolutely no powers other than those of an ordinary civilian. They are simply private security guards without the uniform. They have no legal rights to enter someones property without permission and they have no rights to stalk people, and they certainly have no powers to question people without permission from the people they wish to question. In fact if they harass in any way they can be met with a swift kick in the goolies by the person they are harassing if that person feels intimidated and feels the need to defend him/herself.
SO……Metodo 3 are ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, and as described by the P.J……..”SMALL FRY” and of no significance.
That bunch of wanna be cops have already proved their worthlessness. And what of their boastful 100% success rate. Blown to shreds.
Yet another victim of humiliation because of the McCanns. There have been many, and there will be many more unless the McCanns are held to account QUICKLY.
I’ve never known anyone to be allowed to cause such mayhem.
Is there a political connection? Enough said there.
Wonder if Richy had a word in Gordens ear while in Chine?
Anyway will be off line soon for an hour or two to babysit my young grand children. My son and his wife do not leave them on their own when they go out.
Back in about two hours.

It might not have been Madeleine and a chair!
Gerry definitely looks like he’s floating. Did you see the super close up on his glasses with the pink reflection? I posted that in here a few days ago.

Gerry said that there was absolutely no suggestion that the children were abducted.
He was responding to someone suggesting just that. So he knew there was such a suggestion - it had just been made. Yet he denied it. He lied.
Tanner said she didnt see the mans face, yet she said he had the moustache in the latest ’sketch’. She’s lying - how can one say they recognise a moustache when they didnt see a face? Mind you, we dont have evidence that Clarence is telling the truth - so either he is lying or she is.
I think what you might be doing is applying a political angle to statements - as we all know, politicians dont actually lie do they!
