Madeleine McCann: Four, Three Men, DNAboost And Risk
MADDYWATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann
DAILY STAR: “Cops slam pics of Maddie suspects – Innocent people are put at ‘risk’”
“Four” people who look like the drawings inspired by holidaymaker Gail Cooper have now been questioned by police
So says the Star. Although on closer inspection Jose Marques plus Joaquim Agostinho plus a Portuguese builder in Gibraltar makes three, not four
Celebrity criminologist Francisco Moita Flores says: “It is manipulation and propaganda.” No, not the Star’s reporting, rather the sketches
DAILY MAIL: “Fourth man questioned in Maddie e-fit probe”
When is an e-fit a drawing? Compare and contrast
The Mail sees the Portuguese builder questioned and then freed. “At least” three other men have been questioned
THE SUN: “SUPER DNA ‘WILL CLEAR McCANNS – They welcome new-style forensic tests”
A tiny sample is, reportedly, found in the McCanns’ Renault Scenic hire car. How did it get there? From her clothes, say the McCanns. “Another theory was that Maddie’s younger brother and sister may have similar DNA,” says the Sun
And there’s a new test. It’s called DNAboost. DNAboost “can separate or ‘clarify’ profiles and unravel tiny samples”
With DNAboost what you thought had gone comes back with a bang!
DAILY MIRROR (online): “McCann pics fury”
Always the “fury”
Police in Portugal “claim Kate and Gerry McCann are hindering the probe into missing Madeleine by releasing sketches of the possible kidnapper.
One detective says the drawings were too vague and could “identify dozens or hundreds of people”
“But McCann spokesman Clarence Mitchell hinted more sketches could be on the way ‘if we get any more information’”
THE INDEPENDENT: “Alastair Campbell: The Cudlipp Lecture”
“In an era of more pages, more space, more access, more talk, there is less said and done that is truly memorable. Even in Dacre’s apologia he could only draw on Stephen Lawrence – again - as the story where he felt the Mail made an impact and did some good. Similarly, in his Mactaggart Lecture Jeremy Paxman said the BBC constantly pointed to Planet Earth as evidence of good TV combining with good ratings, but did so precisely because it is a rarity. And with every front page screaming headline that doesn’t quite deliver the big story, every exclusive that isn’t, every whooshing breaking news that isn’t really breaking news at all, every new twist in the McCann case that isn’t a new twist at all, the public gets a little wiser every time”
We recognise the spin, says Mr Campbell – “Media spin to fill media space.” And we might even recognise the irony…

Everyone seems to be making money out of it!

Political Decision-Making Involving Science and Technology
Molly Scott Cato, MA, MSc, Chris Busby, PhD, Richard Bramhall
COMARE’s three Secretaries: Roy Hamlet and John Cooper (Scientific) plus a currently empty post as Medical Secretary (formerly C. Sharp) are all NRPB employees who spend a proportion of their time conducting research for NRPB and the rest preparing paperwork for the members of COMARE, whose raison d’être is to be independent of NRPB.
The Secretary we spoke to was unwilling to say how much time was spent with which hat on. We were recently amused to have copied to us a letter from the Department of Health in London advising an enquirer into radiation and health that the DoH took this area very seriously and were advised by the ‘independent committee COMARE’ on the effects of radiation. The letter was signed by Dr Roy Hamlet, who signed himself, Radiation Advisor, Department of Health. He does not have far to walk to get advice from the ‘independent committee’ since he is, himself, their secretary.
It seems apparent that in an area of such crucial importance as the medical effects of radiation in the environment it is wrong that there is no full-time member of staff even administering the Committee, never mind carrying out the independent research that all our lives depend on. Its meeting schedule of only four meetings a year also seems entirely inadequate for members to even discuss cursorily the vast number of papers published in this field around the world.

To all users
Firstly we have checked the reason for the 3A’s site temporary closure ,and, as we have been affected in the past , its a migration to new server, no more, no less.
Also, we have been unable to substantiate certain claims made onsite that a witness in the McCann case is married to a particular person, therefore we wish to distance ourselves from these claims and will continue to search and remove any allegations in any posts.
Any further postings on this matter and the posts will be pulled.
