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…

Stevo,
Do you think they will eventually go to prison or escape?

Sadly, I think it could end up being like the Lockerbie bomber and take years to prosecute properly if at all. Charges will probably be made but I fear that the legal eagles will then take up the reins and it’ll turn into a different kind of charade - Madeleine will be forgotten as the defendants start wriggling IMO.

The Russian poet Pushkin 200 years ago described a father who took care of his daughters much better than GMc. did.
The piece has been beautifully translated into English. Enjoy

The shortest abduction story in the world:
“There is no such thing as ghosts” - says A to B. “Really?” - says B and disappears.
The end.

Hope you are right about being on the final furlong. Like most of us here, all I want is justice for Madeleine by the truth coming out.
CM and the Sun. Again is this the sound of the bottom of the barrel being scraped yet again I wonder?
Time for bed. So Goodnight all.

Hi, all.
Any confirmed sightings of Harry Hindsight? Wasn’t he supposed to be in PDL last week? Maybe he’s still there, or maybe he’s just been taken down a peg or two.
Hate to say this, but for once I find myself agreeing with Garth - the theories about Maddy dying before the evening of 3 May just don’t stack up.
January 29th, 2008 at 9:55 pm
Stevo,
Yes, I always felt Gerry was superimposed- look under his knee, in it “flying in the air”?
January 29th, 2008 at 9:54 pm
Time to walk the dogs, until the announcement on Friday at 11.30am, I bid you a pleasant few days.

You’re welcome. There hasn’t been many new developments apart from Beatleman on the 19th so it’s given me a chance to do some housekeeping on the site and some researching. Plus I have several other sites on the go so I can earn my keep!
I feel we’re on the downward slope and not far from home. When it all hits the fan I think we’ll all breathe a huge sigh of relief.
One thing to note - notice how CM is involving the Sun in his campaign tomorrow night. The McCanns have abandoned the police on their website and only have the premium rate phone number on there. CM is enlisting Kelvin MacKenzie tomorrow night. Is this to try to recruit the masses again and get them on side?

Till later
I’ll try to read all the previous posts
