Madeleine McCann: Alipio Ribeiro’s Thinks, Clarence Mitchell Knows And A Birthday
MADDYWATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann
DAILY STAR ON SUNDAY: “MADDIE COPS SAYS SORRY – Police ‘too quick’ “to blame parents”
“A top policeman has sensationally admitted that making Gerry and Kate McCann suspects over their daughter Maddie’s disappearance was too ‘hasty’. Alipio Ribeiro, boss of the Portuguese department in charge of the investigation, dropped his bombshell in a radio interview”
Says Clarence Mitchell, the McCanns spokesman: “Now that the national director of the Policia Judiciaria apparently acknowledges that they should never have been made arguidos, it follows there is no case for them to answer.”
SUNDAY EXPRESS: “POLICE ‘TOO HASTY’ OVER MCCANNS”
“As the couple bravely celebrated the third birthday of their twins, Sean and Amelie, one of Portugal’s most senior detectives admitted that making them suspects had been a “hasty” mistake”
Did Mr Alipio Ribeiro say “mistake” in his radio interview?
Says the paper: “The couple, both 39, said the official’s comments were tantamount to an admission that Portuguese detectives had bungled by centring their investigation on them.”
Says Mr Ribeiro to Portugal’s Radio Renascenca, owned by the Catholic Church:
“At this moment in time and speaking with the experience I have of Portugal’s Public Prosecution Service and the constitution of arguidos, I think there perhaps should have been another assessment before the McCanns were made official suspects.
“I don’t have any doubt about that. The national director of the Policia Judiciaria doesn’t give out orders on the constitution of arguidos but there was a certain hastiness”
Says the paper: “Last night Ribeiro was under growing pressure to stand down as national director of their country’s Policia Judiciaria”. Pressure from, whom?
MAIL ON SUNDAY: “”Police chief: We were too quick to make Gerry and Kate ‘arguidos’”
Says the Mail: “Kate and Gerry McCann’s bid to clear their names over the disappearance of their daughter Madeleine has been given a massive boost after the head of Portugal’s police admitted it had been a mistake to rush into making them official suspects”
Mr McCann says: “We need a breakthrough and this looks like it could be one. It is fantastic news. We still have a long way to go but people in Portugal need to understand what has been happening and what we have been going through. We know it will take the police a long time to accept what has been happening is wrong but it is an important step towards that”
Says the McCanns’ lawyer in Portugal, Carlos Pinto de Abreu: “Many people who may have vital information have possibly not come forward as they wrongly suspected the McCanns”
What about that huge reward, and doing the right thing? People may be deterred from coming forward for fear of being named in the media and questioned by Metodo 3, the McCann’s private investigators. But let us not speculate
SUNDAY PEOPLE: “MADDIE U-TURN - EXCLUSIVE Cops admit mistake on twins’ birthday”
“Kate and Gerry McCann threw a birthday bash for their twins yesterday - as a top cop admitted it was WRONG to name them as suspects over missing Maddie”
Well, Policia Judiciaria “boss” Alipio Ribeiro, said the police acted too hasilty. “Ribeiro last night faced calls to resign over the astonishing U-turn” – although from whom, the paper does not bother to say
Say the McCanns: “The support we have had from around the world has been amazing. It’s helped maintain our strength and hope and this has helped the search for our precious Madeleine. We believe there is a very good chance she is still alive. She deserves the love and security of her family. She needs to be back home with her mummy and daddy, brother and sister”
THE GUARDIAN: “Police chief says ‘we were too hasty’ in naming McCanns as suspects”
“In an interview to be aired on Portuguese radio today, Alípio Ribeiro, the national director of the Polícia Judiciária, will concede that police may have acted too soon in making Kate and Gerry McCann formal suspects, known in Portugal as arguidos. His comments were interpreted last night by the McCanns as a tacit admission that the police were wrong to name them as being involved in the disappearance of their four-year-old daughter”

I have a theory.
Maybe Madelaine is still alive. A complete mess but alive.
A drug trial was done on the wee girl. Maybe the trial had been going on for a while. Maybe the trial fucked up in Portugal. Something like her aging process suddenly speeding up or her body swelling up to twice the size (still prob fit in a blue bag the wee thing) or her eyes popping. Something really wierd like that.
Once this reaction to the drug happened a call was made to England for advice. The drug was top secret and had to have government approval in the first place. The government panacking a little and quickly realising the damage for such immoral research could be fatal decided in a cover up. The major financiers behind this drug trial also realised that good reputations will be ruined. So agreed to also finance the cover up and assist in any way possible. Supplying planes trips or 24 hour window repair service and the like.
Thus a flow of people into the saga. Clarrie coming on board to control the lot of them.
Gerry I think at this stage felt really safe. His back was covered and he started to enjoy the limelight. So much so that the whole business mushroomed too fast. He loved the centre stage, although he seemed more nervous when Kate was along side. He courted more famous people than most people see on tv in a life time. He turned it into a us v Portugal and many brits closed ranks and waved their private parts at the PJ. But the one major block to all this is that now the PJ wont take advice and give up. They are going to fight ‘David”. They won’t go away. Ha ha.
Back to a secret hospital…….somewhere in Scotland maybe…..
If Madeliene was alive still, maybe covered pussy lesions, her brain inflating and deflating pushing mucas out of her nose and ears! There would a proffesional need to investigate the effects and gain extra knowledge that would make this drug safe. Who knows it could a matter of eliminating one chemical reaction and this drug would be worth billions. High stakes. Say it was a cure for cancer. Maybe Madeleine did have cancer (she is small and has a funny eye )and for a while the drug worked.
At least it did till May 1st > may 3rd. When the nightmare started for the Tapas 9. Cause I reckon they know of the trail, or at least the majority do. But it seems more likely they were all in on it, including the cowardly Tapas 10 who wont come forward.
So she was kept alive and transported back to England/Scotland, via a private jet, no customs, where at this moment the best Doctors are working frantically to both discover the cause of Madeleines weird reaction and to keep her alive so they can release her in Morocco.
She was to be ready for release before Xmas but she had a relapse.
Explains quick involvement of Government.
Explains why the McCanns have so many high profile financial backers.
Explains Gerry being allowed back to work.
Explains the shut down of the British press over the matter.
Explains lack of cooperation to Portuguese police.
Explains the potential DNA balls up.
Explaind the silence of the Tapas
Explains all these new pieces of information that seem like they were planned by a 10 year old.
Explains why even the Catholic Church thought it was to dodgy to touch.
Explains a lot.
Explains that this is good oil I’m smoking too.
People are shitting themselves all the way up the chain. A chain is only as strong as it’s weakest link. Several links have walked away but the chain still remains intact. Getting rusty but still holding.

More of interest on Brian Kennedy……
Usually Brian Kennedy’s Latium Group is mentioned in McCann-related media articles, but not his significant property business. Another case of revelation by omission? Or, just that “Mr Kennedy is best-known as the owner of Sale Sharks and the Everest double glazing business”, and so reporters do not mention his property empire.
Manchester Evening News articles
Kennedy property arm secures £60m boost
Kevin Feddy
21/ 5/2007
A PROPERTY business owned by Sale Sharks and Everest double glazing chain tycoon Brian Kennedy has secured a £60m funding boost for expansion…
Matthew Jones, director of property finance at the Royal Bank of Scotland, said: “This deal puts Patrick Properties in an excellent position to continue the growth and success they have achieved during the course of the last few years.”
…Patrick Properties, established in 2002 by Mr Kennedy and managing director Andrew Dickman, is based in Wilmslow and specialises in developing and refurbishing office and industrial sites across the north.
It has built a portfolio worth around £80m, which includes warehousing on the Knowsley Industrial Park, a development in Glossop and sites on Broadway Business Park, Chadderton, Premier Park in Winsford, Cheshire, and Crewe Business Park. It also owns land and property in Burnley, Carrington and Wigan.
Its tenants include Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Honda and Cheshire Police. Mr Dickman said the company would now look to acquire further properties as a result of the funding package from the Royal Bank of Scotland.
“This deal provides us with the capital to grow and develop the business, and take advantages of opportunities that exist in the north west commercial property market,” he said.
10 acres
He said the market was buoyant and Patrick would seek acquisitions of sites of at least 10 acres, as well as carrying out improvements to its existing properties.
Patrick Properties is understood to be eyeing targets in Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Merseyside…
Kennedy touches down in Glossop
David Thame
25/10/2004
Patrick Properties has also invested in Crewe and elsewhere in the north west since it was created two years ago.
The company has been part of Kennedy’s strategy to diversify his business. The latest deals follow the sale last year of the Everest double-glazing business for ‘63m.
Manchester property is fast turning into a rich man’s game.
…According to a survey published this month[October, 2004], the north west’s ten richest property barons are worth an astonishing ‘2.9bn between them.

Just wondering how common it is (in Scotland) to be raised in that religion.
http://www.newsco.com/productsandservices/archive/nwbi/2006-07/lunch
Some whisperers throw in the anecdote that he’s a Jehovah’s Witness, as if that would draw a streak of eccentricity across his character. The truth is he is driven by a faith in God, and was indeed raised in that religion, but he’s not a strict adherent and is driven by the same gods as many entrepreneurs… The sun is shining on Cheshire, where he lives, and he’s in the midst of shoring up his bid for Ultraframe, a business desperately in need of a turnaround job.

From Correio da Manha 4/2/08 (Translation by Li 3As)
Investigation: the suspicion concerning the couple continues
Magistrate asks silence to the Director of the Criminal Police
The experience of Alípio Ribeiro as a magistrate “perhaps” had led him “to another evaluation,” he said to the Radio Renascença about the decision of the public prosecutor (MP) in constituting the McCanns arguidos.Meanwhile a source close to the national director of the PJ told the CM that when he spoke of “precipitation” he was misinterpreted, the President of the Association of Magistrates of the Public Prosecutors responds: “I do not know if he is right or not, but this conduct of speaking about pending cases is extremely worrying. ”
Anthony Cluny says he does not know the process, but what “concerns him is starting to see that the high responsible for the legal institutions do not restrain themselves to comment on pending cases - which can lead precisely to misinterpretation. ” And he leaves an implicit appeal to the Director of the PJ, ” this kind of situation should not be repeated: it’s needed containment and reserves in the speech” from now on.
In any case, the CM found that the suspicions of the PJ on the McCanns concerning the eventual death of their daughter remain. And a source close to Alípio Ribeiro says that the words of the director will have been in the sense that if Kate and Gerry had been kept witnesses, as would dictate the new Criminal Procedure Code (CPP), “perhaps they had not depart immediateyl to England . And they would be more cooperative with the Justice. ”
The day the PJ decided to tighten the siege to the McCanns,with searches and interviews of 11 hours to Kate, for example, “there was no other option but to constitute them arguidos” - we were on September 7 and the new CPP came into force a week later. The current law requires that there is a “reasonable suspicion” to constitute anyone arguido and, until September 15, “any suspicion that existed obliged to that constitution.”
The suspects benefited with the measure taken and ” the investigation was undermined.” If the Public Prosecutor had expected one week for the new law, “it would be possible to keep them as witnesses and they would be more cooperative with the following steps.”
Instead, we are seeing for more than two months an attempt to question the friends of the couple, by rogatory letters that, as the CM published last week, have not yet left the Attorney General’s Office.
“THERE WAS A PRECIPITATION”: Alípio Ribeiro, director of the PJ
-Do you consider that there was a precipitation in constituting arguidos Kate and Gerry McCann?
Alípio Ribeiro - Today, at this distance, with the experience I have as a public prosecutor - although the constitution of defendants in investigations … the Director of the Judicial Police does not give orders - perhaps another evaluation should have been made. I have no doubt about that.
- Was there some precipitation?
- There was some precipitation.

In 2002, Brian Kennedy was ranked No. 203, up from No. 394 the year before. He was born in Edinburgh, not far from the McCanns at Castle Craig, and the Winyards at Stobo Castle.
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/richlist/person/0,,6821,00.html
The Edinburgh-born Kennedy, 41, started in a bank but soon quit to become a kitchen salesman. He later went into double glazing but his first venture failed in 1992. Learning from that, he bought Weatherseal Holdings, the double glazing firm, from receivers for £50,000. It has formed the basis of Latium. Kennedy also owns Sale rugby club. His business interests are worth £145m, and we add £10m for other wealth.

Châtelaine
“find the money lead”
Below is information from the Castle Craig Hospital page. John McCann is Gerry’s brother, but the other McCanns have not been identified that I know of.
On the property adjacent to Castle Craig Hospital lives Stephen Winyard, who owns Stobo Castle. Winyard is one of the trio of millionaires supporting the McCanns. He also solicited staff at Castle Craig, according to a news report.
Winyard’s Stobo Castle was one of several destinations mentioned in 2003 as used by pharmaceutical companies in granting doctors the special favor of a holiday. “Dr Des Spence, a Glasgow GP and spokesman for the No Free Lunch movement in Scotland, which monitors the pharmaceutical industry, has refused offers from pharmaceutical companies of trips to Dublin, Stobo Castle near Peebles, Gleneagles and St Andrews…Controversy has long surrounded the practice of pharmaceutical companies giving gifts to medical staff…”

Winyard’s brother Clive is Managing Director of Castle Care Cosmetics, LTD.
Stobo Castle, and Castle Craig Hospital are both located in Peeblesshire, Scotland.

Personally I think Mods and Admin would have been greatly respected if they had taken some controlling action regarding the pointless claims being made by the poster ’sledgehammer’.
He does actually post lies - for example, claiming that noseycow had been corrected by him regarding her repeating a view apparently spawned by myself and of course the famous claim that an announcement would be made on Friday at 11:30.
Of course if Anorak is happy with threads being taken over with debates about such wild claims, then no moderation was required.
Some rather good posters have left the thread as a result of such posters as sledgehammer, which is a shame.
If posters have close links with vested interests and Mods and Admin are aware, then it would be nice to be warned so we would take their posts more seriously - or ignore them if told they are not telling the truth regarding their links.

OK…….for me it is pretty much like Chatelaine……there is simply a huge amount of highly suspicious behaviour on the part of many. Some how that needs to be resolved / explained to my satisfaction…….I can imagine various scenarios where different members of our ‘cast’ are implicated to greater or lesser degrees. As long as I am convinced that nothing is still being covered up……..I have no particular desire for one outcome over another…apart from hoping to discover least possible suffering for Madeleine. Will never be satisfied if anything is ’swept under the carpet’, and in particular the Maman’s money trail…….[I would say money/power/reputation]. So getting to the bottom of this is about equally important for me because it threatens our democracy, our freedom of the press and speech, our ‘equality before the law’ privileges. Hugely important case….imho

Regarding the coloboma, it could be caused by a genetic mutation which was not inherited from either parents, just a defect that developed in a gene for some reason. If a condition is “hereditary”, then that would be inherited and from a faulty gene, but the converse is not necessarily true. Thus, a hereditary condition is genetic but a genetic condition is not necessarily hereditary. Coloboma is a defect that occurs when the channel through which the eye receives its nutrients whilst it is developing in the womb fails to close and there is a greater incidence of this (and other serious eye defects) in IVF babies than in naturally conceived ones. Most are fine though. Coloboma is sometimes accompanied by other inherited defects, but it is usually not an inherited problem. Drugs and radiation to which the egg or sperm have been exposed could conceivably cause such a developmental defect in the child.
I have never heard of the fertilisation procedure you describe. It sounds like cloning by parthenogenesis, in which only a female child can result as an ova (egg) is used. There are other hypothetical ways to clone and the first steps have probably been accomplished, but we cannot be sure that a human clone has ever been born (though we hear such claims from time to time from various clinics elsewhere in the world, notably in Canada a few years ago).
I would eat my hat if there was a queue of lesbians for this procedure as I don’t think any such procedure is available anywhere in the world.
I agree with you that the child we have been seeing pictures of looks like Kate and is probably her genetic child, but the child on the tricycle doesn’t look particularly like Kate to me and has some facial features reminiscent of a Down’s syndrome child. However, this may not be the case. It could explain, though, why a child might not be accepted into a family.

755 = Tony - when I first saw this photo - I did not think it looked atall like Madeleine. The only similarity in my opinion is the hair, but then kids do look very different on some photos to others, and they change so very rapidly between 3 and 5 years old. Bye the way - when I asked about how folk felt about the possibility of the Mcs being guilty - I for one have always felt that they are hiding something. Dont know what exactly but a gut feeling. I hope that whatever happens the courts find them guilty of neglect and hang them out on the line as an example of how NOT to be if you have children. I dont know them, but I dont like them, and I would never ever be able to excuse them for leaving their 3 children alone. What really really gets to me is the self protection - everything about them is to protect theirselves or their image. What I really would like to hear is that they would welcome being charged with neglect….something they cannot deny, and they see how things panned out

Tony, I don’t think you can say it is definitely Madeleine just because she is wearing pink! I don’t agree that she always wears pink - there are some pictures in which she is wearing red. I don’t know whether or not it is M, but it does look different from the other pictures - facially.
