Madeleine McCann: Carlos Anjos Says, Clarence Mitchell Replies And The Daily Express Is Quiet
MADDYWATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann
THE SUN: “Maddie cops snub”
Carlos Anjos, head of the Portuguese Police Federation, says: “There are bigger problems in the police”, than the case of Madeleine McCann
Says Clarence Mitchell, the McCanns’ spokesman: “Mr Anjos is entitled to his opinion but it is entirely unhelpful”
This the same Carlos Anjos who once noted:
“There is no criminal investigation which can feed a news frenzy for six months, so what we have seen are both English and Portuguese journalists behaving in a scandalous and unprofessional way. Writing terrible stories in the papers, some of which have clearly affected the McCanns… now we have to say that the McCanns are partly to blame for this. Because it was something they created”
And then one of the oddest lines yet seen in a newspaper:
“Meanwhile cops have ruled out a theory the four-year-old could have been snatched by Swiss pervert Urs Hans Von Aesch. He blew his chance in august after killing a girl of five”
Anyone care to explain that comment?
DAILY STAR: “FIND MADDIE? WE’VE GOT BETTER THINGS TO DO. HEAD COP BLASTS McCANN SEARCH”
Says Mr Anjos: “There are bigger problems than the Maddie case”
Why the Star should appear shocked at this seem unclear, given the tabloid stories of paedophilia being rife in Portugal
Says Mr Anjos: “I am certain that all of my colleagues involved in the investigation are doing everything they can to discover what happened”
DAILY MIRROR: “Maddy’s ‘not our priority’”
Mr Anjos made his views known in Portuguese newspaper 24 Horas
MARI Luz Cortes – Still missing. Her father has posted a £110,000 reward, The paper reports that police are “scaling down the search”
DAILY MAIL: “Maddie? We’ve got bigger problems”
Says Mr Anjos: “But with respect, there are bigger problems in the Policia Judiciaria than the Madeleine case”
DAILY EXPRESS: NO MADELEINE NEWS – Which is the biggest Madeleine McCann news of the past six months
Madeleine McCann: hype, frenzy and speculation

None and with no one but you have been asking the same question over and over the last hourS.And people have answered you,honestly! Anoraks posters know an awful lot of things and compiled many infos over the last 8 months….take your pick.

IF we believe the papers [never heard him say anything about it] there are two versions:
1. he only listened at the door
2. he looked into the room and didn’t actually see Madeleine, thought the room was lighter.
How can he compare? Is it hindsight? Were the other shutters also down?
And how did he find his way around in the apartment? Any lights on?
He entered through the patio doors? And left by which door? [I think the front door was most logic if he went to check his own kid[s] also].

Not for Voldemort? Has the Jaarpie been bothering you again?

Of course, if they’re guilty then every last penny would have been spent on themselves.

They told us they used the fund to pay 2 instalments of their mortgage and they had living expenses while they were in PDL.

Wasn’t meant for Voldemort. Though I think you’re right, we need something stronger for him.

To get back to the subject of the story, of course the PJ have to scale down the investigation. That’s what all police departments have to do when there just isn’t any leads left to follow. Since she went missing shes never been seen There’s no real suspects. Theres other crimes to investigate and only limited resources. Its time to move on.
As for the police attitude towards K and G I think they are right, they courted publicity and have to suffer the backlash. And if they had watched their children like a good parent does, the PJ’s wouldn’t have to have spent all this time and money on a fruitless investigation.

The McCann are at the top of the company (Madeleine lt) of .

I’m not sure they really saw Madeleine though, and I don’t believe the men thought the apartment was lighter.

Karen,
I think the only check they could have made up is Oldfields [may be Tanner made it up too].
Gerry was seen by Wilkins. And Kate discovered Madeleine was gone.

I think they definitely lied about the timeline. If they checked as often as they said they did, I don’t think they would have enjoyed the meal. But I think they realised how awful it would sound and so made checks up.

Hi Carmen
Sorry, I was off to rehearsal so didn’t see your post. I think 79% would be a first or a 1:2 or something or other. I really don’t pay attention to these things though, I’m clueless about everything. My brother and sister were both in the 80s and 90s percentage-wise and I’m the bohemian idiot one.

If RR resumes posts on Anorak over the weekend am I allowed to converse with him or is it considered ‘ private conversation ‘ and I’m not allowed to engage in it?

Ciara-Louise,
I think they were just guessing, like:
we arrived around 8:30 and ordered some drinks. When did you arrive? Around 8:45. So around 8: 45 we ordered some drinks. and the first tapas round. So I guess at 9:00 or may be 9:05 I went …. and so on. IMO.

Still around, still taking notes, still counting them out. Quite a lot of them are staying out now. Did you see that Voldemort got a telling off a couple of nights ago and has not been back since?
