Madeleine McCann With Britney Spears And David Beckham
MADDYWATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann
THE SUN: “Maddie resort ‘perv’ snaps Brit”
“A suspected pervert who fled the resort where Maddie McCann vanished is taking photos of Britney Spears in LA, The Sun can reveal.
“Christian Ridout, 32, is wanted for questioning in Praia da Luz, Portugal, for allegedly trying to groom a 12-year-old girl”
DJ Shifty..?
“But for several months Ridout has used the name Dexter Troy to work as a paparazzo in Hollywood, where he has trailed the likes of Britney, David Beckham and Kiefer Sutherland”
Says Ridout: “These allegations are ridiculous. At the time of Madeleine McCann’s disappearance I was in London. I have not been to Portugal for three years”
But Britney Spears. Madeleine McCann. Both in the same story. Remarkable stuff at the Sun. has Ridout every taken a picture of Princess Diana? We demand to be told…
DAILY MIRROR: “McCann: Clear our name bid”
“Kate and Gerry McCann are planning a formal appeal to be cleared as suspects over missing daughter Madeleine, it was revealed yesterday. Lawyers for the couple, both 39, in Portugal and Britain, held talks to decide the timing of an application to lift their ‘arguido’ status”
McCanns talks with lawyers – read all about it!

Re. the Telegraph item.
Do you believe that the PJ haven’t got a shred of evidence? Just have to drop the case then forget all about it then. Move along now, there’s nothing to see.

I just don’t know anymore. It’s only another newspaper story after all.

There was an announcement about this on ITV1 at 11.45am , but no mention of interviews.
I posted the news here and there has been quite a solemn atmosphere, probably why not many posters. I queried whether the McCanns could still be charged with neglect, but no one seems to know. IMO if the PJ is relying on anomalies in the Tapas9 statements, consider the case closed. There are bound to be discrepancies , who will remember what they said 9 months ago? I dont”even think the Tapas9 will be interviewed , why spend any more money and time?

This cant be true!
Too many dirty hands in this case and this could be the only reason.

The Telegraph headline shocked me, but the text …
unless “screaming contradictions” are revealed in forthcoming police interviews, according to a Portuguese newspaper.
According to a Portuguese newspaper, which doesn’t quote anyone.
I find it positive to understand that exactly at this moment it’s being discussed [or already decided?] that telephone and enhanced DNA are/will be acceptable evidence in a UK court case !

Detectives investigating Madeleine’s disappearance from the family’s rented holiday apartment in Praia da Luz on May 3 last year, do not have a shred of evidence against the McCanns, reported the respected broadsheet, Expresso.
After forensic tests proved inconclusive and a thorough review of the case by detectives in the Algarve uncovered nothing new, “the judicial police do not have any proof or evidence whatsoever against Madeleine’s parents,” it stated.
“They will only remain arguidos if there are screaming contradictions revealed in the answers to the letters sent to England.”
Legal letters containing 40 questions that Portuguese detectives want to put to the McCanns will be sent to the UK authorities this week following months of bureaucratic delays.

Man on the hill

Cheer up!
Look…it is dead silent
No spin or a very weak attempt
Whatever has happened within the PJ it doesnt seem to have altered the course of the investigation/letters and more than anything: they are still arguidos and unless there is an official announcement from the PJ,nothing has changed.
I agree it is slow but it is the best way to handle that awful case.
Time and patience.
I believe we will have some news soon and whatever the outcome,there are some people who simply are going to be lynched.
Whatever the outcome the mccanos have LOST everything
February 9th, 2008 at 4:38 pm
sorry jo - an old friend fro uni (many many years ago) is due any moment
she’s having a midlife crisis
so i predict many hours of excessive drinking, smoking, and moaning about men tonight
oh and chocolate of course
