Madeline McCann: The Conclusion And St Valentine’s Day Posters
MADDYWATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann
DAILY RECORD: “Maddie Poster Blitz”
“Nearly 18,000 are being sent out across Spain. They will show Madeleine with either Mari Luz Cortes, five, or Yeremi Vargas, seven. They carry the headline No Nos Olvideis, Spanish for ‘Don’t forget us’
“Mari went missing in Huelva, 120 miles from the Portuguese resort of Praia da Luz, on January 13. Madeleine vanished from Praia da Luz on last May 3 .Yeremi disappeared on Gran Canaria in March 2007”
None of the other missing children’s parents have been named as suspects in their disappearance
Says Clarence Mitchell: “”We know the Portuguese police looking for Madeleine have examined both cases and our investigators have also looked at them and continue to keep an open mind”
DAILY MIRROR: “McCann case ‘is near end’”
Madeleine McCann has been found?
Portugal’s justice minister Alberto Costa says: “We are at a stage now where we are approaching the conclusion of the process”
DAILY EXPRESS: “POLICE READY TO ABANDON THE SEARCH FOR MADELEINE”
In “a flimsy attempt to defend the bungled police investigation” Alberto Costa “ claimed that 80 per cent of similar cases in Britain went unsolved”
Is this right? The WORLD’S GREATEST NEWSPAPER does not bother to investigate the claim
The McCanns’ spokesman Clarence Mitchell said: “If the Portuguese police are going to shelve the case without resolution then at the very least they must open the police files so that Metodo 3 (the private detective agency working for the McCanns) can continue to investigate all the leads. They could still have vital information which could solve this case”
THE GUARDIAN: “McCann inquiry drawing to a close, says minister”
Nine months after Madeleine McCann went missing while on holiday with her parents in Praia da Luz, the investigation into her disappearance is drawing to a close, the Portuguese justice minister said yesterday. “We are at a stage now where we are approaching the conclusion of the process,” Alberto Costa told a parliamentary committee hearing, though he could provide no details of the police investigation. Madeleine disappeared from her family’s holiday apartment in the Algarve on May 3, days before her fourth birthday. The McCanns returned to Britain in September.
THE TIMES: “Madeleine McCann investigation ‘nearing conclusion’”
Says Mr Costa: “People are talking of an ultimate failure, they are suggesting failure … I would say that that is premature”
Says Clarence Mitchell:
“There can be no conclusion to the investigation without Madeleine being found. If, however, the justice minister is referring to the aspects of the inquiry concerning Kate and Gerry being concluded, then they must be eliminated from the investigation forthwith as there is no evidence to implicate them in any way in the disappearance of their daughter. We also note that the minister implicitly criticised those in Portugal who were responsible for the many false and hugely damaging leaks to the press that have emanated from the country in recent weeks”
Francisco Pagarete, lawyer for Robert Murat, said: “If the minister is beginning to say that the inquiry will not be dragged out much longer, then he is effectively saying there will not be a trial.”
SKY NEWS: “Valentine’s Day Hunt For Madeleine” Valentine’s Day…
“The ‘Don’t You Forget’ Valentine’s Day campaign will send out images of the three missing youngsters to businesses and public sites across Spain and its islands”
HERALD SUN (Aus): Search for Maddie winding down”
Alipio Ribeiro, national director of the Policia Judiciaria (PJ), is likely to release the Mccanns from this status as early as today
NEW YORK TIMES: “The investigation into Madeleine McCann, the British girl who disappeared last May, just before her fourth birthday, from a hotel room in the southern Algarve region, is “approaching the conclusion,” said Portugal’s justice minister, Alberto Costa. He said it was “premature” to say whether the investigation would find out what happened to the girl”

If Maddy had been taken by an animal it would have left some DNA or a print of some sort. Very interesting thought though. It would have had to have been a big animal, like a black panther or something like that. What animals live in Portugal. Hard to believe Maddy has been gone for 12 months.
May 3rd, 2008 at 4:36 am
It has been a year now. I remember the case of a child taken by an animal and the parents were wrongly accused. This reminds me of that . Could Madeline been abducted by an animal in Portugal?
February 21st, 2008 at 12:29 pm
I know I am late with this observation but I am struck by the number of people thast sight Maddy yet seemingly only think to take a photo with a mobile.
Is she a new tourist attraction?

In any case, it is the private detectives who should be sharing information with the police, not the other way round. The police’s job is to find out what happened to Madeleine and anyone who has helpful information should inform them.

February 15th, 2008 at 9:42 am
IMO they want access to the files so they can come up with ‘wholly innocent’ explanations for any evidence the PJ have not already exposed. Gives them more of a chance to get their stories straight… I say …..PJ…… NO!!!!! lol

As if the PJ would ever allow a bunch of discredited Cowboy Tec’s to see
the files.

Why oh why do they not head on over to Portugal and answer the questions, if anything is going to convince people of their involvement/guilt it’s the refusal to cooperate!

Inspectors carried out five new interrogations
The investigations into the case of the disappearance of Madeleine are not stalled. And they can be extended for another three months
The Policia Judiciaria returned, last week, to the Ocean Club, the resort from where Madeleine McCann disappeared on May 3, 2007. 24Horas was able to establish that the PJ’s investigators went to hear five witnesses that had already given their depositions within the investigation.
According to senior officials in the PJ, these are normal investigative procedures. “Diligences have been carried out every day. A team of twenty investigators remains on the case, led by superior coordinator Paulo Rebelo. Several questionings have been repeated and the statements are being duly analysed to try to find some lead that might open a new investigation line”, a judicial official that is connected to the investigations guaranteed to 24Horas yesterday.
Michaela’s boyfriend questioned
24Horas was able to establish that one of the persons that were questioned again was the boyfriend of Robert Murat’s ex-partner, Michaela Walkzuch, a Portuguese man who used to clean the Ocean Club’s pools, called Luis Antonio.
Apart from that, the PJ still waits for the McCanns and the friends with whom they had dinner on the evening of the disappearance to be subject to new interrogations, in fulfillment of the rogatory letter that was sent by the Portuguese authorities. The same judicial source also stressed that a new request to the instruction judge at the Portimao Court, Pedro Frias, who holds the process, is being pondered,to extend the investigation deadline for an additional 90 days, if there is not a brief response to the aforementioned letter.
They can rest assured
The McCanns can rest concerning the investigations into the disappearance of their daughter, because they will not be closed until it is discovered what really happened to the child, an investigator of the case promised to 24Horas. “An investigation of this type is always open and all the clues that keep appearing are duly investigated”, he guaranteed.

Just-me,
I am going to span the oxen, to traverse the path, to collect you from the airport.
You will drown in chaos and kids, rabbits, dogs, birds and sunshine. You are more than welcome - and it is not easy living, but a lot of fun.

Good Morning Playmates!
Can anyone get their head around why Garth posted the link above as proof of stranger abduction through the window????
Is it me or………..

1114 Karen “In the beginning the McCanns were pretending to be able to see the apartment and the window rubbish is a by-product of that lie.”
Also a by-product of there initial claim [also stated by relatives after the phone calls, that the apartment was locked up. [Quite likely true, as no abduction]…..therefore necessary to have the abductor use the window. Only changed after that method was denied credibility……..laying themselves open to startling accusation of neglect and gross negligence……but the only route left open to them at that point imho of course

Hello Trismegistus,
It is snack time, so I popped in here. Pleasant surprise to happen upon you.
Has the case come to a conclusion yet? Of course it has and that is to proceed with the interviews of the other Tapas 8. And in my lucid visions and humble opinion, Clarence Mitchell will be one of the interviewed.
Such a beautiful day here, cobalt blue sky, a few fluffy white clouds, the gentlest breeze, a strong sun, and Friday.
