Madeleine McCann: Lying To Children, Ian McEwan And Questions
MADDYWATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann
DAILY MIRROR: “McCann pals face new quiz”
“It is understood Jane Tanner, Russell O’Brien and David Payne, three of the Tapas Seven, may be questioned over alleged inconsistencies in their statements”
“Understood” and “may.” Such are the facts. Such is the reporting
Say the McCanns’ family spokesman Clarence Mitchell said: “There is no suggestion Kate and Gerry will be re-interviewed”
And “suggestion”
DAILY RECORD: “One Last Try To Get Maddie Answers”
“Staff at the resort where Madeleine McCann vanished have again been quizzed by detectives. It comes as they prepare to re-interview pals of Kate and Gerry McCann in a last-ditch bid to crack the case”
Anyone we know questioned?
“Pool cleaner Luis Antonio, the husband of suspect Robert Murat’s girlfriend Michaela Walczuch, was one of five questioned in Praia da Luz”
Any reason why they were quizzed once more?
A judicial source tells Portuguese newspaper 24 Horas: “Several police interviews have been repeated. The statements are being analysed to try to find any lead that could result in a new line of investigation”
Analysing statements, eh. Technical stuff…
In his internet blog yesterday, Gerry McCann vowed not to give up looking for his young daughter, adding: “We hope the police are similarly determined”
DAILY EXPRESS: “POLICE LAST CHANCE TO FIND MADELEINE”
“Five staff members who were at the Ocean Club complex on the night she went missing have been quizzed in recent days as pressure mounts to conclude the investigation”
Why those five? Which five? The WORLD’S GREATEST NEWSPAPER does not say
THE SUN: “Cops’ final bid to solve Maddie”
Michaela Walczuch “who denies any involvement in Maddie’s disappearance – was allegedly spotted in Zaio, Morocco, on June 15, moments after a girl resembling Madeleine was seen being dragged away by an African woman”
Three of the McCanns’ freins witll be spoken to by police.
A “source” says: “It sounded like they were concerned about timeline inconsistencies. But if you have nine people not wearing watches, it would be suspicious if their times matched exactly”
DAILY TELEGRAPH: “Lying to children”
“From white lies to whoppers, vagueness with the truth is part of parenthood. But as Katie Tait learns from one psychologist, deceiving children is never justified”
Recently I told Kitty, our youngest child, that the police car had pulled us over because she was screaming in the back of the car (in fact I was, stupidly, speeding, but partly as a result of her noise). She is now mousey-quiet on journeys. My caprice over the tooth fairy has reached such an extent that the correspondence between “Molly” and my daughter Agnes fills two whole shoe boxes.
Then there are the areas that I don’t really want them to know the whole truth about. Will they get scared if I tell them that Madeleine McCann, whose picture they have seen everywhere, was taken from her bed? What about the news stories of dogs biting children to death? Will they ever go near next door’s puppy again? To me, vagueness with the truth is part of being a human being and certainly part of being a parent. But apparently, I am deeply wrong.
Maybe Katie’s children can read the truth in her article?
THE AGE (Aus): “The private and the public”
An interview with Ian McEwan, the author: “Journalists rang him because the disappearance of four-year-old Madeleine bore a dark similarity to the plot of his 1987 novel, The Child in Time, when a father has his three-year old girl stolen from him in a supermarket”
DVDTOWN: “GONE BABY GONE”
If you’re thinking that this film was a quick knockoff inspired by the real-life Madeleine McCann case–the little girl who disappeared from her family’s Portugal vacation home while her mom and dad were at a party not far away–it’s really just another case of life imitating art. Lehane’s novel about a four-year-old girl who turns up missing under similar circumstances was published way back in 1994.

How the UK government has ‘assisted’ the McCanns **
Another item, from Joana Morais’s blog page about British government pressure on the Portuguese police:
“November 30, 2007
A few minutes after the return to Faro of the team of experts that the PJ had sent to Leicester, Her Majesty’s British Ambassador to the Portuguese Republic was already visiting their premises. The presence of the diplomat, that has been confirmed by several journalist, is in direct relation with the Madeleine McCann case and was not asked by the Portuguese Authorities. The ambassador has stayed half an hour with the police.”
http://joana-morais.blogspot.com/2007/12/madeleine-portuguese-police-under.html

** I use the term ‘assist’ to mean each of three things: 1) in the normal sense we all understand, 2) how much of the assistance appears to have harmed the McCanns in the long run, rather than helped them (at least in terms of public perception), and 3) that the assistance that is being provided may be on the behalf of someone other than the McCanns, for instance the elusive alleged Tapas 10 member some suspect to exist

I think your being rude again. What have i done to offend you? I notice you have stated your intention not to watch zeitgeist the movie. What are you afraid of? Aren’t you even curious to know what it is about? It might help you understand the M case from a different perspective.

Ciara-Louise,
Yes and why no interviews with the other guests?
I was there when she got abducted or
It could have been our daughter
We only know a few names of other guests. I can imagine that by now they don’t want to be part of the media circus. But at that time?
On the other hand, when do people arrive and depart at that resort?
Anybody knows? If I remember correctly the McC’s would be leaving May 5th. Were the other guests allowed to leave at May 5th with or without being interviewed?

Finally, things begin to move. The British police are preparing to carry out further interrogation. Indeed, until now, the investigation into Madeleine was making more, it was standing … At least at the level media on the sidelines because many things are happening. In short, the letters of request, written in close collaboration with the British authorities, were sent for the second time. The first time, the Home Office, had returned to referring to a procedural error. But without these interrogations, the Portuguese police can not move properly. The Attorney General of the Portuguese Republic is not known how long this impasse will last from the Home Office. Rumours show a political will to dealing with the issue until after the elections scheduled in May in Britain. However, the Ministry of Interior had received a British official request from the Portuguese authorities. The letters rogatory, version 2, arrived since 03 February in the UK. The letter made the request for a hearing by Jane Tanner, Russell O’Brien and David Payne in order to verify and clarify certain points to inconsistencies in the various statements. We know, too, that two more suspects will be placed under statute “arguidos.”
The investigation stalled?
From a media point of view, nothing seems to move. Aside from the latest political twists policies of the case, the press remained well miserly information on the case. But the investigation is continuing. Excavations are underway and will continue. The GP is seeking the body of Madeleine it is no longer any doubt to the police Maddeleine is deceased. The police actively seeking the second spot where the body of Madeleine was “filed” and where, in all likelihood, it would be even. Recall that the police knows perfectly the first place where the body of Madeleine was “stored”. Thus, based on the GSM triangulations used by the various parties in that case, police conducting excavations at specific locations. Indeed several enormous tracts of land are the subject of much attention. Half of them had already been searched. Dams entire polled were even with the help of a sonar. The police seemed confident in his research and where the body of the little girl is actually retrieved, it will change dramatically the facts of the case.
ere”s the next episode, easy when you know how.!!!!!!

You are not understanding my point. Go deeper. People have been programmed to have a bad reaction to dope. It is a truth drug for heaven’s sake, that why it’s called the weed of wisdom by those in the know.
Get away?
I always thought it was called dope for that very reason

Yes, there hasn’t been a lot of talk about the other guests present on May 3rd or their statements. I wonder why MW felt the need to move employees? If they weren’t witnesses or anything then why?
