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.

OOARH How be ye ,
Just after you left last night Firestar posted, very funny p… take on all you who
have started using “accents on you names. I did reply, but he never came back.
Was it Oldfield who was to check on the McCann children at 9.30, said he saw
the twins from the doorway, but didn”t go inside to see Madeleine.

Oldfield was the one that checked on 5a at 9.30pm when both G & K were in the bar. Did G ask him to do it or did he volunteer?
If G asked him and he is not part of this then I’d say G&K framed him to discover Maddie missing.

“Have you heard of PJ coming, honey?”
“Why?” - “To question the friends and the nanny”.
Those who wear pink shirts
Cried: “Unhelpful, and hurts!”
And continued to spend our money.

I’m back. Some friends bursted in and had dinner at our place. No chicken nor rooster though but chicory with french cheese in the oven.
Jo asked [post 1007] “Exactly how many staff were employed at Ocean Club Resort around May 3rd, 2007?”
I’d like to ask: how many guest [adults and children] were staying at OCR around May 3rd, 2007 and how many have been questioned. When have they been questioned? DNA/fingerprints? Why is it necessary to ask people to upload their holiday pictures? Why didn’t the police collect them around May 3rd or afterwards? Why did MW transfer employees to other places? Who was transferred and when?

Hi Totje! I’m willing to wager the ‘new’ Investigator has many of the answers to questions you listed and working on others left unanswered. Not to mention some new ones of his own! Don’t you remember he literally had to restart the investigation from scratch? Do you recall early on it was requested that all British citizens who were there at the time to contact the authorities, if I’m not mistaken? As for holiday pictures - many times pictures shows a trained eye something an untrained eye doesn’t see!
Being a amateur sleuth can be quite interesting and sometimes helpful but the trained experts in their field are the ones I usually have total trust in. You know what I really respect about him along with his impressive credentials and methodical way he is working this case? I respect the fact he is keeping his mouth shut, no leaks nothing! He is doing a job he is paid to do and not feeding the rumour mills!

I was talking about my own choices, not insisting that others must follow my path.
Bees provide a necessary function in nature–without them, survival would be difficult for much plant and animal life on the planet.
Dental care is vital to good health in minimizing tooth loss and infection spreading throughout the body.
Recreational drug use is an optional choice for most, with the exception of those who are suffering from chronic pain or suffering from illness.
To me, that makes the risk/benefit ratio a bit different for the drugs. Does that make any sense?

It horses for courses Jolie, what you have just been talking about is a hardcore psychadelic, and where some people will be ok, there are some that won’t.
17 people a year on average die of bee stings in the UK
Approx 15 children under the age of 8 die from dental anaesthesia in the Uk every year
Adults should be able to decide what harm they do to themselves (imo) when given the true facts, a well imformed choice can be made. Because lets face it, almost everything comes with a degree of risk these days. But I don’t think it should be down to anyone else to tell someone how they can treat their own body.

If you read my posts to Jolie 1318/1330, if true the PJ are still looking and digging.
Last night I posted that a Psychic from another Forum said she had been “told”
that Madeleine was between 2 and 4 miles from PDL, not buried, among stones,grass, and sand. Apparently she had been taken by someone grieving.
Obviously, this could be completely untrue, but it is a known fact that the Police
usePsychics and anything is possible , apparently, she informed the Police, so maybe that”s why they are still searching.
