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.

yep maybe that’s why they had to make sure the body would not be found

Not certain who you mean by ‘they’ but yes over here in the majority of the cases when a paedolphile takes a child and then takes their life the body is found hidden or buried in some other hard to find location. Then we’ve had those few cases where the abducted child is found years later alive.

Remember whoosh clunk and the guy who filmed Kate (who seemed to be a bit pissed vat the time, talking in an outside space to Jon Corner — well I don’t think he is a friend of the McC’s - you wouldn’t go out on a pre-recorded programme would you and still remain a friend? He was the guy who portrayed them as a normal family - inside their house - toys and all. He seems to be a double crosser.
If a friend of mine had done that - smirks and all - I’d of said CUT that out. You never know who are friends are do you? I think Jon Corner has an agenda of his very own. I also think he stitched Kate up on that footage.

A gift for the pro-mcliers

Your point is? Sad stories, weren’t they! Happens quite often in many countries including the UK! That little girl crying wolf - well ‘big girls’, known as grown women, also cry rape when no rape truly happened, so what is your point? As for deaths of those young children at the hands of their mothers’ boy friends…that is not unusual, unfortunately.
I noted the recent stories in the papers over in the UK. One was about a man who stood trial who was sexually abusing for some time the 58 day old baby that died. All the signs were there when it was taken often to the hospital or doctors and no one picked up on it until too late. Then that recent story I read over there about a wife who turned her husband in to the police when she found the horrendous porn and ‘movies’ he took while continually sexually abusing a 12 year child.
Over here is not all that uncommon, unfortunately, to read reports in the newspapers of babies - 1 or 2 years old found to be sexually abused by the mothers’ boy friends, babies’ step-fathers or just plain ‘friends’ who hang around the mothers’ place of abode.
Months ago the people throughout the U.S. woke up to the morning news with a picture of a darling little girl around 3 or 4 years old being shown with a disclaimer that although it is the policy not to show an abused victims’ face nor name the police were desperate and asking the public’s help in finding that young child. They had picked up a man who had a horrible child porn movie on him that he said a man gave to him. It was that young child being used in that movie, it was a ‘home made’ movie, one might call it. About a week or so went by with continuous publicity help find that child. The mother recognized the clothes and the child and contacted the police. She had no idea that had taken place with her child years before. It was a friend of a friend who hung around her place and when she wasn’t home …
so age is not a factor when those creatures strike!

Hi all,
Just looked at Cant say No” s post re 3Aguidos and scrolled down to read some of the posts on “Status of PJ Rogatory Letters.”
On 16th Feb at 8.15pm there is a post from “Photon” referring” to Oldfield having
returned to Portugal (presumably to amend his Statement?)
Anyone know anything about this?
