Madeleine McCann: Scare Stories, Kate McCann’s Job And No Mari Luz
MADDYWATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann
DAILY EXPRESS: “FIVE ATTEMPTED KIDNAPS LINK TO MADELEINE CASE”
“Detectives searching for Madeleine McCann are now investigating a spate of attempted child abductions across Portugal.
“At least five kidnap attempts have been reported in the past month, leading officers from the Madeleine team to examine the details for possible connections.”
What of the headline “link” to Madeleine McCann – well, the alleged attempted kidnappings all occurred in Portugal
But “Last week Justice Minister Alberto Costa revealed that the head detective, Paulo Rebelo, was coming to the end of his case”, says the WORLD’S GREATEST NEWSPAPER
Says Clarence Mitchell, the McCanns’ spokesman: “It’s alarming to hear that this sort of thing can happen, particularly in a country that is so aware of the potential for abduction”
DAILY MIRROR: “Maddy: 5 scares in Portugal”
Police searching for Madeleine McCann are also investigating five attempted child abductions in northern Portugal. They began when a nine-year-old girl was bundled into a car as she got off her school bus. Two more children were attacked last month and last Thursday two men tried to lure a girl of nine into a car. Last Saturday, another child escaped abduction. One police source said: “It is causing a lot of alarm.”
DAILY MAIL: “Madeleine McCann’s disappearance is ‘linked to a string of child abductions’”
Police investigating Madeleine McCann’s disappearance have been alerted over a spate of attempted child abductions in northern Portugal, it has been revealed. At least four children have been targeted in the last month in the region of Coimbra, where a nine-year-old girl escaped from an abductor in December.
It’s five children. The Express and Mirror both say its five
KATE McCANN: “Meanwhile, it is understood Kate McCann is quitting her job as a locum GP to devote her life to children’s charities. Mrs McCann has not returned to work since Madeleine’s disappearance in May and has reportedly told friends she feels she has a lot to offer charity organisations.
THE SCOTSMAN: “Torment of Madeleine’s family ‘is like being crucified’”
Kate McCann’s mother Susan Healey says: “It is almost like being crucified day to day. I read the most stupid things about Kate not crying enough or whatever”
Adding: “Kate and Gerry know they made a mistake and shouldn’t have left the children, they know that, but they certainly don’t deserve what has happened to them. If the Portuguese can’t find out what happened to Madeleine, we have to find out. There is no way Madeleine will fade into insignificance”
Gerry McCann is a “surgeon”
IRISH INDEPENDENT: “Missing Amy’s parents offer cash reward”
The parents of missing Irish expat Amy Fitzpatrick have offered a cash reward for information on her whereabouts. Franco Rey, spokesman for Amy’s Stepfather David Mahon and Amy’s mum Audrey, said: “A substantial reward is on offer to anyone who can provide reliable information on Amy’s whereabouts. Any information received will be treated within the strictest confidence.”
And:
Dubliner Mr Mahon (36) has also travelled to Tangiers in northern Morocco to investigate the possibility the teenager was snatched and taken to Africa.
Rewards have also been offered for missing Briton Madeleine McCann and missing Spanish girl Mari Luz Cortes. The family of five-year-old Mari Luz, snatched from her home in Huelva in south-west Spain on January 13, is offering €300,000 for information on her whereabouts. Rewards totalling £2.6m were offered within 10 days of Madeleine McCann’s disappearance on May 3 last year from the Algarve holiday resort of Praia da Luz.
TYPICALLY SPANISH: “parents of missing Mari Luz are against her image being used in a Madeleine McCann poster campaign”
Mari Luz’s father, Juan José Cortés, said after a meeting with Manuel Chaves, President of the Junta de Andalucía, this weekend, that, while he is not against collaborating in the search for Madeleine and ‘even helping to draw up a poster of all the missing youngsters,’ the lines of investigation into the disappearance of the two young girls are distinct, and are being carried out in two separate countries. EFE [Spanish news agency] said he is considering taking legal action for using his daughter’s image for the campaign.

- I haven’t seen the threads lock that much … sometimes if they’re dual threads.
- Don’t use an avatar so can’t help you there.
- Best poster is Coldwater IMHO, I posted one of his recent pieces earlier today on here have a look, its sounds very positive.
- My posting name is the same as here, I just don’t post very often (it’s a time limit thing).
Cheers … must dash …

Hi Matt
Depends how the interviews go and whether any charges are made IMO
My guess is their contract will not be renewed, the NSU Company will be
wound up through lack of Funds, and any monies left given to the McCanns
to finance thier “continued ” search for Madeleine. CM”s services will be dispensed with, leaving him free to write a book.
The Public is fed up here and probably around the World, and seeing how their
donations are being mis-spent will not give any more.
If the Arguido status is lifted, expect many profitable Interviews by the McCanns, to boost the coffers for their continued search you understand, also a few Documentaries and a possible Film. All IMO of course..

Anonymous the 1st,
I need to ask you some question about 3 Arguidos.
Why do they lock threads so quickly? Mostly when I find something I want to respond to it says you cannot post at the bottom.
Secondly - how do they get those avatars on the side, I think some of them are stunning.
Who are you most drawn to read in other words which posters do you give the most credibility? And finally what is your posting name there? I cannot imagine you would remain an eternal lurker.

You are of course completely correct.
I was simply trying to explain their mind set, or rather mental disorder if you look at what David Owen explains in his book.

Do you think Clarence Mitchell’s explanation that the Cortes parents had given a blanket approval of ‘anything you can do to help’ will help the McCanns avoid legal trouble? Will it protect them from negative public opinion? Will people take a negative view of the Cortes parents because of his comments?
_______________
I believe I read when their little girl went missing the McCanns offered any help they could give. However, that begs the issue - I can understand the Cortes reluctance to accept their help since the Mccanns are under suspect status in the disappearance of their little girl and they would not want to subject themselves to similar ongoing rants against the McCanns by accepting their help.

What does it matter if Bush and Co. are discredited? They’re still in office. They got the war they wanted (and were trying to find a way to start from before 9/11) with their false information cover story and little official objection from Congress or investigation from the media (what a surprise), even though there were mass protests in the US and worldwide before the attack on Iraq.
Same with G. H. W. Bush (the father)–he got the US into the Gulf War, made billions for his buddies. Do you think they really care what we think of them?
Not for a second. As far as these people are concerned, we are ants, not worthy of consideration–our opinions don’t matter to them, only our labor, blood, and money counts for anything.

Sorry about that very, very long link–will use tinyurl next time.
BTW, that’s a list from 2004. In 2005, the Waltons were worth less, so perhaps the $16 billion apiece is from even more recently and they are giving money away or losing it in the stock market…who knows. Maybe we’re not shopping at Wal-Mart enough, lol (I know that can’t be true.)
