Madeleine McCann: Melissa Fiering Sees, An Algerian And Waldo
MADDYWATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann
THE SUN (front page): “MADDIE SEEN IN FRANCE”
“Eye-defect girl in cafe” – Why do they stare, daddy?
DAILY MIRROR: “I SPOTTED MADDY AT CAFE IN FRANCE”
A picture of Melissa.
“’This is so significant because the girl noticed the blemish in the eye and it’s on CCTV for first time’ - McCANN FAMILY SPOKESMAN CLARENCE MITCHELL LAST NIGHT”
This is the Mirror’s “EXCLUSIVE THE HUNT FOR MADELEINE”
To France:
“The little girl was spotted in a motorway service station cafe by student Melissa Fiering, 18, who insists she clearly saw the distinctive flaw in her right iris”
Says Melissa: “My friend and I had music playing loudly out of our mobile phones and this little girl was dancing to it. It was only when I looked closely at her I realised it was Madeleine. She had a very thin face and her blonde hair had been cut much shorter, down to her jaw. But it was her”
Why so certain?
“I looked in her eye because I’d seen on TV that Madeleine’s got a defect in her right iris and I saw this girl had it. I could hardly believe my eyes but I knew for sure it was Madeleine. I called out her name and she looked up at me - she obviously recognised it”
Obviously. Dancing with a small child and then you shout out a name and she looks at you…
“But when I called out ‘Madeleine’ the man she was with got worried and started dragging her away from the queue”
The man with Madeleine is described as a “dark-skinned man, who was possibly Algerian”. Blonde girl with dark-skinned man. Like her?
What did Melissa do when he was spotted, this swarthy man?
“As he dragged the girl away he threw a white coat over her and pulled a woollen hat from his pocket and jammed it on her head. Melissa adds: ‘He didn’t say a word but as they got to the door he prodded the girl in the back. I tried to take pictures on my phone but I only got one and it was all blurred. I ran outside after them but they’d vanished”
Vanished?
“WE HAVE THE GUN THAT KILLED RHYS”
Rhys Jones was killed in Liverpool, shot by a youth on a bike
“Rhys’s mum Melanie, 42, and dad Stephen, 45, who have received a message of sympathy from Madeleine McCann’s family, issued a statement for tomorrow’s six-month anniversary of the shooting”
Why do we know this?
The message says: “We are still struggling to come to terms with the loss of our beautiful son Rhys. The pain we have had to face every day has been magnified by the poignancy of occasions like Christmas and Rhys’s 12th birthday. The last six months have been a living nightmare. All we want is justice for our son”
Rhys Jones is murdered in Liverpool. Rhys Jones was 11 years old. His parents are not suspects
DAILY EXPRESS: “MADELEINE IN NEW ‘SIGHTING’ AT RESTAURANT”
Dutch woman. A restaurant? Not a therapist. A student
The Dutch student is “100 per cent certain” she saw Madeleine McCann in a roadside restaurant in southern France
Says Melissa: “I called out ‘Madeleine’ and she looked up. The man with her was about six feet tall, with black hair, a black leather jacket and several days growth of stubble. He put on her coat and hat and bundled her away”
She adds: “I can’t stop thinking about it. I wish I had stopped that man. I wanted to pick her up, I am sorry I didn’t do that”
LIVERPOOL DAILY POST: “Madeleine McCann ’spotted’ in Southern France”
NEW YORK DAILY NEWS: “Student claims to have sighted Madeleine McCann in France”
A reader comments: “Is this kid going to replace Waldo?”
ASSOCIATED PRESS: “French police investigating an alleged sighting of Madeleine McCann in southern France have determined it was not the missing British girl.
A police official says a Dutch tourist reported that she may have seen McCann at a roadside restaurant. Examining closed-circuit video footage, the investigators spotted a man and a young girl who resembled McCann, but determined it was not her.

coolandcalm,
can you please answer in a direct way? Have you used any other names on anorak? No or yes (and if yes, which, please?). We all have no reasons to use multiple names except for pretending that someone else supports our views. That’s why I would appreciate if you answer clearly, I answered you very clearly about myself.

The mccans Have to wait to know if this is Madeleine or not?
I just cant take it.Just cant.
I doubt very very much the cops or a juge would make them wait hours on end to tell them if yes or not.

Ah Jo you’re back.
Last night you did a similar smiley when someone accused another of being a troll.
I have asked already for any reason/explanation for this but no one has answered me.
It appeared you understood.
Can you explain to me please?

They are not too keen on travelling out of the UK presently.

Would that have something to do with a euro warrant?

Dr Watson………..
I have no reason to use multiple names as my real name is in the anorak arena anyway as our my views.
February 21st, 2008 at 3:11 pm
Hello all.
Another McSpinning day.
Anyone tell me which European countries haven’t had sightings yet?
I need to know where to go for my holidays so I can avoid areas where Madeleine has been seen.
Will I be safe to go to Greece, Italy or Austria?
Garth:
You had a dig at me yesterday for reporting non facts, and not getting my facts straight.
On one of your later posts you scoffed at the report of Kate sleeping through the night 5 days after her daughter had gone missing, basically saying don’t believe all you read in the press.
Kate herself announced that fact, to an astonished audience, in a “live ” television interview, quickly adding that the first few days obviously not, but then . And I do believe she shrugged.
Her mother also confirmed it and then said that Madeleine came to Kate when she was sleeping.
On another note how are you today?
And how’s everyone else

Mccanns cautious about the new sighting.
How comes they are not yet in france getting hold of the video to have a very closed look at it…..is this because they dont even believe in the abduction anymore?
