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,
you answer means that you avoid saying no. It means that you have other usernames here. I do not mind, but I won’t communicate with you ever again, as I do not debate with multiposters .

Yampster, I think you are a disgusting individual in real life. Honestly believe so. Very unpleasant and unhappy also. And ill, as your other personas are. And badly educated, and earning not much, and very worried about that. A stupid bully you are, in my honest opinion. I have no inclination to communicate with you, and will scroll you.
My apologies to M&A, I will not say this again, I have expressed my views.
February 21st, 2008 at 3:51 pm
Dr Watson… discuss it with M&A if its a problem to you. I can’t actually be bothered with you! (and your alter egos)
Yampster…. he’ll be adding my name next have no fear! Roll em out roll em out..

Does it really matter if people have other names? Just so long as they are not abusive! If you don’t like their views then ignore them!

Any chance you could answer my post 260….please
I would be very grateful to understand why I can’t see something which is obviously so obvious to others. Thank you.

One does. Couldn’t one C&C employ the same tactic with Wobbler Watson as it seems to be considered a legitimate one. Perhaps C&C should tell Wobbler to go and ask them. Without the expletives of course. Does one think that Wobbler put the full stop in le.gal action so that he could say that he never threatened anyone with legal action at a later date?

Not sure exactly what powers Eurojust would have, I”m sure one of our legal
eagles here can enlighten us.!!!!!!
Glad you liked the info, very interesting I thought.
By the way I have a new friend I met recently, she”s from Baltimore, who sends
me lots of jokes and some beautiful pictures. It”s a kind of Group list I”m on with
her and all the rest are from America.
I got an e-mail from her yesterday, which I tried to cut and paste onto here for
you but it doesn”t work. Apparently, she was outraged to find her Driver”s Licence details on the internet and was warning others.
http://www.license.shorturl.com/ is the website address she gave if you are
interested.

One knows that one has to ask m&a themselves to release that kind of info. One also knows that one isn’t going to ask for that to be done. Doesn’t one?

I agree with you. I made a very similar post on the forum yesterday about Mrs. Healy’s seeming cold and uncaring public statement that supposedly was issued out of ’sympathy.’
