Shannon Matthews, Madeleine McCann And Haut De La Garenne
MADDYWATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann
EVENING STANDARD: “MAN HELPING IN SEARCH SHANNON MATTHEWS ‘CRUCIFIED’ JUST YARDS FROM MISSING GIRL’S HOME”
A man helping in the search for missing schoolgirl Shannon Matthews is believed to have been crucified outside his house just yards from the nine-year-old’s family home.
Police are investigating the alleged assault of a 43-year-old man who neighbours claim was nailed to a wooden cross through his hands on Sunday night, and some locals claim the attack is related to the hunt for the missing girl.
And the McCanns?
Meanwhile, the McCanns, whose daughter Madeleine disappeared from their holiday apartment in the Algarve last May, have pledged their support to Shannon’s parents.
Writing in his personal online blog, Gerry McCann, said he and his wife Kate were praying for her safe return.
“No matter what has happened to Shannon, there is no doubt she is extremely vulnerable,” he added. “We hope she is found safe and well soon and returned to her family.”
Will the McCanns be called upon to comment on every missing child?
YORKSHIRE POST: “Agencies face abuse inquiry in wake of body find”
Police are searching a former children’s home Haut de la Garenne where they discovered a child’s skull. Police are now searching six more sites at the building now used as a youth hostel.
Police are using Eddie, who works with South Yorkshire Police as an “enhanced victim recovery dog”.
Eddie is said to have picked up traces of missing Madeleine McCann in the back of a car which her parents hired five weeks after she disappeared.

There still must be inconsistencies or missing pieces in the PJ’s evidence, otherwise the case would progress faster, don’t you think?
The fact that the missing girl was seen at two different places at the same time gives us an idea of how unreliable some witnesses are, and how difficult the task is for the PJ.
It might linger still for some time, then one day, everything will go very fast, one way or the other. But maybe not so soon.

I’m confident they are. Wouldn’t you?? I would. Problem is it gives them a chance to come up with solutions/excuses to ‘our’ speculations.

I fear you are right.
It’s so hard to be objective about this case when these people are so objectionable.
Let’s hope that there are larger samples available for conventional analysis.

A good example of the lack of self direction by Trolls….The part where they
advise “you needn’t watch the vids if you don’t want too…just send in your
spammed letter of complaint”.

I hope their plan to manipulate YouTube fails.
But if they’re openly doing that - maybe they are on Anorak!

My sympathies.
Seems to be a pretty severe dose to have this year…..plenty of fluids…paracets
and plenty of rest seems helpful.

Yes thanks….much better now….4 day’s of Flu is quite enough. IMO

We are going to be accused to be one and the same person. Maybe trolls! OMG!

Deoxyribonucleic Acid testing has not confirmed any links to Madeleine, from samples supplied by the PJ. The equation is very simple and non ambiguous, either they match or they don’t, there are no grey area.

I’ve got flu. I’m off today - although I am trying to do stuff, but it’s not working out so far.

I think I need something to eat - my sentence construction has gone to Hell.

Cheers brandon.
Just the ticket for a recovering Flu victim.

New dogs being trained called Morse and Lewis….love that.

Logic
Meant to add - I don’t rate sociology at all - I think ideology has a stranglehold on the subject and new research is discouraged unless it backs up existing ideas.

LCN in this case is a red herring….LCN results are non-admissable in Portuguese Courts.
The PJ will not be relying on that.

“I have wrestled with Gerry’s blog entry for two days now, and still find it strange to the point of being bizarre.
“No matter what has happened to Shannon, there is no doubt she is extremely vulnerable,””
…in two days you should have noticed that the sentence in his blog continues with “…having spent three nights and four days away from home.”?? Makes more sense, doesn’t it?
I’ve been following the Anorak threads on this case for a long time now, and finally decided to say something myself - c’mon, by cutting (even in the middle of sentences…) & pasting and taking quotes out of context, most things can be made to seem bizarre. Even if sides have been chosen, some objectivity would be nice…
