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.

What attack?

Not to worry–nothing will happen until “Team McCann” calls the Tapas 9 altogether in some musty hotel room to go over and over and over and over and over all the testimonies, and make sure they are “accurate.” Haw haw!

I think they probably do read it. There was a time when Clarrie was making statements to clarify things that we’d been talking about.
It’s probably our fault that they made that daft rotting meat/dirty nappies comment.

I’m just interested in the line between fact and fiction and the value systems that underpin social interactions (which means I end up researching hundreds of different topics in order to study those 2).

I wasn’t necessarily refering to the so called trolls that post here but to the actual family & advisors that maybe read but don’t actually post.

Surely, quizs and news (likely charges or so) will jump of a sudden one of these days… First forthnight of March, the latest. Meanwhile, they have to decide what to do with the contract with M3, and whether it’s convenient or not to keep on making up more sighitings… No danger of getting bored

Is there a fund so that I can send money for the posters?
I’ll manage some time to pray for the cat’s safe return.
February 26th, 2008 at 2:48 pm

Hi Pilimary. No news about the quiz.
February 26th, 2008 at 2:43 pm
Yesterday a three-year old cat disappeared in Northampton. Eyewittnesses believe to have seen a creepy old man at the same time. Sources close to the private investigators hired by the family who lost the cat believe that the man looked like a Portugese or North-African man. A spokesperson for the McSpins told media that the McSpins pray for the little cat and her save return. Reports that a dog chased the cat were dismissed by Claire M as ‘unhelpful’ and ‘ludicrous’. He demanded to see CCTV footage of the dog and told the media that 25 billiontrillionzillion posters of the dog will be disseminated in the next 187 years.

If it was UK stalling the case, wouldn’t the PJ complain about it? Unless they know the reason why, and gave an agreement…
At a time, it had been said the authorities wanted to prepare the public opinion to the outcome. I didn’t believe it, thinking public opinion wouldn’t particularly appreciate being “prepared” …

Hi all
Any news about the quizs? Is the whole thing vanishing as tears in the rain?
Thanks for updating me

It has to do with your representation of me ? Or maybe you are talking to yourself?
Never mind, it is fun, and I take it as a compliment. Your posts make me react, because they usually are about very interesting topics, and, as Logic said, you seem to know a lot.

They’re not very good though - there are no really great pro-McCann arguments. They have to fall back on :
1. Sentiment - ‘poor parents, unimaginable torment etc’,
2. Abuse - ‘you’re all sick, I can’t believe what I’m reading’,
3. Incredulity - ‘how could they get rid of the body with all the press watching them???’
4. PJ abuse - ‘they’re bungling idiots, I’ll never visit Portugal again’.

Perhaps if the UK allowed things to proceed then things may proceed??

Am sure there is sufficient.
