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.

Talking of the Shannon case, I read and I quote
“A team of 50 specialist police spent yesterday scouring through hundreds of wheelie bins which had been left uncollected across town on police orders”.
Good for them.
PJ take note! …………and not on the back of a fag packet!

Madeleine: McCanns’ private investigator arrested for cocaine smuggling
Retired police officer Antonio Jimenez, 53, was remanded in custody on Thursday by a judge investigating the loss of half a ton of cocaine from a container docked in Barcelona in 2005.
Jimenez was a business partner of Maria Fernandez Lado, 57, founder of Metodo 3, the agency charging £50,000 a month to search for Madeleine.
This is the same man who travelled to Morroco in November 2007 to meet Naoual Malhi a 24-year-old Moroccan woman named , who said that she saw Maddie, later to be proven a fruitless sighting.
Daily Mail
3rd November 2007
“Antonio Jimenez, the former head of Spain’s national organised crime squad. They spent a week trying to track down Madeleine.” and “Naoual and Antonio Jimenez drove to Fez, 300 miles south-west of Al Hoceima, to request assistance from a local police chief, a family friend.”
Meanwhile, Clarence Mitchell and Francisco Marco from the so-called detective agency Metodo 3, try to do some damage control denying Mr. Jimenez connection to the Agency hired by the McCanns.
Telegraph
Clarence Mitchell, the spokesman for the McCanns, sought to distance Jimenez from Metodo 3.
He said: “He is nothing to do with us. He collaborated with Metodo 3 on a project, but that was two years before the company was hired to find Madeleine.
“We still have faith in the work of Metodo 3.”
Mr Marco denied Spanish television reports that Jiminez, 53, has worked for Metodo 3 for three years.
Duarte Levy
A private detective from Metodo 3 working on behalf of the McCanns has been arrested for involvement in stealing 400 kg of cocaine from the port of Barcelona.
One of the private detectives working for Metodo 3 on behalf of the McCanns has been arrested in connection with stealing 400 kg of cocaine from the port of Barcelona.
Detective Antonio J.R. (53), working for Metodo 3 on the investigation into Madeleine McCann’s disappearance, was Chief Inspector of the Drugs and Organised Crime Unit for the Barcelona police at the time.
He left the police to work for Metodo 3 just when internal services were investigating the disappearance 400 kg of cocaine out of a total of a tonne and a half seized from a ship coming from Venezuela.
Today, the court in Martorell (Barcelona) remanded him in custody without bail on charges of breach of trust, corruption, corruption of public officials and illicit criminal association.
Antonio J.R. had been working for Metodo 3 since 2005 and was the detective in charge of special operations in the investigation of Madeleine McCann’s disappearance. It was he who recently travelled to Morocco ……..

Personally I find our civic leaders being involved with dubious charities is much worse than a few funny posts on here. When their kids come on here preaching crap about mysterious unseen abductors and supporting documented lies by media spokesmen I get even crosser.

You get even crosser do you? Ooh hell…………look out! If, for a minute, you could retrieved your head from your arsehole you’d see things in a whole new light! And your concepts on many things would’nt be so scewered!

I think we all know LOOK is just a wind-up, not a genuine poster. He, she or it, is either a troll or an existing poster (or poster’s friend) under a different name.
Quite amusing but, at this late stage, a complete waste of everyone’s time.
