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.

Julie…………now come on…………I know you’re better than that!
Noones blowing the McCanns trumpet. Its just that……….well all things being equal, the liklihood of them concocting some bullshit story about abduction, and, thus far getting away with it |(not to mention the continued campaign for publicity as some would say) really doesnt add up. And we know they arent that clever because they wouldnt have left them on their own in the first place. Naivity and maybe a little selfishness granted. But hey……..
So the point is, if we are all quick to judge and denounce the abduction claimed then we are as ignorant or as bad as you believe the McCanns to be. And if you were in this country and called for jury service then you would potentially allow the said abductor get away with and possibly commit yet another crime. Would that make you feel good?
Mods and Admin
Shall we wait until there is a charge and arrest and a date set for a trial before you start calling people for jury service. Which abductor are you speaking about?

Good evening everyone,
Might i just say a word to Julie, just because there are many of us that have strong opinions about the McC’s, does not mean that we wish little Maddie harm, or that she was Murdered!

I’m sure that’s exactly what my post said Dee

Yeah Garth, I also want to get to the bottom of what happened, but I will certainly not come on here and blow the McCann’s trumpet! (and definitely not Gerry’s
). That’s why the truth in this case has just GOT to come out. If the Mc’s are ONLY guilty of leaving their children to the dangers that faced them, and Madeleine was “however unlikely” taken by someone else, then I still want the truth to come out. There aint no way I’ll ever be a McCann supporter, because I just am so totally against neglect of children, however if they are actually “innocent” (I put this in inverted commas, because I do believe if the kids were not left alone, then one of them would not have disappeared) of her disappearance, I will still not back them, but we will then finally understand that maybe they did not cause Madeleine’s demise, but were initially responsible for the action that led to it.

look, Look!
Gerry took a chance & maybe did not look. Maybe he treats kids like straw in a souq. Now he’s on the hook for back-fitting like a crook & possibly also cooking the book. Basically could be fook’d.
BTW, no one on here wishes for a child to be murdered by his/ her parents or anyone else.

RR,
It’s fine. I knew what you meant to say.
February 26th, 2008 at 6:33 pm
Just a thought…
If anything, this Jersey episode emphasizes the skills of the cadaver dog that found traces of Madeleine´s corpse in the mcCann´s hire car.

This board is becoming a total farce, there is one person here using 3 different names, one of our server guys says it is very obvious, I just think it wastes a good site.
Mods and Admin
How we agree after all it makes a total mockery of free speech doesn’t it.
Now if your servers can determine who , perhaps they might do something miraculous like get rid of them.
BUT they will all find themselves in our spammer, when we have finished entertaining ourselves with them…don’t you agree some mental health issues when people start agreeing and disagreeing with themselves? But should we be be unkind and mock? a bit cruel, yes?

Do you expect me to keep my mouth shut when people are saying such hurtful things about wonderful Kate and Gerry McCann? Those two deserve medals for being so strong during this difficult time. I can’t imagine the pain they are going through, not knowing where their beloved daughter is, what kind of sick monster might be keeping her captive. I’m a parent myself, and I don’t know how I’d cope.
I was stunned by those disgraceful coments by this Red Rooster character. So, yes, I responded in kind. I don’t regret it one bit. There’s more where that came from if this Rooster pillock wants some.

Dont bother yourself about it. You need a real man
