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.

Good evening all anorakians
now it was funny to start with but will you ever learn to scroll the troll???
February 26th, 2008 at 10:36 pm
When that sweet little angel is returned to her wonderful parents, Kate and Gerry, all you conspiracy theorists are going to be left with egg on your faces.
When Maddie is found alive, will you admit that you were wrong?

Well, okay. Some abuse earlier from that ‘Look’ she/he was telling me to leave using a phrase you had used earlier allegedly. Glad you are here now.

I suppose you’re right.
How dare anyone criticise their parenting skills!
That Rothley woman would have got exactly the same help and consideration if she left her kids on their own whilst she went out on the lash, wouldn’t she?
FFS it was only like being in their garden. What a lot of fuss about nothing!
February 26th, 2008 at 10:34 pm
Garth,
Have you ever seen me post anything to suggest that i think they murdered their daughter???
No. All i accuse them of is total neglect, and i watch this forum because frankly, i love to see them get a good verbal battering on a daily basis, and as i said in an earlier post, i hope they never get a minutes peace again….oops sorry was that a bit strong??!!
The truth will come out, it always does, but i don’t think we will see little M again, back home with her family, as some hair brained people still believe, and that would not be the case had they taken their resposibilities a bit more seriously, they left their kids in day care for 7 hours every day, did they need to leave them at night too? ffs
February 26th, 2008 at 10:34 pm
Dee, her comments are very unhelpful at this time. Surely you can see that?
February 26th, 2008 at 10:34 pm
WOULDNT help them either

Serious now, I think someone posted [long long ago] that Gerry was angry because the pj tapped their phones. Or was he surprised? I really can’t remember.
And was it just a rumour spread by a poster or was it printed also in the papers?
Has anybody got a link for me?? I want to check something that’s bothering me for a while.

The only thing the lady from Rothley talks about on YouTube is her distaste for the couple and the neglect they are getting away with, but to the pro Mc’s that is a terrible crime.
February 26th, 2008 at 10:28 pm
RR,
How are you?
February 26th, 2008 at 10:27 pm
Dee
Thanks for that link!
What does it prove? It proves that the person/s trying to get a message across to people regarding the distance are nothing more than jerks. I think Gerry might just be saying 50 metres as the crow flies ie not that far away. But then I guess if you’re hell bent on the McCanns guilt then I see the illogic in the post!
And re the interview. Yeap, trying to justify the close proximity of the apartment. I guess just like any person would do if they were guilty of murdering their own child! Get real ffs!
February 26th, 2008 at 10:27 pm
I hope that Clarence and his legal team can have those awful videos removed from YouTube ASAP. I’d hate for Gerry or Kate to see some of the bile that’s out there. That’s the last thing either of them needs to see. I don’t know how the ghouls who make those disgusting clips can sleep at night.

There’s a thread about it on 3A that was about 11 pages long when I last looked. I’m sure the relevant people have been informed more than once
I haven’t been on Youtube myself but someone posted a few examples of the pinkies’ comments on my home forum.
I’m sure there will be lots of defensive comments by now as well
I don’t know why but the words “cult” and “brainwashing” sprang to mind after reading the e-mail. Why would you complain and report something for being offensive when you haven’t even watched it yourself?
You’ll notice they put the most shocking video at the top of the list. I haven’t watched it myself because I took other people’s advice that it was very dark and chose not to. I therefore can’t comment and wouldn’t dream of reporting it.
The video of the woman from Rothley’s in there apparently. Why the hell would anyone be offended by that?

Skype is very good. I talk to my partner every night, he is in Afghanastan I’m in the UK. You need to put £10 credit on it to start but in my case that has lasted well as all computer to computer calls are free. If you use it to call a land line or mobile phone it is very cheap, about 0.012 a min for local landline calls. We also chat while playing backgammon on it.

The point is that the PJ can’t ask the questions can they?
The McCann’s are here in the UK rather than Portugal.
The Uk still haven’t authorised the letters…have they?

IF they went to Portugal then we could find out if the PJ have any proof…or not!!
————
To satisfy your curiousity maybe? As far as the PJ and their proof is concerned……..they call the shots! They’ve made the McCanns arguidos (hastily) so its up to the muppets to prove their theory is correct……….or not (likely).
The McCanns know they are innocent. The PJ dont. Let the PJ work it out. Jeez they’ve been unhelpful in trying to find the truth behind Madelienes disappearance thus far………..why would they change now? They wont!
