Madeleine McCann In A Taxi ‘With Murat’, Denied And Shannon Matthews
MADDYWATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann.
THE SUN: “Maddie & Murat ‘in a cab’”
Portuguese taxi driver claims Madeleine McCann was in his cab the night she vanished — with Robert Murat. “Antonio Cardoso, 67, insisted he took the little girl and four adults on a short journey to a hotel where they all switched to a Jeep with foreign plates.”
Says he:
“I later recognised him on television. I am sure it was him…She was awake but silent. She was just staring ahead with big owlish eyes. I noticed her eye because my son was born with a defect much the same. I saw her kind of twist her chin a few times in my rear-view mirror. I remember she was in pink pyjamas and wondered why they hadn’t dressed her.”
Says McCann spokesman Clarence Mitchell: “We are dismissing this primarily because the timings are entirely wrong.”
IRISH EXAMINER: “Taxi driver claims he picked up Madeleine”
Antonio Castela, 67, said he dropped off the missing girl and her English-speaking mystery companions at an Algarve hotel and watched them drive off in a blue jeep. He insisted he was “100% sure” his passengers included Madeleine.
The McCanns and Robert Murat — the third official suspect in the Madeleine McCann case — all deny wrongdoing”
Kate Mccann is a “GP” Kate and husband Gerry a “heart specialist”
TIMES: “Forget Happy Meals, let’s focus on happy families”
Sandra Parsons looks at “The greatest gift of all”:
It’s Mother’s Day on Sunday, and those of us lucky enough to have children can expect to be given cards and flowers. But with Madeleine McCann and the schoolgirl Shannon Matthews still missing, Milly Dowler’s stricken parents making a heartrending appeal for information about their daughter’s murder, and the reminders again of the brutal killing of young women by Steve Wright and Levi Bellfield, I rather think it should be the other way round.
DAILY MIRROR: “Mother vows never to give up in the search for missing Shannon Matthews”
Shannon Matthews’s mum yesterday said she would never stop searching for her daughter. Karen, 32, fighting back tears, said: “We will never give up on her. It is more than a week and we are desperate to have Shannon back. Our message to people is never give up because we won’t”
Adding:
“We’ve shed a lot of tears. “It was really emotional seeing people walking through the streets with us to support our family. I was overwhelmed by the turnout. Now we just want Shannon found. We just pray she will be found safe.
YORKSHIRE POST: “Police quiz 1,500 drivers in hunt for missing Shannon”
A reward. Like Madeleine:
As the investigation enters its second week, Joseph Furniture, based in Bradley, Huddersfield, has put up a £5,000 reward for any information that leads to Shannon’s safe return.
In a statement the firm said: “As a company that was founded in Dewsbury and a former employer of Shannon’s uncle, Neil Hyett, we feel a social and moral responsibility to aid with reuniting Shannon Matthews with her beloved family.”
DAILY STAR: “SHANNON HUNT AT MUM’S ‘DIGS’ - HOME OF FAMILY FRIEND SCOURED”
The house where missing schoolgirl Shannon Matthews’ mum is staying was searched by police yesterday. Officers with sniffer dogs trained to find human remains were sent in to track down clues to the nine-year-old’s disappearance.
The house in Dewsbury, West Yorks, belongs to family friend Peter “Scouser” Brown, 34, who lives just a few doors from Shannon’s mum Karen and her boyfriend Craig Meehan, 22.
Shannons’ parents are not doctors. There is no media feeeding frenzy.

Why are you all surmising it was any of the tapas group, who if the story is credible, were in the taxi.
I would tip the woman if the driver is as certain as he claims, it was Robert Murat, to be Michaela Walczuch, the other two are I believe known to us, although not British.
Wonder since the taxi drivers son is a cop, you would not think he would put his son in an invidious position, just a thought.

Yes
You assume correctly:they are bloody involved in her disappearance because one way or the other they were NOT with her.
As simple as that and that others are involved I do not have the slightest doubt

The irony of this whole situation is, that all the people who gave this couple money to find Maddie, have in fact just paid for them to get the best of everything to save their own sorry arses.

Save their own sorry arses from what? And how did it work?
Urm….let me think…….urr dunno Garfy, sorry what forum are we on again, oh yeah, urr what is it the McCanns are being blamed for again???? you are an idiot sometimes and say some bloody stupid things

jo,
You’re assuming the parents are involved, I think [
], however there are more possibilities, like someone[s] of the Sangria 7, the third arguido, someone we don’t know… We all can’t be sure, because mr Rebelo keeps his mouth tight shut. I’ll wait till he speaks… impatiently though!
February 28th, 2008 at 8:40 pm
I would really like to have a six figure bank account, but my children mean far more to me. I will carry on living day to day, hand to mouth, as long as I don’t have to pay the price of losing one of my children to reach those six figures! IMO of course!

I”ll recommend you to Zeitgeistmovie.com, it is very interesting. I did give the
details to another Poster but I think he took it as Gospel and quoted it to anyone who would listen. Anyway, see what you think.

But I’m afraid it’s hardly likely that person[s] will come forward and confess, not unless the police catches him/her/them.

Hence the PJ going over to the uk because here is no other way is there?
I do hope the PJ is going to crush them to a pulp
This is the only thing they deserve

Bye RR … catch you sometime soon … I’ll be on the pillows before you get back

CM reckons it”s costing £50,000 a month in expenses so the Fund will soon run
dry. Apart from the likes of us, most people around the world are fed up with
the story and the McCanns would be hard pressed IMO to get much more in
donations. when you think of the money squandered it”s disgusting that they should look for public support. why didn”t they employ a reputable Agency in
May?

942 Val……….It certainly does val, a couple of years ago now I started reading conspiracy theories on the internet and then ended up on sites about 911, Now I know what I believe and wont push my thaughts onto other people, But I tell you what even if some things seem a little over the top I do believe that some people are onto something,it was mentioned on a couple of sites about all the world leaders being into sacrifices etc even some going as far as to say that homosexuality and peadophilia was the normal thing as to keep people quiet about top secrets etc…so yes it does make you wonder sometimes doesnt it?……….
