Madeleine McCann, Shannon Matthews, Sniffer Dogs And Leona Lewis
MADDYWATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann.
THE SUN: “McCann pals to face cop quiz”
Portuguese “cops are to jet to Britain to interview Kate and Gerry McCann and their pals in a last-ditch bid to solve Maddie’s disappearance. They want to quiz David Payne, Jane Tanner and partner Russell O’Brien, it was claimed.”
The Sun’s source is newspaper 24 horas. It reports: “We are finalising the last few details. Within ten days’ a team of investigators will travel to the UK.”
DAILY TELEGRAPH: “Last night on television: The Girls Who Were Found Alive (C4) - Empty (BBC2)”
It was impossible not to think of other “disappearance” cases while watching The Girls Who Were Found Alive (C4). This fine Cutting Edge documentary told the story of two youngsters whose abduction, a decade ago, by a predatory paedophile ended against the odds in rescue. It could serve as a beacon of hope for any parent facing their worst nightmare. But in the context of the search for nine-year-old Shannon Matthews, who went missing last week in Dewsbury, and the ongoing tragedy of Madeleine McCann, it had extra poignancy.
SHANNON MATTHEWS: “LEONA IN PLEA TO ‘NUMBER 1 FAN’ SHANNON”
Pop babe Leona Lewis made an emotional plea last night for help to find missing Shannon Matthews.
She begged nine-year-old Shannon – her No1 fan – to “come home’’.
And she appealed for anyone with information to tell police immediately.
Leona, 22, made the plea after Shannon’s family revealed her favourite song is the X Factor winner’s No 1 hit Bleeding Love.
Here come the celebs…
Leona says: “I urge anyone to come forward if they know anything about this. If Shannon is reading this then I urge her to get in touch with her parents and come home.’’
DONCASTER TODAY: “Locally trained dog leads search for Jersey bodies
Eddie came to national attention last year when he and former kennel-mate Keela were drafted to Portugal to help with the search for missing four-year-old Madeleine McCann.
Keela, a “blood dog” is believed to have detected tiny specks of blood found in the McCann’s Algarve apartment, while Eddie is said to have picked up traces of the missing girl in the back of Kate and Gerry McCann’s hire car.
GUERNSEY PRESS & STAR: “More bodies fear from secret room”
A SECOND bricked-up room has been found at former Jersey children’s home Haut de la Garenne. Forensic scientists are expected to enter it today.
Deputy police chief Lenny Harper estimated that it was about 12ft by 12ft – a similar size to another which was entered yesterday. Police fear that more human remains will be found in the secret below-ground rooms.
Mr Harper said that Eddie, the specialist sniffer dog also used in the case of Madeleine McCann, had shown an ‘extremely strong reaction’ when sent into a bricked-up room in the building’s cellar. His response was akin to that shown before a child’s skull was found on Saturday.
DOG MAGAZINE: “Find Dead People - A Day in the Life of a Human Remains (Cadaver) Detection Dog”
As many will have heard in the news recently, the police are deploying the skills of specially trained dogs in the hunt for human remains at a former children’s home on the island of Jersey. Dogs have also been used in the recent high profile searches for missing girl Madeleine McCann and West Yorkshire schoolgirl Shannon Matthews. If you’ve ever wondered how these specialist sniffer dogs are trained or how they go about their work, K9 Magazine spoke with PC David King about what goes into training and working a cadaver dog.

There is this old rooster on a farm. One day the farmer said that he needs a younger rooster. So he buys one. He brings it back to the farm. The old rooster says, “I bet I can race you around the barn 3 times and win”. Then the younger rooster says “your on”. Then when they start the race, the old rooster jumps ahead, the younger rooster is right behind him. One lap, two laps, 2 and a half laps then BANG the young rooster is blown to smithereenes!!! The farmer was on his porch with his shot gun. Then the farmer says, “THATS THE 2ND FUCKIN GAY ROOSTER I HAVE HAD THIS WEEK

There is a picture in the Dail Wail of Chelsey grinning upon hearing of Harry’s return.
Perhaps she leaked it.
Anyway the royals should be in Afghan, it is their crops that are being protected.
On that note I better run for the hills.
Nice to see you all. Stevo, your storybook cottage on 3 A’s was great.

“Poor little Shannon Matthews. Too poor for us to care that she is lost?”
WELL DONE ANDREW NORFOLK!!!!!

Like you I am tired and bid everyone Goodnight. One last thought, the report
that the PJ were coming to the U.K. to sit in on the interviews was reported by
24 Horas, who apparently are like our tabloids, and a freelance Reporter Duarte
Levy. If as Reporter is saying, this is untrue, wouldn”t the PJ insist on a
retraction by both Reporters, not to jeopardise their ongoing request for the
interviews?

The whole saga is distasteful and they made it that way!
The aim was to show how many parts of it have been brought up by their own mouths as excuses or explanations.

You do what you think is right
My view is that it is distasteful
You need not reply as to how the McCanns are reprehensible etc, ..this is fantasy, and in poor taste. And to what aim?

It’s not my theory, its just a bizzare co incidence.
Even more so after whats come to light this week.
I never said it was my theory!
I just remembered it, re read it and was noting the similarities, coincidences!

Let me recap, David Payne stayed in the apartment next to the McCanns, is that right? Oldfield offered to look in on the McCann children about ten minutes after Gerry got back to the Tapas Bar which would have been about 9.30pm
Where was the Oldfield apartment in relation to the McCanns and why didn”t
David Payne offer, since he was going to check on his child, the one who was sick?
It”s late and Iv”e probably got it all wrong.
