Shannon Matthews: Ripper Yarn And Not In McCanns’ Class
SHANNON Watch: Anorak’s look at Shannon Matthews in the media
DAILY MIRROR: “Hunt for Shannon Matthews is the biggest since the Yorkshire Ripper”
Is it?
The search is the biggest since the one for Yorkshire Ripper Peter Sutcliffe who murdered 13 women in the 70s and 80s.
DAILY STAR (front page): “SHANNON: BIGGEST MANHUNT SINCE RIPPER”
DAILY EXPRESS: “SHANNON: HUNT IS ON SCALE OF RIPPER”
Chief Inspector Graham Armitage said: “It’s certainly the biggest missing persons inquiry since the Yorkshire Ripper, which I also worked on.”
Ripper. Ripper. Ripper. Is this a new context to place the disappearance of a child in? Is comparison with Madeleine McCann no longer apt?
DAILY MAIL: “Someone I know abducted missing Shannon just to hurt me, says mother”
Her comments came as her partner drew a sharp line between Shannon’s family and the parents of missing Madeleine McCann.
Craig Meehan, said: “It’s two families from two different backgrounds which shouldn’t really get compared - basically, a poor family and a rich family.”
Mr Meehan, 22, went on: “To me, they [the McCanns] are like celebrities in other people’s eyes. They’ve got money, they know celebrities and all that, so they can afford to do everything they do, everything they can.
“We’re trying to do what we can with the money we’ve got, with the resources we’ve got.”
It’s the biggest manhunt since The Yorkshire Ripper. Or is a private detective firm now also required?
DAILY TELEGRAPH: “Shannon Matthews ‘abducted to hurt mother’”
Asked if she thought the abductor was someone she knew, Mrs Matthews, a mother of seven, said: “It seems that way because there’s no trace of her at all. There’s no trace of her swimming costume, her towel or anything like that that she’s taken with her.”
Mrs Matthews told the BBC Radio 4 Today programme she believed the reason someone had taken her daughter was to get at her.
Asked why someone would do it, Mrs Matthews replied: “Just to hurt me, really.”
When pressed on who might be behind the abduction, she said: “No idea at all. All my friends and family have all been checked and there are no sightings of her things there at all.”

Salomon ES Says:
Gonçalo Amaral was able to illustrate this very well with his statement that british authorities only investigate what the McCanns want them to investigate…
__________
Yep ,and he paid the price ,for having the guts to challenge Sócrates and his friends
Now the Heads of the P.J. ,only work as Socrates wants
But the problem is the men that worked on the case are with Amaral

everyone gone?
March 13th, 2008 at 11:33 am
173 can”t say no
there is no way the British Police would have gone to Portugal and offered assistance
without the express wish of the PJ, similarly the FSS are world renowned experts
so it is obvious the PJ would turn to them .

solomon e s ;no after watching mcs for this lenght.silence is not their stong suite,especially if it was inconclusive,i imagine they would be screaming that on every front page,personally believe their silence is from fear

134 can”t say no
The U.K. police have also spent a lot of time, as have the FSS, but they only act in an advisory capacity.
March 13th, 2008 at 11:22 am
Good

Would you trust M3 ?
And now that 1 of them is in jail?

Am I right in assuming you are from Portugal? If so, do you know if it is true that
since Kate McCann was made an arguido because the PJ suspected her of accidentally
killing Madeleine, and if this cannot be proved the PJ cannot then charge the Parents
with negligence?
I would have thought that the BBC would have been ultra cautious about reporting
news after the Dr. Kelly tragedy, but what do any of us know.
