Madeleine MCann: Spotted In Sydney, Following Robert Murat And Arab Slavery
MADDYWATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann
NEWS.COM.AU (News Corp.): “Maddie Sydney alert after ’sighting’”
SYDNEY police were sent into a flutter today when a member of the public called in thinking they’d spotted missing British girl Madeleine McCann in the CBD. Rail staff appeared to shadow a middle-aged man wearing a black beret and a little, blonde girl until police arrived at Town Hall train station to question the pair.
How did she get there from Malta?
The Daily Telegraph spotted three police officers talking to the man and the girl at the Luneburger German Bakery underneath the Queen Victoria Building in the heart of the city. But police say the report turned out to be a false alarm.
DAILY MIRROR: “Madeleine McCann suspect’s fury at finding GPS tracker”
Madeleine McCann suspect Robert Murat has discovered tracking devices fitted to his cars. British expat Murat, 33, found the GPS bug when he was fixing a fault on his VW Transporter.
He checked girlfriend Michaela Walczuch’s motor and found - another stuck to that. Furious Murat believes Portuguese police bugged his cars in a desperate bid to nail him for the abduction of Madeleine, four, from Praia da Luz in May.He is also probing whether Kate and Gerry McCann’s private detective agency Metodo 3 could have done it on its own initiative.
Such is the speculation.
His lawyer Francisco Pagarete said last night: “I’m not yet sure what kind of crime we’re dealing with here.”
Which for a lawyer may be less than ideal.
What news of the search in the lake?
It also emerged yesterday that lawyer Marcos Correia only dragged a reservoir looking for Madeleine because he had dreamed she was dumped there.
THE SUN: “Maddie suspect car was bugged”
The property developer discovered his company Romigen’s website had been hacked into. Emails were diverted and messages sent in his name.
One email sent from his account asked Sergey Malinka, a Russian ex-pat pal, for a secret meeting.
A source close to the case said: “It looks like attempts have been made to entrap him.”
THE EDINBURGH JOURNAL: “Moroccan Nights
Edmund Stuart intertwines the past and the present of the Mahgreb Moroccan Arabic, known as Darija, is the first language of most Moroccans, the main exception being the Berbers—historically the indigenous inhabitants of North Africa, predating the Arab conquest—who speak a separate language. Today they are centred largely in the Atlas and Rif Mountains. Their tall stature and blonde hair once made them the prized slaves of the Arab Sultans and it is a stature still noticeable today – one blonde Berber girl was recently mistaken for Madeleine McCann.

The old days!!!! I talked complete rubbish… so at least I haven’t changed!!!

Madeleine would have been home for her 4th birthday and a party had been arranged for her and her friends at home. Im not surprised there was no mention of it the night before she we missing or that there were no presents waiting for her at the apartment. Why would there be, she should have been home by the time her birthday arrived.

they say the money crisis is post ww11 - who do they think they are kidding- it’s more like present ww111 we’re paying for and it is not likely to get any better
March 18th, 2008 at 7:52 am
What a thought!!! No mention of a special birthday not too far away from the day she disappeared. Good thinking. 4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11 birthday - a week later. Very interesting.

Not a lot though. The McCanns remain free and their supporters continue to seep their evil doctrine.

Breathe deeply - best place for your head is up your arsehole - long may it say there. I just hope you apply the same child care as you consider acceptable from the McCanns - lets hope it stops procreation from your irrelevant part of the human gene pool.
March 17th, 2008 at 10:50 pm
hi craig

I quite agree with you. Years later, I remember giggling endelssly with my cousins after a family funeral, and it did us a lot of good.
What I am talking about now is different. It is a dry, short, recurrent, maybe compulsive laugh that nobody shares. More like a cough. It isn’t an expression of humour. Anyone who has been in contact with unsettled people will know what I am talking about.
It can be a sign that the person can’t grieve, temporarily or not. But it can’t be interpreted by itself. It is just an indication among others.
March 17th, 2008 at 10:14 pm
……0r maybe its vice versa if the shares go, the banks crash

Hi Val
Are they going to re-interview the Tapas 9- its all so under the carpet. I am beginning to think they hope all interest in them will fizzle out and they can just carry on as normal mentioning Madeleine only on Anniversaries.
I have to seriously consider what to do with my savings as I hate to admit it but I have all my eggs in one basket- Barclays bank. I said to them a few months ago I want to move money from Isa just in case there is a crash- I was told it will make no odds they are still part of this bank.
So it’s a matter of maybe moving out of the Bank but will that make any difference if they go down…
I know the possibility is iffy but nothing is sure in our days.
Btw I have not looked into shares if the banks go- don’t they too…help

Thanks for the reply. Hope you will soon be up and about again. You are right about our impending implosion. Went up to Zimbabwe for a few weeks and what I saw there made me realize, that this will not work out at all. Fortunatly we heard today that we have been accepted in OZ, my brother is there now bought a farm about 400 miles from Sydney. We have had our offer on a house accepted. Still have to sell my spread. I cannot let my family go through the Zim thing, my so is only seven, have to think about his future. Be sad to leave my Country, family been here since 1820.

Ugh….was it painful? Dont bother about my question, not important. I did wonder though about something else, the age of St Patrick. Tell me tomorrow, I”m just going to
browse McCann Files then watch a Film,
Goodnight all.

totally unfair isnt it, are you going over to the new thread?

If the Tapas 9 original statements prove to be wrong, at least we will have a better
idea of what happened that night.
By the way, the U.S. stock market recovered slightly tonight, but there is a rumour
yet another Investment bank is in trouble, I think it”s going to get worse before it
gets better, instead of cash in the bank, you might try Government Stock or Oil
shares, b…dy banks, they started all this with OUR money too!!!!!
