Madeleine McCann: A Tapas Quiz, Doctors And McCanns
MADDYWATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann
SUNDAY PEOPLE: “COPS’ 3-DAY TAPAS QUIZ”
Big news for those who thought the cops’ specialist food knowledge was donuts and kebabs. Cops making a last-ditch bid to solve the Maddie McCann mystery will spend only THREE DAYS quizzing the Tapas Seven.
Not the Tapas Nine. Not the Sangria Seven.
The detectives are particularly keen to see Dr David Payne, Jane Tanner and her partner Dr Russell O’Brien. Doctors Gerry and Kate, both 39, are not expected to face more questioning.
Doctors. Such are the facts.
The friends deny that their initial statements contain contradictions. But Portuguese police hope that ironing out apparent inconsistencies will help solve the riddle.
THIS IS LONDON: “‘Tapas Nine’ to face three days of police interviews”
Portuguese police are planning to question the so-called Tapas Nine during three days of interviews in a final attempt to solve the mystery of Madeleine McCann’s disappearance.
The so-called Tapas Seven.
Mr and Mrs McCann, who are both still official suspects, are not expected to be questioned.”
DAILY MIRROR: “Tapas Seven to be questioned again in Madeleine case”
The Tapas Seven, who had dinner with the McCanns on the night their daughter Madeleine, four, vanished, will have more than 100 questions put to them by Portuguese police.
Any other facts?
A source told Portuguese paper 24 Horas, said: “We are at a crucial phase. There are clear contradictions in the statements that the McCanns and their friends gave. Many things have to be clarified.
“The need to question Madeleine’s parents again will be determined by the results of the interrogations of their holiday friends.”
Or not. Such are the facts.

Matt,
Me thinks its the same person IMO.

Off topic?
Juan Cortes just said on the news
“Even to my daughters killer I do not wish one single day out of the 59 I have spend in utter pain looking for her”
They didnt go to visit the pope
They didnt spin like sickos
They didnt employ extradiction lawyers
They havent hassle the police
They dont sell their daughter”s
They dont pretend to “preach” children”s safety and join international orgs.
They didnt have a richard branson nor a gordon brown nor so many “useful” VIPs contact but ….they do have a lot of dignity and heart
Mari Luz death as tragic as it is is going to bring a much needed change in the spanish constitution in regards of children”s safety issues
Thank you Little Mari Luz

What problem are you having re 130, Chatelaine ?
Is just an informative post re Cold cases so can’t be libellous.

The PJ have alledgedly approached the Clash to release one of their songs:-
They fought the law and the law won.
March 30th, 2008 at 12:34 pm
I don’t think the cuddle cat is back to the McCanns.
The police have to show it during the trial.

New analysis of the evidence has only confirmed suspicions that exist but nothing more,” the police source told Portuguese daily newspaper 24 Horas. “There is no new data despite new operations being carried out in field,” he said. “There is no new data despite new operations being carried out in field,” he said. Portuguese police are said to frustrated at the delay in receiving the results of forensic tests being carried out in a laboratory in Birmingham,
“The tests were requested over three months ago but the results have not yet arrived. These tests are fundamental to direct or even give a new direction to the investigation,” said the same source. “The tests were requested over three months ago but the results have not yet arrived. These tests are essential to direct or even give a new direction to the investigation,” said the same source”
September 2007 Match 2008
Any news since then?
Has the PJ received the results?

transcript from the Panorama programme
CORNER: They took most of their clothing, they were taking even the wet clothes out of the washing machine. I was aware that the cuddlecat was boxed up and we were asked to leave the villa.
any cuddlecat Kate seen with was an imposter

I wish reporter’s mum would give him a clip around the ear and tell him
not to use the computer to post rubbish on Adult Sites.

Cuddlecat
“The paper quotes a police source as saying: “When Kate tucked Madeleine up in bed earlier in the evening she had the toy tightly in her arms as she did every night.
“So Kate was terrified when she spotted it had been left in a place too high for her to reach.”
“Kate also noticed the window was wide open and the shutters jammed up.
…etc…etc….

And also are prepared to wait.

Matt,
I noticed REPORTER keeps claiming that his sources have said they are not comimg, as well as latching onto the taxi story. It makes me laugh!
March 30th, 2008 at 12:13 pm
Dont forget, M3 have about 30 Cuddlecats! Has a swap been done?

Yes….the usual suspects.

Yes - it goes along with such old adages as “mind who you step on, on the way up, because you might have to meet them on the way down” and “what goes around, comes around” and any number of old fashioned sayings of that ilk !!

Justice has a way of popping up and biting miscreants on the butt, especially
when they least expect it.

From The Sunday Mirror 13/09/07
“Kate washed the Cuddle Cat five days after Madeleine went missing saying it was smeared with sand and sun cream.
Gerry’s sister Philomena said it was cleaned again two months ago because it was filthy after being carried around.”
Doesnt say anything about washing after tests to clean off residue???
March 30th, 2008 at 11:55 am
Matt 124…. but if the PJ took it at the time then it was the original that was tested by them?
wouldn’t matter if they were 10 subsequent cats.
And if they didn’t test it thoroughly and then handed it back then that would just be plain daft wouldn’t it? Especially as rumour has it that the PJ suspected Kate from the off?

There may well be cuddlecat Mark 1, cuddlecat Mark 2, cuddlecat Mark 3, etc.
Isn’t a unique toy am sure.

Ann….. I agree absolutely. Without hard facts its impossible to know what is true and what isn’t.
I was an optimist and was sure Madeleine would be found but now, so many months down the line, I wonder if we will ever know what really happened to her. So sad.
