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.

How are you ? getting warmer in France ? Had our last swim before October today. Saw you question last night re Aus. Yes we are going, but want the cheque in my hand and the legal matters settled first. Mrs B will go and see how things are getting on in July. We have quite a few members of our family there, all very happy and safe. our biggest problem now is that we have 2 young kittens to consider.

Remember, when the bailiffs come, you don’t have to open the door. Put the house in the wife’s name and go for bankruptcy. My professional services are available pro bono, but of course, you know that

Last I heard of M3 was that they were accused of meddling with the case. The authorities allow the PI to look for the child but not to speak with witnesses. At least one witness has changed her statement as a result of their interference, I guess its that dozey nanny who tried to implicate murat by saying he was messing with the shutters previously.
Then there was the case of the torched cars, and one of the partners was recently convicted for helping a bunch of drug smugglers too clear theirselves.
Then we have the bugs implanted in murats car, not done by the PJ.
My guess is that M3 have been caught out and are lying low.

Got a funny feeling there is going be at lot of touring going on soon unless their passports are confiscated. I cannot understand why anyone would want them either, im sure the UK doesnt, dont know about portugal though. Oh i forgot, their lawyers advised them against that. The only place they would be welcome is Praia Du Luz cop shop. IMO
********************
its funny they dont want to be in Portugal…do you remember Kate in an interview saying she felt “closer” to madeliene being in Portugal… how strange she doesnt want to be “close” to her lovely daughter

There are many children missing. Some have been found. And this is the ongoing thread about the most famous missing child. And if she wasn’t so, you wouldn’t be here.”
*****
True, I’m here because it’s an intriguing case.
Why?
Because there’s so much publicity incited by the parents, obvious lying, spinning and [learned the expression recently] “knee-jerk” response to inconsistencies in the story. Reads better than a book…

Yer arse. You didn’t like the leaving of the children and then got on the bandwagon
Still awaiting your visit by the way. Have the arnica ready

Now that the investigation is progressing, all of a sudden, I find it difficult to speak of the case.
All i can say now is I don’t want my comments to be hurtful, but I also want that whoever hurt the child answers for it, and I hope she didn’t suffer too much.

What cofuses me is why charities welcome them when the are suspects in the dissapearance of their daughter. They have also admitted to leaving those toddlers in an unlocked room which was out of sight of where they were eating/drinking.

I have been discussing remortgage, I’m losing sleep. I just hope he relents and forgives me and just accepts me as being the child neglect apologist that he accuses me of

No, the reason I am here talking about this case is NOT due to the McCs’ publicity for their ‘missing’ child. It is because it is such a witches’ cauldron of lies and deceit that it is intriguing to try to get to the bottom of it.

The sooner they do NOT have two other children to raise, the better. The siblings should have been taken from their neglectful parents immediately.

Think the 3 or 4 pros are on tranquilisers and immodiom in anticipation of the quiz.
