Madeleine McCann: McCanns’ Police Files, Evidence And Organised Crime
MADDYWATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann
THE SCOTSMAN: “McCanns set to see police ‘evidence’ against them”
Says the paper: “Madeleine McCann’s parents could see the Portuguese authorities’ case against them within a fortnight.”
Could…
Rogerio Alves said police files may be made public on 14 April, when the official secrecy period covering the investigation into the young girl’s disappearance is due to end. The Portuguese lawyer said this period could only be extended in major inquiries, such as those involving terrorism and organised crime.
But if Madeleine was taken by an organised group of human traffickers, as has been suggested many times, what is that if not organised crime? The “could” would becomes a “could not”.
THE TIMES: “McCanns may see file”
“The parents of Madeleine McCann may soon be allowed to see the Portuguese authorities’ case against them.”
May. Is that better or worse than could?
The official period of secrecy covering the inquiry is due to end on April 14. The couple were questioned by police after she vanished in May. They were not charged and deny all wrongdoing.
DAILY TELEGRAPH: “Madeleine McCann’s parents to learn of case against them”
The paper is certain. Unless:
The parents of Madeleine McCann could be given access to the Portuguese police’s files on them within a fortnight, one of their lawyers has said.
Could.
Says Clarence Mitchell, the couple’s spokesman: “We would hope that the police will do the decent and proper thing and open up the files. I would go further than that, and say once they have completed the interviews with the friends, they should go back to Portugal and assess the evidence and eliminate Kate and Gerry and allow everyone once again to concentrate on the search for Madeleine.”

Lurker and Gandolph would be worth a screen-test!
Not going to use a dog-toy after all. Going to use my miniature crash-test dummy!
But please remember I’m not even suspected yet! I’ve got to leave it a while before I ring the police to say the kids have been abducted because I’m off work this week and I don’t want to ruin my holiday. I am having all kinds of meetings with people this week. People I haven’t seen for some time who are connected to world-wide organisations have been descending on me for weeks.
I have to talk about nuclear reactors, medical matters and advertising every bloody day this week. I’ve even got to miss a tennis lesson today because of a set of consultants who were too pissed to consolidate last night!

This is Coco the pro-Clanner signing off and wishing the Clan every success with their best barristers and their best crisis-management officers that money can buy.

not garfy we need someone, who always sounds politically correct.

coco; make sure you wash that filthy thing
April 3rd, 2008 at 8:54 am
I think Garth should be CM because he already knows the script!
April 3rd, 2008 at 8:52 am
Babyjane; we can refuse to answer some questions cant we,just incase we incriminate ourselfs.
April 3rd, 2008 at 8:45 am
BabyJane! Well-spotted! Will have a rummage for something that won’t wreck the name of a company that I am attached to!
I will use one of the dog’s toys that I made out of old rags. Just in case I have a photo-opportunity to sniff it.
April 3rd, 2008 at 8:41 am
BabyJane; i will plead the 5th on that one;-)
April 3rd, 2008 at 8:41 am
Please don’t report me for the abandonment! I can see the top of my oak trees from the bistro window.
Not a good idea to meet at a hotel. Best that absolutely any communication is dealt with from barrister to barrister!
And any emails and phone calls we must read straight from the script -and keep saying how desperate we are to find the kids - as written in the scripts that we are provided with - eventually!
After my sister has shot her mouth off about how hyper the kids were and how I could hardly cope with them etc. And my brother has mouthed off about their favourite toys.
I desperately need to get my Mum on side. It would make good telly watching my Mum with her schizo eye-brows telling everybody how religious I am. And how I rang her absolutely hysterical because the alien asked me to get a priest.

April 3rd, 2008 at 8:33 am
First we’d have to elect our own Clarrie.:)
April 3rd, 2008 at 8:33 am
“and still sound credible”
April 3rd, 2008 at 8:28 am
BabyJane;is clarrie picking up the bill.i can knock back 14 bottles of wine easy.
April 3rd, 2008 at 8:28 am
I feel so ridiculous! How can I possibly admit this is what truly happened? If it wasn’t for my friends backing me up I don’t know what I’d do.
We have that many tots between us, nobody noticed when we playing in the park - that mine weren’t there! So nobody who lives nearby has cottoned on yet.
April 3rd, 2008 at 8:26 am
coco; you should have used DOMESTOUS.kills all known things,including DNA
April 3rd, 2008 at 8:26 am
catkidd, exactly!
Let’s all meet in a nice hotel and talk abou it.
Stevo could be our film producer, as he has a shaven head.
April 3rd, 2008 at 8:24 am
BabyJane; i saw them too,they looked just like the two in the simpsons,didnt they
April 3rd, 2008 at 8:22 am
Mainly used surgical spirits and alcohol to get the little dots and sprays off the wall and ceiling. There was a bugger of a stain in the floor-tile but my friend scratched the top layer of grout out. So - fingers crossed!
Just relying on my friends now. Especially the ones who can get confidential leaks from the authorities. I don’t want to be answering questions that I’ve not been prepared for!!!

I could flatten my hair, look pale, put on a red sweater and give - with a soft voice - an exclusive interview to the BBC: “I saw the alien who ‘has taken’ coco’s lovely kids”
And just-me, our FBI trained artist, could certainly provide the alien abductor drawing.
April 3rd, 2008 at 8:16 am
coco; if snack actually included food, its forgivable.god did you manage to get rid of the oudor of the bleech.
April 3rd, 2008 at 8:04 am
catkidd:
So did I when I looked back at it! But please believe me - this is truly what happened when I nipped out for some lunch on Monday.
How could I have known that whilst I was out snacking, a hungry alien was snacking on the kids?
It’s made my heart go out to the Clan. I suppose it’s how far they are all prepared to go for each other! Nobody on Anorak has sent the police round for me yet - so I think we must all have a pact on here.
April 3rd, 2008 at 7:54 am
coco;pmsl. i must learn to stop reading the posts in reverse order.
April 3rd, 2008 at 6:59 am
The games they play and the senarios they offer remind me of being a pre teenager getting busted and trying to protest my innocence by lying and scheming and squirming my way out of a hiding.
Thing was, I always got the hiding.
April 3rd, 2008 at 5:35 am
Someone,
tell me i’m not dreaming, but i think we’re experiencing a news blackout. tonight, the papers have gone silent on Madeleine: nothing from the UK, nothing from Portugal as far as i’ve seen. i did suspect that the press had briefed and given strict guidelines earlier this week, which would explain the stark similarity between news articles coming from various media houses. stone cold. and to have been that effectively adhered to, those guidelines must have been issued by a government office and not the Clarrie Spin Dryer as some speculated. and i therefore don’t expect there to be any news till after the 11th - unless something earth shattering occurs!
and so off on sabbatical i shall go. Mods and Admin will keep me sane with another sprinkling of loony photos in their desperate search for, er, captions…?
stay well.

I think that we should give the Clan the benefit of the doubt from now on after what happened to me.
There could well be an explanation just like mine!
As we all know, the Clan are extremely inarticulate human beings with no sense of time and timing. They cannot speak or write properly like us.
Therefore it may not be the case that they are deliberately withholding information. It may simply be that they are too embarrassed to admit what they knew went on.
Hopefully when CM sees what happened to me by reading this he will be able to cajole the Clan into being more expressive.
Only people like Garth will make immediate sense of this - but gradually I think we will all be right behind the Clan.
They need public support right now. Before the re-interviews take place. Before the PJ drag out all the original videos of the interviews.
I am now a very much a pro-Clan poster!

Originally posted on April 2nd, 2008 at 7:03 am but a new thread started and I need to get this out in the open.
Only Garth will understand what happened to me yesterday.
I came back from the little bistro just round the corner from my house at approximately 3 30pm and I could not believe what had happened.
My 3 yr old daughter was missing. I had tied her to the radiator with duct tape. I looked across the room to the cot and there was a big alien with a half-eaten twin hanging out of the side of its mouth. Gross!
Then I noticed that the other twin was not in the cot!
My children have been eaten by aliens.
This is not going to look good at work! My mortgage is huge! I am of high standing in the community! I never believed in aliens before.
F*ck! I have been up all night cleaning up the mess with my friends and pondering what to do. I have noticed people walking about on my street looking in the windows sometimes. Watching.
Have they seen a window of opportunity? And my friend said that there was man who looked like a big egg on legs wearing a jacket and my friend thought she had seen him at 2pm but then later thought it must have been nearer to 3pm.
Surely, I am better off saying that I think the children have been abducted than admit that I know aliens have eaten them!?
I have sworn my girlfriends to serecy about this matter because it could have happened to any single one of us. We are in this for the long haul.
I have only just realised that one of my mate’s partners looks a bit like the guy who runs the local estate agent whom she has already described to the police.
It’s never ending …… If only I had admitted that the aliens had been snacking on my kids and that’s why there’s a bit of DNA here and there.
Anyhow, if you don’t see me on here for a while - it’s because somebody on Anorak has shared this secret with the powers that be.

Hi Guys!
Please could somebody tell me how to cut and paste a comment that is already on Anorak. I would be really grateful as I am not good at computers.
Thanks in advance!
