Madeleine McCann: The McCanns’ Return To Portugal, A Year Of Looking And Ben Affleck
MADDYWATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann
THE SUN: “McCanns risk arrest over visit”
KATE and Gerry McCann may risk arrest by returning to Portugal for the one-year anniversary of their daughter’s disappearance.
The couple are prepared to take the chance in a last ditch attempt to revive interest in four-year-old Maddie, missing since May 3.
Any facts?
The doctors, both 39, left the Praia da Luz resort last September – 48 hours after being made official suspects over the mystery.
Gerry and Kate McCann are Doctors. Such are the facts.
Says the McCanns’ spokesman Clarence Mitchell said: “They want to be there for the first anniversary. Going out there would send the strongest possible message that Madeleine could still be alive and the search for her should continue.”
SYDNEY MORNING HERALD: “Turning the tabloids”
Ben Affleck is Gone Baby Gone:
Almost as troublesome was the story’s unforeseen and unintended resemblance to a real-life case of child kidnapping that hit the headlines in the months it was being filmed. That was the disappearance in Portugal last year of British girl Madeleine McCann, who was of a similar age and appearance to the film’s kidnapping victim and had a name eerily similar to the character in the Lehane novel, Amanda McCready.
McCready has disappeared amid the squalor of her south Boston neighbourhood. The police are out in formation, as are the television news vans, antennas raised high, all but trembling for blood.

Lucky 1000 post!
Jo,
it is clear to me that someone (if not more than one) is lying and that something is being covered up for some reason. I personally don’t believe that JT saw a stranger; if she saw someone, it was someone she knew, who could have been carrying the child and her reported sighting is to protect that someone, in case Wilkins had seen it. Why? I don’t know yet.

Even if I had had a lot to drink, I’m positive I would not cover up a crime for anyone else, not even a family member.

About JT”s “sighting”
I let you have a look at it and draw your own conclusions
“And could you tell if it was a boy or a girl?”
To which she replied: “Only because the pyjamas had a pinky aspect to them so you’d presume a girl…”
That is the clue to why she is lying…she states she could tell the colour of the pyjamas:….”

Coldwater has also posted a new thread about pigs and how quickly they would make a body disappear leaving no trace.

Did you check out the joke……I thought it was good.
If duncan has just won the Euro Lottery, he doesn”t need to have a bet on a Horse, he could be a Bookie and make even more money!!!!!!! Then of course be altruistic
and remember his friends on Anorak.

Jo,
I re-read all your posts. Don’t think I criticise you for having strong feelings. It is what makes you endearing. But I think it will serve your purposes better if you make it clear that you aren’t after the MCs out of hatred for them and for what they represent, capitalism included!
************

Marie,I never felt you criticised me at all.
I wish I didnt have those feelings towards them because hate is as much as a bond as love.
I detest them because they play victims when the only one victim here is Madeleine.
It just happens,their social class IS an aggravating factor,yes,but this is not the main cause of my reject
(They are all what I detest and have been fighting against all my life:the bourgeoisie,the capitalism,the content “we” know better

Yes, I do like Woody Allen, Sleepers and Annie Hall two of my favourites. He had a
very strange relationship with Mia Farrow, they never lived together but both lived in
Central Park.I was upset that he chose to have a fling with someone so young, don”t think his reputation ever recovered. Meant to say before Gone With the Wind is also
a favourite.
April 5th, 2008 at 3:08 pm
If a “friend” asked me to lie to the Police, I wouldn’t consider him/her a friend any longer. A real friend isn’t going to involve you in his own lies. He/she doesn’t want to bring problems on you.

Sorry about that, don”t know how it happened, my last post has been duplicated.!!!

But then Daisy, what strong reason, can make a friend lie to the police, other than also trying to save his own skin? It is very risky.
They are said to have been drinking what I call much, if the quantities we were given in the newspapers are accurate. It could have altered their judgement, and make them unconscious of the consequences.
Or is it friendship only that made them back up the story? (if it isn’t the truth).

Hi there…. did you get the jokes I e-mailed you last night? I loved the one about the Mouse Calibrator…..very funny.
Part of Jane Tanner”s Panorama Interview is on the CBS News website I posted to
noseycow earlier. Honestly, if we are meant to believe what she saw , she must think
we were all born yesterday. It has crossed my mind that rather than to help the
McCanns as she proclaims, it is more to help her partner. Over the past few weeks I
have read on different forums that Oldfield flew back to Portugal, two of the Tapas 7
have jumped ship, and the latest, that one of the Tapas 7 is refusing to arrange a date for the interview. Oh, and two of the Tapas 7 are to be made arguidos!!!!!

I haven’t seen all your favourites, so, thank you for the list !
Do you like Woody Allen’s movies?
An English one I found great, years ago, was “The Go-between”. (Another one about a child whose life is messed up by manipulative grown ups).

Marie Nicholas,
I agree. Any mother would run to the side of a sick child. Hence, I am more and more inclined to believe that there was not sick child in the Tanner/O’Brien family. It is very sad to think that someone could be aiding others in the concealment of an alleged crime and be so cold and calculating about it.
