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.

I dont think she meant a great deal really.
She noticed the “new posters” which is only one poster methinks
Its all rather unimportant,just “muddy water”

Like me then????
Although JO is the short version to my real name but everybody calls me Jo which is easier for many around the world
I love Amy and Madeleine (NOT a bad joke nor anything)

Thanks for that, sincerely hope there is no compromise, but these two Reports were
very recent, only days ago. Looks like Denzylle has gone. I was going to ask her what
she meant by clearwater etc……..can you tell me?

The most important development in the search for Madeleine since last September, and the Mccanns decide to be out of the country.

Jo - good luck for Dublin - not that you’ll need it…

“The McCanns will not be in Leicestershire for the duration of the visit by Mr Rebelo and his team.
………………………………………………………
Why ?? I would have thought their presence was a bit essential given that it is their missing child we are talking about here ! Wouldn’t you think they would have wanted to be on hand to help as much as possible ? what are they so scared of that they have to run off to another country to give them the benefit of their infinite wisdom on the subject of child care ???

Mr & Mrs Anorak
Congratulations on the safe arrival of your precious daughter. This is a very very special time and a wonderful opportunity to shut yourself away from the world and just enjoy.
Fantastic news
I always wanted four girls - they would have been called, Beth, Amy, Meg and Jo.

“The McCanns will not be in Leicestershire for the duration of the visit by Mr Rebelo and his team.
On Wednesday, they travel to Brussels to lobby for better co-ordination between European countries when a child goes missing.”
What fun! lets legg it hey? again as fast as pos
They really want to help but at the first opportunity, they legg it
Be a “star” is much more important to those 2 freaks than to BE where they should be.And how long are they going to be allowed to be in belgium?where are they going to be for the length of the interviews ABOUT A MISSING CHILD?????????

Congratulations to the parents of the newborn baby. I looked on the calendar to see what saint’s day it was yesterday : Irène, which in Greek, means “peace”. But I expect they have found her a name already.

Denzylle

I wouldnt worry too much about the “new” posters
Desperate to create diversion and bad feelings here…..same tactic as the mccanns isnt it?

The confidentiality has been compromised in january,hence the delay in the new interviews etc….
The PJ send the second set of letters with the upmost care to avoid repeating breach of confidentiality
April 6th, 2008 at 11:23 am
Good Morning all, this is a snippet from the SkyNews Report, seems no decisions
on the McCanns arguido status will be made soon, if this article is true.”The Portuguese authorities have asked that the contents of the request and the way it is being executed be kept confidential so as not to prejudice their ongoing investigation.”
The process of interviewing key witnesses will last several weeks but the Portuguese detectives will return home from interviewing the Tapas Seven at the end of the week.
Madeleine’s parents Kate, 40, and her husband, 39-year-old Gerry, remain formal
suspects in the case.
Oops I”ve done it again!!!!!!! Note the “Portugese request for confidentiality re the
letters, has this been compromised already do you think? We”ve had two seperate
reports that it has.

Police Fly To UK For Madeleine Interviews
“The Portuguese officers are expected to land at East Midlands Airport at 12.20pm on the flight from Faro.”

How many more? And all saying the same thing?
First we got Coldwater. Then his pal, Hotwater. Put the twa together and what you get is decidedly lukewarm. Now we have Clearwater.
I await the arrival of Muddy Waters …
… but perhaps that’s Clarrie.

Hi…congratulation.

…or…if you want to combine the fishy names then Limanda is nice or Shanny, Solenette not too bad or - given the nature of the tiny ones, Bib might not be bad….draw the line at Lumpsucker though………eeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwww!!
April 6th, 2008 at 10:52 am
Congratulations, how about “Karona”
April 6th, 2008 at 10:47 am
From the guardian article
“Mitchell said yesterday that, far from opposing the latest move by the Portuguese police to press their concerns over the ‘Tapas Nine’ testimony, the McCanns, Tanner and their other friends eagerly welcomed the opportunity, in the hope of finally bringing the legal process to an end and focusing ‘on what really matters - Madeleine’. Some of the friends, he said, had even considered going back to Portugal to try to speed an end to the investigation.”
I mean this clown is saying/has said so many stupid things….he doesnt say a word about being questioned as well does he?
Also he makes it look (the new quiz) as if it was just a friends gathering ,people who just go because THEY think its a good thing to do.He makes it looks like it is the mccTeam who is “inviting” the PJ….
They are not “opposed”????
