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.

Bored?
++++++++++++++++
Wish I had time to get bored. In between monitoring Anorak I’m wrestling with a clapped out boiler trying to get some hot water for Mrs D’s bath!
P.S. Love the suggestions for the baby’s name. My personal favourite so far is ‘arsenelina’ from MrsT. Given young and old Mr Anorak’s connections with a certain Asian female table-tennis team, I personally favour a more exotic sounding name, something like -
‘Ti Lemongrass Sorene’?

If going to Rothley, give my regards to the Mccns!!!
April 6th, 2008 at 6:52 pm

Are you seriously travelling to Rothley? (or elsewhere in the UK)?

Hi
I proposed the girl to be called Madeleine, as an hommage to “our” poor tot. Somebody may think that it’s a sad name (or even a bit sinister) but I don’t think so. Madeleine is a pretty name. Anybody else voting for Madeleine?

Ian
I know what you are saying Ian and believe me, they are under scrutinity for the rest of their lives arguidos or not, charged or not, or simply released from any status.People are and will be watching them for a long,long time.Thats what happens.
Whatever the outcome of the case,they have made the world their very own jail
April 6th, 2008 at 6:38 pm
Mic - agreed, I think K mcc already wants to ‘come clean’ but has to get out from under the thumb first.
April 6th, 2008 at 6:36 pm
Aren’t the rich and famous naming their children after fruit nowadays? How about mango??
The only acceptable alternative is to name them after the place they were conceived. So how about Office table???

Regarding the ‘dark secrets’ article….
It just shows that the longer things drag on, the more your mind and your conscience can get the better of what might loosely be termed ‘common sense’. Then, keeping ones mouth shut about an incident (of whatever seriousness) may not be all that easy.
I didn’t know that about that thieving git Maxwell either….
