Madleine McCann: Rachel Oldfield Knows, Doctors And Gerry McCann
MADDIE WATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann
DAILY MAIL: “Stop the carnival”
It’s Richard Littlejohn:
I’ve always been uneasy about the media carnival, but figured if that’s what got her parents through the night, what business was it of mine.
However, one year on, there’s something distasteful about the continuing round of claim and counter-claim, blame and counter-blame.
Gerry and Kate McCann should be left alone with their demons, with our sympathy, and not live out their guilt in public any longer. The police and the private detectives should be left to get on with their job.
The Tapas Seven, the McCanns’ PR man, the professional ghouls should all keep their theories to themselves.
And their opinions?
DAILY MIRROR: “Rachael Oldfield of the Tapas Seven breaks her silence over McCann’s torment”
Tapas Seven? And why speak now?
Rachael Oldfield, a 36-year-old recruitment consultant, said: “I was there on the night. I spent time with Gerry and Kate during the week before May 3 and after.
What happened?
“Their emotions and their reactions were just agonising. There’s just no way they were involved in anything to do with Madeleine’s disappearance.
“If you take the common sense approach and look at timings and the fact they are medics and there are four other medics in the group, they would know what to do to resuscitate a child.
Common sense? Doctors. Such are the facts.
“Anyone with an ounce of common sense would be able to see they couldn’t have done it. And I was there and I know they didn’t do it.”
DAILY STAR: “OUTRAGEOUS”
Rachel Oldfield has a pop at the Portuguese police, and complains about being bound by law to, er, keep quiet.
GLASGOW DAILY RECORD: “McCanns’ Anger At Being Kept In The Dark”
Says Gerry McCann: “I think it’s safe to say we’re getting very little information. We haven’t had any communication in terms of what’s been done in the investigation.”
“We would like to know what is being done to find Madeleine. We’ve always said we want to leave no stone unturned and to do that we need to know which stones have already been overturned.”
THE SUN: “Stop shifting blame, Kate”
IS it just me or are the McCanns getting on your nerves too?
It’s you. It’s them. It might be all of you.
Now, in a new TV documentary, Kate says that she wanted a baby monitor but the resort didn’t have one. So instead she, Gerry and the Tapas Seven made the bizarre decision to eat out every night and leave three young children home alone. I’m sorry, in any language that’s child neglect.
Sorry? Why is Gaunt sorry?
And, by the way, I’m not being heartless, just honest.
DAILY TELEGRAPH: “Madeleine McCann’s father: police gave up”
Mr McCann tells BBC Radio 4 interviewer Steve Kingstone: “We would like to know what is being done to find Madeleine. We’d like know who has been eliminated from the inquiry and on what grounds and what leads are still being followed.”
No news is news

Jo,
Yes, we all want justice. I just don’t like the fact that someone (anybody!) is going to make money out of the misfortune of a child. Maybe he will donate the profits to some good cause? That would be better, IMO.

Daisy the McCanns have not been requested to return, nowhere is there an official request for them to do so, another myth.It was their lawers who first broached the idea last year.
———————-
Gerry and Kate McCann have been asked to return to Portugal to take part in a large-scale re-enactment of the hours surrounding Madeleine’s disappearance.
The McCanns’ lawyers have met the ****Portuguese police authorities who requested that they return to the resort of Praia da Luz ****where their daughter disappeared almost a year ago.
this doesn’t say the mccanns lawyers asked to go back.
it says the police met their lawyers and the police asked them to go back.
looks official enough.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2008/04/08/nmaddy208.xml
the myth is that it was their lawyer’s idea.

April 26th, 2008 at 2:32 pm
I’d like to go back to this quote from R.Oldfield in yesterday’s Mirror:
“There’s just no way they were involved in anything to do with Madeleine’s disappearance.”
“If you take the common sense approach and look at timings and the fact they are medics and there are four other medics in the group, they would know what to do to resuscitate a child.”
“Anyone with an ounce of common sense would be able to see they couldn’t have done it. And I was there and I know they didn’t do it.”
What does she mean by “it”? M’s disappearance?
By disappearance does she mean “vanishing” or “death”
So there was something she calls “it”.
But it wasn’t them what did “it”.
So somebody else did”it”.
But the “it” needed skills in resuscitation.
So “it” doesn’t refer to kidnapping.
Was her subconscious trying to tell us something?

Fair,
from what I understand, and IP address is assigned automatically to a particular PC by your/their internet provider. In general, the IP is the same for that PC, but, like I experienced recently, some providers have some sort of “revolving” IP addresses, therefore a particular PC could have different IP addresses. I discovered this recently about my provider.

What people tend to forget is that Amaral is a very experience detective..
He has been in the back ground even if removed from the case….
The PJ will bring to justice people guilty of Madeleine”s disappearance.
Dont worry about this because you and I want justice for Madeleine,dont we?

I doubt very much whether Amaral can publish before the investigation is complete, but I bet it is worrying for the McCanns. If the case is dropped through lack of evidence
he will be able to tell us lots we don”t know.
I also think the British Press will become less biased after this Documentary. From
various reports, it”s more to do with the McCanns campaigning , although I understand
Kate “breaks down” several times. a couple of Dailies are saying enough is enough.
April 26th, 2008 at 2:18 pm
“Gerry and especially Kate said, ‘I do feel like she is out there’,” he said.
especially kate?
gerry must have just sort of thought she was out there.

“Madeleine, One Year On: Campaign For Change Wednesday, Stv, 8pm: [...] The McCanns also talk openly about their ordeal, including how they were named as suspects by the Portuguese police. ”
(from the “Daily Record”)

RETIREMENT
In spite of being near to the retirement, accumulating 38 years of service - 26 in the police force plus eight more years of military service added of 20 % of bonus - Gonçalo Amaral risks being punished with the publication of the book. Even in the retirement, the inspector has an obligation to carry out the disciplinal regulation of the police.
Source: Correio da Manhã
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
So Amaral signed up when he was 10 years old, that’s on par for the accuracy of that particular rag.

I think the simple answer is that people are making it up.
I cannot find any substantiated report suggesting that Amaral has disclosed any information, nor can I find one to suggest that his book would be published before the secrecy requirements lapse.
It’s just more spin…

xklamation,
Who is there to say that what the book will reveal is the truth? I personally don’t hold Amaral in very high esteem and he could be saying anything he likes in his book. It could be a web of factual and some not so factual events/circumstances. As a police officer, whether he was removed from the case or not, all his files must be known to the current investigators, therefore, whatever he will write in the book, would be known to the PJ now. Has this brought anybody to justice yet? No.

Madeleine lives ….
Is it?
…
Where?
….
The parents of Madeleine McCann believe that “probably lives” since his father says that there is “zero evidence” otherwise.
With this logic … There is “zero evidence” that is alive …
Gerry does not know whether the PJ still looking for Madeleine, which keeps a few contacts.
What better opportunity to participate in reconstruction and answer all the questions?
It was wrong to leave their babies alone, but ruled that they are accused of negligence.
Discard … … why … Is it to be accused of more serious crimes?
Already lawyers told them that what they did fall within the bounds of responsible parenthood, and of course they always thought that what they were doing was perfectly reasonable.
What would you to these lawyers say to Madeleine … could they look at her in the eyes and talk of “responsible parenthood”? Will Madeleine agree that what made their parents is “perfectly reasonable”? ¿ What do you think the twins will think in a few years? It is “responsible parenthood” of McCann included as an example in the AMBER Alert. The AMBER alert covers these attitudes “perfectly reasonable” for McCann?
” Looking back, it is clear that we were wrong. Of course that never again leave the children alone. We are paying a higher price than anyone can imagine. ”
Paying and receiving. The error of McCann has resulted in currency … Is it reasonable to pay the mortgage and expenses of the family?
To Portugal,they dont return.
The PJ the farther away … better …
Gerry said that they have no more information than was available on May 4 why talk about negligence charges now?
Why not Gerry? It is never too late when it is good …
. Gerry said “I think she is alive. One thing is certain. I did not see anything to suggest she is dead. And I emphasize the nothing, absolutely zero. And I’m sure that if there is any evidence we had already learned a long time ago. ”
How about DNA, dogs …? Or Does the evidence should be accepted by the suspects to be so, evidence?
Gerry wants to know why the files remain secret after a year and the change in the penal code.
For extension,may be, Gerry?
We want to know what they are doing to find Madeleine.
This is easy. They are investigating what happened and where they hid her . Reconstruction is called this part. But they wont attend. They do not answer and dont attend. Pity for Madeleine. How about asking Method 3? … But now it is the turn of attacking the PJ …
We want to know who have been removed from the investigation and why and what are the tracks they are following.
Being suspects who hide behind silence and absence … sounds like too pretentiousfor those who are trying to rectify the “mistake” committed by abandoning their child …
We”ve always said that we do not want to leave no stone r unturned in order to do that we need to know what stones were removed.
There are all kinds of stones, some occupied by the parents of the missing.
Gerry believes that always worked well with the PJ and continue running.
Strange way to collaborate, unanswered, missing and filled with claims
