Madeleine McCann: Josef Fritzl, Tabloid Bingo And Watching Kate McCann
MADDIE WATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann
DAILY MIRROR (front page): “We’ll find Madeleine ourselves”
It is the McCanns’ “EXTRAORDINARY VOW”.
Any news of Metodo 3, the sleuths who would find Madeleine by last Christmas?
TWINS IN VOW TO FIND SIS - MISSING MADELEINE McCANN: ONE YEAR ON
The McCanns’ three-year-old twins Sean and Amelie have promised their grieving parents they will rescue their missing big sister.
Well, why not let them have a go?
Says Gerry McCann: “Madeleine is everywhere in our lives.” All our lives.
IRISH INDEPENDENT: “’One year on, we’re no closer to finding Maddy’”
Says Kate McCann: “There has been that much speculation in a lot of the media, particularly the written press. It’s taking away people searching for Madeleine.”
Says Kate McCann, and not Clarence Mitchell, the McCanns’ media handler.
POLO SHIRTS (a company selling T-shirts): “T-Shirts can be very valuable tools in helping to find missing children. Think about how many people see you each and every day. If you are wearing a T-shirt with the picture of a missing child on it then all of those people are also seeing the child and, hopefully, watching for her everywhere that they go. In the case of Madeleine McCann, the sale of T-Shirts is also helping to raise money for Madeleine’s fund: Leaving No Stone Unturned.”
Let’s hear it for the T-shirts!
GLASGOW DAILY RECORD: “Tragedy Breeds Tourism”
It is a year since Madeleine McCann vanished.
Madeleine McCann and Josef Fritzl? We’ve already had the McCanns and Elisabeth Fritzl. There’s a link? Joan Burnie sees one..
The apartment from which the then three-year-old disappeared has now become a sick tourist attraction, where people take their own kiddies to be photographed where once Madeleine slept.
Next year, can we expect the Austrian Tourist Board to promote tours of the dungeon in which Josef Fritzl incarcerated and abused his daughter?
THE SUN: “Dungeon rescue gives me hope”
Madeleine McCann and Elisabeth Fritzl? A link?
MISSING Madeleine McCann’s mum told yesterday how the astonishing rescue of Austrian dungeon girl Elisabeth Fritzl has given her fresh hope that her daughter is still alive.
Kate, 40, said that hearing how Elisabeth was saved after 24 years imprisonment renewed her belief that little Maddie may also be held captive somewhere.
It’s Tabloid Bingo! Bingo! Bingo!
METRO: “Dungeon fear for Maddy”
THE GUARDIAN: “Fritzl case proves long-term missing can re-emerge, say McCanns”
The couple had taken hope from the case of Elisabeth Fritzl, the Austrian woman whose father locked her in a cellar beneath his house for 24 years, and fathered seven children with her, said Gerry McCann.
DAILY MAIL (front page): “Kate: one year on: A portrait of torment”
Kate McCann is a “GP”.
DAILY TELEGRAPH (front page): “MADELEINE JUST FEELS VERY CLOSE”
Kate McCann:
It’s a sense, really. Madeleine just feels very close. It’s more of a kind of sensation that she’s there. You try to be objective and think, ‘Is that just because I’m her mum and I want to believe it?’ But it hasn’t changed.

Ferdinand. That is obvious. You’ve taken me out of contect. I was askign for the a fact that proved that there was even an abduction.
Of course anyone who leaves their child alone and then said child goes missing is bound to feel guilt and so they bloody well should. Don or (garth) is stating the abduction as a fact.

Should this forum to be used as a “chat room” for people to exchange meaningless pleasantries? It seems like a waste of computing power and the genuinely-interested people’s time.
your statement seems to be the same

Even the girls.
I think it’s to stop some of the wedding dress monstrosities that some parents inflict on their kids.

“But could you just for one second consider that Gerry McCann is looking for someone or something to justify his outrageous decision. He is not thinking rationally. All he knows is that they took the decision to leave the children and it was wrong and it led to Madeleines abduction. I can’t imagine how that feels, the guilt must be unbearable.”
“Don - where are your facts? Please provide the facts that prove that it led to Madeleines abduction?”
It is of course rubbish to say that leaving the children alone “leads” to an abduction. It is still the crime of the abductor, regardless how close the parents are, and how often the parents checked.
But it seems to be well established that parents of abducted children typically tend to feel guilty of “not being there when it happened”.

In our local church they’re all stuck in albs and tabards - so the outfit underneath doesn’t matter.

Thats my choice too, but it might cause controversy down in the bush.
To us ravers he looks like Alex Turner in a stone roses white hippyish top.
To the church he will look like an indian groom.
That’s their problem - not yours or his.

‘Some state that Madeleine is now 5 years old, ‘
she will be, or would have been ,five on the twelve of may.
’some state that Gerry McCann is 39, others that he is 40.’
i think gerry is a bit younger than kate. i think kate has had a birthday and is now 40 and gerry must’ve had a birthday too by now ?
‘So when cuddle cat was ‘on a high shelf’ or ‘on the bed’ why should I believe they ae accurate?’
true, we don’t know how accurate the newspapers are.

‘Then he tends to say he can’t comment because of the investigation. It’s extraordinary how the secrecy laws only cover difficult questions.’
perhaps incriminating questions would be a more accurate way of phrasing it ?

Gonçalo Amaral - Madeleine’s voice
As you can understand, I can’t do any comment about the investigation on the “McCann Case”… (I have omitted the next part, in the interests of privacy and it did not in any way compromise the judicial secrecy laws)
Looking towards my freedom of speech, I asked for my retirement last month. All the insults, false accusations and lie’s from the past year are now being brought to court from my lawyers (the very last one is from Daily Mail, yesterday).
I would like to say thank you to the thousands of persons that every day, for the last year, are supporting me all over the world. I would like to answer all the phone calls, emails and letters, but is not possible…there are so many! As you can imagine, most of the days are not that easy, and these messages have been a great support not only for me, but also for my family. Once again, thank you all!
You’re allowed do display this message on you site, and I thank you for that. One last thing:
*Soon, very soon the world will know the “Truth about the Lie” and “we will gain truth and justice for a little girl who has no voice”, dead on the evening of May 3rd at apartment 5A, Ocean Club, Praia da Luz, Algarve, Portugal”*
Apologies if you have already seen this, this is amarals remarks,the bit at the end is very revealing… yes….

‘Well at least you used something credible, unlike Wikipedia which is crap ( posh word for rubbish !! )’
i like the wiki though, find it very informative, it’s not all crap. it’s a good idea which some people abuse.

No but it is as well to read there pish as well as our own papers.

Hi,
I’m doing a Research Study for A2 Media Studies on the McCann case, alongside comparing it to Shannon Matthews. I’m not looking at the specific details of both cases, rather the amount of media attention each has received and why.
It could be helpful to get your opinions on the amount of media Madeline has received, and also why you think the UK (and in fact a huge proportion of the world) have been so entranced by this little girl, and also why Shannon Matthews barely made the national news while she was missing (before the controversy surrounding the circumstances of her disappearance).
Also, any useful websites about the McCann case would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Agrimony
