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.

Sorry about that. But I don’t think that this can disprove the phenomenon of posttraumatic guilt in general.
————————————————-
But so far you haven’t demonstrated that there is a ‘phenomenon of posttraumatic guilt’ in general, or, indeed in particular.
No one has ever suggested that undergoing a traumatic event will give rise to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder; it may do, or it may not. Equally, some people who suffer Post Traumatic Stress Disorder may have feelings of guilt, but then again, they may not.
It may be that you are thinking in terms of ’survivor guilt’ but that is a rather different kettle of sardines.
You don’t even need to have a traumatic event to suffer survivor guilt; for example, the reported death of a fellow patient can do that to some people.
The point is that you are trying to support your argument by postulating your conclusion as a premise.
Tempting, I know, but still a logical fallacy…

Maybe in some cases, but you have not established that there is evidence to establish that parents of alleged abducted children feel guilty about not being ‘directly there’, although they may feel guilty about other things
The repeated assurances that an abduction took place mentioned in the BBC interview come only from themselves, so I think you could open your mind or eat an apple since one a day keeps the doctor away.

So what is happening, this report says the PJ do not have the results from the FSS.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The faces of the investigation changed - Paulo Rebelo is the new responsible - the methods too, but in fact few steps were taken. The rogatory letters took five months to be completed and days before the interrogations were made by the police of Leicester the British already knew the steps that the PJ wanted to make. Of the new evidence collected little is known, but if the contradictions continue, the PJ will be once again hostage of the laboratory results that still did not arrive.

They are probably at this moment working on a re-vamp of the Liver Birds programme - or on cameo appearances in Coronation Street - East Enders wouldnt have them - they are too pretty for that!!

Firestar - I think that the McCanns days of dealing with the public face to face in their proffessions are probably numbered. Whatever the outcome of this case, even if no charges are ever brought. Who would want to be dealt with by a cardiologist or a GP whose “neglect” extended to what should have been the most precious things in their lives - their children. I wouldnt trust either of them to treat me, or give me a diagnosis.

Not bad thanks wtf. having a lazy day today, dont feel like doing anything, so feet up, laptop on lap and coffee in hand….ohhh this is the life!!

Can’t see the McDoc’s doing a public Uriah Heap type “umbleness”.
They do match several of his other characteristics though.

Hi Karen
… BTW, does anybody have a link to the documentary? … is it in Youtube yet? Thanks!
May 2nd, 2008 at 1:34 pm
This is a short extract recently posted by the Birmingham Mail
A year on from that balmy Portuguese evening, we haven’t quite forgiven the McCanns. And we think it’s a bit rich that this once-thoughtless couple are currently campaigning for a cross-European alert system for abducted children.
And is their suffering any worse than the bereft parents of Sudan and Zimbabwe who lose children daily to hunger and sickness?
HOW RIGHT THEY ARE !!

..my understanding is that most, if not all details come from the mccans themselves and some against the advice of the pj….
——————————————————————-
Your understanding is correct; for example, the McCann family provided the photo of Madeleine and it was up on the BBC website on the 4th May, 2007.
The British police also do not advise releasing that sort of information; the UK’s most senior officer responsible for missing children, Deputy Assistant Commissioner Richard Bryan has said that police would rather use other investigative techniques to trace children before going public and potentially alerting abductors.
This isn’t some quirk of the Portuguese policing system; it’s standard practise world wide…

‘A man that I work for who is not especially interested in the case and impartial passed comment yesterday that he had heard the Mccanns being interviewed on the radio and sounded “so cold and emotionless” that there is something amiss there’
yes i agree, their intonations and word empathises (if that’s a word) seems off or odd or something.. and they don’t answer questions directly. i wish i hadn’t watched/listened to that interview now, i feel like someone has pulled wool over my eyes, that is the sensation i have, you know how you feel when someone is decieving or obfusciating.. very unsettling.

May 2nd, 2008 at 1:31 pm
I wonder what restaurants Clarence says he goes in with the mc canns ?
Do all the punters shout ” Have you checked the children” or something?
What would you shout if they came into a restaurant near you
