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.

Matt…… everything is fiction! Have you noticed how, when a celeb has an autobiography out, they always find something truly shocking to reveal ‘for the first time’? even if its book three…….
However I wonder if these friends and relatives of the McCanns will be named as well as quoted? Have to admit I’ve ordered it but don’t tell anyone.

I’m very sorry to hear what I think you said that you were ‘blown up’ but fortunately survived and I hope your child also survived since you mention your ‘offspring’. I think that you mention that both of you have your birthday soon so happy birthday on the day(s) -Funny the way people in families are often born in the same month.
Take care, bye again.

‘I’m not so sure. Victims feel guilty for the most strange reasons. I remember examples where someone survived a severe train crash. She was offered the seat at the window by another passenger who himself took the seat near the corridor. It turned out to be a fatal decision for the other passenger.’
i think that’s called survivors guilt.

“But although Kate and Gerry McCann are reportedly planning a ghostwritten tell-all memoir, their spokeswoman said the couple had not yet agreed to any project. “Reports of a confirmed book deal are incorrect,” she said. “We continue to be approached by various people, and we may consider these offers at some point in the future, but for now there is no deal in place.”

I believe what happened on May 3 was that Madeleine woke up, cried for a short while, realised her parents weren’t in the apartment as they had not come in to settle her, so she climbed out of bed and walked around the apartment.
She found the back patio door was insecure and partly open so she walked out, went down the small flight of steps and out of the gate, turning right down towards the entrance to the resort and the Tapas bar.
It was at this point that she was most likely abducted by an opportunistic predatory paedophile.
Interestingly the police dogs first tracked a scent down this exact route. Unfortunately, although it is within range of the supermarket CCTV it was not working.
I don’t believe a paedophile was watching the apartment nor do I believe an offender entered the apartment - this would be too high-risk.

Why dont the mc canns go with this theory, at all?
——————
Ah, i didnt see you slip that one in.
Well, contrary to the above (and what you dont want to hear) is that the McCanns trust the sighting of Tanner.
That, combined with the fact that the shutters and window were open would make a normal thinking person assume that she was taken and carried off by someone who had used the window as a means of egress.
Make any sense?
Nothing to do with trying to get out of the so called ‘neglect’ issue.

‘Well of course they wont admit leaving the children was wrong, because that would leave them wide open to all manner of charges. They will not admit that ANYTHING that they have done is wrong. Gerry, in particular is protective of his own image - I would hazard a guess that if the shit hit the fan, the Gerry McCann self preservation society would kick little Kate into touch, and she would be left to string a few Liverpudlian words together as best she could - flanked only by her mum and dad. The McClann would be off as fast as their little scots legs could carry them - All in my opinion, of course’
yes, i tend to agree

Blake rushes McCann book
01.05.08
John Blake Publishing is to release an unauthorised book about the disappearance of toddler Madeleine McCann at the end of the month.
Managing director John Blake said he had been forced to double his initial print run as a result of “massive orders” for Vanished: the Truth About the Disappearance of Madeleine McCann, which author Danny Collins based on interviews with friends and close contacts of the McCann family.
Blake believes there would be similar interest in a book written by the McCanns themselves, which is reportedly in the pipeline. “I think there is likely to be a massive amount of interest out there. It’s a terrible, awful story, but it’s one that has captured people’s curiosity.”
But although Kate and Gerry McCann are reportedly planning a ghostwritten tell-all memoir, their spokeswoman said the couple had not yet agreed to any project. “Reports of a confirmed book deal are incorrect,” she said. “We continue to be approached by various people, and we may consider these offers at some point in the future, but for now there is no deal in place.”
