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.

Could you correct my post to state September 2007 not 2008?
The new phone line launched today appears to be encouraging witnesses to break Portuguese secrecy.
What would McFraudo3 do with the missing jigsaw pieces? What have they achieved already?
BTW do other posters think that there are suddenly a lot of backdated BBC reports or have they always been there?

“The English prime minister, Gordon Brown, had conversations about the case with his Portuguese counterpart, José Sócrates.
The last conversation took place a month after Kate and Gerry were made arguidos - on suspicion of concealment of the corpse and simulation of the crime of abduction - and showed the powerful connections of the couple in England.”
Rather heavy “suspicions”
Rather heavy Gordon Browns involment
Rather powerful connections
Rather NOT wanting to let the truth BE
Am I going to be put in moderation again,M&A?

They are all the same type of people imo, me me me! I would never leave my daughter with a complete stranger, family, yes, or friends, but never an agency. Why do these people have kids, they treat them like an accessory.

This may sound like it is completely off topic but it just serves to illustrate what some people find most important in the world. We recently had the case of the woman who was fined £60 for dropping an apple core on the pavement, this - we are told , is “controlled waste” not - as in “my day” the bio-degradable residue of a fruit, much prized as a food source by slugs, snails, all manner of insect life and birds but “controlled waste” !! She got let off I believe, but only because she shopped her friend who actually dropped it, but now we have the woman who accidentally dropped a piece of a sausage roll she was eating, it broke off apparently, and said morsel was immediately consumed by pigeons BUT she was fined £75 for “littering” !! ….87 year-old ladies are getting raped in their beds, children are being abducted, young Asian womenare being trafficked in Yarmouth for sex, teenagers are having their heads jumped on for being a Goth and thus dying from said treatment but oh…. fuck me …!!! there’s a piece of sausage roll on the pavement !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Who are these “Jobsworths” ?? is this some sort of denial as to the reality of life around us ?

Hi Jo, I saw them on BBC TV this morning in a programme caleed “Missing”, talking
about Amber Alert, posted an Article quoting a British Policeman saying Britain would
not participate because their system is adequate. Embarassing for the McCanns when
the U.K. is not supporting the idea wouldn”t you say?
As for all these interviews, the end result will be a big turn off by the British public,
after all Madeleine went missing in Portugal, not U.K.
If this was a PR stunt dreamt up by CM, it will not do the McCanns any good, he” has
been very quiet lately though.

fiona phillips.
no wonder she’s a mccann supporter, poor thing.
We often left ours sleeping upstairs in a hotel room while we dined downstairs until one night, when they were two and five, we were told they were running up and down the landing screaming and calling for Mummy.
I have never felt so wretched - seeing two tear-stained faces looking questioningly at me as if to say “Why did you leave us?” is an image that has stayed with me.
Now we take them with us or leave them with babysitters - babysitters who are sometimes male, often complete strangers whose credentials we don’t check.
What are we to do? Not go out on our own? Not go on holiday? Or trust that our faith in human kindness will prevail? In the end that’s all we can do.

Maddie the most famous missing girl of the world
A year after ,the mystery surrounding the disappearance of Madeleine McCann, of an apartment in the Ocean Club at Praia da Luz (Lagos) remains unsolved. The investigation continues based on indirect evidence and runs at the taste of bureaucracy, but also of time and willingness of several British authorities who have cooperated with the PJ.
If, in fact, the British girl with green eyes died in the apartment - as the evidence points out - the truth is that it did not appeared yet what the investigators think is the crucial proof, the corpse. The absence of the body has made impossible the total clarification of the case by the PJ, and allows the McCanns to continue to feed, as they affirmed yesterday in London to the press, the idea that their daughter is alive and that she was the victim of an abduction.
The investigators continue not to picture what really happened in the Ocean Club between 6pm - the time when Kate entered the apartment with the three children - and 22pm, when the alarm of her disappearance was made. The depositions of Kate and Gerry and the seven friends who dined with them in the Tapas restaurant are contradictory. And the McCanns did not yet answered the questions that the PJ considers essential to the progress of the investigation. A silence only broken by the several interviews given by them - the last one was given yesterday to JN - and in that interview nothing was said, again, about what happened the night of 3rd of May of last year.
Steps under way
There are other testimonies and other evidence that will help the inspectors to give small steps, but the resolution of the mystery, for many, seems far away of happening.
The truth is that never before the disappearance of a child caught so much attention in the world, nor was the target of so many political interventions. The English prime minister, Gordon Brown, had conversations about the case with his Portuguese counterpart, José Sócrates.
The last conversation took place a month after Kate and Gerry were made arguidos - on suspicion of concealment of the corpse and simulation of the crime of abduction - and showed the powerful connections of the couple in England. A country where newspapers and journalists were obliged to pay huge compensations and apologize publicly for the news published about couple and their involvement in the case.
One year after the disappearance of Madeleine, the image of the PJ continues to be questioned and subjected to veiled threats from the United Kingdom. The investigators and their personal life began to be scrutinised by the media. The most striking example was the one of the former coordinator of the PJ of Portimão, Gonçalo Amaral, criticized for his personal living habits and involvement in a process of alleged torture of Leonor Cipriano.
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.
A year after, the mystery involves the most famous girl disappeared in the World.

No, I don”t know a Laurie Turner, tried to get the website just now but “problem with
the Server” came up. I presume he is the author of the Article. We know that Kate
is a qualified Anaesthetist so would know all about sedatives and dosage, wasn”t an empty syringe found in the apartment.
Apparently, the Residents are having a hard time in PDL , coach loads from as far as
Lisbon descending on the resort wanting to see all the relevant areas, taking photos
of 5a, the Church, OC etc. Must be hard for them and they must be wishing the McCanns had never holidayed there.
