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.

Well…it is indeed new.
Hopefully no-one will be uncautious enough to call them…but the Number
is being advertised Nationally…..and someone may ring and then who
knows what may follow…..payment…intimidation…harassment.

jo, I thought you were sure that the PJ is not looking for a living Madeleine any more. IF this really WERE true, can you explain me why they should care about the PJ at all? ’cause the one and only reason to cooperate with the PJ would be to have them helping to find Madeleine.

The whole world has been looking for Madeleine while they were sitting on their lazy asses,busy lying and playing victims.

Good evening wtf! You’d be proud of me tonight, I only won Ready, Steady, Slightly Over-done, whereas usually I win Ready, Steady, Render Inedible! A simple pasta dish, which as I type is being endured by the ravenous Smuddlets who have to live in Terrible-Cook-Land until they get a decent meal in borstal. I trust you are well this lovely evening and that you are feeding your hoard a sensible, balanced and un-charred diet.

You seem to be unable to grasp the seriousness of this matter.
They do not want to have nice little chats about the weather with
anyone incautious to call them….they want to know what the Police
know.

Hi PeterMac…..
What is your view on the McCann’s new tactic ?
Asking Witnesses who have given statements to the PJ, to ring the McCann
number to tell them what they said to the Police ?

New tactic,Matt? None.They just spin and create situations to unsettle the investigation and the PJ.
They are playing a dangerous game here,very dangerous.I am not sure witnessses are going to respond positively to this

If I am reading between the lines correctly, it sounds as if even more vigilance is needed to see there is no illegal collaboration to block the progress of truth and justice for Madeleine.
How are the McCs able to get away with their latest telephone line? Why aren’t the legal authorities here protesting and getting it removed?

Do you feel any anxiousness to return to Portugal?
Yes. We never imagined that Portugal would give us so much attention.

“If Mr Mitchell is aware of UK’s “Child Rescue Alert” and also the above Amber Alert Systems already in place in other countries yet failed to mention the significance, then are there other countries who also have the equivalent to the Amber Alert in place that he has, perhaps, also failed to mention? If so, why?”
Only two possibilities really
1 He is an idiot
2 He is lying
His choice. I couldn’t possibly comment.

Everyhtin they do rings alarm bells, they are now saying it is wiser to run the campaign from england because of the tourists that were over there this time last year, this has nothing to do with leads on maddie, but all about somebody reporting their behaviour to the pj imo of course

When you consider all the advertising they did earlier for French/German speaking people to train to run enquiry lines in their countries, and no doubt to raise funds, the pot is probably brimming over.

Madeleine McCann’s parents have launched a direct appeal to anyone who has spoken to Portuguese police about her disappearance to contact them.
A year on from their daughter’s abduction and with their relationship with the Portuguese investigation team having become strained, Gerry and Kate McCann said it was now their right to know what information, including every potential lead, was out there.
Mr McCann said: “This is something we have been working on behind the scenes, putting into place what we knew was going to be massive media attention on us and trying to capitalise on that to get our message out.
“We have used the documentary as a platform, told a story of where we are at … to bring the focus completely back to what this was always about, and that’s finding Madeleine.”
Mrs McCann said: “There has been that much speculation in a lot of the media, particularly the written press.
“I find it upsetting, but it’s upsetting for Madeleine. It’s taking away people searching for Madeleine.”
With the anniversary of the child’s disappearance from a holiday apartment in Praia da Luz falling on Saturday, the McCanns believe this could be a “last chance” in their search.
Because of Portugal’s secrecy laws, they have been kept in the dark over much of the information the authorities have collected about her disappearance, despite numerous apparent leaks to the media in Portugal and Spain.
“We are a year down the line and seemingly no closer to finding Madeleine. We have got little bits of the jigsaw but huge gaps and we have a resource, we have set aside considerable resources on this task,” Mr McCann said.
The couple urged people to call a new phone line - 0845 838 4699 - with any potential leads.

Yes, there is a strong link between Austria an Algarve:
Both girls depended on their parents’ responsibilities.
*************
The only relationship is it is both parents interest to sa and maintain their daughters have disappeared.
The mccanns are clutching at straw again in their “make believe” world: Madeleine may come out in the years to come……
They can delude themselves and they are deluded,but not the vast majority of people
