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.

Mustn’t have noticed the post….Sorry.
Haven’t heard anything about the Millionaire and his Suit.
Boris as Mayor….?? Not sure if that is a good or bad thing.
I doubt if I would have voted for him…if I was a Londoner.
I don’t think he would have had much chance of becoming a
Mayor of Liverpool though.

There now seems to be a more reasonable thread about this issue on the site you referred to.

Hi Matt, I posted to you when I was here earlier, no reply so don”t know if you saw it.
It was saying a Conservative millionaire was taking Gordon Brown to court for not
having a Referendum, but it wasn”t on the 7pm News, so probably a joke.
Seems Boris is to be the next Mayor of London though!!!!!!

’sam,
I wish you will prove right.’
dr watson, i feel i sit on both sides of the fence, look at one side and see it reasonable and then the next minute on the other side. one side is instinct the other side is reason, the problem i i can reason both sides but my instinct tells me one side is more right and because it is instinct you have to keep on trying to prove it wrong, and i haven’t succeeded sofar, i still cling to the ludicrous idea, without proof whatsoever, that maddie died in the appartement on the 3rd of may. i would actually prefer that not to be true.

I’m not sure why you dedicate this post to me.
The portuguese may extend the arguido-status as long as they want, but the status of “suspects in public opinion” has obviously been lifted by the Express group. There’s now only “put up or shut up” for the PJ.
May 2nd, 2008 at 10:22 pm
Be prepared to be even more confused, case could be heading for the shelve.

In my view……….persons closely involved in a “missing child” investigation
who form a Team….and from day 1, attempt to discredit the Police, and then
continue that behaviour constantly….are persons to be extremely suapicious
off.

Maddie: A year of Mystery - Felgueiras interviews the McCanns
Tonight, at 21pm, RTP will Broadcast a Special on ‘Maddie: A year of Mystery’.
The following is an excerpt of the video interview done by Sandra Felgueiras to the McCanns.
Sandra Felgueiras, RTP journalist, for those who do not remember, was the first to ask some pertinent questions to the McCanns regarding the Calpol and the incongruences in the Tapas9 statements. The interviews were done in August and showed in a RTP documentary “Madeleine: Anatomy of a Mystery” in November 2007.
Blood in the apartment…
Calpol or other sedatives…

Hi again, I just tried to post on the McCanns asking for info from people who have
given info to PJ, quoted bbc/news website.
Also Jo, what”s PTNews? there”s a translation of an article in there saying the
Ministry of Justice and a Judge will meet in two weeks to decide what to do next.
The post disappeared, so I”ll try again.

” Mitchell did say that the gloves were off….accused the PJ of the
“Crying” leak….got smacked hard for that by the PJ….and whimpered
“I don’t want to get into a fight”.
Lawyer’s advice ?? I would say that they have had some pretty poor
advice myself.”
It was long my hope that behind the scenes the PJ were working on a solution. The parents seemed to play frictions down, despite being suspected themselves. But the recent developements seem to suggest that they don’t count on the PJ any more. That seems to be the sad truth.
I don’t know if the PJ is to blame, or the McCanns. Certainly I have no blind faith in any police force in the world. I have seen too many failures in high profile cases.

I can imagine the UK Media Headlines and Breaking News TV Items
which would erupt if Mr Murat had “dared” to make a request like
Dr G P has done ….regarding a Phone Line for “Official Wittnesses”
to call him and tell him what they told the PJ.
He would be slaughtered by them. IMO

It cant be clearer:they have been made arguido on account of suspicions …if they didnt know,I hope they”ve got it now

Ian had his good points…a good and interesting poster…but could get
a bit carried away….too emotionally involved in the “Neglect” issue
perhaps. Not a bad person. IMO
BTW…What is your personal view regarding the MM case ?
May 2nd, 2008 at 10:09 pm
to all anti-s,
Do you think that if they get charged and refused to go to Portugal, one day they will be ripped apart by the angry crowd?

Hypothesis.
The Public Ministry considers extending the term of protection of the process
The Public ministry (MP) is going to effectuate an evaluation, on the 15th of May relative to the disappearance of Madeleine McCann, in the Praia da Luz (Lagos), in order to take a decision on the Secrecy of Justice. The DN found that the period is prone to be extended. As it was recently affirmed by the Council’s president of the Order of the Lawyers from the District of Faro, António Cabrita, the complexity of a process of this type can make that the MP “determines that the same continues for more phases”.
For the process to continue under the secret of justice it is also necessary that the judge of criminal instruction of Portimão, Pedro Frias, understands that this situation is declared, depending still on the content of the investigations of the Judiciary Police. When there are no imprisoned arguidos, the stipulations can be extended in function of the discovery of the truth. Remember that the first one to become arguido in the Maddie case was the British-Portuguese Robert Murat, at the time suspected to be involved in the kidnapping of the child, being since the 14th of May of 2007 subjected to the measure of least coercion of Term of Identity and Residence (TIR). The McCann couple was also obliged to this measure on the 7th of September, for the suspicion of involvement in the death and occultation of the body of their daughter.
