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.

This was the PT News item I posted earlier to Jo in English.
The Ministry of Justice and a Judge will meet in two weeks to decide how to proceed
with the case.

I was congratulating Gandolf because he had said he was going to watch the footie, so I presumed he was a Rangers Fan.
I havn”t been posting here long enough to really know who is who and I don”t really
care. I think it is sad if someone feels the need to post with multiple names, wonder they remember who they are supposed to be. Matt caught one out earlier today, and
AYERIGHT seems suspicious, but I would just ignore him/her.

Bad mistake…..A man who wears Pink Shirts should not try to go
dwon the bullying path.
you know, it took me ages to work out who or what pinkie was, just never noticed, really
no, i saw what he said on an interview this morning and i was a bit worried because he seemed to be implying he could pull strings, that he had a bit of push in certain places, and i don’t like that, i don’t like people who threaten with hidden ‘muscle’ power which is what he seemed to be implying, made me think of certain govmint strings he thinks he’s got, which he may well have.

Hopefully that awful 3arguidos site will go the same way as the Mirror Forum. Whatever has happened these parents are to be pitied.

Gandolf has made known on several occasions he is a Celtic supporter. Sledgehammer was a Rangers fan.

Read the Article, similar to the PT News item I posted, seems like we will know in two
weeks, I think if they try to charge the McCanns with negligence, they will have a hard
job getting them to Portugal.
Couldn”t resist copying this reply to that article, sounds like something you would
post,………..sorry.!!!

If so, how did they swing the clean time?
from circa 6.30/7 to a quarter to nine is enough time. they are doctors, probably lots of experience in scrubbing up and working to a tight schedule i would think. just like any good housewife can do a good clean in a fraction of the time any novice cleaner could. but, really, it is only what i think.
May 2nd, 2008 at 11:05 pm
She was congratulating Rangers. AKA The Forces of Darkness. So I presumed Gandalf had said he supported them. And as Sledgehammer had pretended to be a Rangers fan and hadn’t been posting lately…..I just wondered if they were one and the same

What is the meaning of occultation?
M and A
it stems from the word ‘occult’ which means ‘hidden’

I noticed you asked about the translation and yes nothing wrong with that I agree.
Who were you offering congratulations to??
May 2nd, 2008 at 10:53 pm

If you look again, you will see I also asked Gandolf how to translate the article he
posted, which IS to do with the current discussion.
No harm in offering congrats is there?

No, Gandolf is not Sledgehammer or Reporter.

The thread I refer to was not started by a pro. But the person does not encourage people to complain to Leicester police.

‘ 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.’
now that bit is very interesting for on the itv interview i saw today they said quite explicitly they had not been charged and were ‘only’ witnesses, but above it states, yes witnesses but for a reason and that precise reason, which they fail to mention in the interview, on the contrary they say no charges were bought against them, that they had not been charged with a crime ,which is strictly true but considering the above, it’s an obfuscation, they were made witnesses ‘for the suspicion of involvement in the death and occultation of the body of their daughter.’

Hey Gandalf
You support the Forces of Darkness ? Were you Sledgehammer ?

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 ?
727 jo
“You can do this anonymously, we will guarantee that, all we want is Madeleine back. You can get out of this situation. Please, contact us,” he said
It is more and more shocking.Do they realise how the PJ could take this new blow?
I think they are really losing the plot
****************
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”
____
My view? Very dangerous. For a “Suspect” to try to find out what potential prosecution witnesses have said could be construed (IMHO) as a clear and very serious attempt to pervert the course of justice.
Does Clarrie have any legal training ? Or any at all ?
Their professional legal advisors should take a very serious look at this one.
*To them—-I assume that your staff are monitoring this site, and therefore in the interests of justice in its widest sense, (i.e not merely in the interests of your clients) I advise that you take action to ensure the your clients do not prejudice themselves and their position further than they, and their spokesperson, Mr Clarence Mitchell, have already done over the last year.
I try to be fair and balanced, but faced with this sort of crass, stupid, idiotic, and self desctuctive behaviour, it is difficult to remain impartial
May 2nd, 2008 at 10:48 pm
Matt,
No skull should ever go in the bin, even his! Otherwise how do you learn to draw eggmen from life?
May 2nd, 2008 at 10:47 pm
PT News
O Ministério Público (MP) e a Polícia Judiciária vão ter uma reunião decisiva para o futuro do caso do desaparecimento de Madeleine McCann dentro de duas semana

This story is a good lesson for us all:
- justice depends on money and connections
- do not believe newspapers
- there are people whose career is “lies for money”
-There are honest people who do not want to accept all that
