Madeleine McCann: No Portugal Return, Maddy TV And Paris Hilton
MADDIE WATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann
It’s the Mirror’s “MADELEINE EXCLUSIVE”. The news is – as Anorak reported last night – that the Tapas Seven (surely the Sangria 7? –Ed) will not be returning to Portugal to take part in a reconstruction of the night Madeleine went missing.
A source says: “They were asked informally to return, then asked again in an official letter last week. After some consideration they decided not to go back. They were concerned it would not be televised, and were bemused as to why it was happening so long after Madeleine disappeared.”
And who would play Madeleine? Her? Her? What about “Look Into My Eyes”, a TV talent show search for a Madeleine fronted by Trevor McDonald and GMTV?
Remember Kelsey: “Mummy, I could play Madeleine. I look just like her’”?
THE SUN: “No re-run for Maddie cops”
What does Lorraine Kelly think? It was she who said:
How could someone put their infant child forward as a Madeleine lookalike with the idea of making money? The child obviously has to be around the same age as Madeleine.
Is a Madeleine needed? After all, she is missing…
Unless it was to specifically aid the campaign, how could they all live with themselves for making money out of the tragic disappearance of a little girl?
It makes you recoil to think a lookalike agency would have a Madeleine on their books alongside someone who looks like Jack Nicholson or Paris Hilton.
Disgusting! To think that Maddy should be with the likes of Jack the lads or Hilton makes our flesh turn cold. It’s nothing less than sick.
DAILY MAIL: “Madeleine reconstruction scrapped after ’suspicious’ McCanns refuse to return to Portugal to take part”
The Mail has the details: The McCanns are “both doctors.”
Says a Source: “They also question why it was not to be televised and why police just want the nine and not other holidaymakers and staff to take part.”
GLASGOW DAILY RECORD: Says Clarence Mitchell:
“The friends had a number of serious questions about the value of the reconstruction and what it would do to help find Madeleine. After some discussion, they have informed the Portuguese authorities they do not intend to go back.
“Gerry and Kate have not refused to go back. They were aware of their friends’ view and they are now not needed for the reconstruction. There were a number of serious questions. For instance, why did they want to hold a reconstruction more than a year after the event?
“Why was the reconstruction not to be televised? That would have generated new leads and information but if it is not televised, how on earth is that going to help find Madeleine? Why did they only want the nine people back? Why didn’t they ask all the other holidaymakers back?
“Frankly, the police and the authorities in Portugal did not answer the simple question: what will this do to help find Madeleine?”
Do the police have to televise their police work to make it valid?
Madeleine McCann TV: are you sitting comfortably?

Is Clarence being dishonest when he implies that “all” of the Tapas7
have declined to attend for a Reconstruction ?
Have all declined….or have one or more accepted the invitation ?
We should be told.

Jo your post has been removed. Your appeared to paraphrase a news article and provided a link which was not in English and we have no way of verifying the source.

I have read your “points”…from the …the smothering Theory…the sedating by chloroform theory…etc etc.
All very confused and unconvincing.

The good reason is because the PJ wish to do proper Police Investigations
as per Portuguese rules and regulations.

No bikes being ridden here.
Try reading them again and then put them in their proper context. You may then understand my point!
May 28th, 2008 at 9:30 am
Agenda Wide 44- Could be them because they are not as guilty of child neglect as it was reported that they were the only one’s of the group that used a baby monitor!!!
May 28th, 2008 at 9:28 am
Morning all
Is it known yet which of the 3 friends agreed to participate in the reconstruction?
Perhaps the Payne/ Webster family?

Oh dear, you seem to be riding two sets of dual bicycles these days.
First you say the Reconstruction won’t help…and in the next breath you
say…A Crimewatch type reconstruction will “call their bluff”.
Then you say that…the PJ probably think the McCann’s are innocent..and
in the next breath you say “the PJ will probably force them back to Portugal
and charge them”.

Just had a thought, maybe they can’t get babysitters for the return to PDL

Crimewatch TV is not part of the Investigation….for good reasons…which is
why such a request by Crimewatch was refused last year.

What good reasons?
May 28th, 2008 at 9:23 am
garth 29 - how do you know that “a reconstruction will do nothing other than satisfy the PJ (maybe) that the movements of that night are clear”.
What if there were a chance that a reconstruction would help?
What harm could it do to the investigation and getting justice for Madeleine, to take part in a reconstruction?
Would other family and friends of missing children act in this way?
Who are the T7 to decide that the reconstruction will not be beneficial?
Do the T7 know what is in the PJ files in this case and can therefore come to this conclusion?

Yes
It was part of the investigation but not the most important part.
One can look at it as una “trampa” and they”ve just fallen in it
What a bunch of fools,this is out of this world,honestly.
Now if you have any time at all,look up at the Jon Benets case and find out the similarities between the 2 cases,ok?
It is the only case the mccanns have not found any similarities with…….and there are a lot of them
What fools jajajajaja… I just cant come around to believe it

I’ll tell you what i think jo……….. i believe the PJ probably have realised that the McCanns are probably innocent. Amarals initial enquiry has been left to others to try and pick up the pieces of a hash job.
I personally believe that the PJ’s request for a reconstruction was to serve no other purpose other than to satisfy themselves that they got it wrong. Then charges would then probably have been dropped.
Of course the PJ may have all this so-called evidence which surely must mean that the PJ’s next move will be to force the McCanns back and then charge them.
I think you will find that this just wont happen. And the reasons are obvious.

Crimewatch TV is not part of the Investigation….for good reasons…which is
why such a request by Crimewatch was refused last year.
Clarence has said, several times, that the Mccann’s made that request, but it
now seems that in a more recent statement by him…that this was not so.
He said that “Reportedly, Crimewatch requested this type of reconstruction l
ast year and the PJ declined”

Launching a media campaign in a renewed bid to find Madeleine, Gerry McCann said: “Any parent will understand we will do anything to get that child back. We will go to the ends of the earth.”
Kate added: “We’re Madeleine’s parents; if we’re not there for her, who is?”
(Daily Record May 1 2008)
=======
……… ‘we will go to the ends of the earth’ …… ‘that child’ ?? !!!!
Not Portugal then?
Yeah right Kate. But you wern’t there for her were you? Or Sean, when they were crying? Or at that moment…….?

Sorry. Someone did post something from a Portuguese source mentioning a list of offences that the police were looking at. It’s annoying me now! I’ll have to go back over yesterday’s posts!
Oh, I see. You have confidential info? Of course you can’t give that out. I understand.

If the reports (Brunt and earlier ones) are correct, the PJ didn’t need the recon anyway, did they? He says it was a “request not a demand” so they perhaps have all the evidence already? I remember a police spokesman (Ribeiro???? can’t remember) also saying a few weeks ago that it wasn’t necessary but that, if it went ahead, the Mcs would need to be there.

Yep, I think it speaks volumes, not wanting to cooperate with police requests that may tie up a few loose ends as far as getting justice for Madeleine
—————–
In your eyes maybe. But the McCanns know they are innocent and so do their friends.
Lets be honest here, a reconstruction will do nothing other than satisfy the PJ (maybe) that the movements of that night are clear. But then they have the times of thei movements etc so how would a reenactment benefit anyone? They could do it themselves.
The PJ have been dithering for too long imo. Either charge them or drop the case.

This is NOT the way things are made in portugal.
This is a portuguese investigation and portugal has the right to do their work and do it are they are used to….but you see,all the recons jobby was a con…..
NOW,the PJ will act,reconstruction or not.
In fact,not the PJ but the prosecutor
So…who do you think the PJ suspects more: K or G?who of the “perfect” ones? one more than the other or BOTH?
M.&Mrs Benet number 2 ….

adjusting their focus to a great dgree.

Why dont they call the McCanns bluff and agree to a televised reconstruction?
Afterall, it cant do any harm…………. can it?
