Madeleine McCann: Frozen Terror, This Is A Bedroom, Lying Police And A Song
MADDIE WATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann, Kate McCann and Gerry McCann…
THE SUN (front page) “MADDIE’S BED”
“First photo of room…”
But we’ve seen the room before, last November.
“…hours after abduction”.
Oh.
Pages 4-5: “TERROR FROZEN IN PICS”
Terror turns out to look like an empty bedroom.
Know that “by grim coincidence” “Maddies’s passport “expired yesterday”
Such are the facts.
“INSIDE FLAT WHERE MADDIE VANISHED”
Poof! Has anyone looked inside the wardrobe for a white witch and a lion?
BLOODY DISGRACE:
“SHOCKING bungles by the Portuguese cops probing the disappearance of Madeleine McCann were finally exposed yesterday — by their OWN files.”
Those foreign swine.
The sensational police dossier — released a fortnight after clueless cops gave up the 15-month hunt for the youngster — revealed how a top Brit forensic expert told investigators in the Algarve there was NO DNA evidence against the McCanns.
Gawd bless us:
At the time anguished Kate and Gerry were the target of callous police “leaks” — including that their daughter’s blood was found in their holiday apartment and hire car. Samples had been sent to the Birmingham-based Forensic Science Service, yesterday’s files confirmed.
Yes:
But the police dossier also revealed that John Lowe, of the FSS major incidents team, declared it was impossible to conclude the material was even blood — let alone whether it came from Madeleine.
But a child was missing. The DNA is not all of the case.
Detectives went on to lie to Gerry that his daughter’s DNA had DEFINITELY been found in the family’s hire car — despite it having been rented long after three-year-old Maddie vanished from the family’s holiday flat in the resort of Praia da Luz.
Police…tell…lies….to….try….to…force….confession… WOW!
DAILY STAR (front page): “MADDIE – First pics inside her holiday bedroom”.
Psst! Wanna see the bedroom where a little was sleeping before she disappeared.
Who needs Maddie tourists. Just buy a paper.
DAILY MIRROR (front page): “MADDY –What police asked Kate in 11-hour grilling”
You say Maddie, I say Maddy,
They say Katie, I say Gerry,
Maddy, Maddie,
Big Ears, Noddy.
Let’s call the whole thing off…
Pages 10-11: “WHY WERE THEY EVER SUSPECTS?”
Well, maybe because when a child goes missing, police often look to those closest to that child?
The Mirror puiblishes two pictures of the McCann room, with evidence labelled “MADDY’S BED”, “TWIN’S COT”, “BEDROOM” and “SHUTTERS”.
Other labels might include: DUVET, FLOOR, CELIING, WALL and AIR.
DAILY MAIL (front page): “REVEALED – The bed Maddie spent her last night in, the 48 police questions Kate refused to answer…and the one she did”
Pages 4-5: “Police laid DNA trap for Gerry”
Pages 6-7: “The room where she met her fate”
Is it? Did she meet her fate in the room? Say who? And what was her fate? What crime was committed?
On the face of it, they depict mundane scenes - the clutter of the family dining table; the cramped bedroom shared by the three children; and the patio doors which would have kept the flat cool in the Portuguese summer. In one photo Madeleine’s favourite toy Cuddle Cat - which her mother has since carried with her constantly as a reminder of her daughter - appears to be on the bed where she was sleeping.
Facts.
It is easy to imagine the excited chatter and children’s laughter that filled the room as the McCanns put their children to bed every night until the fateful evening of May 3, 2007.
Facts.
DAILY EXPRESS (front page): “MADELEINE – Police lied to parents over ‘clues’ in car boot”
The Express, a bastion of truth, right and clear thinking deals with the facts!
“Police ‘misled’ Gerry claiming they had found Madeleine’s DNA in boot of car’”
Tsk! Duping people. For shame! Good job the Express is hear to deal with the facts.
“The agonising moments when Gerry McCann first realised his three-year-old daughter was missing were laid bare last night”
We’re watching the parents. Look how upset they are. Just look…

Something else I think I want to point out since there’s a lot of people angry with the portuguese police.
The portuguese people as a whole are good people. I lived among the portuguese people when my dad was stationed on the portuguese island of Teceira for several years. There were good people as well as bad, that happens no matter where you live. But I did notice something that is why I have always defended the McCann’s instead of believing all the suspicions that were thrown at the McCann’s. Majority of portuguese men feel they are superior to women. Which is why when they went after Kate first and majority of the suspicions were pointed at Kate, I felt something wasn’t right with the police investigation.
Those of you lumping all the portuguese people in with the PJ’s need to remember that all the portuguese people aren’t the same. Some probably feel the same way we do about their police.

Has anyone realized that up until the police report was released all of the newspapers allowed individuals to post their views on the case, but all of a sudden, none of them are doing that anymore? This wasy the only location I found that is allowing views on the Madeleine case to be posted.
And I find it really ironic that all of a sudden people are supporting the McCann family when a few weeks ago there were more people against them and calling for them to be locked up and the key thrown away.
All the PJ’s who worked on Madeleine’s case needs to be fired and investigated for allegedly neglecting their duty. They allegedly appeared to be more interested in blackmailing a confession from Maddy’s parents than they were finding the child.

Lazy [in my opinion] lying [in my opinion] Portugese police . What do you expect from a bunch of third world macho misoginists [sic]
I hope they find Maddy safe and well with some childless german couple
and the Mccanns and the \Briritish police can mock the Portugese amatuers [sic] till the end of time
Don’t take your kids to Portugal or any othe Latino country [in my opinion] they are all a bunch of perverted wankers with a third world democracy and justice sytem

It would also mean Insp Amaral was bamboozled and that his frozen body theory is shaky to say the least…

Not necessarily. Where did this story of GM bringing a freezer from the rented villa to the dumb come from?

Afternoon Everyone
A couple of items I just read on sky News.
1. Martin Brunt going over the abduction theory says that no way could an abductor
use the window, too heavy for starters and would an abductor think to close the
shutter after him/her?
2. CM being interviewed by Eammon Holmes today. CM saying no comment until
Lawyers had searched through all the files, Eammon “Why the Lawyers and not
the Investigators” “The Fund must be nearly depleted by now with all the Legal
Fees” CM,” I have no authority regarding the Fund, as you know the Daily Express
money went straight into the Fund and I believe it now stands at about £400,000.
Of course the Investigators Fees are expensive”
Nice to see someone asking the right questions. CM said only weeks ago that Metodo
3 were only being paid a retainer, and the New U.K. investigators have only just
been appointed.
There is a report by SOSMaddie which I tried to post yesterday but was Moderated.
It is obviously “leaked” but seems authentic because the 48 questions are quoted
verbatim. It also gives the times all the Tapas7 were being interviewed, names of
Witnesses etc, worth a read. Mrs Fenn is on the list and her evidence will be important
I think.

And unless you stop using blonde as a term of abuse you will find arrows protruding from your anatomy in areas which will render it impossible for you to sit down.

They are Paul McCartney and George Harrison (40 years ago) - anyone can see that, especially those of us who were there 40 years ago. No question in my opinion!! Are we sure there was not a Beatles tribute band in P de L that week? lol

Oh, and Garth to further pop holes in your “not wanting to be an idiot/numpty” idea ….. the last check was supposedly made at 9:30 p.m. by their buddy …. so if Kate was so damn sure that she had been abducted when she walked in the room ….. WHY DID THEY THEN WAIT ANOTHER 40 MINUTES????? 40 + 30 = 70 minutes had then elapsed from the time that she COULD have been abducted - that’s IF the buddy actually saw her which, he admitted that he hadn’t! That’s over an hour just to make sure that you don’t look like an idiot!! (Sorreeee - abductor - nope!!)
AND NO I’M NOT BLONDE!!

‘by the time she had arrived at the point where she spotted this abductor she turned her head around and noticed that G&J had crossed the road.’
Well, you would, wouldn’t you?
Bloody abductors are two a penny, much more interesting to scope out a media person who might have contacts and know people and get her on the telly…

‘Because they looked for her first just to be sure. ‘
But you said Kate was sure that Madeleine had been abducted from the very first moment.
By the way, how’s your alternative theory coming along?

Hats off to Gordon for not allowing the game to be played at that disgusting level.
