Madeleine McCann: With Columnist Peter McKay
MADDIE WATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann, Kate McCann and Gerry McCann
THE COLUMNISTS
PETER McKAY (Mail):
MOST sightings of missing Madeleine McCann seem to involve Belgium and a paedophile ‘ring’ which might have kidnapped the child ‘to order’. Belgian police received more than 100 sightings, 30 of which required checking.
Do they?
But the latest - by British businessman Trevor Francis, 64 - was on the Venezuelan island of Margarita. Nursing home owner Francis, who keeps a yacht there, says a girl he thinks was ‘Madeleine’ came into a restaurant with three women - all of Latin origin - and had the telltale blemish in her right eye.
He did.
In one sighting, the girl involved said she was ‘Maddie’ and had been taken from her mother. Yet the McCanns say Madeleine was never known as ‘Maddie’ to them. It’s an abbreviation devised by newspapers so the name will fit headlines.

Funny: I had read that Kate, angry because she’s be excluded from the group, went jogging in the hot sun. Guess where she went? On the beach in front of the Paraiso. The word “ostentatious” comes to mind …

Why is Diane blacked out ?

I think the journo who put this picture up and added to name-tags, didn’t have a pic of her nor was he/she aware that Dianne wasn’t there that day …

I would ask: which ones in the photo are in keeping with a thirtysomething-couples-with-little-kiddies-type holiday and which ones are the “spare parts.” ?

Afternoon, all, have we solved the mystery of the Tapas 7 Paraiso photo yet? Just who is that mystery person to Russell O’Brien’s left? Surely they are a material witness, how come their name has not been mentioned in dispatches?
