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.

“Well, guess what - the Report is out that dastardly couple had no charges brought and their arguido status lifted and police could find no evidence to link them to the disappearance of their child.”

Perhaps - there is a resemblance there - I was thinking about the 12 yr old - and there benefactor with his apparent bottomless pit of money !!
what 12 year old ? i’m lost now, no idea what you mean.
August 11th, 2008 at 5:00 pm
surely leaving your 3 babies with a 12 year old would seem alot better than on their own.
Why would they lie to cover up ?

Cheryl
If it looks like a little girl, walks like a little girl and talks like a little girl, then it’s a little girl either in or outside a Belgian Bank.
More than that we cannot say.
_____________
I know more than that one cannot say nor know on here - that is up to the authorities to sort it all out.
However, over the past many months on here ,it has been as if one was on a farm listening to the barn yard animals - non-stop cackling like hens laying their eggs, roosters crowing struting around the pen, that just wait and see when the PJ release their report we will ALL know the truth about that dastardly couple and the Tapas 7 …yes we will just wait and see…it will show how stupid the non-prejudgers or those who feel the McCanns were innocent in the hands on disappearance of their child.
Well, guess what - the Report is out that dastardly couple had no charges brought and their arguido status lifted and police could find no evidence to link them to the disappearance of their child. What goes on here? Pick apart every single piece of evidence the Police already knew about and putting their own interpretation on the evidence, everyone frantically searching to find a way to still hang that couple from a tree!

From the previous thread.
…….What is that old saying, “If it looks like a duck, waddles like a duck and quacks like a duck - it is a duck?”……..
Not if it’s sighted in a Belgian bank

I was speaking of the word “hatred” Daisy got reprimanded for having the nerve to say that about people on here feeling that way!

I just have one question…..With a new sighting of Madeleine, it seems very odd that people “see” her all over. I saw Madeleine, I am sure it was her, I spoke to the child, etc etc. My queston is WHY WHY dont these people act on it. No we get well i was afraid to do anything, I reported it the NEXT day. I mean if you are so sure it is her, call the police RITE THEN!! Try to stall the person(i mean dont be stupid) Everyone has a cell phone these days!
Didnt one lady wait until she came back from a holiday to report it?
The lawyer for Casey Anthony now says Caylee and Madeleine’s cases are very similar? What did this strange guy who took Madeleine wrapped in a blanket pop over to Florida and take Caylee from the nanny?
Yes the thing that is similar is mom was the last to see them, and mom aint talkin. Strange, people are starting to see Caylee also.

and if she did it she would have gave them the wrong towel too

[...] At some point among this lot, according to the Portuguese tracker dogs, someone took M on a bizarre circular route around the apartments, down the rat run and along to the supermarket, a different route to that given by JT. [...]
*****
Don’t forget that these dogs took M’s scent from a towel Kate give to the handlers. I have difficulties to imagine that 1] she would use a separate towel for each and everyone and 2] that this towel would still be in the bathroom 5 [five] days after M’s disappearance.
So whatever the dogs had to work on, might have been well “polluted” by the scent of others…
