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.

Help - I said I would never come on here again - but it is compulsive - has anyone seen the cctv footage of the kid at the Belgian Bank? I am probably repeating something that you have all been discussing tonight - but it seems that the tapes are being sent to the US for enhancement. I was a strange situation, a very English looking kid with a woman with veils on - ?

‘there might be an adult wearing a light or white coloured top behind the person labelled as jane tanner.’
but looking at it again, that could be the table cloth/table corner. probably is in fact..

the one that is pointed out as Webster….itsa man….
no, i think that’s a woman, it,she, has very red cheek, like rouge, but half of the face is missing. i also think david payne could be gerry mccan, but i’m mad, plus i think there might be an adult wearing a light or white coloured top behind the person labelled as jane tanner.

August 12th, 2008 at 12:33 am
does anybody else think that the news of the world has presented us with vital evidence, not everyone will see it bujt its a case of reading between the lines? What normal father would make a timeline just after his daughter has gone missing, except to cover his own ass?

Did AZ and you come close to the 10th ?
****
Ask AZ. I have this “other life” and not enough time to do research other than my professional one …
However, do think there might be this nr.10, which is much younger than we thought him to be…
Off we go to the classical silken sheets. Have to be coherent tomorrow morning
Good night, again [last time]

With all this information, i fail to see how everyone cannot have their suspicions of the mccs. When, if ever, is the info going to come out about the majorca 2? Will bevery interesting to see how they are going to spin that one!

WTF
The social worker who came when Mrs Fenn made a complaint about madeleine crying.
Recognised a tappas member for being on their list, got kate furious, and was/is an expat working for MW and made a statement which backed up the majorca2s allegations that they reported the tappas members weird gesticulations on the majorca trip 2 years previously.
August 12th, 2008 at 12:19 am
evening wtf, think she is the woman from social services or something like that who was with them in the first week or so and who kate did not get on with.
