Madeleine McCann: Glamour Models, Grabbing Little Boys And Genette Tate
MADDIE WATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann, Kate McCann and Gerry McCann
DAILY MIRROR: “Britons try to snatch Madeleine lookalike”
They tried to snatch her because she looked like our Maddy? The reward is still on offer, right?
Two British tourists tried to take a small fair-haired child from a beach, thinking it was Madeleine McCann, it emerged yesterday.
Protecting the little kiddies from nutters and oddballs…
Convinced it was the girl who disappeared in Portugal last year, they kept a careful eye on the pair and even took some secret photos.
Taking pictures of kids on the beach. Yes, a good idea…
When the woman’s back was turned, they grabbed the child’s arm only to find it was not Madeleine but the son of a Croatian footballer. Leone Drpic is two-and-ahalf and has long blond hair like Madeleine, but there the similarity ends. His dad Dino, 27, plays for Dinamo Zagreb and Croatia and his mum Nives is a glamour model.
Any pictures, for publicity purposes?
Nives said yesterday: “I started getting suspicious when the British woman approached Leone and started chatting with him. Suddenly she grabbed him by the arm, apparently thinking nobody was watching him. However, when I went over she realised her mistake and apologised.”
Grab a kid – any kid – and if caught says “oops! Thought it was our Maddy”.
DAILY MAIL: “British couple tried to ‘rescue’ Maddy lookalike… from a Croatian football star and his model wife”
Dino Drpic, who is a defender for Dinamo Zagreb and has several international caps, and his wife Nives are the Posh and Becks of Croatia. Their son Leone has long blond hair like Madeleine’s, but the similarity ends there - he is even six months younger than the missing three-year-old.
Three. Not four.
DAILY MAIL: “Notorious childkiller won’t be charged as longest-running missing persons case reaches 30th anniversary”
It’s child killer Robert Black:
A spokesman for Devon and Cornwall police said: ‘Following the submission of a file to the Crown Prosecution Service, Devon and Cornwall Police has been informed that there is insufficient evidence to justify the institution of criminal proceedings against the individual arrested by the force in connection with the disappearance of Genette Tate.
‘”The force is aware that the 30th anniversary is approaching and would ask anyone with further information concerning this unsolved crime to contact us.”
And Madeleine McCann is connected how?
Genette’s father, John Tate, has prostate cancer and on Monday said his dying wish would be to find the body of his “little girl”. He told the Western Morning News what happened to his family is similar to the case of missing Madeleine McCann. The 66-year-old said: “I have nothing but total sympathy and empathy for the McCanns. What has happened to Maddie is very similar to what happened to ourselves.
“I hope Maddie is found alive and well and reunited with her family. I would have loved nothing more than that for myself with Genette. But, of course, her mum Sheila and myself have known for many years that Genette was murdered.”
Such are the facts…

morning all

JUST SO!
I always find the charts reveal more than we would wish to know! lol
But I’m a Scorpio with Virgo Moon and Virgo Rising - so I can’t help delving in that wee bit more than I should.
Pisces rules Portugal and the obvious! - And I was particularly interested in the Trine at Pisces!
Poor mite had a non-starter there really. God Bless her!
August 20th, 2008 at 8:38 am
Just so - I read your star sign thingy. It was very interesting and I enjoyed it. I am a Pisces born in March and I (I put fly in here but crash is a better word) in the face of all the kindly astrological auspices of my birth. I am lousy at all sport, especially swimming and I am not interested in sport at all, except when we’re thrashing the Aussies, which is rare I do admit. However it’s a personal thing.
Gandolf, I love you. I may have mentioned it.

“Hear hear!
What actually happened is that in early May 2007 a little girl went missing from an apartment in PdL, Portugal, whilst her parents were out, with several friends. Drinking. With a very “loose” childminding rota in place.
The apartment was unlit, unlocked, un over- looked,.
the little girl was with her sister and brother who are twins.
Her parents are doctors.
she has never been seen since………….”
We even have to modify that sentence, though, to “A little girl was REPORTED missing…the apartment was SAID by the parents to have been unlocked…” And so on.

Attention of the resident fukwits…………….there is no evidence…………..have a nice really shit day………..TTFN.
………………………………………………………
THIS IS A PRIME EXAMPLE OF A COMPLETE FUCKWIT!
Not to be confused with the Half-Wits and Dim-wits!
He is far and away the most complete specimen of his type and as you can see - not had much in the way of an education! LOL
Try to avoid him as he likes the attention on him - rather like the Cuckoo Clam - so just ignore him.

Thanks for your supportive comment!
Someone has actually done a full astrological chart for Madeleine McCann. It’s at
http://www.astrotheme.fr/en/portraits/2Ddy4Kgk6D94.htm
I notice that Gerry is a Gemini. They appear to be good at Weightlifting - so no problem there about lifting heavy sports bags

Saul! Does one know something from the foreign Press that I have not clicked about yet?
I am so hoping that in all this libelly-type-of-thingy that somebody gets so cross that one of the sets of police say that they have absolutely had enough and jump up and down and get everything into Court - so that all is revealed in its nudity!
August 20th, 2008 at 7:32 am
BabyJane - thanks, you too
Am off for my morning dose of exercise now (olympic coverage
)
someone please give me a shout when Duncan pops by.

More or less major than loosing their eldest child?
August 20th, 2008 at 7:23 am
Nosey, I was referring to a major bollock being dropped by the Clan.
August 20th, 2008 at 7:23 am
BabyJane - very weird to you and I but possibly not so weird in mcclanland
Over the years I’ve given away/sold/dumped loads of baby and kids stuff as the children grow out of it, but the one thing I struggle to clear out is their books.
How could I consider clearing out ‘guess how much I love you’ ‘Noisy farm’ and ‘the very hungrey cataplillar’ and many others that they used to demand over and over and over….
