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…

WHAT are the chances ?
Edie and Keala, 100% record……….. then they get it wrong 8 times on 6 different occasions in several different locations.
They then go to Jersey and instantly back on track 1 alert and remains several years old are found !

‘If that is not the case then the last independent person to see Maddie was 17.30pm ish, that allows 4 1/2 hours more than enough time to mop up ?’
i would think so, especially if two people were involved as that works out as nine man hours.
***********************
Yes I see, maybe even more than two people if they acted as a team ??
You just made me think, that in all of this time nothing has been heard from Di Webbster ?? I wonder if she knows ?

What a lot of drongos there are on this site lately - taking remarks and comments seriously - even getting upset by what others say !! YOU ARE SITTING AT A COMPUTER - not in a bar!! You have not a clue if the person is or is not genuine, or even exists. Get out into the real world and pick a few arguments with real people if that is your want in life - but for gods sake use this site for what it is intended - discussions, not a vehicle for venting personal insults to someone or something who basically in your own life’s reality - does not even exist

If someone a couple of nights ago had had a shread of decency & replied to me then that would have been an end to one part. if another poster had not tried to stir things up again that too would have helped.

Some think a lot of the times have been shifted back by 24 - 48 hours meaning something tragic happened Wednesday 2nd.
If that is not the case then the last independent person to see Maddie was 17.30pm ish, that allows 4 1/2 hours more than enough time to mop up ?
GA seems to think that the body was stored in a freezer, others think the body was buried in the sand near the sea water line, there has also been mention of a long cool tunnel near the beach.
As for wandering off to Tapas as if nothing had happened “Don’t forget the guy has his breakfast and then cuts people up”

WTF - Congratulations!
Carmen - have a lovely holiday, Sicily sounds real good
Lone - nice to hear of the new addition to the family, Brilliant matey !
Yep! some fantastic posters on here really interesting. I really appreciate the mods too they do an excellent job. All very tolerant patient and entertaining !
Sounds like a small misunderstanding going on to me, probably caused by the spam filter, shame because it usually functions so well.
Cheers GF - all going well and come Dec 8th, hopefully, we’ll have a baby pigeon to feed
