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…

Hi y’all. Hope I do not upset anyone this time. Mods scared me off after the last comment but I’m back and hoping to keep within the parameters of acceptability. Just a thought but if those photos do exist that were talked about in the sunday newspapers. Wouldn’t it be interesting if the clothes that KM changed out of were the ones that the dogs detected with the scent of death on?

And she only came up with the PINK pyjamas AFTER having been ‘helped along’ by a cognitive psychologist or some such other title. Her original wa sthe bundleman, carrying a bundle wrapped in a blanket. No legs, no pyjamas.

“I think it’s a real shame that Jes Wilkins has not been hypnotised to see if he can remember anything more about the time that JT passed him and Gerry.
He says he doesn’t remember seeing her and he also didn’t see bundleman even though from where he was standing, he ought to have. After all, the light was good enough for JT to recognise Madeleine’s pyjamas.
Of course, this casts doubt on JT’s whole statement. Just imagine how it would shut up people who didn’t believe in the abduction if he could recall the events of that time.
Mind you, I don’t think JT has been hypnotised either. ”
But if she had been, would she then remember that the pyjama bottoms were NOT pink. The McC s told us that and showed us replicas of the WHITE bottoms with the Eeyore motif.
And she only came up with the PINK pyjamas AFTER having been ‘helped along’ by a cognitive psychologist or some such other title. Her original wa sthe bundleman, carrying a bundle wrapped in a blanket. No legs, no pyjamas.
The rest of the fantasy emerged later.

Admin
Thank you for being fair & releasing my post at 6.07.
Any takers then?? I see Totje is doing the collecting of names….
August 19th, 2008 at 6:50 pm
Hey come on. This is a forum run by Anorak… let them resolve their disagreements else we may all end up on the streets. (so to speak) Imagine having only the dark side…. aarrgghh.
August 19th, 2008 at 6:47 pm
Paul admin
It certainly is not apparent!
Why not release my 2 other posts? Give an ex mod a fighting chance??
PS Is there any chance of a “private” email from you????
August 19th, 2008 at 6:44 pm
Totje
Some of mine have not been released. Perhaps because of my hidden or wider agenda?
It obviousley doesn’t fit with the agenda of the ‘admin’
Don’t you just love censorship.
August 19th, 2008 at 6:41 pm
No they aren’t “all” permanently hold in moderation.
August 19th, 2008 at 6:37 pm
But June my other posts after that one have been let out.
It seems selective which ones are going through. Is AGW controlling what appears now? Does Paul know?
I won’t bother you any more tonight - you obviousley have your hands full.
I have had my spats with a few posters and a few mods on this site, all have which have become dim and distant memories (with the exception of the very vile and frightening interchange I had with AGW). If there is anything we can do to help get things back to normal please let us know.
Good luck
Admin - I’m putting posts in moderation to see what’s going on and ensure I read them…
August 19th, 2008 at 6:33 pm
Well no use hanging around tonight then - wont be able to get a word in ….
August 19th, 2008 at 6:31 pm
Aha so no more free speech?
No open communication?
M and A
Always free speech, we shouldn’t dream of stopping it - but some are intent on their own agenda
August 19th, 2008 at 6:29 pm
Ahem…..
August 19th, 2008 at 6:27 pm
Why is my post being permanently held in moderation?
M and A

Duncan for administrator???
Shall we start a few forums topics on the above?
———————————————–
Nosey, have told you Admin (Anorak) is holding all posts in mods
August 19th, 2008 at 6:23 pm
Why am I in moderation?
Didn’t change email, name nor IP address [fixed]. And no links included.
August 19th, 2008 at 6:21 pm
Duncan
I hope you are OK.
I don’t think anyone will contradict me if I say we all love you on Anorak.
Carmen said she was an ex-mod (we will really miss her very much, she is special), but you haven’t said so so far. You are special too. Are you still a mod on Anorak, then?
It was full moon last week-end, I think. Maybe it explains why everyone was on edge. Whatever you decide, Duncan, thank you for moderating in such a pleasant, efficient, and friendly way. I wish you the best of luck, and I hope you’ll keep us informed of how you are, you and Mrs D. Thank you again. XXX.
August 19th, 2008 at 6:20 pm
Julie it wasn’t your fault, don’t blame yourself.
===
Nosey posts are pulled, you weren’t around, I was.
So was a poster who tried to stirr things up and is/was misrepresenting/distorting what went on. She should feel ashamed of herself [doubt it though, she has no shame].
= = =
Both Carmen and Duncan have shown they are honest people, who really deserve our respect. How many signatures do I have to collect to make you change your mind about resigning?
August 19th, 2008 at 6:17 pm
Paul
What happens when agw overrides what you’ve done & no one can reply?
- AGW is an asset to this site. WE do discuss stuff - although it might not be apparent
August 19th, 2008 at 6:17 pm
Time for an exit for me too.
Good sleuthing !!!!
