Madeleine McCann: A New eFit, Selling Books And A Rapist’s Cover Story
MADDIE WATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann, Kate McCann and Gerry McCann
DAILY MIRROR: “Madeleine McCann: Nanny’s new sketch echoes picture of kidnapper”
That’s the picture on the left. For wont of name, we’ll call him Cool.
This is the shadowy figure seen lurking in the bushes outside the flat from where Madeleine McCann vanished. And the woman who confronted the straggly-haired stranger eight months before is convinced he is the same man family friend Jane Tanner spotted carrying a child in pyjamas the night Maddy disappeared.
The man Jane Tanner says she saw is also on the left, for comparison purposes. They could be twins.
Despite telling police, British nanny Margaret Hall was not asked to help with an artist’s impression. Now, thanks to the Daily Mirror, a sketch of his face can be seen for the first time.
The Daily Mirror is on the case. It’s track record is im-pecc-able.
Margaret Hall added: “My description of the man is very similar to that of Jane Tanner’s. He had long hair but it was quite scruffy and straggly looking. He had said ‘no’ in English but he was not English because of his skin colouring. He looked more Portuguese than anything.”
DORSET ECHO: “Rapist gets 13 year sentence”
A FORMER Burger King manager has been sentenced to 13 years in prison after being found guilty of raping a girl and 16 counts of sexual assault over a period of seven years. Ehmad Alguet, 44, of Esmonde Way in Canford Heath, Poole, was found guilty by a majority verdict of 10 to two on each of the 17 counts by the jury at Bournemouth Crown Court yesterday.
And:
He also told the court he had looked at illegal porn sites because he was trying to trace missing toddler Madeleine McCann.
THE GUARDIAN: “Edinburgh festival: When comedians attack - What is the most jaw-dropping example of audience harassment by a comic that you’ve come across?”
Capurro’s show this year is basically a big can of carbonated outrage, shaken vigorously and hurled into the crowd, with jokes about Madeleine McCann, paedophilia and Islam all present and correct.
The Guardian loves Capurro, the try-very-hard comic.
BBC: “Born Yesterday writer at festival”
An author who wrote last summer’s news as a novel and another who went in search of a sporting superstar will appear at the Inverness Book Festival. Gordon Burn covered the Blair-Brown prime ministerial handover, Glasgow Airport attack and the search for Madeline McCann in Born Yesterday.
Madeleine McCann: That’s entertainment…

It wouldn’t be culturally in order to portray him/her as a smartly dressed
Professional Type…like a Lawyer, or even a Doctor or Doctoress.
August 20th, 2008 at 1:21 pm
Maybe these new alleged 24 photos are over-rated and we’ll be in for a big disappointment?
August 20th, 2008 at 1:20 pm
Why does a suspect person have always to look like a monster?
Unwashed, dirty, not shaved?
Who knows the person(s) responsible for Madeleine’s fate look(s)
attractive, clean, washed and civilized?

Coco,
Well, yes, I’m a Scorpio too … but don’t need pills yet!

From the Daily Mirror
“After hearing nothing from the police in the UK, she went straight to Metodo 3, the private investigators working for Kate and Gerry.”
Thank goodness she’s had the presence of mind to notify the Daily Mirror so that we can all see this new sketch.
No wonder the fund has given up with M3 when they didn’t even have the presence of mind to produce a sketch of the man. It seems they are just about as clueless about how to do an investigation as the PJ.

Yes….when Madeleine was discovered missing and the time of the alleged
sighting of the eggman would be the only two very important timelines
prior to the arrival of the Police.
The rest could have waited until the Police requested them at an interview.

Matt can I have a hug ???
August 20th, 2008 at 1:15 pm
Matt.
See! It’s made thoroughly decent well-adjusted like ourselves become cynical about the Establishment, doctors, holiday-makers and even the public in general! ……. And then there are those certain posters on here that I get cynical about as well!

BabyJane! Exactly! It’s a quandary and a conundrum wrapped up in sea-weed and served with stewed bollocks.
I had that in thailand once - it was delicious

If you sight Madeleine McCann….please follow the customary procedeures..
A…Be absolutely sure, in your own opinion, that it is the missing child.
B..Leave your camera in your handbag/pocket and do not take a picture.
C..Do not alert anyone in the area nor challenge the swarthy, unkempt
foreign looking man and/or his scraggy looking girfriend.
D…Watch them leave and get into a car.
E…Wave them goodbye.
F…Return home and forget about ever seeing your absolute certainty.
G..Think retrospectively about either the Reward money or what a Tabloid
newspaper may offer for your absolutely positive sighting.
H…Call M3 some months later and elaborate a lot upon your sighting.
I…Contact a Tabloid newspaper and have them pay for another short
holiday break to the scene of your sighting.
J…Allow them to take photographs of you in the customary posture for
a “sighter”, which is standing in the middle of nowhere…and with a
single arm outstretched…pointing with one finger….to somewhere in
the far distance.
August 20th, 2008 at 1:07 pm
Can’t wait to find out more about the new photographs. I don’t think that the Clan were expecting this after so long.
I know that they have been desperate since the beginning for people to forward their snaps to themselves rather than th PJ - but they weren’t expecting this! I can feel it.

Matt. Says:
Why was it noted that JT “sees” abductor at such and such a time ?
Odd that…..
I would have written “JT saw abductor at such and such a time”.
Very strange going on indeed. IMO
————
Exactly, the information concerning the sighting of the abductor would have been the ONLY important one. Everything else (who checked whom and when etc.) is not important when somebody actually saw the abductor.
August 20th, 2008 at 1:06 pm
Do you think “Cool” whose picture is above, tried to make himself pass for an Englishman by saying “no”? How cheeky of him. And how ridiculous. How could he pretend to be English, him!!! And I’d like to know why he said “no” to Margaret.
August 20th, 2008 at 1:02 pm
DAISY! An astute shrewd woman like yourself must have spotted my Scorpionicness! lol! It’s the fact that I have Mercury in Gemini that makes me a tad mad and schizy-cocky though! lol
Apologies to any Geminis - but …………….

Matt,
It is all just so weired!! I still can’t get the gut feeling out of me that this is much more than the disappearance of a little child … pre-planned ahead of time … but this is just my personal opinion.
August 20th, 2008 at 12:49 pm
Daisy Says:
August 20th, 2008 at 12:42 pm
Perhaps.
Maybe more information will be revealed regarding it.
My suspicion is that the notes were written prior to the “alarm”.
Time will tell…..I hope.
August 20th, 2008 at 12:44 pm
Thanks, Artemis!
August 20th, 2008 at 12:42 pm
Matt,
Why were they apparently written on pages of kids books, considering that as reported earlier by a poster, there seem to have been a notepad on a table in the apartment?
Where they somewhere else (with the kids) when these were written and no notepad was available, wherever they might have been?
August 20th, 2008 at 12:39 pm
G’day All,
M & A,
How do I upload a little picture to place next to my name? It looks very colourful in here now! Thanks.
Willo,
… Peru? … a bit further South … Chile!
Coco,
A Scorpio???? OMG .. would have never guessed!

Daisy, if you go to the Anorak Forums you will see a thread titled Gravatars which has the information.

Why should handwritten notes x 2 of timelines be handwritten prior to the
Police being called ?
Shouldn’t they have been out searching for their child instead of doing that at
that very important time ?
After all, Dr G P himself lectures us that “The first few minutes are of utmost
importance in such cases”.
Why was it noted that JT “sees” abductor at such and such a time ?
Odd that…..
I would have written “JT saw abductor at such and such a time”.

Regrettably not.
Colin Firth’s, I mean.
However, moving briskly on…
August 20th, 2008 at 12:18 pm
I mean the one he was in with Ted Danson in the 80s ?
August 20th, 2008 at 12:18 pm
Chenier, do you have (ahem) first hand knowledge of his bollox?
(envy speaking….)

‘Bollocks!’
of course, Meercat.
