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…

JUST_ME! You are also very WICKED and very clever! Have had to save this - with my bottle of Cadaverine!
You keep me sane. I wish Anorak was like this all the time!
By the way - where was Rusty Lee when this mop-hair guy was seen?

M and A
Mmmmmmm….!
And “hotel room”? Just a general term for where one sleeps on holiday, maybe? Well, it wasn’t a tent, was it?
Yes, maybe you’re right. Quite an accurate report, really. I take it all back. I’ll happily use Fox news as a safe source of info from now on.
…..but……but…..there is this bit as well..
“Madeleine sightings have been reported worldwide since the parents of the missing girl, Gerry and Kate McCann, set up a massive campaign to bring her home safely. Earlier this month, CCTV footage in Belgium captured a girl resembling Madeleine walking with a woman in a veil.”
———————–
“Veil”? I recall it as a scarf, no? But then, “veil” sounds more …anti-arab?….anti-nun?
But then, as the song says…”Any smear will do!”
Sorry M and A. You did a good job trying to defend Fox but I think I’ll have to stick to the Mirror as my safe source of info, after all!!
M and A
ha ha Maria, now that is funny! But only rely on mirror hanging on the wall….

In my crystal ball I can see GG on-stage at a big gig pretty soon with rave reviews.
However - my crystal ball will not let me see M playing happily with her siblings in a garden in Rothley.

Noseycow, in fact Mr Glitter is one of the few people with a rock solid alibi for 3rd May 07.
What shall we call this new geezer? My suggestion - “Mercury Man.”

Surely somebody looking like that would have abducted Cuddle Cat instead.

August 20th, 2008 at 9:46 am
Although I suppose this new chappie could be Freddie Mercury circa 1976, or even a very young Richie Blackmore.
Is this the real life?
Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide
No escape from reality

Looks like we are in the process of putting together a McCann Fantasy Supergroup
Marc Bolan (lead vocals, rhythm guitar) George Harrison (backing vocals, lead guitar), who shall we have on keyboard, bass and drums?
And come to think of it, the Tanner picture at the top is not unlike Feargal Sharkey.
August 20th, 2008 at 9:40 am

Tell me that Mrs D is being waited on hand and foot by Mr C in a loveley French Chateaux and I’ll happily read about Duncan & Carmens escapade.

I’ve just been reading this:
“Writing on their campaign website Mr McCann said: “Of course whoever is responsible for Madeleine’s abduction must, and can be, found to prevent them from putting another child and family through the misery we have suffered.”
He says “them” rather than “him” just as Kate is supposed to have said “they’ve taken her”.
But since none of the sketches produced look anything like one another. Maybe it was them.
It reminds me of a news item from the Two Ronnies
“Latest on the bullion robbery: At Wansforth Police Station, a man who’s as deaf as a post, and doesn’t speak english, with a terrible stutter, bad breath and squeaky shoes, is not helping the police with their inquiries one little bit.”

I thought the Fox news channel had it right with their headline this morning “McCann Mania Sweeps Europe”.
Then I read the last paragraph in their report……
“Madeleine vanished on May 3, 2007 from a hotel room in Praia da Luz, Portugal, while on vacation with her family. Her parents had been dining at a restaurant across the street at the time of her disappearance.”
!!!!????!!!!
Well, I suppose you can’t really blame the journo for those slight inaccuracies. After all, not much has been written about this case and it’s not as though any police files were accessible, or anything.
Mand A
Well it was across a road round a swimming pool etc etc look on a PDL map, he’s not wrong
