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…

Brian May when interviewed by the Police regarding his uncanny resemblance
to Ms J Tanner’s hallucination in PDL, provided them with a watertight alibi.
He quoted that he was stargazing that night with Sir Alfred Patrick Caldwell
-Moore, (CBE, HonFRS, FRAS), at the well known Broadcaster and Amateur Astronomer’s home.
Mr Moore qualified Mr May’s alibi and the Police have now accepted that
the “lead” provided by Margaret Hall earlier was unreliable.

Didn’t Ruud Gullitt just mysteriously quit as LA Galaxy coach?

My favourite drawings are the ones where the lady has long blonde hair and a boney face and the other one that has a dark-haired bloke with a pinched-looking face.
They look a lot like M’s parents to me.

The Real Stig. You’ve got a point. lol
Love the part of Brian that’s still readily admitting he was influenced by Cliff Richard! What a guy.
August 20th, 2008 at 10:46 am
I just love how similar the two pictures are. There really is no0 mistaking that the two are one of the same. I mean, you’d have to be blind not to see the similarities. It’s incredible that the cher/rusty hybrid stalker man carried around with him a personal hairdresser and clothes stylist and used their services just before somehow abducting madeleine. Very clever.

Nah, It’s Brian for certain. Like the rest of us, he isn’t as young as he used to be:

The Real Stig ……. Not pretty enough to be Brian. Lone’s got it right. Cher/Rusty hybrid.
August 20th, 2008 at 10:36 am
Love the eyeliner, dude.
Ruby and Millie, right?
August 20th, 2008 at 10:35 am
Lone! If only we could turn back time! If we could find a way! But as Amaral probably says, ‘Words are like weapons they wound sometimes.’
August 20th, 2008 at 10:34 am
If I was Brian May, I think I would go into hiding right about now.

Petermac - actually, provided you are familiar with the languages and you have acquired an ear for it, it is quite easy to differentiate between English no’s and let’s say ‘no’ pronounced by Portuguese/Spanish/Italian/French people (btw, no in Portugues is nao).
ciao!

LOL!
August 20th, 2008 at 10:27 am
well yes a cher/rusty hybrid
August 20th, 2008 at 10:26 am
Lone! Cher????? Not Rusty Lee then?
August 20th, 2008 at 10:23 am
I think the picture looks like cher - with a perm

The Daily Mirror…
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.”
This is getting very silly indeed. Even the Mirror should be able to ask a couple of questions before printing this rubbish.
How do you say “No” in English ? The Spanish for “No” is… “No”. The Portuguese is …”No”.
And why can he not be English with dark skin. Is Sir Trevor MacDonald not English ?
And how do you ‘look Portuguese’ as opposed to Spanish, Italian, Greek, or all purpose Mediterranean.
Or do we think that the tabloids are perhaps letting this rubbish through deliberately to cast scorn and derision on the whole Madeleine industry ?
But one has to hand it to the artist. A person looking like that will undoubtedly be picked up within the day.

Nice to have an early morning swim.
But to be asked to do it over 10 kilometres is a bit unnerving.
