MADDIE WATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann, Kate McCann and Gerry McCann
NEW STRAITS TIMES: “Keep the candle lit”
Spotting our Maddy in Malaysia?
A YEAR after the abduction and murder of Nurin Jazlin Jazimin, we must take pause to observe this sad anniversary in all sympathy for her bereaved family — as indeed for that of Sharlinie Nashar, lost in similar circumstances eight months ago and not yet found.
Other children go missing.
The contrasting fates of the children in these two cases raised the most awful conundrum: would it be kinder for such families to know their child is dead, to retrieve her remains for a proper burial in a consecrated grave where they might mourn and pray for her, or to never know what became of her, the better for hope to remain? Such unthinkable dilemmas are universal; the cases of Briton Madeleine McCann last year, American Jon- Benet Ramsey in 1996, and even the Azaria Chamberlain “dingo” case in Australia 28 years ago, all strike to the same depth of anguish.
Ramsey was fond dead 8 months after she went missing. Chamberlain’s body was never found.
The press sees Madeleine McCann buying party goods in Amsterdam…

‘And may I just warn anybody on Anorak who has Velux windows - to make sure that they don’t leave them completely wide-open - because my attic looks like a fucking car-wash and the rug is so wet that I can’t even lift it.
Big job there tonight. lol’
oh drat, poor you.

Hi Karen/Sam ………… It would have been lot less low-key if it was that massive.
The Clan wouldn’t have been able to go on such a huge publicity campaign for such self-aggrandissementarianalist purposes.
And they certainly wouldn’t have been able to propagate this much propaganda!
The mooching about of the Super-Duper-Ex-Trouper Gang in Africa will - hopefully for the Clannies - uncover such horrors and child-poaching that we will be made to forget everything about the poor child that started all this and congratulate the Clan on their tenacity!
Hopefully for the Portuguese pride - some of the African Government agencies will fuck them off before they start.

You may not see it that way. I and many others do.
I’ve yet to see on this forum a reasonable explanation by anyone as to how the McCanns carried out this supposed crime.
IMO there are more pointers towards an abduction than any of the ludicrous theories on a
conspiracy.
Maybe you would like to have a go and explain how you think they carried out this crime?

‘A pointless exercise imo and much too late.’
i suspect it may be now, yes.
‘in their desperate search’
i don’t believe in their desperate search, or it is not coming across as such, i see a lot of mccann self promotion and self protection and that’s about it. unfortunately.

You do have to wonder why a further cadaver dog wasn’t brought in, for a “second opinion.” Okay it would have been expensive e.g to bring one out from America, but it would have lent weight to the arguments on one side or the other.

but no, garth, on a more serious note, i think as a parent with all that money i might’ve had dogs in again, to make sure she wasn’t dead and buried somewhere in pdl., or if she was to find her and give her a proper burial. i think i would’ve done that.

A pointless exercise imo and much too late.
Remember, the McCanns want to believe she’s alive. And who can blame them? Contrary to what anybody says on here about them searching the only way they are going to establish anything in their desperate search is to scrutinize the files and let the private investigators take up any possible leads. This costs a lot of money.

hi karen,
‘Unless all this media bollocks has been a cunning distraction while they slowly close in on an abduction ring…’
well, i’ve had weird and wonderful theories along that line too
August 21st, 2008 at 11:28 am
GARTH says …….. ‘Blimey now there’s a statement. Would you like to elaborate being as you are one of the ardent supporters of a conspiracy?
Would be of great interest………..’
…………………………………
To twats like you - I guess it would Garsehole!
However, I don’t believe in any conspiracy theories Smart-Arse.
MM could only have disappeared if Aliens from another planet came down and took her back to their own World.

‘why completely dismiss the dogs findings. You would want closure wouldnt you, ‘
yes, and it would be realistic to consider her death especially after the dogs ‘performance’ (for lack of a better word). gandolf posted a link to a pdf some time ago about a study done with a pair of german shepard dogs, also cadaver dogs, why not hire them for instance.

I don’t think they want to find her. I think they want to look like they want to find her.
Unless all this media bollocks has been a cunning distraction while they slowly close in on an abduction ring…

Thanks sam for explaining. Phew now I can go and hope I don’t get a speeding ticket.
So it’s congrats to your son Just_Me.
Bye all.

Clouseau! Jolly well said! LP have a lot to answer for when I catch u with them.
The rumours had better not be true about snuggling up with Clarrie-Sage.
I want to speak to the Diplomats from Portugal and the top cops in PDL about certain matters.
I want to know why the police bowed down to pressures from Milk Tray Men and got rid of Amaral at the point when he had made a brek-through!
The poor bastard.
May he have his day in ………..
And if any Portuguese policemen do wander through this site - Hi! X
August 21st, 2008 at 11:16 am

I am not 100% positive that M actually died in 5a.
But I am 100% positive that her remains were there for a short time. Possibly twice.

Blimey now there’s a statement. Would you like to elaborate being as you are one of the ardent supporters of a conspiracy?

Good point, if they are such innocent parents, why completely dismiss the dogs findings. You would want closure wouldnt you, its all about the money and saving their asses imo
August 21st, 2008 at 11:13 am

Shoot Just_Me you’ve made me swear
I should have left almost 15 mn ago.
Now what’s this about you becoming a mummy?
I don’t get it. And I hate that, so I’ll be very very late if you don’t tell me.
Like Julie’s said : I’m going to strangle you verrrrrrryyyy sloooooooooowwwwly

August 21st, 2008 at 11:11 am
Maybe you should have given your advice to the PJ. They may then have acted upon it.
Maybe the LP should have given those statements from Kates chums to the PJ a little earlier…what u fink Garthy

MarkHarrison has not been particularly vocal in the media about his theories - Is this because nobody will let him voice his concerns over and over?
MARK HARRISON! Please join Anorak.

Jonbenet Ramsey was found dead in the basement of her house - crap as the cops were - I don’t think it took them 8 months to find her!!!!
