Madeleine McCann: Stephanie Bysh And Ariella Encroach On Praia Da Luz
MADDIE WATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann, Kate McCann and Gerry McCann
STEPHANIE Bysh is mother to Ariella d’Gama, who has passed a while in a children’s home.
What has it got to do with Madeleine McCann. Well, get this:
DAILY MAIL: “British mother whose daughter was taken into care by Portuguese police after she ‘went out drinking’”
A British man told police that her mother Stephanie Bysh, 44, had been ‘drinking heavily’… The town is five miles from Praia da Luz, where missing toddler Madeleine McCann disappeared in May last year from a rented apartment.
Yes, just five miles.
Yesterday, it was all just 15 miles from where our Maddie went missing.
The day before that it was all occuring 25 miles from Praia da Luz.
Anorak estimates that inside week, little Ariella will be actually inside the apartment used by the McCanns that fateful trip…
Such are the facts…

Have a look at an earlier post where Artemis whoosh clunked a post of Gailens because she said it was and a waste of bandwidth and didn’t contribute anything to the topic.
Funny, your post fits those criteria exactly. So why I wonder wasn’t your post pulled also? Biased moderation - who would have thought!
Stig out…

R, again, I have never once suggested that the killers or abusers of children are not most often relatives or acquaintances–statistically, it is the overwhelming likelihood. Examples are far too common. Doesn’t mean it’s always the case. Doesn’t overrule assumed innocence. Doesn’t outweigh burden of proof. Doesn’t mean that other possibilities shouldn’t be pursued. Doesn’t negate the well considered opinions of witnesses, investigators, prosecutors, judges, juries, etc.
When you find anymore cases of abducted, abused, and murdered children who brought it on themselves, please do let me know.

Sam! Yes I did- but when I saw that we have lost another poster it made it even better!
MODS and ADMIN! Please will you give Professor Pam a break and start a new thread for child abductions because she is taking over the M thread - and I can see that some kind Souls on here are trying their damnedest to help her - but she is seriously wasting their time.
Some people on here are so resourceful and kind - and then there’s Professor Pam and the CuckooClam - who swears that she scrolls past my posts because they aren’t worth the band-width - my arse! lol
By the way has CuckooClam been back to say that the site’s crap with people like me on it recently?
I only ask because I genuinely do scroll past hers if she appears. The titles of her books make me scared to be in the house alone!

EXCLUSIVE Mirror’s Fiona on why she quit GMTV
As I write this I actually feel physically sick.
My decision to leave GMTV after 12 years on the sofa is the hardest I have ever had to make - like jumping off a cliff and hoping someone will save me halfway down.
And yet hoping they won’t.
So right now I’m somewhere between the top of the cliff and the ground, feeling bilious about cutting my ties with the job I love, yet knowing I’ve got to move on.
In the four weeks I’ve been away from the Mirror over the summer, and probably for at least a year before that, I’ve been weighing up the benefits of having a job most people would kill for against the negative effects it has on me and my family.
Twelve years ago when I first sat on the sofa alongside Eamonn Holmes I was a single girl just back from America, after completing over two years as GMTV’s LA correspondent.
Being given the top job, even though it meant rising at 4am five days a week, was like a dream come true.
Over the years I’ve interviewed three Prime Ministers - John Major, Tony Blair and Gordon Brown - and four Tory leaders.
I’ve announced wars, election results and Diana’s death to the nation.
I’ve seen The Spice Girls become Spice mums and enjoyed exclusive chats with Victoria Beckham and David.
I’ve chatted to countless people, all who have made an impact on me
but none more than so-called ordinary folk like Kate and Gerry McCann,
Helen New love, whose husband Garry was kicked to death by thugs, and Sara Payne who continues to campaign for Sarah’s law following the murder of her beautiful daughter.
There are too many names to mention, but they are all firmly etched in my mind. And so much has happened to me personally in the 12 years that I’ve been perched on the sofa.
I’ve got married, had two children, nursed my mum through a long and tortuous battle with Alzheimer’s disease and juggled several jobs and a ton of guilt, along with running the house.
Now my dad is ill, and I have finally discovered that I can’t have it all.
Even though I scaled back my commitment to GMTV to three and four-day weeks a while ago, I’ve got to the point where I feel like I’m “dropping balls” all over the place.
I rise at 4am and never go to bed before 11pm having usually not sat down, or eaten properly, in between. No one is standing over me with a whip and forcing me to work, but my parents brought me up with a strict work ethic and consequently I try and give 100 per cent to everything: to being a good mum, a good daughter, a good wife, a good professional.
And you know what? It is not possible to be that person and still live life to the full.
I’ve got a lovely husband, beautiful children, a nice house, but I’m too tired to enjoy it all so what’s the point?
It was while I was away in Scotland over the summer with my family, feeling carefree, laughing and joking with my husband - a rarity when I’m working - that he said: “It’s lovely to see you relaxed and happy for a change”.
And it was lovely being relaxed and happy for a change.
Not rushing around like a mad woman, never having time for proper conversations with anyone, dreading the phone ringing at night because I’m too tired to talk, not having a social life, hoping the children won’t want me to kick a ball around when I get home because I’m constantly knackered
Those are the things that make life full and enjoyable. Yet they were all enough to tip me over the edge.
I love my job. I worked hard for years to get it, I’m lucky to have it, but in the scheme of things it means nothing when life feels as though it’s passing by and I’m not on the journey. The children ask every night: “Are you working tomorrow?” If I say yes they groan, if I say no they shout “Yay!” and deal out high-fives all round.
They love my on-air partner Ben Shephard - as do I - but they can’t understand why I’d rather go in and chat to him than be with them.
“Why do you have to go and sit on that sofa and just talk to other people when you could be taking us to school?” they ask. They’re right.
And then there’s my husband who increasingly says: “You’re so busy with the children, your parents, your work, I’m just like the lodger around here.
There’s no time for me.”
Which normally leads to an argument about him not understanding how much I have to do.
So instead of ditching the children, the parents, or him, it’s the job that had to go.
Yes, I’m a fool, I know. But to celebrate the end of a relationship, as girls do, the hair had to go too.
On Wednesday the Mirror’s celebrity hairstylist Andrew Barton lopped all my long locks off.
Free at last! Obviously chucking a brilliant salary away along with the hair might seem pretty reckless.
It does to me too. And I’m scared - we’ve still got to pay the mortgage. But I know it’s the right decision.
Since the news came out, the phone hasn’t stopped ringing, and people have been so supportive.
And I’ll still work. I’m looking forward to new television and radio opportunities and, of course, I’ll still write for the Mirror.
I never wanted the day to come when I would have to go to bed before my children, and now it won’t.
I’ll miss the viewers, my lovely colleagues, and the people I meet on a daily basis on the GMTV sofa, but I won’t miss feeling shattered all the time.
Getting up at 7am instead of 4am will completely change my life, and me, for the better.
Being given the top job was a dream come true.. but now it’s time to move on
I’ve got a lovely husband, beautiful kids, a nice house.. but life feels like it’s passing me by

“I repeat–abductors try to avoid such places, completely. They want isolation, few people, no witnesses….”
That would explain this then:

noonga
A semi-racist Aussie term stemming from Western Australia, predominantly Perth, as slang for ‘idiot’ or ‘fool’ satirical of the local Aboriginal Noonga tribe of Perth.
You were only semi-racist that post. You’re getting the idea.

“I assure you both terms are very much frowned upon these days, they are considered racist terms.”
I don’t do political correctness. ‘black fella’ was often used with endearment, and I know that for a fact, having personally witnessed Noongas referring to their compatriots using the term, in the same vein as ‘you old bastard’. I said abos had negative connotations.

I am not “in shame” whatever that means to you.
I am laughing at your defense of the indefensible!
Got to run, though, Pam, or Pamela!
You just can’t believe that the victims you site knew their killer, had some connection to them. Believe me, it is true in almost every case. Is it true in Madeleine McCann’s case? That is the question we work on here. More or less….

the real stig, is what true ? i’m still laughing over cocos post
August 31st, 2008 at 12:42 am
Pam
I am suggesting that kidnappers/killers sometimes engage in wishful thinking. They want to believe that their victims followed them voluntarily.
Now, if the victim knows the k/k, they just might do that.
But the k/k probably feels better about his crime if he believes that his victim came to him voluntarily, so he invents a little story.
Just like some folks make up stories about children being kidnapped by Arab millionaires for sex slavery, spending their lives being treated like princesses in castles in Morocco, etc. makes them feel a bit better about what they did or did not do.
In the case of Jessica Lunsford, the obvious poverty of the parents and grandparents, and even the neighbor-killer, stands out in contrast to the McCann case. do these people know each other? Is selection totally random?
there are sex rings, alright. Parents are very often involved in them. This is not always true. But it is something cops don’t usually look into. And it could take years to ferret it out. But again, the Lunsfords lived in a fairly isolated area. Even a pedophile KNOWN to the family does not want to do his/her deeds in places where they can be easily seen, identified, caught in the act….
Snatch a child from a crowded resort? it’s unlikely, just on the face of it.
August 31st, 2008 at 12:42 am
Yes, I’ve seen the house. It IS off a main road, as are most homes in neighborhoods–as this one clearly is. Again, its name is Wolf Lodge. The preschool Duncan was stalking as a second choice is, of course, slightly less isolated, as are the locations where he snatched his various other victims. I have never said that the Groenes a.) were doctors, b.) lived in an apartment, or c.) vacationed in Portugal.
I’d dash too. In shame.

I tried to provide clarification on the other two instances mentioned but it looks like the post was too factual for someone.
I have been experiencing very strange ‘technical difficulties’ with the site in the last hour or so, not hard to guess the source.

steve t, clarence said similar, that the parents presence would not have necessarly hindered a predator.
