Madeleine McCann: The Fear Of Maddie
MADDIE WATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann, Kate McCann and Gerry McCann
WESTON & SOMERSET MERCURY: “Four-year-old snatched from outside home”
In Portugal?
A FOUR-YEAR-OLD Weston girl was told all her family members were dead by a group of boys who snatched her from outside her home. Now her mum, Tracey, has told of her horror after realising her daughter had gone missing.
Says Tracey, who has walked home ahead of her children (Jess and her six-year-old sister), who are following behind:
“I ran back inside to put some shoes on when I spotted two lads who looked about nine or ten. At this point I was so horrified that someone had taken my daughter I just screamed at them to tell me where she was but they both pointed in different directions.
“All I kept thinking about was what happened to Jamie Bulger or Madeleine McCann.”
What occurred?
Jess said the boys had taken her hand, led her towards the underpass and tried to lift her over an embankment to cross the dual carriageway with them.
Jess is four…
Tracey said: “Luckily Jess was good enough to say she was not allowed to cross without me. She told me the boys had said they were her new friends because all her family were dead and she would never see her mum again.”
Not nice boys…
“I would be mortified if I had not highlighted the problem and then it happened to another child.”
What happened to another child?

Lock your door - get a babysitter…
Advice not given to the world by Kate and Gerry - children’s crusaders…
I wonder why????

Maybe they should get K9 in - he’d solve the case.

Re Eddie (I haven’t followed the Jersey event) it could very well have been a false positive, even laboratory diagnostic tests sometimes return false positive results and I am sure Gerry as a cardiologist does not feel lab test to be unreliable because of a low rate of false pos or false neg results?
ciao to all and have a very nice day!

Whoa! forget that last bit. there is no way I am being paid to take notes. OK? You just carry on. I will just check in now and again. No, really, just carry on. Please

g’night stig.
September 12th, 2008 at 12:22 am
the real stig, ah. well i don’t know. when was the concrete put down, could digging it out have happened before. etc etc. we don’t know if eddie smellt the decades old coconut skull, what we do know is he signalled there and nothing was found apart from that. it’s a depressing thought that if madeleine were to be found dead it would be difficult to prove who harmed/killed her and the longer the more difficult the task would be.

I have been having a good look at a few sites that contain a lot of photos of the investigation and searches the PJ undertook the following day/s.
Eye opening stuff. I was astonished by just how many tracker dogs they brought in. This is partly why I think the hidden body scenario is so unlikely, I just can’t see it not being found unless it was hidden high up somewhere the dogs couldn’t go.
If I have a bit of time, I might do a dog collage pic to show just what I mean, but not tonight.
Good night - Stig out….

This bit:
“His murder inquiry began when Eddie, an “enhanced victim recovery dog”, began barking in the cellar of Haut de la Garenne – the sign, according to its handler, that he had detected the scent of human remains.
By coincidence, the dog, from South Yorkshire Police, is the same animal that supposedly picked up “the scent of death” in the apartment where Madeleine McCann was last seen in Praia de Luz in Portugal.
According to Mr Harper, Eddie smelled the decades-old skull fragment through “several inches” of concrete, which police then smashed through. Eddie had the same reaction at another six locations at Haut de la Garenne but nothing was ever found.
“I don’t believe a dog can pick up such a scent through a layer of concrete,” said Mike Swindells, a former Lancashire officer who wrote the standard sniffer dog training manual.
“It’s really very unlikely.” ”
And of course it wasn’t a fragment of skull either.

Evening, Brandon et al.
Spent much time trying to read in to what’s been happening/revealed recently.
Sorry that I cannot stay
It’s 00:51 here and a busy day again tomorrow.
So: good night
September 11th, 2008 at 11:59 pm
the real stig ,it doesn’t say much about the dog there at all. such a sad case though, so many people came to harm there, i don’t think it’s all fabricated, though i’m sure some would like it to be so.
September 11th, 2008 at 11:56 pm
A:The times are not clear. The only thing that is sure is that the McCanns contacted the National Guard at 22.40.

Really last post..
Re mass hysteria, I just don’t know if that was/is going on. Speculating.
May be some bad things happened, may be not, may be a lot of bad things happened.
I hope police will be able to find out about it.
But over here a mass hysteria thingy seemed to have happened.
Will try to find an English link tomorrow.
Please remind me in case I forget.
Bye all.

Wilkins spontaneous statement on May 4 makes you wonder if going to the Tapas bar was why he volunteered to walk around he crying baby
September 11th, 2008 at 11:33 pm
totje, goodnight, nice talking to you too.
September 11th, 2008 at 11:32 pm
I still wonder why one of the Tapas would wake up the Wilkins, only to tell them that there was nothing they could do …
September 11th, 2008 at 11:30 pm
totje , i havent followed what happened in jersey so i do not feel confident in offering anykind of comment other than what i’ve posted and have said sofar. i dislike the term mass hysteria though when it concerns abuse, it’s a bit too convenient, though i’m sure it happens.
it is so that you can fool forensics, washing stuff down will wash away blood stains and dilute evidence to the point where forensic testing is no longer conclusive, there was never any suggestion that no evidence was found, it was, but it was worthless in the sense forensics could not establish postive links from where it came and the samples were so weak retesting could not be done. the problem wasn’t lack of evidence but that what was found was miniscule and presumably rendered useless though dilution, ie cleaning.
