International Madeleine McCann: And Eye For Denise Pipitone And Finding Rose Pizem
MADDIE WATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann, Kate McCann and Gerry McCann
DAILY TELEGRAPH: “Italy’s Madeleine McCann ‘found safe and well after four years’”
Italy has it’s own Maddie. Like Isreal? Are we working throught alphabet? If so, look out Jamaica…
Urgent DNA tests are being carried out on the eight year old girl found in Greece to see if she is Denise Pipitone, who vanished in 2004. She missing from outside her grandmother’s house while playing.
And?
News of the discovery will bring fresh hope to Gerry and Kate McCann after their daughter disappeared in Portugal last year, and for the parents of Ben Needham who vanished in 1991 from the same Greek island, Kos, where the Italian girl was found.
Like Our Maddie?
The DNA tests were ordered after Denise’s mother Piera, shown photographs of the girl found in Greece, said the “shape of the eyes was exactly that” of her daughter.
DAILY MIRROR: “DNA tests on ‘Italian Madeleine’”
Madeleine McCann has been missing since last May. A spokesman for her parents said: “If this is Denise then it will give Kate and Gerry immense strength and hope that Madeleine will be found.”
TIMES: “Missing girl Denise Pipitone ‘found begging’ after four-year search”
Greek police traced the Roma woman, 34, who was charged with abducting a minor. One police official said that the girl had the same birthmark under her left eye as Denise, and only spoke Italian. She is being kept under observation in the island’s hospital. The case is as well known in Italy as that of Madeleine McCann. Denise’s mother, Piera Maggio, has made repeated appeals on television for help in finding her.
Italians know of their own missing child as well as they do of Our Maddie?
DAILY MAIL: “Girl dubbed Italy’s Madeleine McCann ‘found alive and well’ four years after she vanished”
Denise’s mother Piera, who said the birthmark and the shape of the eyes were ‘exactly the same’ as her daughter’s. She added that there had been numerous false alarms in the past, so she would not allow herself to get her hopes up.
But the media can get your hopes up for you…
Last night the McCanns’ family spokesman Clarence Mitchell said: ‘If these reports are true it is fantastic news for her family. But it would also give hope to Kate and Gerry because this is exactly the sort of situation that could prove that a child can go missing and be found safe and well.’
If…
THE SCOTSMAN: “Remains may be missing girl”
ISRAELI divers yesterday found a suitcase containing remains police believe belong to a missing girl whose grandfather is being held on suspicion of killing her.
The discovery in Tel Aviv’s Yarkon River marked a breakthrough in the case of four-year old Rose Pizem – missing since May. Her disappearance has transfixed Israel.
HA-ARETZ (Israel): “Until the next tragedy”
Faced with a suspect with a devilish face, an exciting and unusual family story, searches in the river - the Yarkon has never before raised such interest - and a murder without a body, we absolutely wallowed in this story. Oh, how we loved hearing the sexologist talk about the couple’s therapy the two lovers received, grandfather and mother forever. How we wanted to peek further and further into the “Israeli Madeleine McCann” family, which suddenly appeared in our lives; we invaded it with a mixture of voyeurism, gossip and a pinch, just a pinch, of real concern for the missing girl’s fate. Someone will make a film about it.
GREAT YARMOUTH MERCURY: “Visit church in cyberspace”
At 900 years old, a global opening ceremony for Great Yarmouth’s magnificent parish church might seem somewhat belated…
But in cyber world virtual people called avatars are teleporting into St Nicholas’ for a zoom around the vestry or even a stroll on the roof.
For the landmark building has been transported lock stock and wonky weather cock into the 3D virtual reality world of Second Life and now ranks among hundreds of real buildings turned into cartoon locations on the booming internet enterprise where 10m people from all over the world mingle.
Second Life…
Playboy has its own bunny-shaped island and British police have posted missing Madeleine McCann posters on virtual buildings.
Have you seen Madeleine McCann?

dazed and confused, i found a times article referring to the counsellor,
‘They will also have been encouraged to keep a diary of their positive thoughts, to reinforce this mindset. “It is easy to focus just on the negatives when you have been through a trauma,” says Tasker. “You realise how easily it can happen to you. Up until then you have taken the world for granted; suddenly it becomes a dangerous place, when in fact it is no different from how it was before. But every day lots of positive things do happen, yet we tend not to see them.” A diary is a way of harnessing those things as a concrete reminder.’

Marav - not even a little clue? You got me muito curious!

The dogs are far from being discredited, the simple fact is that humans, who tested the alleged findings or alertings of the dogs, deemed them unable to be corroborated.
That is hardly the fault of the dogs.

I liked the bit
For years, no one questioned Miss Head’s story. Welles Crowther’s mother Alison, who met her several times, said: “I felt it was too private and painful to her to ask questions.”

Just as Posh and Becks are recognised as the celebrity couple to whom all other celebrity couples, past, present and future, must br compared - “the Posh and Becks of their day”, “the new Posh and Becks” etc - maybe Madeleine is the missing kid of all time.
Why is the Italian missing girl not already world famous in her own right anyway? No fund ot PR - if not why not? I think we all know really. I know little about language development but surely a child abducted aged 4 and taken to another country would be speaking in a new tongue aged 8.
If M is by some miricle still alive and well what are the chances that she is still asking for Mummy, Daddy, the twins and Cuddlecat in English?

How long can a whole Nation, including it’s Politicians, be deceived ?
1 year ?
2 years ?
3 years ?
More ?

A lot of people are trying to discredit the dogs!

yes rasputin, it’s been discussed, it’s called overshooting, it’s not scenting what isn’t there or hasn’t been there, it’s missing a scent.

Isn’t it called fallible, as opposed to infallible.

“Really what should’ve happened based on their training, is the dogs should have been able to seek the body out due to the decompositional odor,” said Metro Police Sgt. Pat Postiglione. “In this case, they were not able to do it.”

I have read it now.
Its amazing how shes obsessed with the twins sleep !
Is she over protesting again as in the family and friends who came over were noticing that the kids never ever went down at 8pm , and she need to explain it or was it something else?

My theory is that, if the child is dead, I don’t think the body is in PDL. I don’t think the mother would have left Portugal knowing that she would probably never ever again be able to “visit” the place where her child is. IMO, it would have been transported back to the UK, by sea, with the help of influencial people.

Odor sensor could help find decomposing bodies
Oak Ridge lab’s detector may retire cadaver dogs
By KATE HOWARD • Staff Writer • August 24, 2008
Buzz up! Cadaver dogs searched for more than two days but could not find the body of a young woman who disappeared in 2000 while jogging in a Nashville park.
A day later, a searcher spotted the body in a place the highly trained dogs had been. With the August heat wearing on the 24-year-old’s body for three days, it was already too badly decomposed to determine a cause of death.
It’s a problem that occasionally punctuates the search for a missing person: search dogs refuse to work or miss the scent they came for, leading to thousands of wasted dollars and manpower. And with the clock ticking to find the woman, Metro officers may have lost their chance to prove whether it was a medical problem or murder.
“Really what should’ve happened based on their training, is the dogs should have been able to seek the body out due to the decompositional odor,” said Metro Police Sgt. Pat Postiglione. “In this case, they were not able to do it.”
But new technology in development 150 miles from Nashville could refine the process and serve as an electronic nose when a canine’s doesn’t do the job. Researchers at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory are a few months away from completing a prototype that can detect the unique combination of chemicals the human body emits as it breaks down after death.

very interesting indeed, and even odder that the humans with the dogs missed the body too.
An even odder thought is that all too frequently bodies are found by people out walking —-their dogs who actually find the remains
September 12th, 2008 at 12:07 pm
I have a terrible theory but I don’t dare to tell it here.
If I am right, Maddy’s body will never be found.
And I am no talking about sharks.

Thanks BF for your kind words - rudeness from some was expected. Much easier than debating the topic being discussed! I wonder why Garth calls himself “we”?
The extract was a quote from an Antena3 article on McCannfiles, with the title “Kate McCann was obsessed with getting her children to sleep” 11 September 2008
I thought I’d read this before - weren’t some extracts from the diary printed in a UK tabloid (possibly the Sun)? The Antena3 articles mentions the diary which it says KM started writing on the advice of PhilM and a psychiatrist, therefore must have been started some time after 3 May 07.
I agree with Peter Mac about the style, compared with KM’s interviews.
