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?

You are not on your own thinking it wasn’t an accident !, KM’s own Mother doesn’t.
“SUSAN HEALY: If Madeleine had an accident in Kate’s presence, Kate is a doctor for goodness sake, they were on holiday with doctors, the first thing she would have done would have been to have sought help for Madeleine, you know, it’s absolutely ridiculous to think that Kate would do anything else.”

Clouseasu! Thank God there are people like you!
Meanwhile - I am utterly and completely convinced that it was absolutely definitely Aliens from another Galaxy that chomped on M and then hung around having a joint before going back to whichever Planet and Dimension that they came from!
It’s the only thing that could possibly have happened because M could not have left via the patio doors because it was too stiff to push.
The other door was locked - and the shutter had not been lifted at the window.
Trust me on this - I’m a ………

Stig, Garth:
An assignment for you? Please chart the length of time between when one of us says we’re going and the reappearance of clouseau?
LOL
Jass, yes, sadly sober. It’s not a obsession; it is a response to insanity.
September 12th, 2008 at 8:44 pm
suggesting the children were left alone for hours at a time.
hmmm well I think a Mrs Fenn might enlighten you on that one

Jass, yes, that’s it exactly–BINGO! You’ve caught me. I’m not sure where I’ve suggested a comprehensive knowledge of the British legal system, but perhaps I am just accidentally brilliant.
…………………………………………………………………………….
You are not brilliant in any way , shape or form - either by design or accident!
In fact you are rather bloody dull and completely clueless on virtually everything you have posted.
Why don’t you learn to read other people’s posts properly!
Wind your fucking neck in and you might learn something!
Christ! No wonder Universities are going to pot!

I think we all know that parents of children who die as a result of accident do not receive custodial sentences as a rule.
***********
Ok then let’s think, in what circumstance would they get a custodial sentence ?
September 12th, 2008 at 8:42 pm
Sorry, GF…I’m sure your post overlapped the other, but there is a little provision there for the amount of latitude required in estimating time of death. I don’t recall seeing anything (well, at least not since the files were released) suggesting the children were left alone for hours at a time. I’m trying to be more delicate but still suggest that the parents wouldn’t have had to actively do much to disguise the time of death.
Again, sorry–I know the messages must have crossed.
September 12th, 2008 at 8:41 pm
Is Pam entirely sober?
Where does her obsession with embalment come from?
It is rather disturbing, to say the least.
September 12th, 2008 at 8:40 pm
whos dead with all this talk of bodies?
September 12th, 2008 at 8:37 pm
Well, fellows, that’s it then! A brief but satisfying victory for common effing sense.
Off to tutor tomorrow’s poor test taker for the last time. Ta!

GF, are you suggesting some sort of rotisserie arrangement? I don’t follow.
********************
Of course not, you have a strange imagination
You suggested a way to cheat the time of death a coroner records, I was pointing out in theory, that in order to carry this out they would have to be there but they weren’t!
September 12th, 2008 at 8:33 pm
Jass, yes, that’s it exactly–BINGO! You’ve caught me. I’m not sure where I’ve suggested a comprehensive knowledge of the British legal system, but perhaps I am just accidentally brilliant.
The point, I believe, Jass, is whether or not my CSI and Quincy, M.E. inspired knowledge of approximating time of death (which was fun, but completely moot, as it is a very imprecise science, and such estimates seem to usually be expressed as a two-hour window–giving a LOT of flexibility) was correct. If so, perhaps you’d do best to not draw further attention to it?

September 12th, 2008 at 8:26 pm
Elvera, then perhaps you’d like to suggest some better, more pleasant way of articulating the accusation that the parents killed their child–whether through murder or neglect–drained her tiny body of blood, and hid it.
I find the suggestion far more offensive than any language used to describe it, but that’s just me.
September 12th, 2008 at 8:26 pm
Is my comment still awaiting moderation?
I’ll try again..

‘Actually, I as a mother would think it to be better off for a young girl to be dead rather than to be in the hands of pedophils’
It is not. It is better to alive and survive. The human spirit is a wonderful thing.
Does that mean all the victims of child sex abuse would be better off dead?
September 12th, 2008 at 8:24 pm
Pam knows so much.
She apparently has access to the McCann photo album…she has an encyclopaedic knowledge of the British legal system….now she reveals unusual knowledge about the concealment of time of death.
Do you think Gerry lent her his No Stone Unturned book? Or maybe she lent it to him.
September 12th, 2008 at 8:24 pm
I have never been a Mccfan but as time has gone by I must admit that the cover-up/hide-a-corpse theories do seem too far-fetched to be likely. They would all have to be up to their necks in it to colude in such a risky stunt and surely one of them would have broken ranks by now.
Maybe someone who worked or was staying there took her and her tiny body just has’nt been discovered. Why all the talk of paedo rings, rich Arabs, Morocco etc?
Perhaps the truth is simpler than any of theories that have abounded and we can’t see the wood for the trees.

No, I think it takes actual incompetence in their professional capacity to seriously affect a career - in some instances not even that has an effect. Their not been present would be explained in terms of checking schedule and listening services as a comparison. In two years time, people would scarcely remember.
especially if it was greater than a 2 years.

A custodial sentence may have affected their career somewhat
September 12th, 2008 at 8:18 pm
The McCanns (and the rest of them) must have known they were dicing with danger, leaving their kids, all under four, alone every night but one of the holiday.
It’s hard to believe that three different sets of parents (and a grandmother) would all agree to leave these tiny ones alone, far from sight or hearing.
There is, of course, evidence Rachel Oldfield was “at home” on the Wednesday, May 2.
Was she in fact babysitting?
Was it only Madeleine always left alone to cry?

If Dr who’s child drowned in the pool or was run over while Dr who and pals out at a restaurant for the evening, leaving her alone….
Yes, it might not do their career/reputation much good.
September 12th, 2008 at 8:08 pm
And are accident victims routinely autopsied?
That would be a “No”.

Miss Match
So the career of a Dr who’s child accidentally drowns in a swimming pool or runs out onto a road and is run over, etc, etc - would be significantly harmed? I don’t think so.
*********************
Hmmm! if the Dr had left the child on it’s own ?
Obviously it would !

Miss Match, you’re right, so any intelligent person would have waited until they were witnessed safely home and to bed before reporting such, no?

IMO…….. any intelligent person would know, what an autopsy would reveal especially the time of death.
