Shannon Matthews Teddy Bear Related To Madeleine McCann Cuddle Cat
KAREN Matthews - Kate McCann wannabe - is the subject of a TV documentary.
And you need to watch the show because Sky tells us:
The jailed mother of Shannon Matthews is convinced by her own lies, a documentary will suggest tonight.
Convinced. Suggest. Two words that don’t sit comfortably together. But what of the news that the woman serving an eight year sentence for kidnap, false imprisonment and perverting the course of justice thinks she is innocent?
Readers may suppose that this is why we have a judicial system – to deal with people who don’t believe what they have done constitutes a crime. Perhaps one day kidnapping your child will not be a crime. But until then…
In a programme screened tonight, neighbour Julie Bushby says she asked Karen Matthews why she did it during a prison visit. “And she just glared at me actually and then says ‘I didn’t do it’,” she said.
This seems like progress. Kidnapping your child is a crime – although Karen Matthews says she played no part in it.
The neighbour continues:
“She’s adamant she’s totally innocent, absolutely adamant. But I think she’s lied to herself that much that I think she convinced herself. But it was worth a try.”
The show is called Tears, Lies and Videotape, and viewers can tune in to watch “psychologists and body language experts suggest there were clues Matthews was lying”.
Why did no one think to call the therapists when Shannon was missing?
They identify tiny movements in her shoulder during her TV appeals and the tendency for her mouth to upturn into a smile as clear signs.
Send the women down.
Did she cross her arms right over left or left over right? The Therapist Code forbids us from revealing what this tic mans but if you fold right over left it might be best to avoid being around children and goats and to pop along to a secure unit or police station immediately.
Professor David Canter said the way Matthews clutched Shannon’s teddy bear during press conferences was fake.
Indeed. That David Canter, Director of The Centre for Investigative Psychology at the University of Liverpool. The David Canter who is on the tabloids’ speed dial. Pausing from talking about Madeleine McCann, Canter opines:
“She doesn’t know quite what to do with it. It’s totally different from the way Kate McCann carried the teddy everywhere with her as some sort of reassurance of her daughter.”
Why didn’t they ask the teddy?
Viewers are invited to watch the show and take notes. Then, when the next child goes missing they can observe the parents and make crucial observation on the comments sections of websites…
Observations such as:
They did it!
Lying bastards!
They’re innocent!
Scum!
It was aliens!
And many more…

You’re right, and a typical example might be all the bigots on that other site perchance?

I fully agree that some of them are like that. Not all of them though.

I saw the good doctors on GMTV and found the whole thing disturbing- Fern having to look horror struck and concerned for so long, reminded me of a ‘constipated rhinoceros’.. tho’ one would have to ask an expert body zoologist about this.
Doctor Kate did alarm me in one segment when she butted in on Gers’ flow towards the end- a cruel smile seemed to be momentarily play..Some could argue it was a ’stress smile’..who knows- again the services of an expert are required. I know its been said before, but why not take one of these new brain imaging ‘lie detector’ tests…If I were them I honestly would, if honestly innocent.
Most alarmingly there was another family present whose daughter went missing in Germany 27 years ago-they also had their daughter technologically aged- not once did the camera give us a close-up of this girls’ age enhanced photograph..instead the camera would pan towards Kate and Ger even as this family were telling their story..I wonder if they feel used by the McC media machine or are just grateful for any chance to find their missing child?

It’s not an exact science, obviously, but it is interesting. And I’ve had a bit of basic training in “non-verbal communication”. My curiosity was started by reading some of Desmond Morris’s books as a teenager. I told my partner that a couple, who I’d only met once, would split up. She told me not to be so ridiculous. Sadly, I was right. One example of many I could bore you with, but won’t. (Hooray!)
May 18th, 2009 at 11:03 pm
Sue, if your question is addressed to me….. my take on things, is that I believe Amaral, who was there, and who saw so many things we couldn’t possibly ever know about. Who was able to get a proper impression of the couple, and their friends, when they were off camera.
Noone would wish a parent to lose a child as punishment for leaving that child unattended, of course not. But one would want them to tell the truth.
Whatever theory you believe in, the fact is that Madeleine is no longer with her family, so, obviously, Kate would appear devastated, and it doesn’t prove that any theory is correct.

Wasn’t it one of those psychologist/profiler types that encouraged the police to go after Colin Stagg in the Rachel Nikell case?

The arms crossed thing is interesting. Surely right on top of left is natural for most, left over right feels uncomfortable. Therefore, the latter might be the one where one might conclude the whole truth is not being told? My theory is that these gestures don’t always indicate guilt or lying, but maybe a sign of just being uncomfortable eg when you’re saying something you think people won’t believe? (Even though it’s true)

“all the times he was in a bar in Portugal smoking and having a laugh with mates? when he should have been professionally searching for poor Madeleine”
It just shows that some people choose to believe some things they read and then jump on their high horse when they read something they don’t want to believe.

I have just discovered I do mine left over right and I am right handed. My wife is upstairs packing and she has called the police
May 18th, 2009 at 10:05 pm
C&C… yes, that’s why I said “for most”. Although saying that, I’m right handed but apparently use the wrong hand for my fork (right one) as does my daughter. I can’t imagine why it would be the other way round for the majority of the population as it feels perfectly natural for me. But there you go.
May 18th, 2009 at 9:13 pm
Dr Eggman… or maybe the difference between left handed and right handed? I cross mine left over right because I’m left handed!

I suppose you believe every negative thing you read about Sr. Amaral and think K and G have done nothing wrong. I’ll bet you’re one of the “We’ve all done it”, “Haven’t they suffered enough?” brigade.
May 18th, 2009 at 8:46 pm
What is your take on the whole thing ? I too wouldn’t leave my children as they did - but it’s a high price to pay isn’t it?
May 18th, 2009 at 8:41 pm
Sue, I was just wondering why you should imagine I have a petty little life? Where are the clues for that? I always thought that the type of people with petty little lives were those who spelled devastation, as devestation.
You see, looking at the facts (dogs indicating scents, only Kate’s finger prints on the window, kate leaving her baby twins sleeping unprotected in a room with an open window where she claims an abductor has just taken her 3 year old baby etc, etc, etc) is exactly what I do do. You should try it sometime, you may be very surprised.
Also, what makes someone “heartless” because they want to see the Mc Cs on TV? surely they want people to see them, that’s why they are there.
As for mistakes… well I do make the occasional spelling mistake……but, no, I have never left my children with anyone other than their grandparents, or in school/ballet classes for even one tiny moment, and would never even consider it. As for leaving them sleeping totally alone in an unfamiliar place….. don’t make me smirk.

Strange
I thought they were in a restaurant awaiting their evening meal over a bottle of wine.
What ‘bars’ are talking about - its very misleading………

I think you will wait long enough for any evidence to back up the abduction theory -
it remains a theory which in my humble opinion lacks credibility.
May 18th, 2009 at 6:35 pm
Sue
Think the McC’s were in bars drinking and eating with their mates when MM disappeared….
May 18th, 2009 at 6:17 pm
The fact is that Madeleine is missing and whatever it takes Gerry and Kate will do their best to find her - maybe then we can judge them but in the meantime they want Madeleine found. I too would have a smirk on my face if I was sueing him - all the times he was in a bar in Portugal smoking and having a laugh with mates? when he should have been professionally searching for poor Madeleine - Madeleine may well have died in the flat and then taken away - surely the McCanns wouldn’t keep the publicity up if they had anything to do with it? The only mistake they made was leaving her and the twins alone.
May 18th, 2009 at 4:04 pm
I still smile at the way Karen Matthews was portrayed (here and there) as a saint, a real mother, someone who loved her children and wasn’t in it for the money; the epitome of what a genuine greiving mother should look like. ‘This is real grief……’ came up over and over again. ‘Not like the McCanns and their fake crocodile tears…..’
Tee Hee. Showed how crap they were at judging body language!

Yes I saw This Morning and if you were able to watch it - you would have seen the devestation on Kates face so why don’t yoy get a life and look at the facts behind poor Madeleine ? How could you be so heartless? have you made any mistakes in your petty little life?
Yeah but did you see the smirk on gerry’s face when talking about suing amaral? Also Sue, could you do me a favour and fill me in on the facts? I’m particuarly interested in the abduction theory

anyone see the McC on Morning TV today? I missed it and would love to know what they said

I’ve never been convinced by Kate carrying around Cuddle-cat, if it was genuine she wouldn’t have washed it. But then it could’ve been a genuine publicity stunt… they are True Media Believers (who needs cops when you’ve got Oprah?).
And if Kate snogged Katie Price in a nightclub - or Gerry bunked up with Peter - just think how much faster MM would be found…

Abduction and now incest…and who was it that said the Mccanns were running out of money?
