Hewlett Did And Did Not See Madeleine McCann Alive
MADELEINE McCann Watch: Anorak’s at-a-glance look at Madeleine McCann in the news - Raymond Hewlett says he saw Our Maddie alive and that he, er, didn’t…
Daily Mirror: “PAEDO: I’VE NEVER SEEN MADELEINE”
The prime suspect of hired cops probing Maddie McCann’s disappearance insisted last night: “I’ve never set eyes on her.”
Dying paedophile Raymond Hewlett, 64, angrily denied claims he was twice close enough to her to notice her distinctive right eye.
He said: “I have never seen her and anyone who says anything different is wrong.”
So news that he had seen her alive is wrong?
He refuses to speak to investigators hired by the McCanns. But he was grilled at home in Aachen, Germany, by West Yorkshire police last week over the 1975 murder of schoolgirl Lesley Molseed and rape of a girl of eight in Yorkshire.
Lesley Molseed…
Ronald Castree, 54, will serve a minimum of 30 years for what the judge called “a truly dreadful crime”, adding that he accepted the killer would probably die in jail.
Lesley Molseed, from Rochdale, was abducted and killed in 1975, in a case which resulted in one of Britain’s most notorious miscarriages of justice.
Her body was found on Rishworth Moor in West Yorkshire and Stefan Kiszko, a lonely misfit, confessed to the crime under duress.
He was jailed and served 16 years before he was cleared in 1991 when it emerged that sperm samples taken from her clothes could not have been his, as he was infertile. He died the following year.
Says Raymond Hewlett:
“I volunteered to speak to police about things totally unrelated to Madeleine. They didn’t mention her once.” He denies the crimes and gave cops a DNA sample.
Now know…
“I saw Maddy before she vanished, says paedophile”
CONVICTED paedophile Raymond Hewlett has claimed he saw Madeleine McCann twice before she disappeared, it emerged yesterday.
Or, er, not…
Meanwhile…
THE former police chief who led the hunt for Madeleine McCann in Portugal plans to sue parents Kate and Gerry for defamation.
Goncalo Amaral, 49, has hired a team of lawyers to prepare an action against the two doctors.
And the cop, dropped from the inquiry in October 2007 for criticising British police, says he will also seek damages from the McCann’s spokesman Clarence Mitchell. His action comes weeks after the McCanns revealed they were suing Amaral over a book he wrote.
And on it goes…
Madeleine McCann is missing. Her parents are bereft. And the lawyers are doing pretty, pretty, pretty good…
And finally this gem from Agnès Poirier, who manages to link the murders of “two French students murdered by men who should have been in custody”, and a sense of outrage in France, with you know who…
Many Portuguese people must have felt the same way when Madeleine McCann disappeared from their idyllic seaside resort and their police were seemingly losing time in the crucial first days of the investigation. I have many Italian friends embarrassed both by the murder of British student Meredith Kercher in Perugia and much of what transpired since.
Of course, misunderstandings can take a grip and be exacerbated by cultural differences. Remember how, in the case of Madeleine McCann’s disappearance, the British press viciously attacked the Portuguese judiciary system and its representatives, often only out of sheer ignorance. The Portuguese police reacted by making the parents “official suspects“.
Yeah, it was the media’s ranting and Portuguese spite than led to the innocent McCanns being named suspects or, rather, arguidos”. So now we know…

‘Angelinia’ The priest at the Catholic church in PDL at the time is still alive and well and conducting mass in the same church and holding services for Madeleine.
He never went anywhere! he was even interviewed by the PJ.

Paedophile snubs Madeleine grilling
Final attempts by private detectives searching for Madeleine McCann to interview a convicted British paedophile about her disappearance have failed.
Retired UK policemen Dave Edgar and Arthur Cowley flew to Germany hoping to speak to Raymond Hewlett, who is said to have been staying an hour’s drive from the McCann’s Portuguese holiday flat when the little girl vanished in May 2007.
But negotiations between the private investigators and Hewlett’s German lawyer broke down.
Mr Edgar, who has been employed by Madeleine’s parents Kate and Gerry McCann to look for their daughter, said he was “very disappointed” with the lawyer’s behaviour.
He added: “I have been attempting to speak with Raymond Hewlett to eliminate him from our investigation into the disappearance of Madeleine McCann.
“He is not a suspect but I was keen to interview him because of his failing health. I have tried over the past weeks to arrange this via his lawyer in Germany.
“These negotiations have been difficult for reasons which I do not want to go into detail about. Mr Hewlett’s condition has of course been deteriorating during these negotiations.
“I travelled to Germany yesterday in a final effort to interview Raymond Hewlett. Regrettably that interview is not possible. From information provided by his lawyer and other sources it is obvious that his health is such that any meaningful interview would not be possible.”
West Yorkshire Police has confirmed its officers are investigating Hewlett in connection with an indecent assault in 1975.
Madeleine was nearly four when she went missing from Praia da Luz in the Algarve on May 3, 2007 while her parents dined with friends nearby. Despite a massive police investigation and huge publicity worldwide, she has not been found.

We never heard any more about the Priest at the Catholic Church in the Algarve where the McCanns went to regularly while aftr Maddie disappeared. He was very supportive to the McCanns. Remeber all the fuss about whether she was buried in the church grounds , then the Priest left due to stress- understandably after all the controversy and media pressure. But surely someone like him or another altruisitc individual within that church community with contacts in the community could assist now as time has gone on. Local clergy know their flock well and could have information they do not even realise is valuable.

I have not MET her but I knew what the problem was–the spirit that was taking her over was a gibbering menace on the spiritual plane–in this world it would scare the s*** out of one. If I meet her on the spiritual plane I more than likely would never meet her in THIS world. I have not tried to meet her, it was enough for me just to get rid of the friggin’ entity for her.
As I’ve said, she’s normal now. That doesn’t mean, of course, that another entity could try to get her again. As for why? I think the devout Catholicism of her parents drew the entity to their daughter.
As for proving this situation? I’m still going day to day on that one. I gave the truth because everyone in the UK really got together about her and cared about where she was. NOBODY would have EVER guessed what really happened to her, that was another reason. Look, I don’t want to be famous–a reward for finding her, hell yes!
But do you honestly think they’d pay that reward?!
I gave what I know–how she’s going to “come back” to you guys in Britain I don’t know. For me, knowing she’s not dealing with the enitity is fine for now–but it would be nice to see a new picture of her wouldn’t it? Maybe her parents will bring her back now. Nobody likes to admit this stuff exists but as it stands now, she’s back to herself..
Have a good one

So you’ve met Maddie, John E?

Psychics and the like hurt the parents and families of missing children more than anything and that I can’t excuse.
I came across this blog a while ago on UK Skeptics. It’s by a mother whose son was missing for 14 years and she obviously didn’t have a clue what had happened to him.
http://voice4themissing.blogspot.com/2006/03/30606-pmp-introduction-to-psychics-and.html
“Psychics and other users of purported paranormal phenomena, cause unnecessary and damaging pain and anguish to families of the missing. They can also add to financial stress if they charge fees. We’re already on a roller coaster ride of events and emotions, and we should have no desire to add to it.”

John, the trouble with psychics, shamen, etc etc is they’re all so vague. If you can prove what you’re saying is true, that’d be great. But how many people have said they know what’s happened to Madeleine, and then all given different stories? A bit like religion, how can they all possibly be true, and that’s one of the main reasons that people don’t believe anymore.
I don’t think anyone is suggesting you’d hurt Madeleine but we’re a cynical bunch on Anorak, that’s what the site is all about!
June 10th, 2009 at 9:08 am
Maddie’s still alive. A charlatan? Not so. What I think is what I know. You’re sad for thinking I’d hurt Maddie. I liked Maddie more than most of the people I’ve met in my life.

John E Rotten………shaman?
Charlatan morelike!

More shitting bull than sitting bull I think, but i’m open minded. it’s one of my many faults
June 9th, 2009 at 11:53 pm
John, can you tell me if the Shamen have any plans for releasing some new material? The Prodigy have got back together and are doing quite well,so why not you guys? All together now “E’s are good, E’s are good, He’s Ebeneezer Good”…

When you solve the case can you be sure to credit Anorak in some way. We don’t want another Percy/SuBo fiasco kicking off.
Cheers

John, as a Shaman, elaborate please on your knowledge. surelyn it is your duty as an intermediary between tehb human and spirit world!!…
June 9th, 2009 at 7:29 pm
Do Tell John E!

Yeah, I’m still shaking my head over that one.. the guy’s gonna die, they’ll constantly insinuate that he was involved in the situation, and no one will ask any more questions.. it amuses and disgusts. All I have to do is keep an evil spirit off Maddie’s back and she’s normal; they in turn have to keep producing excuses or “leads” to the world–(wait for the 3rd Anniversary, “New Suspect”, etc)..
They might want to recognize the fact that a shaman is involved in this thing–I’ve been one for 13 years and know what happened to Maddie– I also have the knowledge that she is no longer “possessed” but is in a state of shock at where she’s at. She is cared for by these people, true, but this charade cannot go on forever..then again, maybe it can the way it looks.

Interesting question of did he or did he not see her alive as he now claims he never said it. One way to get that answer is to go to the newspaper which first printed the story wherein they claim he said he did see her, ask directly for time, place, and name of person who told them that story supposedly quoting Hewlett.
It is time the newspapers be held accountable to prove what they write are true facts.

‘The Portuguese police reacted by making the parents “official suspects’
rubbish of course.
June 7th, 2009 at 3:45 pm
I must admit that this is a GENIOUS ploy, finding a dying beast (not worthy of the label “man” or “person”) None of us saw that one coming, did we? It was worth poring over the files for so many months - BINGO!
