Madeleine McCann And Raymond Hewlett’s White Van
MADELEINE McCann Watch: Anorak’s at-a-glance look at Madeleine McCann in the news - Raymond Hewlett’s white van and James Bone Damman, and more jokes…
Daily Mirror: “MADDY’S MAN LIE - Paedo’s story falling apart”
Raymond Hewlett faces more questioning over missing Madeleine McCann
While all other papers lads with news of the “black out” of MPs expenses, the Labour Party-supporting Daily Mirror leads with news of Raymond Hewlett and Madeleine McCann. Such is the papers desire for, er, justice.
Pervert Raymond Hewlett’s lies were unravelling last night as he faced renewed questioning over missing Madeleine McCann.
What lies? Can the Mirror prove Hewlett has lied? What say the paper’s lawyers?
The convicted paedophile rekindled suspicion after it was revealed he tried to mislead detectives over the vehicle he was driving at the time the youngster vanished.
Which detectives – private or the police?
He claimed he only had one motor – a blue Dodge truck. And he said it was so distinctive that he could not have driven into Praia da Luz in May 2007 without being spotted. But now a former friend has dramatically come forward to say Hewlett was lying.
He actually owned a white Mercedes van at the time – similar to one seen parked near the McCanns’ apartment before Madeleine disappeared.
What white Mercedes seen parked near the McCanns’ apartment “before” Madeleine disappeared? And how soon before was it spotted there? The Mirror does not are to say.
As Sky news told us:
“One report suggests he was sitting in a small, white van. Police have got a good description of the man: about 5ft 8in tall, between 30 and 35, not Portuguese according to one of the witnesses, wearing a blue jacket and white trousers.”
The Telegraph added:
Mr Flack, a freelance engineer designer from Ilford in Essex, has a holiday home in Praia da Luz, near the McCann’s family’s apartment at the Ocean Club resort.
On either May 2 or 3 last year – the day Madeleine disappeared – he saw a man standing near a dirty white van, staring intently at the couple’s ground floor veranda.
He said he noticed that the man – aged between 25 and 35, tanned, medium height, with thick dark hair and fringe - was behaving oddly.
So back to 30-ish Hewlett, lionine-haired Hewlett and the white van…
Ex-Scots Guard Peter Verran, 46, decided to contact the Maddy inquiry team after being disturbed by Hewlett’s claims in our sister paper, the Sunday Mirror.
Mr Verran, who befriended Hewlett on a campsite in Morocco in June 2007, said: “He told me he owned a white Transit-type van before his blue Dodge truck. He said he’d swapped it for the Dodge in order to leave Portugal and travel to Morocco.
“The white van didn’t have enough room for the whole family, so he sold it to a pal who traded on the same market as him in Fuzeta, about 40 miles from Praia da Luz.”
The white van…
According to Mr Verran, Hewlett also said that he had driven from Portugal’s Algarve to Spain in the Mercedes van around the time Madeleine vanished. But Hewlett, who was living near Praia da Luz, insisted recently that he only had the Dodge truck.
So he had a rare white van, maybe. Does this mean Hewlett’s “lies are unravelling” as the Mirror stats?
A source close to the Maddy inquiry team said yesterday: “This new information could be very significant. Hewlett has repeatedly said that he could not have been at the scene without someone remembering his distinctive truck. But if he was driving a Mercedes van at the time, his reasoning is shot to pieces.”
So the detectives will now be able to try and track down this van, right? And get some evidence firstly of a crime having been committed and secondly of a suspect. In the meanwhile, it’s all speculation.
Meanwhile, in othe news, too many of our politicans are lying, cheating, grasping scumbags - something the Mirror missed…
Update - Times:
The FBI last night squelched the claim by a Michigan man that he was the victim of an infamous child abduction on New York’s Long Island more than half a century ago.
The FBI said that DNA tests proved that John Barnes was not Steven Damman, the two-year-old child snatched outside a grocery shop on the afternoon of Hallowe’en 1955 while he waited with his little sister Pamela for their mother buy a loaf of bread…
Steven Damman’s disappearance was the Madeleine McCann case of its day, sparking front-page headlines and a nationwide search for the missing boy.
Sometimes these things never end…

thepoorpriest - amoral has admitted there were no procedures to find a missing child and further that the case was bungled. The child was missing, that in itself would have put the majority of police departments in many countries into action and treated the case as a possible abduction. They didn’t even secure the apartment she went missing from thus potentially losing any evidence or leads to what happened to her. He was fully aware of paedolphile activities over there in the past and didn’t even treat the case as a possibility of her being abducted by one. IMO, they try to cover up the dirt over there by not even keeping a list of known paedophiles.

You may be right there, and my memory wrong. I apologise for that. He apparently walked through an unlocked door, but must have left some drips from the bath! I just don’t think we know enough details of that case. But clues do included his car being seen.

You are making that up.
I have read several reports of that case. In none of them is there any mention of plenty of signs of abduction, apart from the child being missing from where she ought to have been.

Tis I Gandolf returned from the elysian fields, the fukwits are in the fukwittery and the pfa nonces are double fukwitteryites, the night of darkness draws near, beware the people you least suspect, with hearts as black as an orcs arse and the stench of sulphur from their lying lips…….beware………..

from Times online 30 December 2005
“A six-year-old girl who was snatched from her bath, sexually assaulted and dumped naked in a snowy lane has described her ordeal to police.
The girl was screaming and had blood on her when she was found 20 minutes after she had been abducted from her home in Willington Quay, North Tyneside, on Tuesday night.!”

yes I recall the case of the little girl taken from her bath…. but she was found, alive, abandoned in the street a few hours later.
statistics show that this kind of abduction of a very young child, leads to a body or, usually, a live child , being used then dumped soon after. But Maddie has never been found, not even a trace (except the cadaver odour detected by the dogs). anyway the abductor in the bath case left plenty of signs of an abduction, but there are no signs at all of an abductor in Maddie’s case.

Possibly…after a face lift
Probably best to avoid the Naughty Step
Hah Aug 1st, should be entertaining watching the news that night
June 19th, 2009 at 3:42 pm
June…. how about Ozzie Osbourne from a distance?
I don’t think Hewlett was directly involved anyway but I bet he knows something. Word gets around these closet communities. I’ve always had my own ’suspect’ but daren’t repeat it for fear of the naughty step.
and yes… the Dark Side is slowly coming under the total control the Coughing Prince of Darkess and his two sidekicks. Can’t wait to hear what my mole has to say about the meeting on August 1st. Sssshhhhh. Secret Squirrel.

It seems Goncalo Amaral’s book has been publish today in Germany.
I knew about it in Holland and France and through Amazon.
Can anyone of you tell me if it is true?
Moderator - Its understood the McCanns are suing Amaral because of the contents of his book, he believes it to be true, the McCanns don’t.

I seem to remember a few years ago a paedophile entering a house and removing a young girl from a bathroom while she was having a bath. Her mother went out for a moment. I don’t remember reading a report that the child screamed out, or that the mother was more than 60 yards away…Paedophiles are vile creatures and these predators will wait for the right moment,and go to any length’s to procure their victims. If a paedophile marks a child out, they are like sneak thieves they will take risks in order to abduct that child and it is difficult for any parent to watch a child 24 hours a day.
Moderator - I recall the case , but could you find a source, so as to refresh memories

C&C,
should have added re the dark site, there have been so many takeovers of that site perhaps its now pro McC? (til the next Thursday!)

According to the Algarve Resident, the owner of the white van has already been traced
http://www.algarveresident.com/story.asp?XID=31807
You have to sign up to read the full article but it has been posted in a few places if you’d like to Google.
Apparently, a guitar teacher lives in the van and he was shopping at the supermarket, which is why it was parked near the McCann’s apartment.
June 19th, 2009 at 1:37 pm
C&C,
30 to 35 years younger? come on….
If thats true then I am definitely 25
June 19th, 2009 at 1:24 pm
Bat E Bird….. I think it would be quite easy after a few nights of observing the groups routine of movements. I’ve always thought that it was someone connected to the resort who could easily watch all their movements and also study Madeleine, maybe even befriend her around the pool?
I’ve stayed in resorts where the cleaners / gardeners / pool maintainers will chat naturally to the children during the day and the kids view them all as safe. (as most of them are of course).
It only takes one…
June 19th, 2009 at 1:16 pm
I don’t know June, I think that if a man has long hair then one often uses that to assume an age.
Ignore the close up of his face that no-one had and he could easily be mistaken for someone younger. I wouldn’t rule him out just because of the original description.
So… Mr Levy has been exposed as an (allegedl) fraudster over on the dark side. Can that be true? shoorely shome mistake?
So many saints turning out to have cloven hooves.
June 19th, 2009 at 1:15 pm
You seem to know it all Lynn.
What happened that night then? How did he avoid all the comings and goings and manage to silently grab a little girl without leaving any trace and without waking her? All this within eye and earshot of her parents and their friends as well.
June 19th, 2009 at 1:07 pm
The evidence is that the man seen was between 25 and 35, Hewlett was 62 at the time…..
June 19th, 2009 at 1:01 pm
Well it would appear that Hewlett in an article in today’s Daily Mirror had not been exactly truthful in his article that appeared in the media, now I wonder why.? It’s about time now that the Portuguese police re-opened the case, they did state that if new evidence was forthcoming they would re-open the case,and why haven’t the British police interviewed him, because it’s the only way she will be found. I for one have never believed that her parents had anything to do with her disappearance..Sherlock Holmes may be a fictional detective, but he was given a very factual philosophy on detection. When approaching a case he would rule out the impossible and examine what he was left with, as this he believed, was the truth, however improbable that truth seemed……It was an abduction.
