Madeleine McCann Is Number One In The Top Ten Unsolved Crimes Hit Parade
MADELEINE McCann Watch: Anorak’s at-a-glance look at Madeleine McCann in the news - Our Maddie Tops the Top Ten Missing Unsolve Crimes.
Hats off to the Daily Telegraph for dreaming up The Top Ten Unsolved Crimes and putting Madeleine McCann front-page centre. The web loves Top Tens and with this one the Tabloidgraph should get loadsa traffic.
Beneath a picture of a grinning Madeleine McCann, Telegraph readers learn:
Richard Edwards: The question I get asked most: What happened to Madeleine McCann?
Edwards is the paper’s crime correspondent. Greetings, ghoul pickers. Here’s the official Top Ten of Crimes Unsolved:
That Top Ten:
Our Maddie
Jill Dando
Milly Dowler
Stephen Lawrence – Yeah, really. Unsolved? Or unprosecuted?
Suzy Lamplugh
Adam, Torso in the Thames
Colonel Robert Workman - in which Edwards mentions the TV show Midsomer Murders. Can you tell fact from fiction?
Ben Needham
The Nightstalker (London rapist and burglar)
Shergar
No space for Jack The Ripper, DB Cooper, Billie-Jo Jenkins (pictured), and every one of the millions of crimes that go unsolved. But, then, those crimes don’t have the celebrity element – a vital ingredient in a Daily Telegraph story…
Alright? Stay bright! Not ‘arf!

Garth, nice to see you again. Since you told me I believe it and I have heard of people using the Ouija Boards and others who won’t enter a room if one is in use. I do believe that Ghosts exist and firmly believe the Spirits of deceased family members come back to help the loved one dying pass over.
July 28th, 2009 at 11:43 pm
Cheryl, that’s a lovely story and Garth you gave me goosebumps, lol! I might be sleeping with the light on tonight……

. I myself don’t believe in Mediums nor that anyone has the ability to contact the dead
———————
Sit back and let me tell you a little story……
I used to mess around with ouija boards in my youth and on many occasions had contact with something unexplainable which would respond to questions. I was always the one who would ask the questions and have frightened a few people and in particular a girlfriend of mine whom, as I remember, was given information of many things relating to her family. I am not religious and I’m very sceptical about medium claims. But I do know one thing and thats that you can communicate to a spirit {call it what you like) through an ouija board.
This next bit I’m going to tell you was, for me, proof beyond any doubt that there is something unexplainable that you can communicate with.
When I first joined the Army I had two mates who joined the forces as well and after each 14 week term we would meet up. On this particular occasion I had gone to meet one of them down his house and we decided to do an ouija board like old times. Incidentally he was sceptical and almost arrogant to the point that he just wouldnt accept there was anything in this ouija stuff other than coincidence or me t pushing the glass……..until this one occasion.
We had managed to contact someone who came from Tasmania and (as I recall) died by sword in this country. Dates and stuff I don’t really remember. Anyway, the phone rang. I answered. It was our other mate who wanted to come over and show us his new motorbike he had just purchased. We continued with the oujia board. After a short while he arrived, came in and sat down and watched us continue with this contact. Again , my other mate was still sceptical and now, a little more defiant now our other mate had turned up. He irritated me. I had to prove it worked to him some how, so I asked this spiritual contact to spell out the registration number of the motorcycle our mate had just purchased. A number was spelt out. It was dark so we needed a torch to go out and check it. It was correct. We shat ourselves and legged it back into the house and we’ve never done another ouija board since.
So I know (we both know) there is something there which we can’t explain. And as to mediums………… who knows?!!

There’s been no “news” for a while and if you search for Madeleine McCann on t’internet, this site always pops up as No1, in my experience.Just folks looking for news. That’s what got me on this flipping website and now I’m blimmin’ addicted too!!
July 28th, 2009 at 9:44 pm
Dr Eggman, sadly there are many missing people/children never found. You have to wonder what kind of monsters are out there without a conscience who won’t at least give closure to the families by anonymously tipping the police where to find the bodies.
I think it is obscene for psychics to prey upon the grief of those with someone missing to charge them money for so-called information. If they truly had a gift they should give it without a penny exchanging hands.
I have a friend whose husband died 3 years ago after 20 years of marriage and she decided to go to a reading last year to see what life has in store for her. I told her don’t go if someone is meant to enter your life they’ll enter it. Six months ago her ex-husband from 38 years ago contacted her after all these years. They are now back together after 38 years and remarrying.

I wonder why there are suddenly quite a few Madeleine articles in the most viewed today box. Everything seems to be quiet at the moment in forum land so I wonder who’s looking around for stuff to read.
Most aren’t even current articles.
July 28th, 2009 at 8:26 pm
Cheryl, you’re right, of course. Out of all the theories and, let’s be honest, most of them have to be guesses by definition, someone out there has probably got it right. I just can’t believe she’s still missing. But then, sadly, there are so many lost people. That’s what worries or more exactly annoys me, that some psychics, maybe all of them, are in it for the money and they exploit people in their time of need. Surely no one who’s happy goes to see one?
July 28th, 2009 at 7:46 pm
Dr Eggman, the woman I went to is well known and even over in Europe. I’ve noted the two different predictions re Maddie on here and it bothers me as to their validity as to having a true gift. I myself don’t believe in Mediums nor that anyone has the ability to contact the dead. And I haven’t the foggiest idea what spiritual possession means or ever heard of it.
Frankly, we all have our own individual theories on what happened to her, if she’ll be found alive or not, and where she’ll be found, and all of us can give our predictions in writing and odds are one or some of us will be right on the nose, not because we have any gift but because we made a correct guess.
July 28th, 2009 at 6:57 pm
Trouble is Cheryl, we’ve got one saying she’s dead and one saying she isn’t. So who has the gift? How can you tell?
July 28th, 2009 at 6:27 pm
Yampster, I’ve taken those tests and it is a challenge to out-wit them. Only let them find out what you want them to. Love those questions in written testing asked one way and pages later same questions are asked but phrased differently. Many people fall for that and don’t realize that same question was asked in a different way and what answer they gave.
However, the woman I went to as a joke never asked me one question about myself she only talked to me about what she saw in my past, present and future. She didn’t make a single mistake, Yampster, everything she said was true and even what she told me would happen in the future but I’d be strong and get through it has happened.
July 28th, 2009 at 4:44 pm
Cheryl,
It’s not too hard for a trained psychologist to find out stuff about you if they can ask you questions and watch your reactions. I was involved in biometric psychological testing for a company doing mass interviews to weed out the wheat from the chaff before the face to face interviews started. I took part in the test as a benchmark. It was very good. Just on 25 or 30 sheets of questions I had given away a lot about myself. A lot of stuff that only I knew about myself. I doubt it is possible for anyone to do that without physical or written contact.
We all give a lot away about ourselves on these boards which someone with a little patience could cobble together into a quite scary ‘revelation’.
July 28th, 2009 at 3:31 pm
Now really Dr Eggman and other skeptics on here - some people really do have the ‘gift’. Maybe you were just hard to read or did a mental block from their reading you. Or maybe they don’t have the ‘gift’, who knows. I was always a skeptic and would laugh at friends who believed people had such a gift until one day a girl friend said to me hey let’s go have fun and go see a world-wide famous psychic who was in town for a TV program and also giving private readings. When you were given an appointment you were not to give your full name except first name and that was it. I walked in laughing and walked out quite sober! She told me things that no knew that I had kept private.
July 28th, 2009 at 10:12 am
Tell She-Who-Is-Not Sally you have the right to know and lurve Daddy Beneled.
Be prepared for shocking news.
She may tell you to sod off or section you under the Mental Health Act 1983
July 28th, 2009 at 9:41 am
or the flannel
oh come on we’ve all been there…..
July 28th, 2009 at 9:39 am
I see the bathroom suite now. The washbasin had two taps, one for hot and one for cold. You read Autocar in there. A disaster is looming for you. I see no paper. The Volvo section of your Autocar must be sacrificed or it’s Linda Belligham’s fingers for you.
July 28th, 2009 at 9:26 am
My Mum’s name is not Sally, but one of my pet’s is! How weird is that? (That was her name from the RSPCA). The only Maguire I know is Sean Maguire (not personally).
Don’t know a Beneled or Jayle though. Fair play to you though, you had a go. Oh, don’t like bran either, sorry :). I like the crossing the street thing a lot though, that’s kinda true because my kid, who doesn’t live with me, is always trying to get me over the road to see my neighbour’s kids, but then we all have to cross over sometime (in both senses…lol)
Good try John!
Yampster, I did once have a pink bathroom suite….
July 28th, 2009 at 8:21 am
Can you tell something about me please John E?
I asked a psychic to do this ages ago and she said she was too busy but would come back to me. She never did so, to this day, I still can’t believe there’s anything in it.
July 28th, 2009 at 6:51 am
Doc, your house number is 668, the neighbour of the Beast and your bathromm suite is false tooth pink
July 28th, 2009 at 6:39 am
Let’s not call us out like that.. sure I’m fake. Maybe he is too!
Your pets name (the nearest pet to you) is named Maguire
Your mother’s first name is Sally
Your father’s name is Beneled(sp?)
“Everyone’s appealing, yet”
You cross the street alot. You also like bran, I saw your relative. She said she was from the same faction.
Where is Jalye

July 28th, 2009 at 6:26 am
Your pets name is MaGuire
As long as we’re on the subject, isn’t her favorite elm but lemon as well?

July 28th, 2009 at 12:38 am
OK Adrian or John E,your chance to prove yourselves. Please tell me something about me. Nothing too personal, just a pet’s name (choice of two), house number, what kind of car I drive, parents’ 1st names, anything.
Amaze me!! I’m cynical but open minded.

Sorry, I didn’t mean to be brutal, however the truth can heal. One must accept what we cannot change. Better to know than to be endlessly awaiting that phone-call. I have seen Maddie many times since (bless her). The first time was 4th.Nov.’08: She was all sparkling and like a princess. She bonked me on the head with her wand and laughingly said: “No, a Fairy Princess”. In Germany, she said “Tell Mummy I’m alright”.
July 27th, 2009 at 7:27 pm
That’ll be lovely if her parents or anyone else who knows her is reading this. Well done.
July 27th, 2009 at 6:03 pm
Hi, Baby Jane, yes, Allgau. Sorry, John E, but you appear to be mixing up Spirit sighting with snapshots of living people and allowing the imagination to take over. I am a Medium, as was my paternal Grandfather and maternal Aunt. My first experience was the fire at Hampton Court (felt the heat, and panic, and saw the paint blister, then escaped to the roof & saw flames engulfing the battlements), 2 days before the event. Since then, many things. Developed at E. London Church group. Helped find a missing lady (saw Thames Embankment wall “?” Wharf (can’t remember name) & stone steps. She had been missing 2 days, but my vision enabled her daughter to locate her straight away. As for dear Maddie, I saw “TRAGEDY” upon awakening, and communication from her (telepathic) had ceased (like a radio station in a power cut). Later, I asked what had happened. I saw her face-down in the mud, and was shown a mans’ tie in a loop, pulled - - -.
That was 5th. August last year.

What about Jack the Stripper ???
The Hammersmith ripper of sex workers ???
July 26th, 2009 at 8:03 pm
If this were a “normal abduction” instead of a case of spiritual possession, you’d be right all down the line Cheryl.. I agree with you–they’d sell their own mothers for the reward–but this is a case of Maddie being taken over by a spirit–its a hard reality to imagine if you are looking from the outside in. It’s what you think it would be–very dark environment, spewing insults at the Lord, etc–even levitation. In short, what Hollywood gave us in “The Exorcist” can sometimes be a reality. Hers wasn’t anything like the woman from Germany who later became known as “Emily Rose” in that film.. that woman wound up murdered by her tormentors.
If you want some semblence of what it was like, rent that DVD “The Possession Of Emily Rose”. The clergy are in fact the clergy in this situation. They won’t sell her out because of what they went through together. A group that fought a possession together would be astoundingly “together” after it has passed. They’d make her parents look just some other couple to her afterwards..
Anyway, hope that helped. I know I get long-winded on the subject.

Hi Adrian R. Cantrill, re your post Nr. 8:
As far as I know the only region in Germany that had 2 metres snow last winter is the Bavarian Forest. Right?
July 26th, 2009 at 3:17 pm
John E, you say she is being well cared for by ‘decent church people,’ ‘decent’ people don’t take or keep a child who belongs to another and who they know is being searched for world-wide. No person who might have that child could plead ignorance of not knowing that child is missing. Further, if someone has that child then odds are very high a close friend or others know they have her - right now that child is worth how many millions that is being offered for her return or valid information on her whereabouts? For that amount of money people would turn in their own mothers to collect it.
July 26th, 2009 at 11:02 am
I knew you were going to say that.
July 26th, 2009 at 9:14 am
There you go. Psychics can’t even agree whether MM is alive or not. Quod erat demonstrandum.
Wonder what Shirley Ghostman thinks about it, or that fella that pretends to be him, Derek Acorah?
