Madeleine McCann: Spotted In Sweden And Aisling Syme
MADDIE WATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann : Aisling Syme is missing in New Zealand. The McCanns have issued a press release saying they are praying for her. And then one day on, Maddie is spotted in Sweden…
The Sun: “McCanns: Find girl in Swedish photo”
DETECTIVES were last night desperately hunting a girl who was photographed in Sweden - after computer-matching showed she could be missing Madeleine McCann.
The girl, who was pictured at a car show, bears a strong resemblance to Maddie, who would now be six. Her jawline is identical and her eyes are the same colour as Maddie’s.
Blonde child spotted in Sweden. Read all about it.
The girl was with a man and a woman at the car show, held in Sweden’s capital Stockholm in August. The man was Swedish but the girl spoke perfect English.
A seded woo can speak English? Hold the front page!
The woman remained silent, and the snapper said both adults refused to be photographed.
The man and woman with the child at a car show declined to be photographed by a stranger looking at the child they were with? Odd…
The couple’s official spokesman Clarence Mitchell said: “Kate and Gerry and their investigators are aware of the picture and are liaising with the relevant authorities. The investigation team are looking into it.”
Haven’t we been in Sweden before? And don’t we already know what Madeleine McCann looks like aged 6?
The Sun told in August how a Victoria Beckham lookalike asked a man at a marina in Barcelona, Spain: “Are you here to deliver my new daughter?” One of the yachts linked to the woman came from Sweden.
The luxury cruiser was one of six recorded as having left the Algarve port of Portimao the morning after Maddie vanished. All the other boats have been traced and eliminated from the investigation. But all efforts to find the Swedish yacht have failed.
As Anorak told you:
In Sweden all vessels measuring over 12 metres (40ft) long must be registered with the Swedish Maritime Administration. But inquires with their head office in Stockholm yesterday found no record of the yacht.
You don’t suppose… No, it’s too far-fetched. Well, you don’t suppose the mystery yacht was smaller than 12 metres long?
Now in the Sun:
An investigator revealed: “It has apparently vanished without trace. The captain told port authorities he was going to the Algarve port of Albufeira, but the boat never arrived and has not been found since.”
UK Parents Lounge: “Madeleine ‘lookalike’ sought by Swedish police”
The tagline for this website is – cruel irony of cruel ironies – “a place to get away from the kids”.
Daily Telegraph: “New Zealand child disappearance ’similar’ to that of Madeleine McCann”
Meanwhile in New Zealand…
More than 60 officers are searching for Aisling Symes, who vanished from outside a house in Auckland five days ago.
Aukland NewsTalk counts 40 officers.
Her mother, who was with her at the time, claims she disappeared within just a few seconds while her back was turned… Child abduction is extremely rare in New Zealand and Aisling’s case has caused widespread shock, dominating newspaper and television headlines for five days. A picture of the blonde-haired, blue-eyed toddler dressed in a knitted blue striped cardigan has stared hauntingly from front pages daily.
Blonde hair. Blue eyes. Relevant.
“I turned off the hot tap, looked behind me and there she was, watching what Caty and I were up to,” a tearful Mrs Symes said. I turned off the cold tap, looked behind me, and she was gone — that fast. I can’t believe that she moved so quickly. In the time it took just to turn off a tap, she was gone.”
Irish Herald: “Aisling’s kidnapping suddenly makes the world feel less safe”
We are continually protecting ourselves and our children against dangers, imaginary and real. This is why events such as the kidnapping of Aisling (2), the murder of James Bulger or the 2007 disappearance of Madeleine McCann on a family holiday have such a strong effect on those who have never met them.
Madeleine McCann is missing - but not in the press which continues to sue her as its fallback story…

Yes, if you need a hand at researching these sites let me know….

It was a hard slog but I suppose in the name of truth and justice someone has to do it. Did I comment that it was a swedish site - nuph said.
Good night one and all!

good for you scotfree!
I’ll sleep tight tonight knowing you’re cruising the net for pneumatic wannabes draping themselves over sports cars
you’re taking one for the team and no mistake

I found a web site in Sweden that had 100 pics of the event and the only girls that were draped over the cars were the usual pneumatic wanabees

The poor fucking child’s photo should not be anywhere on the internet anyway, it’s just some random girl who should be left alone

Scotfree, that is an excellent question. Does the Sun want to protect its own story or help find a missing child?
Or do all the other papers etc just think it’s probably a load of tosh?

Can anyone tell me why there is not a copy of the photograph or any of the others that the photographer took to be found anywhere on the internet. From Scandinavian newspapers to Hungarian papers and the many blogs and comment pieces to be found not a pic. The only one that can be seen is the one that the Sun so helpfully has put its watermark over the face distorting the underlying picture?

“But all efforts to find the Swedish yacht have failed.”
“Fun Too” So why don’t they just email the elderly owner Gerhard F ? or they could write or telephone if they prefer, the owners details are freely available on the internet.
Anorak was correct the vessel is smaller that 12 meters it measures just 8.9 meters with a beam of 4.0m draught 1.5m

Just read on the Sun’s website that apparently they can’t zoom in. Guess they thought of that too.
I still wonder if Madeleine simply wandered off by herself, as I am also doing with poor little Aisling who’s been found in a storm drain. Only a few weeks ago I found a girl no older than 2 in the street near my daughter’s mum’s house. She was only outside her own house but had both house and car keys in hand. Naturally, I escorted her back but, having driven past and had to turn round, she was outside for at least 90 seconds without her Mum noticing. ( I don’t blame her for one instant as she clearly thought her daughter was safely locked inside the house.)

I’ve never understood why they didn’t go the whole hog and have a telethon with people phoning in to pledge money & make sighting reports…
“Hi, Gerry… I think I’ve seen a blonde girl in the Asda off the M8 on the way out from Govan….’

Can this little girl’s eye be shown larger. Its a wonder that has not been done already as Maddie has a distinctive “eye pattern”.

If that’s Maddy I’m Britt Ekland

I Have To Admit, Aisling And Maddie Do Look Simalir, I Wonder If One Of These Is True:
1.The Kiddnapper Thought Aisling Was Maddie, And That She Had Escaped,
2.The Kiddnapper Has A Thing For Girls Under 7, With Blond Hair And Blue Eyes.

I wonder if it’s possible to get a closeup of her right eye? Bound to be red herring number 86, but here’s hoping…
