Madeleine McCann: A New Book, Danger And A New Investigation
MADDIE WATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann, Kate McCann and Gerry McCann
IRISH INDEPENDENT: “Live dangerously: it’s so much safer”
We should stop fretting over potential disasters that are unlikely to happen, says a new book. Lisa Jewell reports
A new book:
Author Warwick Cairns enjoys an element of risk in his life and likes to skateboard and mountain bike. So you might expect that his book called How to Live Dangerously advocates taking up sky diving or swimming in shark cages.
Warwick Cairns dictates his book while parasailing outside his local hospital.

Madeleine McCann: Selling Amaral’s Opinion As Faction
MADDIE WATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann, Kate McCann and Gerry McCann
THE INDEPENDENT: “Detective set to publish McCann book in Britain”
Portuguese officer who led the search for Madeleine says his account defends the honour of his team
It’s Goncalo Amaral…
Speaking exclusively to The Independent on Sunday, Goncalo Amaral denied cashing in on the tragic disappearance of the three-year-old but said he was determined to restore his reputation, which “had been torn to shreds” by unfair and inaccurate media reports.
Not cashing in by writing a book that is then placed on sale for a fee. Why not just publish his thought on a website, and distribute it for free?
The book, Maddie: The Truth about the Lie, has already sold an estimated 180,000 copies in Europe, and Mr Amaral’s representatives are trying find a British publisher.
Anyone brave enough to publish it?
Says Amaral:

Madeleine McCann: Metodo 3, Using The Media And Allegations
MADDIE WATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann, Kate McCann and Gerry McCann
A reader in Portugal writes to Anorak of the Madeleine McCann case. There are no suspects. We do not know what crime, if any, has been committed. The parents are innocent. Robert Murat is innocent.
Now read on…
“Maddie: private detectives received aid from a “mole” inside the PJ - SOS Maddie.”
Spanish private detective reveals how the McCanns gained access to confidential police information within the Maddie case
Can this be true? Duarte Levy writes:
According to one of the private detectives that were hired by Metodo 3 within their contract with Kate and Gerry McCann, an inspector from the Polícia Judiciária transmitted confidential information regarding the movements of the Portuguese investigators and of their British colleagues within the inquiry into Maddie’s disappearance to the Spanish agency.
So leaks from the Portuguese police might not have been all bad?
The information that was thus obtained has allowed for the private detectives to inform the McCann couple and their entourage about the diligences that were prepared by the Portuguese investigators:
“Several initiatives by Amaral’s men failed due to the information that was given away by their colleague… but there was also information coming from informants that were connected to the British embassy”, the detective states.
“That was information that allowed us to know in advance what inspector Amaral and his colleagues intended to do”, the private detective further states during an interview that was recently recorded in Spain, stressing that “the inquiry would probably have had a different outcome without the intervention of the private detectives, but equally without that of certain British professionals.”

Madeleine McCann: Shannon Matthews And Amber Alerts
MADDIE WATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann, Kate McCann and Gerry McCann
THE GUARDIAN: “Shannon Matthews drugged and tied up in mother’s fake kidnap plot, court told”
She was another Our Maddie, albeit from a lower social caste…
At a time when the disappearance of three-year-old Madeleine McCann was still making headlines, West Yorkshire police mobilised 200 officers, searched 1,800 properties, checked every park in Dewsbury, stopped up to 1,760 cars and passers-by a night, and drafted in three quarters of all the country’s police dogs.
So had Madeleine McCann not been missing, British police would not have reacted with such a show of force..?
RADIO NETHERLANDS: “Dutch introduce nationwide missing child alert”
Had an Amber Alert system been up and running in the whole of Europe, the disappearance of British three-year old Madeleine McCann in Portugal in May 2007 might have been avoided.
Yeah, might. Such are the facts…
