Madeleine McCann’s Wearside Jack And Toscano’s Suspect

madeleine-mccann-1.jpgAFTER weeks of no news, and much speculation, we learn that Madeleine McCann was “SNATCHED BY ORDER BY GANG”.

And not just any gang, but a “paedophile gang”. The Express leads with this hideous development, telling readers how Spanish journalist Antonio Toscano claims to have met members of an international crime ring which specialises in kidnapping children.

It seems that while British journalists have been turning up the volume on Madeleine McCann’s parents, a Spanish hack has been trying to crack the case.

Toscano says a man was spotted in a bar in Seville, two hours from the Portuguese border. This man, a known paedophile, apparently told the reporter how he planned to travel to the Algarve. This meeting occurred days before Madeleine’s abduction.

A source tells the Express: “He was hired by two other people to abduct Madeleine, who had been identified some time before she disappeared, possibly in the UK. He was doing this on the orders of others.”

So it was this known felon, right? Or wrong. The Express doesn’t say. It just gives front-page space to Toscano’s tale. And in so doing the paper spreads the anxiety. There really are paedos on every corner. They are at the airport. They are watching. They communicate across borders. They are everywhere. The evidence? Senor Toscano says so. And that will do for us.

But before we take to the streets on paedo hunt, we hear a phone ringing. The police take the call. A voice. “I know where Maddie is,” it says. The Sun hears it too. It commands: “FIND THE CALLER.”

But a police source says how the “urgency of the situation waned”. Kate and Gerry McCann were told of the call and advised not to board a plane. The caller might call again. The man may want to speak with them and they must be instantly contactable.

But the Mirror says this is “no longer regarded as a significant line of inquiry”. So much for rolling news. Readers hear about a sensational new development that has already been consigned to the bottom draw.

This caller is Madeleine McCann’s Wearside Jack, the Sunderland hoaxer who claimed to be the Yorkshire Ripper - “I am Jack. I see you are still having no luck catching me…”

Gerry McCann says this call “turned out to be nothing of interest”. Of course, he could be bluffing, keeping it low-key to not scare off this mystery caller.

Better to keep the media out of it, lest they provide too much heat and not enough light.

    I’m inclined to think they are bluffing, playing it down in the hope he calls back… maybe i’m just being hopeful

  2. 2 scruf Says:

    Well done again to the press?! If this was a genuine call surely the fact that the whole world now knows about it gives the abductor every opportunity to move her somewhere else?

  3. 3 Palma de Mallorca Says:

    YAWN…
    Aren’t we all just tired to death of the media hysteria yet?

  4. 4 pixie girl Says:

    personally i don’t think they should have broadcast that yesterday, if i was that caller and genuine, I probably would be too scared to call back now

    Yes, and I’m afraid that’s about the level of infantile stupidity at which these things generally work. If we’re not all convinced yet that there’s some kind of global S.M.E.R.S.H.-like kiddie-fiddling ‘network’ at large (and, of course, very organised) in the world we jolly well should be. How long before we discover their top-secret hidden base, concealed in a dormant volcano somewhere in the South Pacific? I say we call Bond. 007 will know where to find these SCUM!

    LOL, etc.

    I think madeline kidnapper was not pedofil at all and antonio toscana is wrong, that her kidnapper planned kidnapping long before wrong too, but concider what he sad that madeline been choosen, I am absolut agree with him. Guys look at the right eye of madeline , on that reason and witness observation in marrakech morocco and other private arguments I build my theory that madeline been choosen by so called “GHARBI” a man who uses woodo to find treasure by the help of one geeny and that geeny would guide the GHARBI to the treasure by the help of the madeline. but I keep dreaming this. I personally know about these very old ritual but steel exit and this is the cryp: in old days people used to burry treasure deep and hard to find but if the treasure is forgotten for a long period like 100 years it become unrecoverable because a GEENY find it and hide it his way then no one kan reach it even they find it cause the geeny wil try to protect it good. Using special codes and mean woodo rituals wil let this person communicate with this geeny wich can be anything living soul special : dogs, apes, crows. So the old tale tells that some kids have special sign in the eye like the one in madeline eye and these kids wil be direct key to communicate with the geeny, the worst part will not tell it. Whatever you think, am just one human as the rest who feel so sorry for madeline and her parents specially the mother I ask God : please bring madeline home she does not deserve this whole drama. and thanks

    I feel that i have to keep referring people to my earlier posts. Robert Murat left Portugal for a few days The Mirror 16th May. London-born Murat also repeatedly went in and out of the family’s holiday apartment, potentially contaminating the crime scene. He helped co-ordinate initial searches and within 24 hours of Madeleine’s disappearance had told locals she was wearing pink pyjamas.Days later, Murat is believed to have returned to the UK to visit his former wife Dawn and their daughter Sofia in Norfolk. Have the police checked Robert Murat’s travel details when he travelled out of Portugal for a few days including if he had anyone travelling with him, the possibility of a child similar to his daughter and being treated as his daughter. Could he have taken Madeline with him as his daughter if she is so like his daughter he could have got through the passport check with the child being treated as his own if his daughter is on his passport. It is a possibility.Are we sure that he went directly to England. Surely his travel details should be checked.
    This reminds me of the 11 yr old Robert Houlihan from Middleton in Cork when the killer Wayne O’Donoghue helped in the search, visited Robert’s house and assured Roberts mother that he would be found. He only confessed when Roberts phone was traced and his body was found.
    In relation to Sergey Malinka IF this is the same guy,(based in Portugal! then it appears he has access to sea vessels: Heaven sent gave details re Island Expeditions. http:///www.corlettmaritima.com See Malinka’s name and telephone no 00351 914168557 on Contacts on this site.
    They bring groups on Expeditions from Gibralter to remote islands off the east coast of Africa in a ship originally named “Seahawk Remamed “Naomi Corlett” in 2000.

    Mirror 18th May. He was also linked to a business in Lagos offering boat trips in the Mediterranean and to North Africa.
    If I were the McCanns I would have a private detective travel on that ship and to the islands that it visits. If i were them I would also consider strongly visiting the ship and taking a trip on it myself. The fact that there seems to have been a suspected sighting in Morocco in the early days. She could have been brought there on that ship and possibly taken further to the Islands in west Africa.

    Mirror 17th May Local reports claim Malinka disappeared from Praia da Luz at about the time Madeleine was plucked from her holiday apartment. Malinka is the third friend of Murat to be interrogated. Murat’s German girlfriend Michaela Walczuch and her Portuguese husband Luis Antonio were held.
    It is strange if Malinka had nothing to hide why were his computer hard drives wiped clean when the police took it? I would be at a loss if I wiped mine clean.
    Why were he and Murat in contact by phone at 11.30 PM the night Madeline went missing if they were only business contacts?
    Where did Murat go when he hired the car , he could have had Madeline in the boot or God forbid her body for disposal similar to Huntley and Wayne O’Donoghue.

    If these people are innocent forgive me for all the speculation but every suspicion has to be eliminated.
    So concerned for Madeline and her parents.

  11. 11 Paul Says:

    Eileen,
    Where is the lych mob meeting so we can element the suspicions people ? You seem to know Madeleine was “plucked from her holiday apartment “? Anything you want to share ?

    Don’t bother answering just pointing out any speculation when we don’t know any of the facts is dangerous. Read http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2005/10/11/ntort11.xml&sSheet=/news/2005/10/11/ixhome.html

    This is just one example unfortunatly there are many more.

  12. 12 Jan Says:

    I don’t know if Murat did anything. My gut tells me Madeleine did not wonder off or walk off a cliff. Pedophile/paedophile rings have existed and I’m sure they still do. I posted a link to information about one in Belgium.

    55 minute documentary that was never “allowed” to air on our cable network……
    http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=866739408240639313

    I’m sure there are more.

  13. 13 Paul Says:

    Jan,
    It’s being hosted on google video not exactly banned is it. You say you don’t know if Robert Murat (he has a first name but then just using Murat makes him sinister) did anything. The bring up padophile rings. Get the rope out their’s going to be a hanging.

    PS read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawrence_King

    Eileen , do you seriously think that these questions have not already been asked by the Portuguese police? What do you think the answers to all these questions are?

  15. 15 Jan Says:

    I don’t know if just nameing Murat by his last name makes him sound more sinister or not. It’s easier to write. I have no other thoughts about the man except he sounds like he’s hard up, having to watch all that porn etc.

    I wrote that the video was not “allowed” to air on our cable networks. It may have been banned from the producers perspective, but I don’t know that.

    Who’s hanging who? All I said was that pedophile rings exist. Like it or not. Ignoring or denying that fact will not make them go away.

    What’s your point P?

  16. 16 Paul Says:

    Jan,
    You have no thoughts about Robert Murat so why mention him and paedoephile rings in the same paragraph. So he looked at porn so what.

    My point is that finger pointing at Robert Murat by the press has not added anything to anyone’s knowledge of what happened to Madeleine and not helped returning her to her parents.Before anyone spends to long ranting no I don’t think the McCann’s are involved. But who knows?

    Paedoephile ring may exist not denying it (certainly don’t like it). But the fact is that most abuse takes place closer to home friends, relatives & parents. The reporting by the Express of a international “paedophile gang” was planning to kidnap Madeleine even watching her in UK sounds plot of a ‘B’ movie.

  17. 17 Jan Says:

    Paul,
    Okay, look, the whole worlds not twisted. I don’t think that because someone looks at porn every now and again that there is something wrong with them. So please don’t make it sound like I’ve taken an offense to someone indulging in viewing porn because that’s just not the case. I raised an eyebrow when I read that his (MURATS) boss said he has an addiction or something to that affect….If you have to look at porn most of the time and porn occupies your mind most of the time then you have a bit of a problem. I’d like to think he’s hard up and not some psycho sex freak, but then again…who knows? Im sure the police have already checked everyhting out.

    Yes, you’re statement is correct in that, most “abuse” DOES take place closer to home etc…”abductions” can too. “Home” being the opperative word here wherever that is. Abductions abroad or while on vacation/holiday, in other words away from home, of older children like Madeleine, are not usually for adoptions or anything positive.

    There are ALL kinds of sex rings all around the world. Human trafficking exists primarily for that reason. Pedophilia rings are worldwide as evidenced by internet crime reports; which are easily accessed on the internet. Where do you think they get those kids from? Those poor innocent babies are swapped and moved just like adults in adult sex rings….if whatever they’re being used for does not kill them. NOW, is it at epidemic proportions, or does it exist in the same quantity as adult pornography? I don’t think so, No. But it exists. In one case it existed to the tune of 1200+ people who were tracked to child pornography on the internet in “1″ child pornography bust in Canada. Those 1200+ freaks were from all different countries. That number tells me it sells….and that COULD be what happened to this gorgeous child.

    I wouldn’t know about “B” movies…I think I saw one once as a teen….

  18. 18 Jan Says:

    “The reporting by the Express of a international “paedophile gang” was planning to kidnap Madeleine even watching her in UK…”
    This does sound far fetched. It definately sounds like media hype.

    In most stranger abduction cases the child is snatched on impulse and opportunity. They see and they take. It’s not planned out.

  22. 22 Pete Says:

    The sinister paedo ring story makes good copy for the tabloids but while this is a possibility, it is the one of the most unlikely scenarios. Child abduction for a couple wanting a kid is also unlikely as the 2 younger kids were left - this is significant I feel in terms of motive. I also don’t give much credability to the various sightings and phone calls as reported in the press. Research these cases, look at the typologies and profiles of the offenders, and probabilities emerge. Even without being an expert, anyone with common sense, can make an educated guess as to whats happened here.
    It’s most likely to be a lone paedophile, with good local knowledge, who snatched Madeleine. The offender struck in daylight, when people were still around, thus taking quite a risk, so he (and it is a male) must have known the right time to act i.e. he had noticed Madeleine was left unattended in her appartment, and also knew where her parents were at the time. Only somebody reasonably local would have had this crucial inside knowledge ? I also think Madeleine was taken primarily because of her vulnerability, and that her parents leaving her alone was more important factor than her age etc.
    The McCanns must have been watched for at least a few days or more prior to the kidnap (in my opinion). Therefore the offender is either from the resort, or had been staying in the area for a while. Child abduction is not a first offense so the culprit would probably have been into child porn, perhaps even hanging around the beach taking photos of kids etc prior to building up to a kidnap.
    The level of patience and planning involved suggets an offender in his thirties, not some maniac or teenager, and so the offender would likely to be reasonably socially competent. This is an organised offender. I would also speculate, going by the offender profiles I’ve looked at, that the offender will likely live alone and own several vehicles, including a van.
    There is a great deal one can pick up from this kidnap, even going by the little there has been in the press, and it all points in one direction as far as I’m concerned. I’m not saying I’m right, I’m just saying on the balance of probabilities I have formed some views on this case. Its just my personal opinion as to what I think has happened.
    I also have my opinion on the suspect Robert Murat, and in particular his behaviour in the days after the kidnap - which to me is the most significant of all the evidence I’ve read about. Ask yourself - If there was a major murder investigation in your town would you 1) get involved and offer your services to the police ? 2) Would you try and hang around the crime scene and 3) quiz the journalists for info on the investigation to the point they report you to the police ? (a state informer had already reported Murat to the police a week before and he was already under surveillance).
    It hurts me to say it but the outlook for Madeleine, and her family, isn’t positive. I really, really, really hope I’m wrong. However I do think the police aren’t as daft as the UK tabloids make out and that they’re on the right track.

    Pete. Ian Huntley did all these things. It’s quite common apparently that the offender returns.

    Innocent until proven guilty, but there are alot of things that dont stack up for Murat.

    If I were Murat I would have given an interview addressing all the ‘dubious points’.

    Why did he lie about the phonecalls with Malinka? Where did he go with the hire car? The poilice say they found ‘relevant sexual history’. What does that mean? For it to be relevant it must be related to a child, otherise it would not be relevant? Why did he wipe his PC before police could get hold of it? Why did he and malinka lie about their relationship?

    Maybe he isn;t involved, but they’re up tp something.

  27. 27 Jan Says:

    Myra,
    I’m must be just as sick as you because I agree that all Pedophiles should be shot in the head. Unlike YOU I’m in touch with the reality that pedophiles are never going to be sentenced to death, unless they’ve kiiled in a country that has the death sentance. It just isn’t going to happen in my life time or my childrens life time, SO for all the bleeding heart liberals that run our world and all the sicko pedos in power I have to say that the next best thing is lock them up for LIFE. I say bleeding heart liberals becasue they are really the only ones that would want to keep them alive.

    Get a grip Myra! I’m glad you have awaken from your sleep and see how horrible this type of crime is but some of us have been aware of this stuff for decades now. Some are even trying to have laws changed. read more before you falsley accuse anyone of being sick.

    Do you recommend “worrying” as an efficacious remedy for said ills of the world? I’m not making light of what you say - merely pointing out that its extremely difficult for the ordinary person to influence in any meaningful way G8 and the rest - Bob Geldoff and Bono couldn’t do it, why do you expect us to be able to in which case unless there is a purpose to worrying about it, what should we do?
