Recycling Madeleine McCann In The Express
THE Express stands for recycling. And thanks to limited writing and Madeleine McCann’s continuing disappearance, the paper’s readers have felt no interruption to their routine.
This is journalism with a conscience.
This is the Express’s front-page “MADELEINE”. And today that word tops the news: “MUM’S FURY AT ‘YOU KILLED HER’ SLUR.”
Mum is Kate McCann, known to thousands of Express readers as “anguished” Kate McCann. And she is furious that a TV reporter has had the temerity to suggest that she might have had a hand in her daughter’s disappearance.
She is “horrified and deeply upset” that Sandra Felgueiras, “one of Portugal’s top presenters, a kind of swarthier and blonder Anthea Turner, “intimated” that Kate and her husband Gerry could have killed their child.
The Express says the McCanns are seeking a tape of Felguerias’s broadcast. Given that you can get most things on YouTube, this search should be simple.
Although the McCanns may be disappointed with what they find, or pleased. “As Felgueiras says: “I never said that and I never insinuated anything like that.”
She interviewed the McCanns two weeks back and asked them if those blood samples found in their holiday apartment could have come from Madeleine. Had she had an accident that made her bleed? She says the McCanns did not answer the question.
“If anything, I was far more moderate than other broadcasters and reminded viewers that’s this was just speculation.”
So much for Portuguese TV news. We’ll stick with the Express…

I believe Maddie was taken by a disturbed Maid that had been watching the family since they arrive. She abducted Maddie as she smiled at her previously before and she thought I want her for my daughter. The maid had been watching the Mc Canns and their friends during the night and realised they were checking their kids every half hour. The maid a close friend to Murat who lives near by the Resort helped her disturbed obsession for Maddie. How? by helping the Portugese police find her on the night while the maid smuggled the girl further away. He took some blood from Maddie at his home near by and planted it around the resort while he was helping to look for Maddie with the police. Who has been working close with the Portugese police all this time? Murat! He is keeping an eye on what is going on and letting the maid know.
The maid is also getting help with the child by a close male friend on their travels out of Portugal. Yes that was Maddie at the servo station.
The maid has told Maddie her family are dead and she has been given to her.
Maddie spends her time indoors with the maid while her male friend gathers the necessary items. There are three involved in Maddie’s abduction and I feel they are located in a remote area, near a lighthouse thats near a cliff.
This is my predictions!
If the Portugese police stop focussing on the Mc Canns as suspects and spent their time searching she would be found. But do it discreetly as the maid will get warning and move on again!

I am going not only for the reward offered by Gerry but for justice to be done. I trust the experts I named are not ‘good enough’. I am now ready to start with complete force soon the tracking with my team to find Madeleine. I will be looking for a child who has been shut in a room or has been disposed of. Due to that I am looking at the place she rests. I hope that is enough for Gerry to know, the money is not an issue, for I am taking his challenge up. This is what he wants and this is what he has started. Those looking in supermarkets and nice cosy homes where Madeleine is viewed in rose coloured glasses to be taken and sold to a couple who could offer her less than they are wrong. Or that she is unhappy if still alive.
Madeleine is still being sought by the official police forces and I will not stand on their toes but now he has come out and said that I take up the challenge. Watch this space.

Princes Di a perfect mother is a joke.
1. The person got divorced.
2. The person left children with grand-parents.
3. How many maids, babysitters, and teachers did her children have?
4. If she ‘bares the fruit of kinghood’ how many classmates did these ‘fruit’ have that are higher in test scores and smarter?
5. If she threw aside family for ‘charity work’ who was watching, and was Prince Charming hanging over the charity’s head and news tv.
6. It would be abuse, that the person never got a high school diploma or college. But the college gave it free, for signing a paper but not lifting the screw driver, blow torch, vehicle, or laundry machine from the assembly line.
”Public Apperances”‘ and die at a party in another mans car and bed.

I was horified to hear that the Mccanns were coming home my initial thoughts were leaving poor Madeleine there, I have thought though reading newspaper articles that something just did not add up
1. First Mccanns would not leave Portugal until Madeleine is found (then they are retruning home)
2. Media Campaign is going to be scaled down (but Jerry asks fund for money to help with posters, Awareness etc)
3. Jerry saying that he and Kate know something that they cannot release to us under Portugese law.
4. All this she is Alive then Dead a messed up burgulary, parents did it then they didn’t, then they are suspects and now they are not, press and police trying to push them out of portugal and then asking them to stay, I then stumbled across this report in a Google search
Madeleine McCann alive in Spain – new discovery following Portuguese Police false press tactic.
Article by Toby Serter
Wednesday 22nd August 2007, 18:17
Missing 4 year old Madeleine McCann is apparently alive and has been living in Spain with a young couple, it is alleged by Portuguese papers.
The news comes as the McCann family had announced several ground-breaking statements that they were virtually giving up all hope for their missing daughter and were considering returning to England.
The allegations are the Madeleine McCann who was snatched more than 110 days ago from a holiday resort in the Algarve, had been taken to a remote house in the hills in Southern Spain.
Sightings of a girl resembling missing Madeleine have recently been reported in the village of Competa and others have suggested that the child had been holed up in a remote mountain hide-away for months and was taken there on the night she disappeared.
Kate and Gerry McCann gave interviews to Spain’s three top-selling newspapers in which they insisted there was a “very real possibility” their daughter had not been killed.
These latest allegations appear to go against recent Portuguese police statements acknowledging for the first time that Madeleine could be dead.
The couple refused to say whether police have told them the young girl could be in Spain, but their interviews will fuel speculation that detectives have a new lead.
It is now 111 days since Madeleine vanished from her bed in the Algarve resort of Praia da Luz while her parents ate with friends in a nearby tapas restaurant.
A senior Portuguese police officer said yesterday that detectives had a “positive feeling” about the investigation as they await key DNA test results.
It is alleged that the Portuguese Police released false statements about giving up the hunt for Madeleine in order to try and flush out new evidence.
A Portuguese press spokesperson said “This is mainly the reason why the Police do not deal with the press during cases such as these, so that they can use them to their advantage and not give any advantages to the possible kidnappers”.
The Forensic Science Service (FSS) in Birmingham is still analysing blood specks found by British sniffer dogs on the wall of Madeleine’s bedroom in the McCanns’ holiday flat.
Chief Inspector Olegario Sousa, the spokesman in the case, said the forensic results were needed to test the hypothesis that Madeleine is now dead.
In recent weeks the focus of the investigation has moved away from Anglo-Portuguese ex-pat Robert Murat, 33, still the only official suspect in the case.
Unconfirmed reports this week said the inquiry was at a “decisive phase”, with police poised to launch fresh searches in the Algarve.
The McCanns have acknowledged there has been a “shift in the investigation”, but today they said nothing had changed in the past fortnight.
Pledging to ensure his daughter would not “become a statistic”, Mr McCann told El Mundo: “There is a very real possibility that Madeleine is alive and we want the police to look for her.”
He went on: “The possibility that Madeleine is alive and in Spain is real. It is something we did not consider at the beginning, but now we are seriously weighing up.
“The border between the two countries is very big. If someone had a car, it is clear they could cross into Spain. There is no border guard and no one closed the border the night Madeleine disappeared.”
Asked if the couple had received concrete information from Spanish police that Madeleine was alive and in Spain, Mr McCann said: “They are involved in the investigation, but I cannot tell you what they are working on, they will have to tell you officially.”
Preliminary DNA tests on the blood traces found in the flat have revealed it probably came from a man from north-eastern Europe, The Times reported last week.
The McCanns refused to discuss the report today, but Mrs McCann told El Pais: “That the samples could correspond to another person is not that surprising.”
Mr McCann also strongly defended the friends the couple were dining with on the night Madeleine went missing.
Dr Russell O’Brien, 36, was forced to issue a statement yesterday condemning “completely untrue and extremely hurtful” smears about him published in the Portuguese press.
Mr McCann told El Mundo: “We know the police have to investigate all possibilities. But what remains clear is that we have not the slightest doubt in and fully trust our friends.”
It was reported today that police have advised the McCanns to stay in Portugal in case there is a major development.
A spokeswoman for the family said she was aware of the reports, but stressed that the couple are not suspects and can return to Britain whenever they choose.
Mr McCann plans to travel to Scotland on Friday to speak at the Edinburgh Festival the following day.

It is possible the news at the above link has little new to offer some of you. I don’t know how to make the link where it can be clicked.
August 28th, 2007 at 6:52 am
No way Mr. McCann, knowing the ins and outs of probabilities, would think he could pull off what is now being suggested in the news.
Harder to believe is that Gordon Brown would want to fall from grace defending a cover up involving a little child.
NO NO NO something isn’t right here.
Stephanie knows none of this could be true.
I’ll be back and include a link.
August 28th, 2007 at 6:48 am
Richard hey ho If any chance the new info is true, why is it that the British like to get the Americans involved in scams?
August 27th, 2007 at 11:45 am
hmm, got it - it’s Brian.

Yairssssss,Tracker did you drink the bong water?
August 27th, 2007 at 10:44 am
erm…. tracker, I try and spend a little more time with posts when I suspect that the writers first language is not English, since they may have embedded facts in sentences that don’t really make too much sence. Unfortunatly though, this was complete and absolute twaddle. It makes no grammatical sence whatsoever. I can only assume you either passed it through a translator (babelfish) or you are hypoglycemic.

I have checked out the locations and paid for this myself, police knew at the time. It is over 150 feet as pedometer showed walking the route I had to to get to the Tapas Bar. Only by using a measuring device can you say how many meters it is. I still do feet and inches as I work on paces from military training days.
The things the witness, the old lady said were told to me by five different locals with similiar accounts, one of which must have been the family staying with this lady as they talked to me in a private hotel some way away. It was five weeks after the child went missing.
It was my view seeing the playpark opposite on the corner of the main road that she could have walked out and hidden as she did before in that region where the toys are. Or she could have been the victim of a hit and run and the person panicked due to the observed timelines of the cars, and taxis having to take this 500 metre route to the reception desk of the Warner facilities passing all the underhung apartment doors as 5A to 5D. Press were billeted in the end complex near the road overlooking the large building site where two tennis courts are.
This is and was my own personal problem as it is the remains of a former similar old villa complex, and infrastructure, hides and cellers will remain there. One corner is shown on aerial view to be lush and that is the corner by directly opposite where I observed children as young as four and as old as 13 going under the corrugated six foot high fence. Yes, feet, I am five foot tall, and this is one foot higher than me. We evaluate measurement often as Ian Brady, the Moors Murderer does in how we measure distance. He also uses paces of his own validity.
Madeleine is said on Brians Dreams to be near three tennis courts on the aerial map sent. Checked it and could not find the landmarks he drew. The tennis courts to the right of Warner in a direct line to the student and poor housing flats to the beach front and bank show some of these features, and have two not three tennis courts.
Anyone playing tennis in these lots seen as taken up by the many Japanese tourists who asked me the way to some places such as the Dolphin Restaurant, Bull Inn, and Fortress would be able to see the children who come and play under the corrugated fence during the morning and early evening. There is a form of siesta time as the bars fill only at ten in the evening as observed where entertainment is, live entertainment and on till the two am time.
There is no great downturn in bookings due to thieves, nor is there because of paedophiles. The planes are full of largely families with small children that I have and do observe. The four star hotels are full, there is only two of them. There is however a problem with who you are sitting with, as none one wants to be in the news when on holiday and their hair is let down, or their children thrust in the camera lens. Hence it is causing unrest as sales in the shops and bookings forward are being hindered and it is a short season as some close at the end of the year. The new season starts after that I am told.
The most obvious place would be the upper tiers of the apartments as told the police and the family. Murat would and has taken bumbling tourists to his heart and helped as the locals tend to do, and did. What we take with us are our own ways of dealing with things which on holiday are diluted, our norms in life.
I therefore suggest that Madeleine was passed to someone she knew, and is either kept knowingly by someone nearby or has passed due to some event. That she is very near to the apartment in psychological sciences is obvious to all police and those who have been there with a trained eye.
August 26th, 2007 at 4:08 pm
Renee…… I for one care VERY much about Madeleine…. I can asure you I would not be reading all this crxx, if it wasn’t in the hope to pick up something decent, that just might be helpful……………..
August 26th, 2007 at 2:19 pm
any request made by robert morat to stop reporting speculation would have certainly been ridiculed nad ignored.
August 26th, 2007 at 2:13 pm
http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/broadcasting/a73765/mccann-stop-reporting-speculation.html
gerry has asked for less reporting on speculation…. since the abduction is still just speculation, what exactly is he saying?
There has, to my knowledge, been no evidence to suggest an abduction took place at all.
ergo he is asking for a blanket ban on all reporting?
moriarty, the plot thickens

Bulldog said…… i wondered how long it would be before you ridiculed or attacked me
If you call that an attack then you’re not much of a Bulldog. More like a big Wuss!
August 26th, 2007 at 1:20 pm
oh! no america is up early this morning!
Of course moderation is not Gerry, if you can,t be bothered to read back throught the last few posts then you can not expect to have any frame of reference.
August 26th, 2007 at 1:18 pm
does anyone on here actually care about madeleine as you all seem so intent on slating her parents which i agree they done something very very stupid and now their daughter is paying the price for it but slagging them off is not helping the little girl who has probably been murdered and god only knows what else
August 26th, 2007 at 1:14 pm
i dont think moderation is gerry just someone with their own opinion on things….i have been on brianspredictions and although im not a believer of this sort of thing i find him very interesting in what he says and if madeleine was mine i would want the areas he mentions checked even if i hd to do it my self its better than sitting there doing nothing i would not leave til it had been checked brian also offered to come out there himself he didnt want money just his flights paid he would sort out his own accomodation he said if he found her he would let the public decide which charities the reward could go to……………got to be worth a try dont you think …….. poor maddie i hope she is alive
August 26th, 2007 at 1:07 pm
hah! i wondered how long it would be before you ridiculed or attacked me when pressed with questions you didn’t want to be in the public eye. True to form. true to form.
August 26th, 2007 at 12:45 pm
Now you’re just being silly!!
August 26th, 2007 at 12:37 pm
the plot thickens
August 26th, 2007 at 12:36 pm
moderation, how long have you and Kate been swingers? I noted that you or kate have not denied being swingers and you have not attacked the press over this allegation and so I am now wondering if it is even true.
August 26th, 2007 at 12:29 pm
I have actually!! Loadsa hols there in a villa fairly near to the MW resort. I never expected it achieve such notoriety so I didn’t take too much notice of those sort of things.
The friends who own the villa are out there now but they’re really pissed off with everyone asking about the area. So, much as I want to ask, I haven’t just in case they don’t rent it to me again!
It was my interest in where it had occured that initially fuelled my interest in it. As in when you watch TV and shout ‘I’ve been there’.
August 26th, 2007 at 12:27 pm
This is more like it Gerry
http://shocked-blogger.blogspot.com/
August 26th, 2007 at 12:15 pm

August 26th, 2007 at 12:07 pm
Have you been there? Come on, I can find you a photo that shows it close by as well as a photo that makes it look in the distance. Don’t you photo edit your snaps??
luv Gerry. (oops let the cat out the bag)
