Madeleine McCann: Robert Murat Innocent, Private Detectives & Kate McCann’s Hot Lips
MADDYWATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann.
DAILY MIRROR front page: “WE’LL FIND HER OURSELVES. Maddy parents bring in SAS private detectives”.
Kate and Gerry McCann have hired Control Risk Group, billed as a “crack security firm”, to find their daughter.
Page 5: “THE PROFESSIONALS” – There’s TV show in this. The Portuguese police could be the Keystone Cops, at least that’s what the tabloid press portrays them as.
“Millionaire ex-double glazing boss” is the mystery benefactor paying McCanns’ spokesman Clarence Mitchell’s wages. The former window cleaner owns Sale Sharks ruby union club. Look out for their new sponsor.
DAILY EXPRESS front page: “MADELEINE. ‘McCanns ARE LYING’ - Portuguese police says friends are in cover-up.”
Robert Murat is to be told he will not face charges. Kate and Gerry McCann will be the only named suspects.
“SMILING” – The WORLD’S GREATEST NEWSPAPERS leads with a picture of Kate McCann grinning.
Pages 4 and 5: “Kidnap? We just don’t; believe it.” It is reported in Portugal that an unnamed Irishman has come forward to say he was in the same place as the McCanns’ friend Jane Tanner. She told police she had seen a man carrying child dashing from the Ocean Club resort in the direction of Robert Murat’s home. The new witness says he saw no-one.
“’GUILT’ OF PARENTS - More than 60 per cent think the couple know what has happened to Madeleine.”
“WHEN KATE WAS HOT LIPS HEALEY” – 15 YEARS AGO Kate was nicknamed hot lips for her resemblance to Loretta Swit in TV comedy M*A*S*H. The Express has seen her Dundee University year book and the comments - “Kate was great fun”; “renowned for alcoholic binges and some ‘dance till you drop’ nocturnal activities”; “she was certainly more interested in going to the pub than she was in her studies” etc.
DAILY STAR front page: “MADDIE: PARENTS ARE LYING. Cops say McCanns & friends tried to frame suspect Murat.”
Pages 4 and 5: “McCANNS ‘ARE LYING’.”
A phone poll: “DO YOU BELIEVE THE McCANNS ARE LYING?” Let’s see if we can top that 60 per cent in the Star’s sister paper the Daily Express. Vote now and vote often.
THE SUN pages 12 and 13: “TWIN’S LIFT FOR MUM AND DAD.”
Kate and Gerry McCann are with son Sean. They have been to Mass. Kate sobs when Ave Maria is sung. Daughter Amelie is in nursery school. She is plying with the Cuddle Cat. She bursts into laughter, “her giggles rang around the building”.
DAILY MAIL front page: “Madeleine:
• Ex-SAS team joins hunt
• New sighting in Morocco
• Kate breaks down in church
• Police accused over forensics”
Page 8: “McCanns hire an ex-SAS team to hunt for Maddie.”
“Second witness supports sighting in Morocco” – Remember when Marl Pollard said she saw Madeleine in Morocco? Now we lean that a man also saw Madeleine in Morocco.
THE INDEPENDENT PAGE 17: “Murat no longer suspect.”
DAILY TELEGRAPH page 10: “McCanns hired detective firm with ex-SAS men”. Under Portuguese law, the McCanns are not permitted to carry out their own investigation in Portugal. But they can investigate in other countries.
THE TIMES front page: “McCann investigators” – McCanns hire private security firm.
Pages 12 and 13: “How they managed to turn campaign around.” The McCanns are “winning the propaganda war”. They have gone on the “offensive”.
A family source says: “It is for the police to prove they are guilty.”
GUARDIAN: No Madeleine news today.

Good morning everybody.
Everyday it’s getting more disgusting, the Mccanns are getting more disgusting. I don’t know if it’s the work of antichrist, lucifer, belzebub and satanas together or they are only sent by them.
Even there’s “only” one child missing, it’s growing to the biggest crime in history, with many helpers!!!
Mr Clarence Mitchell is covering a crime,and all the press, repeating his BLOODY LIES is helping to cover these criminals, helping to misslead the entire idiotical humanity.They all should get prosecuted and put into jail, Mitchell is a criminal inventing lies, covering up the crimes, creating more crime, like always and like Satanas he/they want to turn round our world, make white to black and black to white. Such people are able to do anything.
And as you see now coming up with ex SAS, famous for doing very dirty jobs. What do they want to do? Catch some investigators, whilst they are investing? Or are they used as guards for Maddies grave? defending the childs shrine from detectives.
I wouldn’t be surprised that these megagigatera criminals would try to get the British Navy on their side to bomb Portugal. Heil holy crime! We are not malicious and not blind, but vomiting soon ( like Russels child) from this human horror,… We have realised that they not only got rid of Maddie, but also are trying to burry ALL and ANY cristian moral.

I have been pondering overnight – What’s in a name?
Of all the names in the world – it had to be Madeleine!
There are huge links between the name and the south west of Europe, and curiously, Scotland. Many churches in France are called Madeleine, and are built on old Celtic sites of worship to – La Madeleine.
Yes folks, Dan Brown and the blinkin’ Da Vinci Code may have more to answer for than we thought – perhaps the Tapas 9 are all members of some far fetched secret society that took imbecilic Brown literally…….
Why couldn’t she have been called Sarah, or Kelly, or Tracey or something…..
September 24th, 2007 at 9:03 am
I totally agree milli!!
September 24th, 2007 at 9:04 am
oh 1 of the first
September 24th, 2007 at 9:04 am
Perhaps the SAS will take out any anti McC bloggers???????
September 24th, 2007 at 9:07 am
Anyway- rumour and gossip from the ground:
A freind of a McC employee said …..social services have stipulated that the twins should not be left alone with their parents - hence uncle McC living in!!!
Oh I love gossip!!!
September 24th, 2007 at 9:07 am
weren’t the sas available 4 months ago!?
Why now?
They must read this forum as a guide for the next days statements

2 to 11 except 8
You are all right.
September 24th, 2007 at 9:11 am
Great news, especially these two headlines:
DAILY EXPRESS front page: “MADELEINE. ‘McCanns ARE LYING’ - Portuguese police says friends are in cover-up.”
“’GUILT’ OF PARENTS - More than 60 per cent think the couple know what has happened to Madeleine.”
DAILY STAR front page: “MADDIE: PARENTS ARE LYING. Cops say McCanns & friends tried to frame suspect Murat.”
===================================================
If I’ve time, I’ll e-mail the editors of the ”Express’ and ‘Star’ to thank them for their coverage today.
The idea of Clarence Mitchell as the ‘PR expert’, allegedly ’succinct and with media savvy’ etc. has been blown to smithereens, as he’s authorised a series of obviously contradictory stories from McCann ’sources’ all week, making Team McCann look a complete laughing stock and making their guilt and complicit in a cover-up much more obvious than it was a week ago..
The McCanns should sack him now.
Sir Richard Branson should withdraw support now to avoid losing further credibility, etc.
Many thanks again to Anorak.co.uk for permitting the debate and thanks to all posters on this Forum who have been trying to unravel this web of deception.
There’s only one way back now for the Tapas 9 if they are not to spend the rest of their lives in prison or in tortured mental agony over their various roles in a killing (accidental or otherwise) and its cover-up, one of the greateat hoaxes ever perpetrated on mankind in history.
Confess now - and beg for forgiveness
September 24th, 2007 at 9:11 am
Another sighting in Morocco? Wonder if they will bother checking that out? If how long will it take?

If it werent for the fact i’d get in serious trouble
but i’d love to be a fly on the wall cameras on faces etc……..
when they are told they’ve found her !!!!
the 5% left in me that hopes knows its cruel
but if they are guilty it would surely be good to watch
September 24th, 2007 at 9:17 am
Madeleine alone with Kate all after noon — No NO NO!!! we were dancing on the beach….
…sorry no evidence on cc tv tapes…
OOOHHHH Madeleine was in the kids club until after 6 AND WE CAN PROVE IT…..
Another beach restaurant claims to have cctv footage of Madeleine that afternoon…
OOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHH - one of the tapas 9 NOW remembers that he popped by the McC’s appartmant at 7pm and was their when Maddiewas put to bed…..
I think the PJ are actually being very clever.. some of the press reports are deliberatley misleading to get the McC’sto respond…which ,of course, they are!!!

It was the site’s decision to remove all comments and close it to any new ones. Look it up if you don’t believe me. No one told them they had to do it.
September 24th, 2007 at 9:20 am
No edna - they continued to post other comments throughout that day. They had previousley closed their message boards but still allowed readers comments about stories.
September 24th, 2007 at 9:23 am
Tony Bennet… Oh to have such selective vision. Suggest you go out and buy the hard-copy of the papers and read the reports properly!!
In nearly every paper the tide is turning back to abdction. Yay!

20 milisoreja says (September 24th, 2007 at 9:17 am) re post 14 “It is the greatest hoax perpetrated on mankind started unpolitically”.
REPLY: Yes! Of course, I was forgetting Nero blaming the burning of Rome on the Christians - and the Reichstag fire of 1933, started by the Nazis, being blamed on Jew-supporting communists. Then of couse there were the ‘weapons of mass destruction, capable of bombing London to bits ‘within 45 minutes’…
Didn’t Blair on one notorious occasion make a freudian slip of the tongue and talk of ‘weapons of mass *distraction*’?
September 24th, 2007 at 9:26 am
On a southamerican page I was reading some comments:
somebody said: The story is boring. It’s chewed up by the press.
the answer was something like that: No, for us journalists it’s very interesting to observe and follow the Media War between GB and Portugal and how it develops.
September 24th, 2007 at 9:27 am
Portugal, 3rd May
Kate: “Madeleine’s gone, Madeleine’s gone”
Gerry: “OK, quick, call Sky News, book a trip to see the Pope, get a list of all the chat show hosts in Europe, launch a website to collect Paypal donations and make an appointment at my hairdresser - I need a haircut.”
Kate: “But shouldn’t we look for Madeleine”
Gerry: “Look for her? No, no. Leave that. We’ll hire an ex-SAS team in 5 months time.”
September 24th, 2007 at 9:28 am
I had a dream last night.
I was Kate.
There was the most amazing suffering.
I think we must all realize that either way
these people are going through hell.
I think if there was abduction then there could still be some degree of hope.
Even if a so called smear was launched again.
But to have accidentally killed her must shatter the very core of your being.
Being the mother of six I know how our children’s become the basis of ours.
I want truth and yet I am also willing to offer forgiveness.
Speak out now Kate - ATONEMENT.
Let is all come out and in that out breath, you may find redemption.
If it is true that everything is Gods will then
The only one who should ever be on trial is God.
September 24th, 2007 at 9:28 am
Yeah, shouldn’ Mrs McCann walk around with a JoyStick rather than a bible?
September 24th, 2007 at 9:29 am
23 Moderation says (September 24th, 2007 at 9:23 am) Tony Bennett “…Oh to have such selective vision”.
REPLY: Unlike the McCanns and most of the press until now, eh? At least I have ‘vision’. I have opened my eyes. Have you?
