Madeleine McCann: In Morocco, Killed By Steps And The 6ixth Sense
MADDYWATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann.
DAILY EXPRESS front page: “MADELEINE: SHE IS IN MOROCCO. I saw her, says reliable new witness…but police says she fell down steps.”
A non sequitur to get the Madeleine McCann week underway.
THE WORLD’S BEST NEWSPAPER hears Samantha Peart say that she saw a girl who looked like Madeleine in Morocco on June 10. She reported it to police, who did “nothing”.
Mrs Peart’s husband is a “stockbroker”. Gerry McCann is a “consultant cardiologist”. Daily Express readers should insert there profession [here].
And the latest theory is that Madeleine died in an accident – she fell down some steps.
Can Madeleine cement her place as the Express’ new Princess Diana, who also died in an accident (?), the paper finds it hard to believe happened?
Page 4 and 5: “Now police say she fell down the steps.”
Page 5 is split in two: “SHE’S DEAD…” and “SHE’S ALIVE”.
DAILY MIRROR pages 4 and 5: Kate and Gerry McCann are “linked in anguish”.
THE SUN page 9: “150 DAYS, 150 NIGHTS…WE PRAY FOR MADDIE.”
Kate and Gerry McCann are in church. They go to church a lot. We always see them go. Father Keith Tomlinson asks: “I think I’m right it saying it’s been 150 days, 150 nights, since that terrible day…We pray for Madeleine and her family.”
“STEPS PLUNGE SLUR” – Portuguese police think Madeleine fell down a flight of stairs at their holiday flat. A “senior police source” says they are “100 per cent certain” the girl stumbled down ten steps head first. He adds: “The only thing to investigate is how the body disappeared.”
Says Clarence Mitchell: “It’s ludicrous. Leaks appear on a daily basis. It’s hurtful.” Mr Mitchell likes the word “ludicrous”.
DAILY STAR page 7: “KILLER STEPS – British cops claim Maddie fell to her death.”
“TV psychic offers help” – Colin Fry, star of TV show 6ixth Sense, says he can use his powers to track down Madeleine.
THE TIMES page 21: “A sacked maid seeking revenge is latest suspect over missing Madeleine.”
Sunday’s news hits the Times. The tip-off emailed to the official website of:
a) The McCanns
b) Prince Charles
c) Girls Aloud?
The answer is… (b).
Clarence House informed Scotland Yard, who informed Leicestershire police, who informed a journalist, who informed the world.
“Mother who buried child in garden to be deported to UK” – The Times sees fit to underscore the McCann story with the tale of Tracy McHugh, who secretly buried her newborn baby in her Florida garden.
DAILY MAIL page 6: “Now the Portuguese say Madeleine died in fall on a staircase” – but the Star says the cop making this slur is British?
DAILY TELEGRAPH page 11: “Madeleine died after fall down steps, say detectives” – Say Portuguese police.
The McCanns are in discussion to appear on US talk shows. To keep Madeleine in the news. Madeleine has not been spotted in the US. Not yet.
THE GUARDIAN and THE INDEPENDENT: No Maddy news.

I got struck by all this talk of paedophilia - and my limited knowledge tells me these people are most likely to have learnt this behaviour from the family and are also well aware of the public and moral abhorrence to such behaviour - so presumably would keep it secret and take their opportunities when they came? - see the wikipedia article also - are there really organised international gangs of paedophiles? I mean I could be wrong but isn’t this more likely to be a Dad or a Mum or an Uncle?
I’m not saying she wasn’t abducted by such just let’s all have a think about the nature of paedophilia before getting a picture of a likely monster in our heads when in fact they are in family’s all around us

Also in the abduction theory. If it was a pedophile ring . Why would they take a chance going into an apt that has a lot of activity. Parents supposedly checking up on the kids. A little chancy. They would be entering unknown territory . Think they would have a better plan than taking such a big risk at being caught. A robbery gone wrong, perhaps. (there is evidence of robbers)Someone should have seen something. Need more evidence of that, other than McCann’ and friends.

The abduction theory is a lesser of two evils in that there is hope she may still be alive?? Slim as that may be. The parents theory, she is gone. But , where, why and how? The evidence on the parents may have more credence. I am still not clear on how they did it? As for as thinking they were of good character and could not have possibly done this. It has been done before.

I agree with you on the childless couple that is why I said I am a realist.
Gerry McCann put that out earlier in this investigation.

Pedophilia is in my opinion “disgusting”. It is abnormal behavior in society as we know it. I would classify these people as deviant. Who should suffer under the harshest penalty the law allows. Which I hope this case is is bringing to bear the need for that.That being said, if we are discussing the abduction theory . Where is the evidence of an abductor? I may have missed that. But it seems the only people who have knowledge of an abducter is Gerry and his Friends.Need to be clued in on who else saw the abductor(s) Would like more evidence.
My problem with the parents is timeing. Cannot see how they could commit a crime and dispose of the body in the time frame alloted.

I cannot see why the paedophile theory “disgusts” you ? the thoughts of sex with children is abhorrent anyway but unfortunately, it is only too common and is the more likely reason for her disappearance in the first place.
The parents theory is also not beyond the realms of possibility as that also happens although I do doubt it in this case, I just think these two got caught out because it will be proven that they sedated the children regularly so that they didn’t interfere with their social life and this would be very damaging to their careers, so their interest is purely selfish and self-centred. They have already written Madeleiene off anyway in their gob-smacking statement about they feared they would still be considered suspects when they reach the first anniversary of her disappearance next year !!

..also the theory of abduction by a childless couple who wanted a pretty little girl of their own, doesn’t really hold enough water as there are Adoption Agencies with plenty of kiddies on their books

Sorry but if you were a “realist” you would accept that the paedophile ring abduction theory is the more real, you HOPE she was taken for sale to a childless couple but that’s a bit “fluffy ” and if that were the case, they would/should have taken the younger, more malleable siblings, not a 3/4 year old who would be more aware.
I don’t think it was anything to do with the parents or their gang of “swinging” mates either but, there are just plain mad things spoken about all that, paedophile abduction is the more likely I am afraid

The press released that theory about the disgruntled employee..I am certain that was evidenced in the email to Prince Charles. Problem with all of this, the press sensationalizes reports without evidence. Then it disappears. There are new dna reports expected soon. Ihave a sixth sense to disagree with you based on certain evidence. I hope I am wrong.
I am disgusted at the pedophile theory. I am disgusted at the parent suspect scenerio. The best scenerio is she was abducted by a childless couple. Unfortunately, i am a realist…

Not sure if said employee was disgruntled or not !! but he/she -
probably he, may just be involved with that kind of circle, where they take kiddies for God-knows-what. Let’s face it, Madeleine is not the only missing child over there !!
I think they are not necessarily murderer types but if they realised what they had on their hands, this guy could hardly drop her off somewhere to be found and go back to “the day job” because she would be able to point him out. What could he do ? leave his job ? no…I think they “dropped her off ” alright, down the nearest well…!!
October 8th, 2007 at 6:24 pm
Yes! I noticed the scratching of the ear and body twitching. Think he got in over his head..and now he can’t turn back.
October 8th, 2007 at 6:20 pm
Ann
Going back to the disgruntled employee…That is a conceivable abduction theory. As well as the robbery gone wrong. But..do these types fit the description of murderer?
Would think these petty types would drop her off and run….

I think the denial by G was more out of guilt for what they HAD done, because you could imagine what would happen to their reputations as Doctors if they were found guilty of drugging their daughter to the eyeballs just so that they could go out undisturbed and have a good old booze-up with their “swinging” mates !! He definitely displayed classic liar behaviour by scoffing and scratching his ear like that and his eyes were all over the place, not looking straight at the interviewer, head up and hands at rest on his lap or whatever, as he should have done. The more you watch it, the worse it gets.
October 8th, 2007 at 6:10 pm
Ann
Why the big denial on gm’s part as seen on youtube? If he (they) are only guilty of sedation..then why the cover up.
My problem is how they disposed of the body?If the McCann’s and friends were involved?
Still can’t see any evidence of an intruder?
October 8th, 2007 at 6:08 pm

…and I don’t believe she was murdered in the room, that was much later when they realised what they had on their hands. The problem they had is that there are zillions of pretty little fair-haired “Madeleiene look-alikes” out there but - with the eye blemish, categorically only ONE Madeleine !! Who would want to be found with that ? I have seen a very passable “Madeleine” or two in Tescos and my own Granddaughter, same age, looks very much like her at first glance so that’s why she had to be got rid of, Madeleine I mean - not Granddaughter but you knew that !!
October 8th, 2007 at 6:04 pm

What I think is this, she was taken by someone who works at the complex, who had seen them, knew their movements and would obviously know where they were staying, and also knew that the children were on their own a great deal of the time.
This person - I believe - was involved with at least one other person, and as I have already said, they realised they had made a monumental cock-up when the eye blemish was made known. People keep going on about why they didn’t take the twins instead of, or as well, but Madeleine “fitted the bill” more I think and I don’t even want to go there……
October 8th, 2007 at 5:51 pm
Ann.
Your observations may very well have merit..but..
If it was an intruder:
pre-meditated? opportunistic? pedophile?
why murder and not just drop child off and flee?
Is there evidence of an intruder?
October 8th, 2007 at 5:04 pm

…and furthermore I believe she was “drugged” but only in the sense that she was given a sedative, which she was, any doubts about that see “Youtube” video of Gerry’s denial, liar or what ?? She didn’t die from that as I have already said I believe, see above….but was sufficiently out of it not to kick up a fuss when taken

Well we are obviously unworthy beings whose opinions or otherwise are not worth a light, and anyway, I was under the impression that “debate” was where everyone puts forward their opinion but listens to, and discusses with others, the differences thrown up therein and leads to such enlightened utterances as “…oh! I hadn’t thought of it like that ! ” or ” I hadn’t seen it in that light” or ” maybe you are right and I thank you for showing me that view” but no…what we get is insults to our collective intelligence and withdrawal to a superior high-ground that doesn’t exist because he/she or it hasn’t got the mental balls to discuss any possibilities that others might come up with !!
For my own part, I think Madeleine WAS abducted, by person or persons unknown, I believe there were at least two persons were involved, I believe they found they had a “hot potato” when all the fuss was made about her eye blemish…worst piece of news ever let out of the bag, signed her death warrant there and then…so they dumped her, in water and she will be found, probably this month. Now let’s see what Alison Finch makes of that …oh…but she has gone and left us to our childish chat hasn’t she ??

It is odd that when certain opinions are written under the context of putting forth their understanding of the subject or lack there of .,they conclude with:
“Now I leave you to do what you enjoy the most talking about things you know nothing about.”
or
” Now I expect to be ignored as I do not fit into what you want to hear”
Sounds sadly defeatest and childlike in content.

I opened this email by mistake but now I would like to clear some things up, but I will say first that my experience shows that people can twist things to be what they want.
First of all I did not decide to leave this forum because the heat got too much. I am leaving because I’m sick of all the speculation and bitching. Secondly I did not say that I agree with leaving children alone at night, I said that I had done it ,albeit forty years ago when things were a little different. I never said anything about circumstances or even where we were so don’t judge me when you don’t know the facts and don’t come back saying that I shouldn’t have left my children alone under any circumstances when you don’t know anything.
To conclude I’d like to point out a few facts that no-one seems to have considered, leaving children alone at night and putting them in a creche during the day when you are on holiday would be considered strange behaviour by most people including myself but IT DOESN’T MAKE THEM MURDERERS. Now I will leave you to do what you enjoy the most talking about things you know nothing about.
October 8th, 2007 at 3:54 am
I know (not wonder) that most of the people posting here like they are talking to ‘friends’ are quite sad and have lives happier than you could ever imagine (in their own heads) & I wonder how many ‘real people ie those who have not found this bounty of abuse’ have ever let their kids go to the shop around the corner, thinking they are safe?). To continue to post messages without proper thought or evidence & blinkered to boot is much worse than not posting at all.
Quite frankly if you have so much time to devote to this issue then you are not living a normal life! If you are living your life & expecting to solve the disapearance of Madeleine from behind your computer screen seek help!
I now expect to be ignored as I do not fit into what you want to hear!

Winifred I’m afraid your wrong and On2U is right. The definition of evil is; ‘behaviour that does harm, is dishonest or fails to honor an agreement’ The Mccann’s score 2 out of 3 dont they? Their actions harmed Maddie, and parents have an unwritten agreement with their children that they will protect them. If Maddie was taken it was because she was alone.
Allison Finch found the heat to much and left the kitchen. Shes a lucky person that her children survived to adult hood. The sad bit is her children probably copy her and leave their kiddos alone. What she going to say if something happens to one of them? Will she still think that’s its alright to leave babies alone?
I have a child and I’m 57 and I made a lot of mistakes with my boy but i never left him alone . Why because it wasn’t safe. I cant understand why that is so difficult for some people to understand such a simple thing. leaving little children alone is morally if not legally wrong. And parents that do it should be prosecuted especially if the neglect leads to something like this. And On2 U is right Maddie and only Maddie is the victim here.
