Madeleine McCann: Her Last Words, A Play For Today And The Killer Intruder
MADDY WATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann
DAILY EXPRESS front page: “MADELEINE – DNA SECRETS LOCKED AWAY”
“A piece of lining from the couple’s hire car is being held in high-security storage at a laboratory in Birmingham”
Page 7: But just last week “sources close to the McCanns” said the couple’s tests on their Renault Scenic hire car – in which Madeleine’s body is alleged to have been carried – found “no DNA evidence linked to Madeleine”
But the “McCanns’ scientists” haven’t been able to check all the car – not the boot lining
Says the McCanns’ spokesman Clarence Mitchell: “We do not believe that this affects the results of our tests at all…The piece retained by the Forensic Science Service is extremely small. If anything has been found on it there is a wholly innocent explanation for it”
Says Madeleine McCann: “As she was being tucked up in bed, she said: ‘Mummy, I’ve had the best day ever. I’m having lots and lots of fun’”
“Intruder ‘had to silence her’” – A “chilling” account in Portuguese paper Publico says the intruder “probably suffocated her in an act of panic”
“’My girl was taken as well’” – Agents of Metodo 3 are investigating a link between Madeleine and Joana Cipriano – more on her here
Pages 30-31: “More extracts from the Daily Express’ book Madeleine: A Most Heartbreaking And Extraordinary Disappearance, aka Madeleine: The New Diana
DAILY MAIL front page: “MADELEINE – Was she killed by intruder INSIDE the apartment?”
Well..?
Page 5: “Madeleine ‘killed as she screamed at pervert prowler’”
The intruder is in the McCanns’ apartment… “Fearing that her cries would raise the alarm, he violently silenced her - accidentally killing her - and then grabbed her body and escaped, according to the new theory”
What evidence?
“Respected” Portuguese newspaper Publico has carried out a “chilling recreation of the supposed chain of events”. In Theory No. 432b the man seen by Jane Tanner is carrying a dead child. This theory is “gaining increasing strength at the centre of the police investigation”. More theories…
Publico notes: “An unexpected event thwarted the prospect of desire. A shout from the British child awakened from her sleep. The fear that she would be heard, the urgency to silence her, the violence, probably the suffocation and the unexpected death. All this is in minutes. Now one would have to take her out of there, close the door, escape quickly”
Intermission – ices, popcorn and a vital break for the toilet…
Says Clarence Mitchell: “We do not believe that this is what happened to Madeleine. There has been no evidence to suggest this happened in the apartment at all”
“CAR MAT MYSTERY” – Not only the boot lining but also “several other secret samples” are hidden away at the Forensic Science Service laboratory
“A LINK TO JOANA?” – Metodo 3 are looking over old cases, hunting for a clue, a new press release, a new lead…
DAILY MIRROR page 11: “’Perv killer of Maddy’”
More from Public’s play for today
THE SUN front page: “COPS’ SHOCK NEW THEORY – PAEDO ‘KILLED MADDIE’”
PAEDO!!!
Pages 4 and 5: A pervert sneaked into Madeleine McCann’s holiday apartment – and killed the terrified tot to shut her up when she screamed, police now believe”
PAEDO!!!
Back to Publico’s Maddy Play - Act 2:
Publico: “It would be easy for an intruder to get into the apartment to touch and smell the fragile little blonde girl with big eyes. It took an instant, but his warped sexual desire was thwarted when she shouted out
“So he had to shut her up. He turned on her and probably suffocated her in an act of panic”
Gerry McCann is a “heart surgeon” and Kate a “GP”. The McCanns live in a £500,000 house in Rothley, Leicestershire”
Such are the facts
DAILY STAR page 9: “MADDIE: VITAL DNA IS LOCKED AWAY IN SAFE – McCanns team has not seen car clues”
Why should the suspects get access to all evidence being compiled, possibly against them? Is it now standard practice for the defendant to read the police notes as the case is developing?
“Quiz for tapas friends”- Police to question the McCann’ co-diners
DAILY TELEGRPAH page 17: “Police ‘U-turn over Madeleine theory’”
“Madeleine McCann was killed by a paedophile in a moment of ‘thwarted desire’ before being taken from her Algarve holiday apartment, police investigating her disappearance believe, it has been claimed”
Publico: “All over in minutes. Now he had to get her out of there. Close the door. Flee as fast as he could”
And links to another case: Joana Cipriano, 8, disappeared from her home in the Algarve village of Figueria, 10 miles from Praia da Luz in September 2004. She has never been found. Her mother Leonor, 36, and uncle, Joao, 35, were convicted of murder after Ms Cipriano confessed to the crime during police questioning. She later retracted her confession, claiming it was forced during a beating by detectives, but was found guilty and sentenced to 16 years in jail. Her lawyers claim she is innocent and are appealing”
THE SCOTSMAN: “Just how much vilification do they have to suffer?”
“You have to hope that Kate and Gerry McCann stopped reading the papers a long time ago, that they have their news filtered though the calm compassion of Clarence Mitchell, the former BBC journalist turned family spokesman”
THE TIMES, THE GUARDIAN and THE INDEPENDENT: No Madeleine News today

The TimesNovember 15, 2007
“Cloned embryos have been created from an adult monkey for the first time, leading scientists to speculate that cloning human embryos using stem-cell therapies is a significant possibility.
The success in the United States, which has been verified by independent scientists, provides the first proof that viable cloned embryos can be produced from primates, which many experts had feared would be so technically demanding that it would be impossible to achieve.
Though further work is required before the technique can be applied to human cells, it suggests that it will be feasible to clone embryos from the DNA of living patients, and to derive working stem cells from them. These embryonic stem (ES) cells could then be transplanted to treat diseases such as Parkinson’s and diabetes without fear of rejection by the body’s immune system. The cells could also be used to study these conditions in the laboratory and to develop new treatments.
Such therapeutic cloning has been a goal for medical research since the birth of Dolly the sheep was announced in 1997, but that initial hope has been tempered by the apparent complexity of primate cloning”.

Are you all just sitting there twiddling your thumbs trying to think of something to say ? If not - can you just enlighten me, are the cops now trying to claim Maddie screamed ” Paedo ! ” ? and if so , where do they think a three-year old got that word and that understanding from ??

I dont think the PJ are claiming that M screamed anything. Its a load of rubbish. According to the McCanns, the abductor managed to drug the twins without a problem - more rubbish IMO.

Daily Express comments from Anorak thread lead:
“As she was being tucked up in bed, she said: ‘Mummy, I’ve had the best day ever. I’m having lots and lots of fun.’”
“Intruder ‘had to silence her’” – A “chilling” account in Portuguese paper Publico says the intruder “probably suffocated her in an act of panic.”
What? Kate killed her just for saying THAT ?!?!

Likewise, as is everything to do with the case except the basic fact that a child has gone…who knows where ??

Kate and Gerry McCann’s claim that forensic tests on their Renault hire car have cleared them of involvement in their daughter Madeleine’s disappearance cannot be true, according to a report in the London Evening Standard today.
The report claims that the key evidence from the car - a portion of boot lining – is locked in a high-security facility at the Forensic Science Service laboratory in Birmingham and has never been made available to scientists hired by the McCanns. Those scientists must have examined the wrong material, the paper claims.

As Soothsayer said last night, do you really think that the McCann would have access to evidence that the PJ have. Especially with the MCCanns fascinatinion with washing everything.
November 27th, 2007 at 8:33 am
What I am having a hard job understanding is why the McCrims had children in the first place ? and apparently struggled so hard to get them with IVF . Do you think it was actually Gerry who felt he wanted children ? you know - all the “carrying on the name” thing ? because Kate sure as eggs is eggs doesn’t come across like any kind of a Mother to me !!
I am bringing up a Grandson, and have been so for the last 13 years since he was 3, whose Mother ( and I use the word with much reluctance ) has the caring and mothering instincts of an amoeba, actually - that’s probably an insult to amoeba-kind, but she makes my jaw drop as far as whenever I hear Kate McCrim speak because of her complete and utter lack of understanding as to what it actually means to have a child, to bring another human being into the world and then she was just going to dump him on Social Services because she got fed up with him basically, done that, been there don’t like this dolly any more. Perhaps Kate McCrim got fed up with all the hassle of bringing up a hyper-active kid of whom it has also been speculated as having everything from autism to ADHD, my Grandson has ADHD and it is a trial at times I can tell you, bloody hard work, takes a bit of dedication and self-sacrifice, and I don’t actually get the time to go jogging, playing tennis, sitting by a pool in a Tapas Bar and so on, but he just got 9 GCSEs so we must be doing something right !!

This will give you a laugh before I go to work – late. Damn this addictive website!

“Dear McCanns, dear fellow supporters, as we all deeply wish to bring Madeleine back to where she belongs and take her away from a hopefully not too bad location, I - like many of you - am trying to find constructive ways to help. In the current situation, I feel that all of us
should set a sign by donating a (small) new amaount of money to the Madeleine Fund and explicitely state that that money is given to the McCanns for them to decide to do with it whatever they feel is necessary to find Madeleine - including paying of bills of what so ever and including of what so ever (in the perspective of some people) awkward use it may be utilized ! Whatever the McCann family feels (whatever they feel !!!) may be helpfull for them to find Madeleine in what so ever aspect can be done with the money I added ! I have added some money to the fund a few days ago and I deinitivly state that I put this money into the fund according to the upper condition, which leaves it entirely open to the McCanns: I would like to ask my fellow supporters to do the same thing! Please add a small but symbolic amount and write some words like mine here to help concentrate on the main issue which is: WE NEED TO HELP MADELEINE ! and let us not be fooled by the media which is acting accoring to their pittyfull moneydriven rules of presenting something hot (which has its positive side, as Madeleine stays in the media - but lets not get fooled and lets keep the focus on how each of us can help Madeleine). In the current situation even the smallest amount (and everyone could for example send a few pounds and drink a beer or cafe less) as a symbolic donation together with a statement like mine above will be very helpfull. Maybe just copy that statement as a blueprint of your own together with the plea to the support comunity to make this symbolic donation, so that more people will read it once new support messages will be on top and move this one further behind. So then your message will incorporate this suggestion as well. Madeleine needs our help, everybody can afford a few pounds and send them by paypal. Lets help her as good as we can ! “

This is so ironic and amusing. Strange how someone can make so many spelling mistakes and yet use words like ‘explicitly’, ‘symbolic’, ‘utilised’, ‘incorporate’, ‘blueprint’, ‘upper’ etc. (Did manage to spell ‘necessary’ though – and ‘money’!) Definightly sounds like Gerry!
I’m off to make a donation.

What worries me is that the evidence is in England and not in Portugal. It should be guarded by Portuguese police at least. The McScums seem to have cleverly avoided many possible “nailings ” already due to friends in high places. Just how far do you think the government will go to help keep them in the clear?

I think they have got enough support already.
November 27th, 2007 at 8:41 am
Why is it so certain it was Kate? What about Gerry??? He could have lost his temper, maybe even done it when he went to check on them, maybe (doubtful) Kate doesnt even know the truth herself………………..
November 27th, 2007 at 8:43 am
Anyone who continues to donate to a fund wich has no intention of (and never has) actually helping the victim that it was set up for, needs to go and see a special doctor !
I fail to see how the Find Madeleine Fund has EVER done ANYTHING constructive to search for her! I mean c’mon t-shirts, wrist bands, etc …. she’s not a frikkin pop star ….. she’s a missing child for dammit sakes!
November 27th, 2007 at 8:45 am
21 - Julie - Agreed!
November 27th, 2007 at 8:46 am
Tracey,
Very good question! The problem is we do not know why the goverment would want to protect them, although there are a few theories. A powerfull person could also put pressure on the goverment, but again why. Blackmail?
November 27th, 2007 at 8:49 am
As I said yesterday,it is assumed that Maddie was moved on the trip to spain 3rd of august if I’m correct. But & only but ,what if the body was moved sooner say when they went to Rome,they hired the car the day befor that trip. they go to Rome and Tanner &O’Brian move the body,I have read some where that they stayed on at PDL for a while, this could maybe acount for those miles on the car.ALL imo.
November 27th, 2007 at 8:51 am
15 anne, agree.
November 27th, 2007 at 8:55 am
Would anyone like to send me some money to help pay for my house?

Morning all- on the subject of IVF, Madeleine being a difficult child.
Madeleine will have been just over a year old when Kate started her next round of IVF which takes about 4-6wks. The tension and strain on a woman going through IVF is horrendous(don’t have first hand experience but wathched a few documentaries on the subject). The hormonal imbalance , mood swings, tiredness etc would make any small baby hard to cope with so was Madeleine actually a difficult child or was Kate unable to cope due to the strain of IVF.
The Mcs also seem to have been very lucky with their attempts at IVF as I wouldn’t imagine there were time for a failed attempt inbetween Madeleine and the twins ,due to the young age of Madeleine when the next attempt was started.
The success rate in the UK using fresh eggs not frozen is
28.2% for women under 35
23.6% for women 35-37
Can’t find any figures for a woman having two successive successful IVF attempts.
November 27th, 2007 at 8:57 am
Blackmail would work - if Gerry - with his work - was so involved with government officials , surely he would get to know a few things that the rest of the public should never find out about. You know, you tell your friends things sometimes and never think they might use it against you…..
Oh, read how Riley’s mom killed her. Poor little baby, close eyes and have a moment of silence for the poor little sole who died in such a violent way
November 27th, 2007 at 9:06 am
I’ve been reading up on the absolutely shocking story of Riley Ann Sawyers. It sickened me to the point that I had to close the report I was reading before I’d finished.
One thing that caught my eye was the fact that these two sickos had gone to Wal-Mart and purchased all the items needed to dispose of this little child in the horrifying way that they did. However, one item that they purchased was BLEACH!
Now considering that they alledge that Riley was murdered on 24 July and when they found her little body at the end of October, the police maintained that she’d been dead for approximatly 2 weeks (when in actual fact she’d already been dead for almost three months). Obviously they used the bleach to slow down the decomposition process? Anyone know if this is possible? If this is the case (I believe they stored her body in an outside room for almost two months - obviously soaked in bleach!), then it is very possible for a body to be stored for quite some time! Get’s one thinking now ………
RIP little Riley Ann Sawyers …. NO child deserves to die the way you did. They need to throw the psychos that did this to her into a bath filled with acid and let it eat away at them slowly, bit by bit and very, very painfully ….. bastards!

Do you have the necessary fund set up, and have you “misplaced” your child?
