Firstly ,Cheryl, the poster was NOT being castigated, she was being asked or requested to bring a sense of balance to her post, and include all 3 arguidos in any resulting discussion. The Press was heavily laden all weekend with reports that Murats family is still under suspicion, and that his daughter is receiving medical attention because of all attention. Or do you not see that as fires raging?

You also posed why is Tony Bennett not being castigated, well as we were not castigating the poster involved, and Tony Bennetts postings are another matter, could we enquire as to whether you know who and what is being discussed behind the scenes?

REPLY: “Fires raging” against Murat - quite frankly a fire is burning yes but raging as destructively as against the McCanns absolutely not! Castigating may have been too strong a word, and I stand corrected to be so incorrect as to use such a harsh word as to how I perceived it to be, to describe your what “asked or requested”, to a poster to bring a sense of balance on here. However, I repeat - I’ve seen no such asking or requesting of TB on here over the outright inflammatory listings he posted.

As I would treat them Ann, they have enough to deal with without the cranks!

“Remember they requested all the holiday makers to send in theirs [photographs] too
In the guise of looking for a predator
but maybe as to check for any of her /them .”

Ah, good point. Probably at first the McCanns incredibly told the police that they did not have any, and yet weeks later came up with that “last photo”.

Contradictions in their private statements to police are likely even more numerous than we are aware.

Another thought I had is that maybe the PDL priest knows what happened not because of the McCanns’ confession, but because of someone else’s confession. Maybe a T9 member (or non-member) made a confession, either sincerely repenting, or as a ploy to leak out the truth. I do not think the McCanns would confess, even privately to a priest.

I agree they must have had a digital camera between a flock of doctors!

without her
with her dressed up
with her crying
on her on her own
that last time of the day photo by the pool
ie the same date place and time but they’re not there!

“She is also holding some curling tongs!!!
at 3 years old!!?
very hot and dangerous”

Thanks for pointing that out. Not only is it dangerous, but the shot is another example of Madeleine as little girl being dolled up, and treated like an “adult” with cosmetics, etc. Was this her main activity, besides, er… never mind…

It’s creepy that the McCanns have so few “normal”-looking photos of the girl (and only a couple from a week-long vacation in Portugal). Looking at a collection of photos they have published, it does not even seem like they are trying to make her recognizable. One would not really know “which Madeleine” to look for. (answer: none of them, because there was no abduction, IMO)

I don’t know why but I have told him of our frustration that no-one took a blind bit of notice from the start and if they had followed half of what Christine said, the child might have been found sooner, possibly alive if they had moved quickly enough, but - sadly - more than likely dead.

I have done that because I think even he was frustrated about all the cock-ups and delays that are now evident, however, I do believe they will be met with the same thunderous silence as before ….but it makes me feel better !!

15 13 10 and 8

God they sound old now!

Another year of all that left anyway

I’ve told mine he will them in the porch this year!
bloody ruined even that for us now

Instead of going to bed and leaving it under the tree

I will have to get up about 4.30 and put it outside and stay awake with a baseball bat and sit on the stairs freezing!!!

I might just get a warm glass of water and pour it on their pants and get them up at the same time thinking about it

Surely this will terrify them!!!!!

I hope they think of this before opening the big gobs to those poor kids

I see Doctor Gerry’s latest blog says that his 2 year old children “have already enjoyed decorating the Christmas tree with their granny”. I hope they did not stick her on the top. Why not use tinsel like everyone else?

More questions are being asked about the investigation in to the disappearance of Madeleine McCann after reports that suspect Robert Murat was present at interviews with members of the so-called Tapas Seven.

It is claimed that Portuguese detectives let Mr Murat act as a translator during interviews with friends of Kate and Gerry McCann who were dining with the couple on the night their daughter vanished.

Days later the 33-year-old was named as an arguido, or official suspect.

The Daily Mirror said Mr Murat was allegedly present during the interviews of Rachael Oldfield and Dianne Webster.

However, a source close to the McCanns said it was understood that although Mr Murat did attend Ms Webster’s questioning, he was not present when Mrs Oldfield
was with police.

The McCanns’ spokesman Clarence Mitchell said: “We can’t comment on anything that’s contained within the police file and clearly records of interviews and who attended them make up part of that file.

“Any serious questions to be answered about the way the original interviews were conducted or who attended them will be central to our own private investigation, and the detectives who have been employed on our behalf will be looking into that.”

This is a picture I had not seen. Once again, clearly dark mascara has been used. They eyes are themselves darkened (by photoshop?) as in other pictures.

The same darkening occurs in other pictures, and is not resulting from the natural lighting. Is the purpose to hide the use of mascara and/or prevent us from ascertaining whether or not a coloboma or other eye condition is present?

Use zoom and you will see how unnatural the darkening appears.

Why have the McCanns only shown a couple of photos of Madeleine from supposedly a whole week at the resort? Why are so many photos they used for identifying her obviously from a year or more prior? Why do they hide the coloboma with photoshop? Why is mascara evident in most pictures (of Madeleine and of twins)?

That the McCanns are hiding something is obvious. I think they have tried to make Madeleine look younger than she really appearered at the time, because it was a younger girl that was actually attending the creche. I do not think Madeleine attended the creche even for one day. If this is true, the police should already know; they only have to show photos of all the girls to the nannies. So I’d assume they demanded the T9 to turn over all photos. I wonder what the McCanns said about Madeleine’s photos — oh, we accidentally deleted all of them…?…
