Madeleine McCann: The Age Of Jose Anes, Gerry McCann’s Fury And Murat’s Nannies Know Best
MADDYWATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann.
THE SUN: “No one will ever stand trial”
Because no one has been charged with any crime?
Or: “NOBODY will EVER stand trial over missing Madeleine McCann because cops made so many vital blunders,” says the Sun. And so too says Jose Anes, 62: “Mistakes in the early hours demolished the entire case”
The ex-director of Lisbon’s police lab is “Portugal’s top forensic expert”, a billing the lab’s current director may dispute
Mr Anes says: “If the scene is not preserved in the first hours, all the hours of effort that follow are useless. I am utterly convinced — unless some new, concrete evidence suddenly emerges — the case will never reach trial”
But what of the evidence gathered so far, like the DNA samples found in the McCanns’ hire car?
“Maddie sniffer dog ‘was rigged’” - Gerry McCann is “FURIOUS” – as often he is. He “believes sniffer dogs used to find Maddie clues in the family’s hire car were MANIPULATED by cops”
Says a “source close to the couple”: “Gerry says a dog went up to the Scenic, sniffed around and went to head off. He watched the dog being brought back to the vehicle. Finally, it reacts around the boot area. Gerry was open-mouthed at that, he feels the dog was manoeuvred into a position where it could react”
And smell
“Murat pals ’saw him near flat’” – “SUSPECT Robert Murat was PALS with British holiday nannies who say they saw him the night Maddie vanished, it has emerged”
Good friends? “And at least two of the girls knew him well enough to be on first name terms”
That’s close, eh
“A source confirmed yesterday that he did befriend several girls, adding: ‘A lot are attractive and he made a beeline for them. When they were asked who was near the apartment that night, several mentioned Murat”
DAILY MAIL: “Madeleine: Forensics expert says inquiry is ‘complete waste’ because of police blunders at apartment”
Says Jose Manuel Anes: “Huge amounts of money were spent but if, in the first hours, the due precautions for the preservation of the crime scene were not taken, all this hard work goes down the drain. We can spend rivers of money which will all go down the drain if the crime scene is not properly isolated”
The McCanns’ spokesman Clarence Mitchell says: “It is alarming to hear that Mr Anes has this view. All we want, and have done throughout, is to ensure the operational police side of this has been done in an effective and efficient manner as possible”
And why is Mr Anes – “the 62-year-old” - speaking out now? Because he’s making his comments known in a book called The McCanns’ Guilt – not that the case will ever, come to trial, you understand
“Madeleine: Gerry’s fury at ‘bungling’ dog handlers” – More Gerry McCann fury
DAILY STAR: “MADDIE COPS HIDE WITNESS”
Says the paper: “The key witness in the Madeleine McCann inquiry was in hiding last night after fleeing Portugal” – Jane Tanner? Kate McCann? Gerry McCann? No, the unnamed Portuguese tapas waiter…
“Pals say he is terrified his identity is about to be revealed and claim he is also scared of British and Portuguese government influence in the probe…Friends add that he is worried about the private eyes hired by Gerry and Kate McCann, both 39, to help find their daughter”
One former work colleague of the waiter says: “He does not want to be involved in any of this. Through no fault of his own he finds himself at the heart of this worldwide mystery”
DAILY EXPRESS: “MADELEINE: WITNESS GOES ON THE RUN ‘TO PROTECT HIS EVIDENCE’”
“THE key witness in the missing Madeleine McCann case was in hiding last night after fleeing Portugal”
“POLICE WERE ‘SIDETRACKED’ BY MCCANNS” - Former police crime scene chief Jose Manuel Anes is “ONE of Portugal’s top forensic experts”
The WORLD’S GREATEST NEWSPAPER investigates. Mr Anes is “71”
And “last night hinted that Kate and Gerry McCann were partly to blame for the flawed investigation into their daughter’s disappearance”. Although the Sun says it was those bungling Portuguese police (see above)?
“They should not have been thinking of the poor little parents but I understand the human dimension and the pressure which immediately involved the investigators. Sometimes the police are too human. The police must be absolutely objective. Somebody’s suggestions and complaints connected to a person’s disappearance should be set aside while the evidence is being gathered. In the moments immediately following the occurrence the goal is to gather everything and preserve everything”
Not bungling, rather too caring; too human
DAILY MIRROR: “McCann DNA clue ‘useless’”
Jose Manuel Anes is 62. He is the retired head of Portugal’s police science laboratory.
He tells the Mirror, and everyone else: “I fear the case will never reach trial” - and even if it did, no jury would be able to convict anyone.
BBC: Audience for BBC News 24 peaked in 2007 at 8.2 million in the week ending 1 July for the bomb attack on Glasgow Airport and at 7.9 million for the story of the kidnapping of Madeleine McCann in the week ending 13 May

Shift over off to bed looks like the tide is turning against anyone being charged. No justice for Madeleine God bless her.

McCann is not only a high-level Freemason but also belongs to the ultrasecret Knights of Malta, the secret society of the so-called Black Nobility of Europe. In other words, Gerry’s a** is well covered.
Bush isn’t Catholic so not a Knight, but his family are Masons, and the Masons and the Knights have some common roots. Apparently Bush didn’t meet with Gerry personally but had a Dept. of Justice (Gonzales?) meet with him. Gonzales IS Catholic so may be a Knight.
Based on the above, I predict there will be no justice in this case.

“What explains the unrelenting, saturation coverage? Interest is not confined to Britain; when I wrote about the McCanns before, I received requests for interviews from a dozen or so overseas media, all desperate for fresh angles. The answer surely lies in reader demand. Most parents have experienced the McCanns’ quandary of how long to let small children out of your sight, if at all. The lack of reliable information further enhanced the story, allowing every reader to play the sleuth, in a grisly, real-life version of Cluedo - with no theory, including a conspiracy (the Tapas Nine), too outlandish to be considered.
For months, cyberspace has been full of this stuff. The traditional sources of editors’ knowledge about “what people are talking about” were their chauffeurs and domestic servants. A casual aside by the cleaning lady could send a dozen reporters scurrying across the country. Now, thanks to the internet, editors can stay permanently tuned to national, even international, gossip. If you don’t like what’s in the papers, blame the readers, not the journalists.”

Well now………………Christine said that the person who took Madeleine probably worked at the complex, “smelt of beefburgers”, and she - Madeleine - had seen him, knew him. We had thought this might be a kitchen hand but it could be a waiter because they go in and out of kitchens collecting their orders and will end up smelling of whatever is cooking, believe me - I know as I have done this prestigious job !!
To be charitable, this guy might want to hide, having seen the devastating effect on the life of Maria Walzcuch, or he may be soiling his underwear because he may just be found out.
The waiters at the complex would know what guests are staying there, and in which apartments, and would know their regular movements., especially if there was a regular large party as in the Tapas 9. They would also be more observant if they were planning to abduct, and this guy - whoever he is - was clearly working with others.

All a bit recycled this morning, Gerry should talk to Clarence about using ‘fury’ - its making Gerry look a little filled with pent up violence. They should use that photograph where Gerry is watching Sean, not sure why Amelie isnt in that one, but Madeleine ‘hops by’ unnoticed - a family scene showing his softer side - that needs to be more widely seen. Id cut out the guy with the crooked foot though.
I’ve noticed that Pro McCanns love it when we here that ‘the crime scene was not secured’ and ‘nobody will ever be charged’.
Watch the reactions carefully, we all know who they are by now.
The Sun (as usual) misses the point - the crime scene not being secured was because the McCanns knew what they were doing. It seems that the apartment was scrubbed meticulously (but missed a little bit under a tile under a sofa) well before everyone was allowed in to ‘look under the bed’ (my quotes).

sounds like a scoobydoo plot
we just need to unmask him

And he might join the SAS as his incredible sub 5 minute abduction feat would carry his CV to interview no problem! Get rreal Ann, he is the waiter who knows too much for the McCann camp, I’d be scared if M3 were rampaging around bribing and slandering people.

Cant you just see Gerry saying ‘And I’d have got away with it if it werent for you darn pesky PJ’

********************************
Why ? no-one else on here shuts up their speculative drivel and waffling about doctored photos and the like !!! Christine is not a crank and I fail to see how you could “see” her on here anyway.
We will await the outcome of the investigations down the “mine-shaft” and so on. If it makes you feel better, I will back off completely and just “pop in” to see what everyone is dribbling on about and then….when the child is found ….if there is any similarity, or rather - any FURTHER similarity to what Christine has already said…just give me a shout and I will return, either to take the ridicule for having believed what she said or to take the accolades on her behalf, for the clarity of her vision. You might also try remembering that she has been talking about “dilapidated farmhouse” since Day One - the barn is near enough IMO, so that’s Point One , “clues to follow” ( the towel) is Point Two, so the next bit about “still water” could very well mean at the bottom of the mine-shaft so I will now leave you to your trolling and see you all later …!!

*******************************************
Thanks, that’s nice ! It is just that people seem to expect Chris to come up with explicit details , she can only give what she is “given” and I have a book full of transcripts of her previous readings for me, which have caused Best-Beloved to pop his eyes more than a few times over the years and he is Mr Scepticism-Personified. I even get people who say things like “…if she knows so much, why hasn’t she won the Lottery ? ” That sort of thing doesn’t happen, you are not supposed to gain from this gift, especially where kids are concerned, which is why she has made it clear from the outset that all those rewards that were offered are of no interest to her and all she wanted was to guide people in the right direction to find the child.
Standing in the queue in “Somerfields” yesterday, I overheard an elderly couple discussing the front page of yesterday’s “Express” and the woman said ” I see they are looking down a well now - bet that will be wet down there” no…they are allegedly looking down a mine-shaft, Christine got “still water” and thought of wells or reservoirs which is why she got all hyper when those Detectives started searching such places so you see what I mean ? The info is sort of there but the details are not quite so clear. To my way of thinking, a mine shaft with water at the bottom is near enough a “well” for me but won’t be for Mr Nit-Picker, Ian, but - having said that, Chris also says she got steps or a ladder and couldn’t understand why they would be in a well.

Does anybody really think a waiter would be interviewed several times and then hidden away only because of his “they’ve taken her”-testimony, maybe in addition to a “they didn’t check as often as they pretended” testimony? If this were a “critical” witness against the McCanns, then I don’t want to know what the “more circumstantial” evidence might be worth.
So if the police are focussing on a waiter, I guess it is not for the reasons suggested in the papers.
Remember that we have meanwhile learned from several independent sources that “witnesses” have been grilled by the police (Mrs. Walzcuch, Mr. Oldfield, even the McCanns while they were not officially suspect). This gives me a hint about the nature of the allegedly repeated interviews with the alleged waiter.
December 18th, 2007 at 8:49 am
another load of bollox about a waiter witness, anywhere else you would get arrested for tampering with a witness, but not in this case cause they aint got no friggin witness.
December 18th, 2007 at 8:52 am
Ann - I think Ian is one of thousands who do not believe in that kind of thing. \Its the same as this case, you have anti’s pro’s and on the fence’s, but all have as much input into a debate as each other. As far as psychic’s, I also find it very hard to believe, but, I am interested in it all. I for one would love to speak to a true psychic, but many are just scammers who want to make money out of it, and who have no real gift at all.
It will be interesting to see the outcome of the whole thing, if we ever do get to see that, and see how accurate Christine was. I guess people who dont believe her now, may well change their minds should she be right.

=======================================
I appreciate Team McCann’a desire to come up an alternative suspect, but this looks to be a desparate last-ditch effort.
Is there any evidence at all that a waiter has fled Portugal? You’ll forgive me if a I don’t regard a tabloid ‘pal’ as holy writ…
