METODO 3′S BILL SO FAR: 414,000 EUROS (approx £275,000):

BRITISH OR U.S. DETECTIVES MAY NOW BE HIRED

Correos de Manha - 2007-12-24

Expenditure: More than 1 million euros

McCanns spend rest of the fund

QUOTE

The Spanish company of detectives Metodo 3 is about to be relieved of investigating Maddie’s case,after having charged 414 thousand euros to the fund to find the four year old.

The detectives promised that they would solve the crime by Christmas, but did not show results. The McCanns want to spend the remaining 898 thousand euros on other researchers.

The newspaper ‘Sunday Mirror’ said yesterday that the firm of Francisco Marco, contrary to their commitment, no longer gives exclusivity to this case and it is working on another investigation. The family now wants to hire British or Americans detectives.

So a million and three hundred thousand euros from Maddie’s Fund were spend, nonetheless the millionaire Richard Branson promised to continue to help. The couple is considering books and movies to obtain revenue.

1. The Irish potato blight in the 1840s was caused by an early form of Prussian biological warfare

2. Edward Heath was a paid German agent from World War II to his death, taking his instructions from Germans, and paid by a clandestine MI6-type agency called ‘DVD’ based in southern Germany

3. David Kelly (government scientist researching ‘weapons of mass destruction’ and who was held to have committed suicide) was murdered by Iraqi secret servcie agents.

Steer well clear

539 Cheryl (yesterday’s thread)

Your obsession with attacking McCann-sceptics with increasingly graphic language - now comparing us with the KKK - makes you look desperate and, frankly, a tad unhinged.

Especially when - as is the case - you deliberately avoid engaging with the real issues we are discussing

Good morning.

What the hang em high posse don’t have they invent. Non existent tennis bag, non existent clothing from house in devon, non existant 10th tapas diner, non existant statements attributal to sources close to, and of course non existant evidence.You could not make it up but the posse does, every single day.

REPLY: If some of the ‘evidence’ and scenarios conjured up wasn’t so nauseating , David, it would be laughable. This is a true ‘hang em high posse’ one reads about happening why back when people took justice into their own hands - a mob, holding torches, noose in their hands and marching to deliver their kind of justice. Of course, that scene just comes from movies, doesn’t it? Well, it does rather remind me of a black mark against the South over here when the KKK marched with torches, holding a noose to hang the Blacks. That was just 40 some years ago that was still going on, not to mention them shooting the Whites who went down South during the civil rights marches to help the Blacks.

+++++++++++

Sounds almost as odious as a well connected, financially supported, middle class professional couple using their power, money and influence to hire hot shot lawyers, extradition experts and PR teams while they are “suspects” in an official police investigation into their own daughters disappearance. That sounds a bit too much like a movie too, doesn’t it?

8 PeterMac says (December 24th, 2007 at 8:45 am): “I see the fund has risen today to £ 1.223,629 and 31 pence”.

REPLY: It’s worth remembering that this is a NET figure i.e. after amounts they’ve paid out for e.g. advertising, detective agencies and private investigators, travelling and other expenses for the six Trustees and of course the McCanns’ mortgage payments for July and August. I estimate that a minimum of £2 million has been donated to date to the ‘Find Madeleine Fund, quite possibly more.

But like so many other secrets that exist in this case, we’re not being told what that gross figure is

I wonder if that includes the refund from Metodo3

If there is a ‘blue bag’ and it was ’stolen’ at the time of the ‘abduction’ the conclusion might be that the child’s body was carried in it.

Another conclusion might be that this would be yet another inconsistancy with the abduction scenario.

Why? Quite simply, the cartoon man was not carrying a ‘blue bag’ in either version of the accounts from Jane Tanner. Are we now to be told to believe that there was a further raid on the McCanns?

I wonder if Gerry was followed to the UK by the same person, intent on stealing his wallet?

The McCanns had better make sure they regularly test their burgler alarm back in their lovely house, they may well be the target of an international gang intent on relieving them of anything they may happen to lay down unattended.

Thanks for the advise, Tony. I don’t claim that he is correct and everything he says is true, but it was interesting reading for me and it is, in my opinion, far more feasible than other secenarios, like for example the “two Maddies” theory.

Or the idea of an accident when a hyper active child falls from a sofa whilst abandoned in a strange apartment (not daring to leave because of loss of ’star’ rewards). An incident which could result in very serious career consequences to parents already ‘running close to the wind’ financially (potentially catastrpohic consequences).

Not even when we know the parents DID leave the child on a regular basis?

Far more liekly that an International Gang targetted this beloved ’special’ child of this ‘wonderful adoring family’ and mounted an incredibly efficient raid in a sub 5 minute ‘window of opportunity’ - waiting to do it ‘right under the nose’ of the parent on one of his ‘regular’ checks (regular as in ‘once’!) (why make it easy? Wheres the excitement for them in that?). I can see why to pick the most obvious solution (I kid you of course!).

Do you need me to sing the Daisy song again or will you take my well meant advice and think very hard about your motives and their impact on precedents being set here?

How soon in the new year do you think they will be called in?

perhaps around the time that robert murat’s suspect status is lifted?
that’s mid-jan, i think…
that will be fun

18 Ian says (December 24th, 2007 at 9:15 am): “Still, the Holy Ones of PDL surely would not be averse to a little martyrdom? They could go for sainthood?”

REPLY: Unfortunately for this theory, you can’t be made a saint while you’re alive.

Sainthood is a two-stage process. Once you are nominated and there is evidence that your life was associated with a miracle, you can be ‘beatified’. Then if another miracle associated with your life can be discovered, you’re made a saint.

Immediately after you’re made a saint, the Papacy says you can pray to that person.

The last Pope created a record number of new saints. There’s plenty of choice now if you need help from a saint

Exactly my point Tony, Gerry listing Kates options on a whiteboard…’well, Kate, it IS an option dear’.

Ian Says:

“So there might be a British paedo involved? Blimey, I know Gerry isnt the most presentable person, but I didnt really think….!”

And where was this British paedo on April 30th? Sagres?

Maybe this is the one that convinced Gerry a paedophile predator is involved in the abduction scam? I’m sure the police have looked at all phone calls these 52 paedophiles made throughout that time. I wonder how many were made to the McCanns, Murat, and the T7.

There must me a great deal of evidence of which we have no knowledge, or is it just wishful thinking?

There is a naughty part of me wants to see these peoples sickly ‘perfect world’ exposed. No doubt the pro-McCann brigade would point the finger at me and jump up and down joyfully shouting ’see - jealousy’ - but I think I am confident enough in understanding myself to risk that!
