Madeleine McCann: Joaquim Agostinho Gives His Friends A Laugh
MADDYWATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann
DAILY MAIL: “A Portuguese drifter who strongly resembles Madeleine McCann’s suspected kidnapper has been spotted at an Algarve resort”
Oh?
“Joaquim Agostinho was seen in Altura last week after two British tourists complained they had been followed by a prowler who looked ‘identical’ to a sketch of the alleged kidnapper.
Says Mr Agostinho, who denies any involvement in Madeleine’s disappearance: “I did not kill Madeleine and I’ve never been to Praia da Luz.”
Says Gail Cooper: “ He’s the spitting image of the man I saw three times at the resort where Madeleine vanished.”
News Of The World: Says Mr Agostino: ”I cannot even drive. I accept that the drawing looks like me. All my friends have been laughing about it”
Fingers are pointing…

Near enough for me. Bring him in………..

Shave him
January 27th, 2008 at 9:27 pm
There you go look……..said the abductor didnt drive. What do you reckon Ian? All we need to know now is if he’s left handed?

Yes bring him in!
Lets bring ‘em all in - they are all low life after all. Its clear that only scruffy types commit crimes - certainly not nice clean consultants and well painted (even when their daughters have been snatched) GP’s.

He looks less like George Harrison, more like Timothy Spall.
January 27th, 2008 at 9:33 pm
Problem is, unless the good doctors admit they werent being quite as careful as they claim, no abductor could have abducted - nobody will ever be prosecuted!
They really do need to admit the neglect to be able to pin this as an abduction. Rock and hard place!
January 27th, 2008 at 9:35 pm
But is he a pig farmer ?
He may not drive, but can he levitate over windowsills ?
And with teeth like that the so called “co-incidence” of the full moon on 2nd May last year suddenly seems very significant.
- - - -
Why don’t they leave these poor people alone, and just tell the truth.
January 27th, 2008 at 9:36 pm
Trouble is, the other guy admitted knocking on the witnesses door. So all we have is lots of scruffy types being accused of being abductors.
Of course the fun would start if they caught someone who turned out to have actually abducted her after watching them desert their kids for hours!
Abductor and McCanns banged to rights, as Ade would say ’such fun’!

Hmm, certainly looks that way!

Is Clarence going to go wih this one as the witness …
‘Says Gail Cooper: “ He’s the spitting image of the man I saw three times at the resort where Madeleine vanished.”
….has beat him to it - he has to!
So this one will either blow the story of ‘regular checks’ away or it will kill off the Gail Cooper distraction. He doesnt look capable of feats of gyuymnastics - but maybe he is ex SAS?

Gymnastics that is
January 27th, 2008 at 9:43 pm
I gotta admit, this Madeleine story seems to have a real life of its own and doesnt ever look like ending! Every time it looks like its died down, some wonderful new opportunity to argue crops up!

HOW many people are going to fall in the mccSHIT”s net????

The PJ need to interview him again and search wherever he has been. He didn’t have to drive to abduct her. He does look similar to the sketch. People can laugh, but often criminals do live in poverty and are homeless. Some of them are crazy, so they can’t hold jobs for long and live a drifter existence. This isn’t judgment, but rather reality for some criminals. Sex offenders often live isolated and in poverty, which is easy to understand. If this man has anything to do with Madeleine, the police need to find out. If he does not, then they need to make sure of that. I never feel that the PJ really go the distance to find out about suspects because they have never believed Madeleine was abducted. If they continue to think the parents harmed her, then they would not have a lot of energy to put forth in finding an abductor. I hope the PJ can at least hold the thought that an abduction was possible, so they can investigate anyone who might be a suspect thoroughly. What is important is finding out what happened to Madeleine. Whether she is alive or not; she deserves to have the truth revealed.

I will restrain from telling you WHAT i really THINK ONLY because I do not want to be banned from Anorak.

A big THANK YOU to all posters. I have enjoyed reading posts on a daily basis and although I am one who rarely contributes, I am an avid reader. Your posts and links are informative and at times amusing and have been a wonderful source for me to keep up to date with the Mccann story here in Australia.
For the record - I totally believe that the Mccanns are guilty of something more than child abandonment and can’t wait to see the headline that informs that that the cat is out of the bag and that justice will be served.

Is this Allison real or have I drunk too much?
Que los follen. A esta y a toda la nauseabunda ralea de fantoches persiguiendo y molestando pobre gente
Until when those imbeciles will be hunting poor people?
January 27th, 2008 at 11:57 pm
Either I dont understand Allison”s post or I becoming really irritable or both.Probably both,actually….
The only thing which is correct in my eyes in her post is that we want justice for Madeleine.When is this going to happen?
The rest is really irrelevant and miss the point: an other guy is being harrassed.
When is this going to stop????? this is my question.
Is there a way to stop them to constantly harrass and damage people?
