Madeleine McCann: Melissa Fiering Knows, CCTV And The ‘Mark Of Madeleine’
MADDYWATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann
DAILY STAR: “French child was not Maddie”
Melissa Fiering was mistaken
DAILY MIRROR: “This is the first image of the man a student claims she saw with Madeleine McCann in a cafe.”
An image. a drawing of a man who looks like a cross between Johnny Depp and KD Lang.
Melissa Fiering, 18, described the dark-skinned male to sketch artist Emre Altin, 28, exclusively for the Mirror.
Speaking at her home in Nijmegen, Holland, yesterday, the travel and tourism student said of the police-style e-fit: “This is definitely an accurate likeness of the man I saw. I’d recognise him straight away if the police found him”
McCanns beg to see French CCTV film of man and girl - Clarence Mitchell, the McCanns’ spokesman, says: “We want to see the video of this girl. French police have not officially discounted that it is Madeleine so we’re still waiting to hear whether they believe this to be the case.
“If the French police can categorically assure us it is not Madeleine then we will have to take their word for it, but despite this they should let Kate and Gerry see the footage. This is their daughter we are talking about”
DAILY MAIL: “MCCANNS BEG TO SEE CCTV FOOTAGE OF ‘SIGHTING’ OF MADELEINE IN FRANCE”
Kate and Gerry McCann tonight urged French police to show them CCTV footage of a suspected sighting of daughter Madeleine in the South of France.
Although it appears French police have ruled out the possibility it is the four-year-old her parents want to see the surveillance video from a French diner where a Dutch tourist reported seeing the missing British girl
BBC: “How common is Madeleine’s eye defect?2
Referred to as the “mark of Madeleine” the blemish on the four-year-old’s right eye has played a key part in the campaign to highlight her disappearance, emphasised in posters and videos…
The blemish is called a coloboma of the iris. Its precise incidence is not recorded in the UK, but figures suggest it occurs in about 0.007% of the population. A 1989 study in China found two cases in a survey of 26,512 children under 12 years of age. That would mean a prevalence of 7.5 per 100,000.

No wuckas agw i’ll run it through babelfish. Those nails dry yet? This might be a nice venue for a party.
Penster agw doesnt do nails, only long skinny ones that holdthings together
February 22nd, 2008 at 1:28 pm
It’s just after midnight and I’m offended by the suggestion that I may be sober.

I hope the French police are not allowed to give the MCs a copy of a footage of people who have nothing to do with them. Suppose Met3 decides to investigate on this man and the little girl, what a mess!
But surely, the MCs would allow them to see thye footage, if they went there.
More spin from Clarrie who wants to make us believe they are vicitmised by the police. Clarrie is a born actor, but a bad one.

I wonder if it has anything to do with arguidos status. Maybe they were allowed to go back to UK as long as they stayed within UK. They stated the other day they are not going to Eire.
February 22nd, 2008 at 1:47 pm
Sorry…………should be ferret’s

Penster
You ok? if you are not sober how the hell do you manage to spell respectable and suggestion correctly? quick reach for the bottle
February 22nd, 2008 at 1:47 pm
Is there a link to the sketch of man student convinced she saw with Madeleine McCann???
I wonder what it will look like….
February 22nd, 2008 at 1:48 pm
I meant the police would allow the MCs to see the footage.
There is no international warrant arrest on them I think. They don’t risk anything.

Yep!
Why dont they go anyhow? because they are arguidos? I doubt it really…
February 22nd, 2008 at 1:50 pm
June all these people are staying on topic and spoiling it for the rest of us. It’s an outrage.
Ahh not to worry , it will deteriorate to its normal standard of mayhem and chaos

==================
If the information I read was correct they have to notify the PJ where they will be if they are going to be away from their home address for more than 5 days, so I guess they could ask if they can go to Ireland.

No international arrest on them otherwise they would still be in portugal in house arrest I believe (?)

I hope there is no link to the sketch. The guy is entitled to his privacy. I would go mad, if I were him, and a sketch of me were released, just because a student who saw me in a café was 103% sure I was a child abductor.
February 22nd, 2008 at 1:52 pm
Rockhopper !
You never showed!
You should let your ferret out and play with it
