Madeleine McCann: Heather Mills, Bad Jokes And A Lynch Mob
MADDYWATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann
THE SCOTSMAN: “Child molester escapes mob”
A convicted child molester, Santiago del Valle Garcia, arrested in connection with the violent death of a five-year-old Spanish girl, narrowly escaped a mob who tried to grab him from a police van.
The man has yet to be charged with kidnapping and killing Mari Luz Cortes.
The girl disappeared less than two hours’ drive from where Madeleine McCann vanished in May 2007.
Is a two hour drive so very near? It takes around one and a half hours to drive from London to Birmingham, or across London.
CBS NEWS: “Loathing Heather Mills - Why Britain Hates The Former Mrs. McCartney”
You either love her or you hate her but the chances are that if you are British and you have ever heard her or seen her - you probably hate her. Heather Mills - the ex-Mrs Paul McCartney - is our latest willing export across the Atlantic. We loathe her - I mean really, really loathe her.
Well, most of us admire Lady Heather, but as for love, that would be stretching things. Can we settle on lusting after her? But what has this do with a missing child?
She likened herself to Princess Diana, and even the unfortunate parents of the missing little girl, Madeline McCann. All we lacked was her own personal account of coming under sniper fire in Bosnia.
THE TIMES: “Scott Capurro at the Soho Theatre, W1”
Scott Capurro has built a reputation for shocking audiences, but the only thing that was unsettling about this show – apart from his laboured attempt to get some mileage out of the Madeleine McCann case – was how stale and complacent much of his material was.
Jokes about Madeleine McCann are not all that shocking. A child is missing.
THE SPOOF: “Shannon takes on Madeleine”
In blatant plagiarism Terence Cloth reports that the British hide and seek champion, Shannon Matthews, is trying for European glory.
This task may well prove difficult though as the current European champion, Madeleine McCann, has still yet to be found.
Here’s a better joke, or not.
Looking for Madeleine McCann and watching the parents

Stevo, I found the website http://www.ncmec.org/missingkids/servlet/PageServlet?LanguageCountry=en_US&Pagekd=1285 only provided space for a 2 para response. I have therefore amplified my concerns in a letter to The Director, NCMEC as follows:
“I feel outraged that an organisation like NCMEC is assosicating themselves with Kate and Gerry McCann, who are ‘arguidos’ in respet of the ‘disappearance’ of their daughter, Madeleine.
Madeleine was still 3 years old when her parents left her and her 2 year old twin siblings at night, unattended, in an unlocked apartment in a foreign country, while they wined and dined with friends, out of ear shot, each night. It is known that these supposedly ‘caring parents’ even visited another restaurant half a mile away, still leaving their children unattended. A neighbour had to report the distress of one of the children because her crying persisted for so long.
When the McCann’s guilt in leaving three young children on their own is an obvious contributory factor in Madeleine’s disappearance, and when such neglect put these three children at risk in other respects too, I just marvel that your organisation would wish to be so thoroughly discredited by assosication with the McCanns.
It can’t have escaped your attention that, on 7th April 2008, the Portuguese justice system is about to embark on questioning those dining with the McCanns, and the PJ has been systematically accumulating evidence as to what really happened on that fateful night.
It is also known that, for obscure reasons, the McCanns hve received unprecedented help from many powerful sources. The British public, and the public in Portugal and elsewhere, are not as gullible as these influential people woule like to believe, and we are determined to see that Madeleine receives justice.
If your organisation wants to be taken seriously, it would be as well to investigate thoroughly the circumstances surrounding those with whom you choose to associate as being supportive to your cause. “

Cheryl,
I wouldn’t have worried about that email, people reading it would wonder about the motivations of someone mailing them a story full of hearsay imo. Btw they have met the McC’s, they know about statistics of child abduction, so I’m sure they’ve an opinion about the McC’s. I do wonder what that opinion is though…
“while the parents drank wine and socialised” they were having dinner…
“Some news reports say” rumours in the papers.. ha!
“Other people have reported” even more gossip…
“Had they stayed in or taken the children with them” Oh, so she was abducted then?!
“full investigation has been carried out” the investigation has been going on for about ten months without charges, extradition orders, any real proof in the public domain, or any public statements by the police/prosecutor that they are involved into the disappearance of Madeleine. Making them arguido’s is only natural given the fact that it allowed the police to ask them more accusing questions, given the statistics about child abduction, given the soon to be executed change in the law, and given the [conflicting imo] personalities of the investigator and the parents.
Did you tell them about the emails to the Texas sheriff [or spokesman] about BG?
Sorry Stevo, I think you’re a nice caring guy, but imo you should have composed that email a bit better, leaving out the insinuations and the gossips.

…and Good Morning to you too !! about to start the daily round and we do have a bit of sunshine to help us on our way !! sadly it may not last…….
I know there could be a Tech problem and I don’t get uptight now if my puerile posts don’t appear immediately as I realise this may be a fault of the Almighty Spam so I wil just keep a closer watch now and see whether this particular problem manifests itself again and try to advise you accordingly…have a Nice Day !!
March 29th, 2008 at 6:57 am
Glad to see you have finally escaped from the clutches of the dreaded Spammer. I’ll mention these ‘disappearing’ posts to our techie guy.
Oh, btw - good morning !
March 29th, 2008 at 6:53 am
Well that’s very, very weird becuase all three of the last ones were mine, all posted at different times but not having shown up previously so I naturally thought they had been in the spammer and only just released. As you see - we are working OK now but I can assure you there were those three, plus more so maybe you have more than an over-active spammer !!
March 29th, 2008 at 6:45 am
Have checked both the Mod queue and the spam folder and can’t find any comments of yours in either place.

When first saw Madeleine’s picture in paper, thought what a sad child she looked. Something about that child was not right. It was her whole face, and I felt it had a look of sadness in it. I will state here IMO, Madeleine may have had a lot to put up with in her short life. Have to say this.

Surely this will happen
People will go and read and think and wonder and question….
Anyhow I wish they werent surrounded by a self created cloud of suspicion
I wish Madeleine was here
I wish truth and justice for the litte child
Good night

Jo, well the main thing is that this book might make other non-internet-visiting people see where the fingers point…and why the huge, sinister cover-ups must be questioned.
But then..how will they know - as the UK press will probably keep it all as quiet as they can , as per the usual instruction from the UK government.
Dee,
I’m sorry, I’m useless at links, but it’s the three arguidos, the “justice for madeleine” section, and then check on the latest links…I can’t remember the name of the onbe about this book, but it should be easily found.

No need in the trial of attempted extortion at McCann
The Court of First Instance of Torremolinos in Spain dictated dismissed, and consequent passage to the archives, the trial opened in June 2007 against a couple accused of attempted extortion parents to Madeleine McCann.
Danilo Chemello and Aurora Vaz Pereira were arrested in Sotogrande accused of providing false leads on the location or was Madeleine in exchange for a sum of money.
After their arrest, Chemello, wanted by the French courts, was extradited to France while his wife remained in Spain awaiting trial.
Gerry and Kate McCann, according to a source of the Tribunal, have never expressed interest in the trial. The Portuguese police, in collaboration with their counterparts from Spain, checked the alleged information
