Madeleine McCann: Paulo Rebelo Arrives And McCanns To Brussels
MADDYWATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann
DAILY TELEGRAPH: “Madeleine McCann police due to arrive in UK”
The Portuguese police are coming.
Portuguese police are due to arrive in Britain today to observe as the friends of Kate and Gerry McCann are interviewed about the night Madeleine went missing.
And Kate and Gerry McCann?
The McCanns will not be in Leicestershire for the duration of the visit by Mr Rebelo and his team. On Wednesday, they travel to Brussels to lobby MEPs for better co-ordination between European countries when a child goes missing.
They will return to Leicestershire on Thursday evening before the Portuguese officers fly home.
THE SUN: “‘Tapas seven’ face police quiz”
Not the Tapas Nine.
The “Tapas Seven” – who were having dinner with Kate and Gerry McCann when Maddie four, vanished – will be interviewed as witnesses by officers from Leicestershire Constabulary.
Portuguese detectives, led by investigation chief Paulo Rebelo, arrive in Britain today and will stay a week.
A spokeswoman for Leicestershire Constabulary said: “Leicestershire Constabulary will be co-ordinating the execution of the request for mutual legal assistance made by the Portuguese authorities. The Portuguese authorities have asked that the contents of the request and the way it is being executed be kept confidential so as not to prejudice their ongoing investigation.”
DAILY MAIL: “Portuguese detectives set to quiz ‘Tapas Seven’ in London about Madeleine ’s disappearance”
Mr Mitchell said it was “pure coincidence” that the McCanns were leaving Britain during the week of the police interviews.
He said: “To say this is a smokescreen is utter rubbish. It is pure co-incidence that police interviews are being conducted at the same time the European Parliament is sitting, and Kate and Gerry are tabling a motion.”

not having a lawyer present when being questions even as a witness by the police is not in keeping with the mccs need to be in control of all the proceedings. I wonder if it’s only the fringes that are not taking a lawyer along. The tapas 7 may want one if it is only as a ‘witness’and someone to record what they say

Psychic Diane Lazarus Uses Her Powers To Solve Crimes, Heal The Sick And Help The Families Of Missing Persons
WHEN clairvoyant Diane Lazarus first displayed psychic tendencies at the age of four, it petrified her but she has carved out a very successful career using her extraordinary powers.
The Welsh psychic has been involved in high-profile police investigations and even surprises herself with her amazing discoveries which, in 2006, won her Channel 5’s British Psychic Challenge.

haven’t posted for ages and only recently started reading this blog again.
thank you for sharing this with us.
great to hear the PJ will be running the interviews. hope this is true.
“cross examinations” sounds a bit more serious than the “interviews” without lawyers we were hearing about earlier today.

PJ authorized to Question the McCann’s Friends
Police begins today the attack on the contradictions of the McCann’s friends
The PJ Team and the Police of Leicester were yesterday in a meeting that lasted the whole afternoon to adjust the manner of how the interrogations are going to take place.
Now it’s the time for the coordinator of criminal investigation of the PJ, Paulo Rebelo to show what he is worth. The right-arm of Guilhermino Encarnação, the person in charge of the PJ’s Directory of Faro, his going to lead, from 9h00 of today, all the interrogations to the seven friends with whom Madeleine’s parents had dinner in the night the girl disappeared, from Praia da Luz, Algarve.
The diligence should be done only by the British authorities, but the Portuguese obtained a special authorization to do the interrogations directly. “We were only going to assist the interrogations and make suggestions. However due to the good existent collaboration between both police forces, it was agreed that we should do the cross-examinations. It was a question of courtesy from the English Police in general and of Leicester in particular”, explained to 24horas a Judiciary Police source.
24horas was able to gather that Jane Tanner will be the first witness to be heard, for the reason that her statement given initially to the PJ and the declarations she made publicly, along the months that followed the disappearance, are of those who present bigger inconsistencies.
It was she who said, some months after the disappearance, to have seen a man near the apartment of the McCanns carrying what appeared to be a child wrapped up in a blanket. But Jane will not be the only target of the authorities. Her husband, Russel O’Brien, is also going to be “grilled”, since his declarations to the authorities changed with time. Dianne Webster, of 63, and the oldest person of the Tapas group, will have to explain why she did not show surprise when she saw Kate entering in the Tapas Bar screaming. And why she remained seated more than five minutes until she decided to leave the place.
Witnesses of the McCanns
The day of yesterday was a fuss for Paulo Rebelo and for the two investigators who accompanied him. They had to wake up at around 6h00 to be in the Faro Airport at 7h00 to do the check-in for the EasyJet flight at 9h00 bound for Birmingham, where they arrived only around 12h30.
Soon after they had lunch and at 14h30 they entered in a high speed Ford gray van, with tinted glasses, in the headquarters of the Leicester police. There followed a meeting that lasted all the afternoon. Meanwhile, two witnesses, allegedly indicated by the McCanns, were heard, in the context of the rogatory letter, only by British officers. The PJ did not find them relevant.
Clarence Mitchell and Justine McGuinness, which practiced the spokesperson’s functions for the McCanns in Praia da Luz (the first one maintains this position in England) might be able to help explaining to the PJ how traces of blood of the child ended up in the Renault Scenic. The vehicle was rented by Madeleine’s parents three weeks after her disappearance and the detection of those evidences contributed in order for the police to change the course of the investigation, in August of 2007, starting to point to the theory of the death.
The interest of the couple McCann in suggesting to the authorities to hear Clarence Mitchell and Justine McGuiness is attached to the fact that besides the McCanns they were the persons, who travelled more in that car.

Leave Jo alone - it sounds like she’s done sterling work doing all those things you say.
What have you done? Ziltch! Big fat zero. Nada. Nothing. Sweet FA.
I’ve spoken to Team McCann and been lied to. Carry on supporting your heroes. We don’t care.
____________
They are not my heroes, Stevo. They could be carrying off the biggest hoax of the century none of us know. But whatever I myself prefer not to get into a smearing campaign of them and ruining their lives just in case it isn’t a hoax and they didn’t harm their child.
If you are talking about when the one Mccann didn’t admit his name to you I certainly never blamed him for that when it happened. One can only imagine the crank calls they were getting and still getting from all kinds of people.
Whatever, Jo started in on me and frankly, Stevo, I personally haven’t thought she was doing anything ’sterling’ by what she has done or others on here with letter writing campaigns. The old saying you can’t take back words once written, Stevo, and if they are not guilty … right there in black and white!
However it is not over yet and no one truly knows how the outcome will go. One is to be presumed innocent until proven guilty and the only so-called evidence that shows any guilt have been maufactured in people’s minds at the present time!

Egotistical doesn’t mean guilty. You added that erroneous piece of spin.
adjective
1. characteristic of those having an inflated idea of their own importance [syn: egotistic]
2. characteristic of false pride; having an exaggerated sense of self-importance; “a conceited fool”; “an attitude of self-conceited arrogance”; “an egotistical disregard of others”; “so swollen by victory that he was unfit for normal duty”; “growing ever more swollen-headed and arbitrary”; “vain about her clothes”

I beg your pardon - I was not picking on your anti friend merely pointing out that my thoughts on using the word egotistical was a little stretching the point about the McCanns.
By the way, Jo, who are you to tell someone to leave someone alone? You are the one who has stirred the pot viciously against the McCanns, writing letters to the PJ, phone calls to the Cortes, writing campaigns here and there anywhere you can stir up a hornets nest … pot kettle black, Jo - but your pots are scorched!

seperated , Sally could be the sister and that would make Murat”s girlfriend her
“sister-in-law. Just a thought.

I can’t wait to read about the new statements,especially of Mrs Jane Tanner.Tennish?Tanish? It was cold for locals,was it why she wore a big jumper?Mmm?
Oh and now (see Sky 2nd version,!), CM ‘clarrie-ficates’ before hand again: NONE of them wore a watch or had even a mobile with them…What did they have then, sonic screw drivers? To check on the Kids?
Get it: That’s WHY Oldfield DIDN’T SEE MADDY: he had NO MOBILE PHONE.So she COULDN’T PHONE HIM.Easy.But not funny at all for HER,eh?
Well well, Belgium again, looks like a Belgian joke…or the stereotyped reply: maybe yeah, maybe no…No ,PJ doesn’t want to know why Kate did NOT ground search.Well they’ve no time to waste anymore with that,have they.
Heee….glad they don’t
‘t come on their ROLLER SKATES like the French JOKES today…Tibet must have had a GOOD LOL about it.
Anyway, why is it that “Maddy” grew so much in 4 months? FOUR MONTHS!
I also wonder why BBC presents a news program about Human Embryo research, mentioning IVF by the way, JUST after the McCanns talks today…mmm…erm…again…
But Little Maddy at Xmas06 on the appeal videos can NOT be the BIG one in Praia…not even “Snow White”…puzzling,isn’t it.

From the thread I posted at 836, can anyone shed any light on this? If Sally Eveleigh is Robert Murat’s cousin, then who could she mean by “sister in law.” You don’t call your cousin’s ex-wife, girlfriend, mother your “sister in law.”

Dear all - first time poster.
Please have another look at cousin Sally Eveleigh’s video interview with Sky
http://news.sky.com/skynews/video/videoplayer/0,,31200-1265703,.html
She defends RM by saying things like, â€He loves children but not to…something like thatâ€.
But who is she referring to at the end? When she says,
â€â€¦and my sister-in-law definitely wouldn’t have anything like that - I mean she loves children aswell but not anything like thatâ€
Confused! Who is her sister in law, and what’s she got to do with it?

“The McCann family’s spokesman Clarence Mitchell told the Daily Star they had received “a number of approaches” for handouts from people claiming to be members of Shannon’s family.
They had considered making a donation but decided against it due to the “haphazard” nature of the approaches.”
