Madeleine McCann: The Story In Pictures
MADELEINE MCCANN - ever since Madeleine McCann went missing and the single thread story began to be spun by a voracious media, taken up by a mawkish commentariat and vain MPs, enjoyed by armchair detectives and turned into a public spectacle, Anorak has followed the story of the girl who became the media’s Our Maddie.
We now bring you the Madeleine McCann story in pictures:

I have to agree with Scruffy. What the hell were they thinking about?….leaving three young children alone like that….appalling parenting! .
If my daughter had been abducted, my reactions would not have been so controlled as Kate McCann’s….cold comes to mind….
I hope they both never rest easy in their beds at night.

no parents go to dinner and leave 3 kids under the age of 3 alone.

maddie woz here documentary …
kate beggars belief at times..to quote her on the sightings of maddie possibly being carried off by her possible abductor “One would question why someone is carrying a child with bare feet on a cold night”…hmm..yes tis very possible nay plausible a parent on holiday in Portugal might just do that..y’know take the kids out to dine WITH THEM after a long day enjoying themselves at the beach or by the pool in the warm sunshine..rather than…need I go on..
Yes it does indeed beg the question Kate!..furthermore..leaving sick and vomiting children like tanner..weird by any stretch..and laughing boy ger..had me in stitches when he said he supposed that the kids being alone did increase the risk of abduction a bit..INCREASE..a bit..????? their self righteous and near cavalier attitude to even half acknowledging any fault in maddie’s predicament has probably hindered any real chance that she will ever be found..but then maybe that’s the whole point..

I shall wade through… tragically I always do.
I was actually beginning to feel sorry for the McCanns/quite like them… and then Gerry went and got his smug mug on the telly again - he is so punchable…

Peter,
Some good points, when they say foreign looking do they mean to us or them? Criminals I can spot a mile off as I work with ‘em, but you’re right, paedophiles (who I know are also criminals) do look more “ordinary”. Can’t really define that but hopefully you know what I mean.

LOL, does that make me a McCAnorak?

7 - Karen , I know. It’s jhuge. Too big I think. But how can it be condensed? It is for Anoraks…

74 pictures! I’ll never finish.
Actually - I’m reeling from the Scottish LGBT Youth paedophile scandal - & all my reactions to anything would be coloured by how sick I feel. It’s horrible.
Moderator - Indeed it is horrible , but at least Justice will be served, here is a link

Thanks Anorak.
I quickly paged through at lunchtime before posting and it’s a good collection.
I’ll post the link for some friends.

I wanted a post that traced the story from the very start - not easy to do. Please click the start and follow it through…

I wish I could think so, but they are still locked into the architypical pantomime “Scruffy wierdo”.
Always ’swarthy’, always “Foreign looking”, always ‘long greasy hair’, always ‘acting strangely’, always someone fitting the description of what they imagine people see in their “worst nightmares”.
Sadly life is not like that. Criminals of all sorts are usually boringly normal.
And the latest sketch is even worse than the first series. Why can these people never find an artist who can actually draw something that looks like a human being. There must be some out there.
This is not a good start, though sticking round PdL probably is.
Talking to the family and the Tasniks would also be good. Not chatting - interviewing and challenging their assertions. Forcing KM to tell what the evidence for an abduction actually was would also be a good start. 2 years too late, but still something to work on.
But then who is paying their bills ? M3 made a quick buck, and were defended robustly throughout by Clarrie and by the legal team to whom we sent letters. May we now know their respective views, with the benefit of hindsight ? I think not. They all got paid lots as well.

Let’s hope the “new” detectives are on to something, at last….
At least they seem to realise that a good starting point would be Praia, not Lisbon, Morocco, etc. I really hope they come up with a result.

It’s so sad.
All those pictures and stories. All that publicity and none of it has made any difference for Madeleine.
A few people just got richer along the way.
