Madeleine McCann: McCanns Cleared, Shannon Matthews Fund And The Maddy Card
MADDIE WATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann and Shannon Matthews
DAILY MIRROR: “McCANNS ‘IN CLEAR’”
Kate and Gerry McCann will be formally cleared as suspects in daughter Madeleine’s disappearance by August, their lawyer said yesterday.
Fact. Now the Portuguese police can find Madeleine? And the McCanns can return to Portugal.
Rogerio Alves said detectives in Portugal had finally admitted they have no evidence against the couple and were preparing to lift their arguido status. But he also warned the move could signal the end of the year-long hunt for the four-year-old.
But the Portuguese police are useless, right? And the McCanns have Metodo 3?
But McCann spokesman Clarence Mitchell said: “We don’t want the case to remain unsolved.”
DAILY MAIL: “McCanns’ status as suspects in Madeleine’s disappearance ‘will be lifted by August’”
This August. Fact.
Says Rogerio Alves: “I believe that by August the police will close the case and lift arguido status. I believe it is a very strong possibility.”
Believe. Possibility. Fact.
ROUNDTOWNNEWS (Spain): “Mass of Balloons for Madeleine”
Skies over the Costa Blanca were clouded by a mass of colour, to mark the first anniversary of the disappearance of British infant, Madeleine McCann…
Yellow…
Meanwhile, Rob and Lisa, owners of ‘The Card Place’ in Benimar, decided to make their own touching dedication to Madeleine, by launching an abundance of bright balloons into the sunny Costa Blanca sky… Last weekend, crowds gathered to witness the event, as 160 balloons sailed from outside of the store, reminding residents throughout the area that the search for a little girl must continue. Lisa concluded with an emotional message which reflected the thoughts of all of those with any knowledge of the case. She said, “Although the investigation has gone on for sometime, Madeline has yet to be found. Members of the public should be encouraged to continue to look for Madeleine, and remain conscientious in the protection of their own children.”
And get all their cards at The Card Palce, ask for it by name. Is there a missing child card?
DEWSBURY REPORTER: “Trustees meet over Shannon cash fund options”
RESIDENTS of the housing estate where Shannon Matthews disappeared are to choose how cash raised for her appeal will be spent.
A plasma telly?
This week the six trustees for the Help Find Shannon Fund and local community support group Pathfinder, which managed the collection of the money, met to decide what to do with the remaining cash.
Family, friends, neighbours, local businesses and community groups donated money into the Help Find Shannon Fund – much like the one for missing youngster Madeleine McCann – during the 24 days the nine-year-old was missing.
So give the money to the Find Madeleine fund, easy?

Re….sub-article in NOTW…Regarding the dubious Ms Tanner…
“”"She was on her way back from her flat and saw a man walking quickly across
the top of the road, away from the apartments and towards the outer road of the complex”"”
Dear NOTW “reporter”…please watch the Panorama Programme…and note
Ms Tanner’s personal testimony…which says that she was on her way to the
Apartment FROM the Tapas Bar….etc.
Tapas Group et al…Fabrication, fabrication, fabrication.

NOW re Oldfield’s check….
“”"It highlights the tragic but innocent error he made when he checked on the
children at 9.30pm while the McCanns were at the nearby tapas bar with the
other adults in the party”"”"
How can a dereliction of duty be ever considered “an innocent error” ?
Allegedly…he himself opted to replace Dr K ’s “turn” to check the children.
Not to actually “check” is not innocent.
And what was his report to the “trusting” parents when he returned to the Bar ?
“Everythings fine…all three…of your’s were sleeping snugly” ???
If he said such….why haven’t the “trusting” parents hauled him over the
coals about his betrayal of their trust.
After all…it isn’t that a wallet or credit card or suchlike “disappeared”.
It was an, allegedly, a precious and much loved daughter who “vanished”.
Yet….they were all “so much into each other” according to Dr K.
What about the “That lying barsteward betrayed our trust..never checked
our lovely daughter as he opted to do…has let us and Madeleine down..we
hate him now and wonder why he didn’t actually check” ?

Gandolf
Good morning to you too,Gandolf
hey! tut tut tut!!!
There is new evidence,mate! Oldfield is responsible for NOT entering the room further in.He didnt see Madeleine wasnt there and therefore he is responsible for her disappearance because he didnt see and didnt give the alrm in time etc…what a loads of crap,here you are: the mccanns have nothing to do with the whole thing.Its everybodyelse fault,dont you see?
May 11th, 2008 at 7:23 am
Here is the news….No arrests no charges……
May 11th, 2008 at 7:20 am
“Our photos heartbreakingly spell out that if Matthew had only walked a few feet further into the room he could have raised the alarm 35 minutes earlier, giving the police a real chance of catching the culprit.”
Thats Oldfields fault for not entering the room further! I knew it! Its his fault!
How can newspapers publish this kind of crap????
Duncan,please come back now,otherwise my coffee is going to fly in the air

Think your right. They’re all still in bed. Expect Saul will be up and about soon, though, inviting us to share in his breakfast. Wonder what will be on offer today?

Looks like it’s going to be another hot day here. I’m just about to take the dogs round the park so looks like you’ll be on your own for a wee while. Try not to break anything, please
May 11th, 2008 at 6:52 am
I just read this in the mccannsfiles,in the latest news
“Gerrys new blog”
He writes :” we think if Madeleine was killed quickly,there ought to be evidence” ?????
I cant find the new blog tho”
WHO says she was killed? Wasnt she abducted?
What has the speed -killed quickly-of a murder to do with evidence?
What does he mean?
What does this mean?

May 11th, 2008 at 6:28 am
Good morning
“Saturday’s edition of 24horas, a local Portuguese daily, reported that a friend on holiday with the McCanns who asked not to be identified said none of the seven friends traveling with the McCanns saw Madeleine during the entire afternoon of May 3.”
“The children in the group had dinner at Paraiso, but the McCanns were not there,” the source allegedly told the paper, adding that they only saw Kate and Gerry again for dinner in the Tapas restaurant at about 8:30 p.m. that night.

New Maria,
You are funny! Why are you rude? I can bet I am more educated than you,
but I am Dr. Watson. If you do not get what it means, what are you doing on a satiric site? I never suggested you were a multoposter. But you are rude, I think. I will be happy to scroll you together with the original Maria (who is a very polite person, to be fair).
Shall I give you a link to Amazon so you buy some Doyle?

Sam, scroll back I was replying to another poster when Maria jumped in telling him to ignore me as I was confused and has since then made other accusations the latest claiming I’m a multi poster. I don’t know who she posted as previously and what her grievance is with me is.
