Madeleine McCann: No Portugal Return, Maddy TV And Paris Hilton
MADDIE WATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann
It’s the Mirror’s “MADELEINE EXCLUSIVE”. The news is – as Anorak reported last night – that the Tapas Seven (surely the Sangria 7? –Ed) will not be returning to Portugal to take part in a reconstruction of the night Madeleine went missing.
A source says: “They were asked informally to return, then asked again in an official letter last week. After some consideration they decided not to go back. They were concerned it would not be televised, and were bemused as to why it was happening so long after Madeleine disappeared.”
And who would play Madeleine? Her? Her? What about “Look Into My Eyes”, a TV talent show search for a Madeleine fronted by Trevor McDonald and GMTV?
Remember Kelsey: “Mummy, I could play Madeleine. I look just like her’”?
THE SUN: “No re-run for Maddie cops”
What does Lorraine Kelly think? It was she who said:
How could someone put their infant child forward as a Madeleine lookalike with the idea of making money? The child obviously has to be around the same age as Madeleine.
Is a Madeleine needed? After all, she is missing…
Unless it was to specifically aid the campaign, how could they all live with themselves for making money out of the tragic disappearance of a little girl?
It makes you recoil to think a lookalike agency would have a Madeleine on their books alongside someone who looks like Jack Nicholson or Paris Hilton.
Disgusting! To think that Maddy should be with the likes of Jack the lads or Hilton makes our flesh turn cold. It’s nothing less than sick.
DAILY MAIL: “Madeleine reconstruction scrapped after ’suspicious’ McCanns refuse to return to Portugal to take part”
The Mail has the details: The McCanns are “both doctors.”
Says a Source: “They also question why it was not to be televised and why police just want the nine and not other holidaymakers and staff to take part.”
GLASGOW DAILY RECORD: Says Clarence Mitchell:
“The friends had a number of serious questions about the value of the reconstruction and what it would do to help find Madeleine. After some discussion, they have informed the Portuguese authorities they do not intend to go back.
“Gerry and Kate have not refused to go back. They were aware of their friends’ view and they are now not needed for the reconstruction. There were a number of serious questions. For instance, why did they want to hold a reconstruction more than a year after the event?
“Why was the reconstruction not to be televised? That would have generated new leads and information but if it is not televised, how on earth is that going to help find Madeleine? Why did they only want the nine people back? Why didn’t they ask all the other holidaymakers back?
“Frankly, the police and the authorities in Portugal did not answer the simple question: what will this do to help find Madeleine?”
Do the police have to televise their police work to make it valid?
Madeleine McCann TV: are you sitting comfortably?

Will you stop messing about for once? Be serioius………… and mornin’ to you.
May 28th, 2008 at 8:52 am
Mornin all- havn’t been on for a while, how’s it goin?
IMO the Tapas 7 just want to distance themselves from this whole sorry mess they have strongly been involved with ie leaving their vunerable children aswell as the Mcs leaving theirs. Why would they want to put themselves back in the limelight, flashing cameras at the airport, press waiting in PDL for their arrival?
Wonder how strong the friendship is betweens the lot of them now, after the poop hit the fan more than a year ago?
If what has been reported is correct and the T7 don’t see the benefit of a reconstruction, how did they come to that conclusion?
If a reconstruction would help the PJ cross the T’s and dot the I’s as far as clarifying the events of last year and this helped find justice for Madeleine then surely as good friends they would take part. Why not take part? Can’t they get time off work? Prior engagements? Fear of flying?
They have reportedly asked why the reconstruction is with just them and not the other holidaymakers and staff?
Maybe the statements of events given by the staff and holidaymakers all add up and fall into place as fact of the matter events of the evening and maybe the statements of the T7 and the Mcs don’t. IMHO ofcourse.
Sunderland is not so sunny today, boo, hoo!!!
Bring back the sunshine!!!

I wish I was messing around,niño but you see,this is serious stuff and they wont get away with it.Sad sad sad people,they are.
The PJ will not give up.They knew the charming group would not go.Of course,they knew it and the very same group has fallen in the PJs trap
Now the PJ will bring charges.Like it or not.
Such is life
May 28th, 2008 at 8:55 am
I wonder what the profesional outfits next move will be?
Or will they remain stagnant like they have done for the last 12 months

Good morning, matty.
The PJ have lowered a length of rope into the laderless and deep deep hole
which the Tapas Group have dug for themselves…unfortunately they have
decided to make a noose instead of allowing themselves to be pulled to
safety. IMO.
May 28th, 2008 at 8:58 am
But Tia Maria dont be daft.
How can you claim the PJ will not give up when nothings appears to have been happened anyway?
M and A
Well Garth something did happen to that little kid of theirs, but then it wasn’t televised….., but if her parents can’t be arsed why should anyone else?
May 28th, 2008 at 8:58 am
Why o why?
As mentioned before it could prove the abduction took place, it could exonerate those in the frame etc. etc. a lot more positives to be gained out of it than negatives.
At best, I think this could be un-savvy spin by a 2nd rate publicist, or there’s a lot more dark reason at the core…..who’s spinning who?
May 28th, 2008 at 8:58 am

Ah…I see….so every cloud does indeed have a silver lining…somehow.
May 28th, 2008 at 8:59 am
So…who do you think the PJ suspects more?
K or G?
May 28th, 2008 at 9:00 am

I think the PJ will be very interested in the present situation and
adjusting their focus to a great dgree.

Why dont they call the McCanns bluff and agree to a televised reconstruction?
Afterall, it cant do any harm…………. can it?

Yep, I think it speaks volumes, not wanting to cooperate with police requests that may tie up a few loose ends as far as getting justice for Madeleine

This is NOT the way things are made in portugal.
This is a portuguese investigation and portugal has the right to do their work and do it are they are used to….but you see,all the recons jobby was a con…..
NOW,the PJ will act,reconstruction or not.
In fact,not the PJ but the prosecutor
So…who do you think the PJ suspects more: K or G?who of the “perfect” ones? one more than the other or BOTH?

In your eyes maybe. But the McCanns know they are innocent and so do their friends.
Lets be honest here, a reconstruction will do nothing other than satisfy the PJ (maybe) that the movements of that night are clear. But then they have the times of thei movements etc so how would a reenactment benefit anyone? They could do it themselves.
The PJ have been dithering for too long imo. Either charge them or drop the case.

If the reports (Brunt and earlier ones) are correct, the PJ didn’t need the recon anyway, did they? He says it was a “request not a demand” so they perhaps have all the evidence already? I remember a police spokesman (Ribeiro???? can’t remember) also saying a few weeks ago that it wasn’t necessary but that, if it went ahead, the Mcs would need to be there.
