Madeleine McCann: Speculation As Fact, Newspapers Speak With One Voice And OAP Dead
MADDIE WATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann
The newspapers continue to rely on press releases and Gerry McCann’s blog for their investigation into the disappearance of Madeleine McCann.
THE SUN: “Maddie police files to open”
KATE and Gerry McCann will soon have access to police files covering the search for missing daughter Maddie
This is presented as a fact.
Says the McCanns’ spokesman Clarence Mitchell: “We’ve heard nothing officially, but if it’s true judicial secrecy has been lifted we welcome it.”
So how does the Sun know about the police files?
THE STAR: “MADDIE COPS TO SHOW MCCANNS EVIDENCE”
Gerry and Kate McCann will be given full access to confidential case files, Portugal’s top law officer revealed yesterday.
Portugal’s top legal eagle told them? But how does the Star know?
DAILY MAIL: “MCCANNS TO FINALLY FIND OUT ‘EVIDENCE’ MADELEINE POLICE HAVE AGAINST THEM”
Attorney general Fernando Jose Pinto Monteiro told daily newspaper 24 Horas: “From July, the (Madeleine) case will cease to be covered by judicial secrecy, and will be available to consultation by all parties involved. I do not know which date, but in July the case ceases to be covered by judicial secrecy.”
That’s right – this latest McCann story is rooted in an opinion voiced in a Portuguese newspaper.
Says the Mail: “24 Horas speculated the judicial secrecy will end on July 14 - more than 10 months after the couple were named suspects.”
Speculated? But what of the facts? Well, here they are:
The McCanns, both 40-year-old doctors from Rothley, Leics, were made official suspects last September but have never been arrested or charged and vigorously deny any wrongdoing.
Such are the facts.
DAILY TELEGRAPH: “Madeleine McCann: evidence against parents to be revealed
Facts:
The McCanns, both 40-year-old doctors from Rothley, Leics, were made official suspects last September but have never been arrested or charged and vigorously deny any wrongdoing.
Is the Telegraph reading the Mail, or vice versa?
THE TIMES: Kate and Gerry McCann to be told why police made them suspects in disappearance of Maddy
The announcement came as Mr and Mrs McCann embarked on a series of meetings with MEPs in Strasbourg in a renewed effort to secure backing for a Europe-wide child abduction alert system.
The couple have until July 24 - the close of the plenary session - to collect the signatures needed to ensure that their proposal, in the form of a written declaration, is sent to the EU President and published.
They have chalked up 225 signatures so far, leaving them another 168 to collect.
Mr McCann said: “This is an important issue and Europe needs to work together. We want to get as many signatures as possible but there’s limited time left.”
DAILY RECORD: “Dolina Cops Find Grave In Woods”
POLICE searching for missing OAP Dolina Maclean yesterday found a shallow grave in woods. The grim discovery was made in a dense pine forest near the village of Dunning in Perthshire.
Forensic experts, including officers who worked on the Madeleine McCann and Moira Jones cases, spent the day combing the area for evidence.

Finally, some real news. What difference will it make if the evidence is shown to the McCanns? Will it just give them the ability to have alibi’s ready for whatever there is against them? wholly innocent explanations as they would call it.
Tomorrow is going to be a difficult day for me, but I would just like everyone to spare a thought and remember all the children who DO deserve to be with their parents and are not, an for the parents who DONT have their children with them but DO deserve to.
Take care all x

Gerry in his nice new dark suit. Kate all dressed up, hair done. makeup done, low neck. Ugggh - grieving parents. No way. Money in the bank - yeh! IMO two very selfish people indeed.

Have a good day all

As they have all this time on their hands to raise awareness and alerts for missing children, how about they travel the world and try and to find their own missing child - or do they already know that she can never be found!!!!!

A big hug for this week. I can’t imagine how hard it must be.
I hope you will be surrounded by friends and family and your son skips school so you can all get steaming drunk, and cry and laugh together discussing your beautiful daughter.

A totally biased view or what?
If i called you a right slapper who walks the streets of Rotherham every Friday night would you like to see my evidence to this claim?
And before everyone else jumps on the ’slapper’ calling bandwagon do you think it fair that i should at least give you the opportunity to answer your corner to prove that you are completely innocent?
Likewise the McCanns have faced vitriol from an audience of voyeurs who believe in a police force who break their own laws.
It looks like the decision not to go to Portugal for a reconstruction was a good one because soon the M’s will have the opportunity to show the Portuguese Jesters ( and their avid supporters) that they have been wrong from day one and what a farce the whole investigation has been.

I forgot to mention
On the Ro(w)thley tour.
A discount of 5p is available to all those wearing a genuine ‘find madeleine wrist band’. Be careful when you ask for this, however, as only the latest model qualifies.
