Kate McCann Diaries Could Go For £1million: What Price The Maddy Catty
SOME speculation in the Daily Mail:
Kate McCann could expect to receive a seven-figure sum for her Madeleine diaries, were she to sell the rights to a publishing house.
The diaries - which Kate has been keeping ever since Madeleine went missing - are in the hands of the Portuguese prosecutors and could prove crucial evidence for any case brought against the McCanns.
No publishing house has yet come forward to offer a sum of money but, were Kate McCann to express an interest in a deal, the move would be highly lucrative.
“There is no doubt Kate McCann’s diaries would be of huge interest to any publisher should she think about releasing them,” says Neil Denny, editor-in-chief of The Bookseller magazine, “but I haven’t heard of anything yet, not even from the ambulance-chasing publishers”.
Of course, they could fetch £2million. £10million. Or nothing. Kate McCann may not sell them. Or she may.
Says Denny: “So, if written well, and Kate McCann is an articulate woman, it could fetch a significant sum, although I wouldn’t want to put a figure on it.”
As he says, no advances have been made. He says that would be - get this - “insensitive”.

Hello Paulette,
You have to know that it is very difficult to know what to do in theses cases. I am from Belgium, discovered a network and did everything wrong, because I believed in the system. I realised the situation when I met Marcel Vervloesem, saw the huge evidence that were never inquired. The McCanns will have to learn more about these networks to realise how they can use best their resource to fight them.
You are very right about those people who pretend one thing, but are another. One of the major problems in fighting networks are charity pretending to do so but run by paedophiles. We have in our files, identified a French judge abusing an eleven-years-old boy. It is a 100% identification, but we cannot manage to have him arrested, which is plain corruption from Belgium and France. Journalist don’t want to expose him, because he is too powerful, friend of half of the French government. He is involved in around 60 organisations related to child protection.
Five weeks after Marcel Vervloesem snatched and exposed the Zandvoort file, this judge wrote a “study” about a series of criminal cases IN the Zandvoort file with the title: “It is dangerous to fight paedophile networks”. Three weeks later, Marcel was accused of having raped nine former convicts and men working in prostitution. Many of the Zandvoort criminals, well-off paedophiles finally convicted, where pretending to fight networks and be victims from cabal of those networks, with false witnesses to defame them.
When you have been working long enough in this dirt, you see straight away the people who are framed, and those who are not. There are far too many abnormalities in the McCann case, such as the serial breaches of the inquiry secrecy.
In the Temse/Madeira case (also dismantled by Marcel and linked to Zandvoort), Warwick Spinks was left free, though Marcel had brought proof that he had paid the criminals to pass the boarders with a child to make him work as a prostitute in a brothel of Hulst, town on the Belgian/Dutch boarder. Warwick Spinks was a heavy criminal, brothel owner at the age of 25. Isn’t that a little more solid that what the Portuguese police have on the McCann?
They have NOTHING, not the slightest evidence on them and they admit it. Now look at the article “keepcopshonest” gave: this is evidence that police is corrupted. I was already surprised that they dared to interrogate Kate McCann 11 hours. Now what about interrogating a mother victim for 48 hours? This is criminal.
We are 100% positively sure that the McCann are being harmed and the British police surely know it.
The terribly sad news is that the dead body of little Ylenia was found yesterday, with extra mysteries around her. The case is linked to Madeleine, but completely hushed and transformed as to make believe in an “isolated predator” who would have committed suicide, whereas everything show murder within organised crime.
Just as Ylenia’s body was found, rather than waiting for the autopsy that ought to bring more evidence: we heard on Belgian news that the Portuguese police wanted to question the McCann’s. This is typical to drive away the attention.
I don’t know how the English police could intervene, as all the evidences are abroad. Yet, Scotland Yard is very good about these networks. I can’t imagine that they don’t know what is happening.
Here is a link of a resume on how poor little Ylenia case bring to Madeleine. http://www.droitfondamental.eu/06-Ylena_lead_to_maddie-GB.htm

Jacqueline de Croÿ Says @ 20,
You say the McCanns have the “means” to fight paedophile rings but you don’t mention if they are actually are using their massive resources to do so. And another thing which with all due respect doesn’t ring true for me is simply because someone has the money to fight a nefarious criminal group doesn’t necessarily mean they are innocent of what they seem to symbolize.
We can turn to examples in politics and religion for analogies of personalities/organizations who become symbols of some sort for justice & social good who were actually involved in the very criminal activity they claimed to be against.
I am not saying that this is true of the McCanns and I am not in any way saying it is of Marcel Vervloesem. I know these things happen in our dangerous world. But so too do cases as I have mentioned.
Politicians claiming to be against poverty who vote against social causes to assist the poor or who are caught embezzling public funds; high ranking officials in positions to protect exploited children who are in fact exploiting children; drug enforcers who are junkies; politicians who are homophobes yet are gay themselves; religious leaders who preach love & kindness yet support war & hate against those who are not of their religion; doctors who take an oath to ‘harm no one’ & murder; physically ugly men who demand to have a gorgeous wife……..I can go on & on with examples of hideous hyprocrisies we encounter in all cultures, made by characters from all walks of life, throughout the world’s history.
Just because this terrible tragedy has happened to an innocent man (I empathize with his story & thank you for telling it) does not make the McCanns innocent nor does it indicate they are being targeted by paedophile rings.
If you do have substantiated information about the McCanns being harmed, or in danger of being hurt by paedophile rings/organized crime of any kind - please bring it to the attention of the British authorities immediately. Plus if you can present evidence of your claims on this forum I myself would be more than willing to study this information & I think other Anorak readers would too.
Kind regards

What kind of police force keeps a “suspect” (arguido) as head of this type of investigation, when he is suspect of covering up torture in a previous missing child investigation? Now it’s back in the Daily Mail:

The McCann’s are paying the price for having the means to fight paedophile networks: over a million pound and brains. Defamation and false accusations have always been used to destroy the reputation of people liable to endanger these networks. It is called the paedo tom-tom and weaves around the Internet through specialists in manipulating people opinion.
The paedo tom-tom against the McCann was started because hundred of thousand children “disappear” and never benefited from press coverage. Journalists are NEVER “manipulated”, but choose the cases they like and drop the others, usually more terrible, but less “digestible”.
The hate campaigns have been built on breach of the investigation secrecy, which is highly illegal in Portugal, more particularly since the McCann’s are legally banned from talking in public about the investigation, thus to publish Kate’s diary to pay for their defence. Journalists have no excuse to deny people’s fundamental right to the presumption of innocence, or give priority to report idiotic theories in diametric opposition to official police statements.
The McCann’ now know they can drop from the top to the bottom, but they haven’t the clue of how far it can go. All those liable to be efficient in the fight of networks or surpass the phoney organisations that cover networks rather than fight them, had to endure the paedo tom-tom.
I am the vice-president of a charity called Werkgroep Morkhoven, founded by Marcel Vervloesem, who has brought the Zandvoort network’s file with photographs of 90.081 children, victims of rape, torture, murder and child pornography. He was accused by nine men involved in prostitution and armed robbery to have raped them when they where children. The Belgian press defamed him for eight years, though written testimony from one of them who admitted they had been paid to file the false accusation. Just as he was discharged of the nine rapes, he was accused again of three new rapes. The only reason why he is still alive is that we exposed the truth through Internet. The website was destroyed 12 times by hacking, showing the importance of exposing the networks. The last one can be found at: http://www.droitfondamental.eu/
If the McCann don’t leave their defence to their lawyer and attack the networks, they haven’t got a chance. How? They have a million pound to:
1. Trace those who started the paedo tom-tom against them, and find the branch of the network that is afraid of them;
2. Prosecute all those the journalists who have denied their presumption of innocence and the Portuguese police for breach of the investigation secrecy, for having mislead the inquiry and diminished the chances to find Madeleine alive;
3. Built public database on the networks, expose the situation;
4. Start private investigation on all the cases of the missing children in Algarve, and paedo criminals known to have been active in Portugal and let us check in our databases if one of them is in the lists of the Zandvoort file.
That will calm the down. It might even bring the Portuguese inquiry to realise they are innocent, so they can sell “forget-me-nots” rather than stirring in that dirt.

The videos of the sniffer dogs barking at the Renault, which the police showed to Kate McCann in effort to force her to confess, seems meaningless evidence to me. Think about it. They used one or more dogs trained to react to odor of missing person and one dog specially trained to react to smell of cadavers. Everyone agrees, some possessions of the missing child had been in the car, so no surprise, dogs would mark that. But the special sniffer dog would have reacted to the scent of ANY cadaver. The police could NOT have prepared it to react only to the odor of this child’s dead body (they haven’t found her body). Anyone on the police team who had come in contact with any cadavar in a morgue and then examined the car could have transferred that odor. I think they need to get rid of the cop who was accused of beating a confession out of a woman accused of killing her 7 y/o daughter. With him on th eteam questions arise about “evidence” like this.

Where did you get the idea the McCann children were in eyeshot?
What have you been reading and where have you come from!
September 15th, 2007 at 1:42 am
this whole thing stinks from start to finish, even if they are only guilt of leaving the kids, possible sedating them and not checking when they say they did, they have severely hampered the investigation. the police have gone with the information they have and therefore have possibly been sent on wild goose chase. they have gone with this info and looked for a possible abduction, then when faced with the evidence supplied by english police dogs have backtracked to the parents which they may have suspected in the first place. they now have reacted to the evidence they have found and what do the english authorities do? send social services out???they will take at least 4 weeks to talk about it and decide whether to go ahead with a protection order and I dare bet that because of the parents career positions they will not go for a protection order because as usual no-one in the department will want to put their name on the line and take action. It will not be popular so therefore just go with the flow. Let’s face it, how many children in the protection plan have ended up dead, that’s how efficient it is!!!
So they will continue as normal, eventually the press will go away and Maddy will still be where she is.
I say that because I no longer believe she is alive(I hope I am wrong)
But without a body we and the prosecution, will never be able to know and prove what really happened
September 15th, 2007 at 1:42 am
Like WOW scoob, I bet it was the Janitor. Who woulda gotten away with it, if it wasn’t for those persky kids!
September 15th, 2007 at 1:25 am
25 days later???

how in the car if she went missing 25 days later/

From today’s Sun: “Today dectectives said they have “nothing concrete” to implicate the McCanns in Madeleine’s disappearance and may be depending on them making a confession, a Portuguese newspaper reported.”
A “high-ranking” Policia Judiciaria officer, who was not named, told 24 Horas: “We have nothing concrete.
“There are a lot of indications, but without more elements it’s impossible to determine what happened in those four vital hours in the case (between 6pm and 10pm on the night Madeleine vanished).
“it’s impossible to determine what happened in those four vital hours in the case (between 6pm and 10pm on the night Madeleine vanished).
“Even if the blood and traces gathered in the car or in the apartment were confirmed to correspond 100 per cent to the little girl’s DNA, that wouldn’t prove anything.”
“Those elements could only confirm - and that doesn’t even happen - that the little girl was in the apartment (which is obvious) and in the car.

Leaving your children within eyeshot is not a crime, as far as I know, (Not that I claim to be an expert in Portuguese law). Immoral or not, given your judgemental individuals, I’d LOVE you to quote me the bit of Porrtuguese law that says Madeleine McCann’s parents have contravened it… please enlighten me…
September 14th, 2007 at 11:57 pm
I think the whole thing stinks but please god it is not the parents because I will have a problem ever believing anyone again
September 14th, 2007 at 11:14 pm
Ponchik makes sense to me. And if the parents or one of them are guilty, they must be on denial for some reason to be able to pretend innocence during the whole Summer and have a media circus like this…
I assume the tests can prove if bodily fluids come from a dead or live body and DNA tests (for identification) can certainly exclude or point out certain family members in this regard. Also I read somewhere that it is possible to prove if hair comes from a dead or a live body and of course trace whose hair it is. Imagine the prosecutor found a bunch of hair in an evidence box - no wonder he passed on the documents to the judge within two hours. For what is a body needed then?
September 14th, 2007 at 11:12 pm
Ponchik tells it straight…..
Eating with friends at a tapas bar is not a crime, nor is drinking lots of wine. Leaving children, who have no defenses against their own potential to cause chaos and possibly serious harm to themselves, is indefensible. The children are conceived of IVF, bless the Lord. This would make you more protective of (admit it… these children are very young, look at the pictures following the flight back… sleeping on a shoulder? carried everywhere, strapped in baby car seats) your precious offspring. But no.. it is deemed to be OK in this era to leave your kids to fend for themselves, god forbid they would get in the way of any social life on holiday???? Why weren’t the push-chairs next to the tapas bar tables, no harm can come to your child if you stay close.
I am tired of the gnawing,nagging suspicion that emenates from the face of these parents, that they are responsible and have played the largest part possible. The language they use is not that of a parent (s) who have lost a 3-year old in the last 4 months. How long is grief? I personally would be inconsolable, and not able to face anything, let alone a world tour and everything else that has ensued. Let’s allow the police to investigate and bring an end to this sorry tale. No-one is above the law, even though it could not prevent the disappearance of Madeleine.
September 14th, 2007 at 10:52 pm
Have they proven the girl died, ponchik? Wow, I had no idea you had such a knowledge of the future.
September 14th, 2007 at 10:49 pm
Ridiculous - what crime are the McCanns charged with? Oh, that’s right, THERE IS NO CRIME. There is a mystery of a missing little girl, whose disappearance some of the bizarre wolves on this website seem keen to pin on her parents. Why don’t we just all wait and see what happens, according to those people who are infinitely better-informed and better-qualified than us to make a decision…
September 14th, 2007 at 10:42 pm
Why is all the media in Britain defending Mccanns? Why do not they give as much opportunity to speak out to any other suspected murderers in the country? I am sure, no murderer, capable of killing their own child and dumping the body into a tyre well, would come and honestly confess to people. Mccanns do the most logical thing from their point of view: they fight for themselves. If a person sacrifices his own baby for his selfish interests, this person wil surely sacrifice any honesty or morality, and fight, denying evidence, accusing police.
And the police do not have to find the body, they already proved that the girl died. It is enough.
September 14th, 2007 at 10:22 pm
Tracey - a body doesn’t prove death. Try telling that to almost 3000 victims of 9/11. How many bodies did they recover from that?
September 14th, 2007 at 10:21 pm
Until there is a body there isnt any proof that Madeleine is dead. So i hope there are still police out there looking for her. Both senarios are possible, that she is dead from overdose , or the police are stumped and are stiching up the parents.
September 14th, 2007 at 10:18 pm

September 14th, 2007 at 10:18 pm
Well, more interesting would it be to learn the whole picture of the Madeleine mcCann case. And maybe we will eventually know more about what really happened, even if it may take months or years.
Not once during these four months did I doubt the mcCanns’ innocence. Even the first rumours of the Portuguese newspapers seemed incredible and cruel. But this past week has violently changed my mind as more and more reports on the forensic tests were leaking to the news. I gradually had to reconsider my standpoint. Even the friends and loving aunties of the mcCann family might have a moment of reflection by now… Maybe we saw what we wanted or were wanted to.
If the worst speculation should be true and the parents are guilty, of course doctors have advanced knowledge about pharmaceuticals and physiology that has been helpful at many stages. I’m appalled to think that a frozen body melting in a car trunk will surely emenate some bodily fluids that can be identified to come from a dead body and furthermore thus analyzed for containing drugs or pharmaceuticals. And hair contains rests of drugs from a period of time, even the siblings’ live hair if I’m correct.
Who is know looking for the little girl alive, as everybody is just defending themselves or accusing somebody else… A bit suspicious.
