McCanns ponder return to Praia da Luz

Esther Addley
The Guardian,
Wednesday April 9 2008


Kate and Gerry McCann are considering returning to Portugal to stage a reconstruction of the events surrounding the disappearance of their daughter, it has emerged.

As Leicestershire police, observed by Portuguese detectives, began reinterviewing the seven friends who were dining with the McCanns on the night Madeleine vanished, the couple's spokesman confirmed yesterday that they have been in discussions about returning to the Algarve to Praia da Luz to participate in a re-enactment.

Madeleine, then aged three, disappeared on the evening of May 3 last year, while her parents had dinner at a nearby restaurant with the group of friends.

It is understood the McCanns' lawyers have been negotiating for some time with Portugal's Policia Judiciária about returning, but have said that the McCanns would not agree to do so while they remain arguidos, or official suspects, in the case.

Clarence Mitchell, the couple's spokesman, said that thanks to Portugal's secrecy laws he could not discuss the details, but added: "Kate and Gerry would very much welcome a Crimewatch-style reconstruction which is properly broadcast for millions of people to see."

However, it was "very unlikely" that they would agree to return to Portugal while they were still under investigation, he said.

Jane Tanner, who told police she saw a man carrying a child away from the McCanns' holiday apartment, is understood to have been interviewed yesterday at Leicestershire police headquarters in Enderby, observed by officers from the Policia Judiciária who are led by Paulo Rebelo, one of Portugal's most senior detectives.

The purpose of the interviews, Mitchell said, was to clear up any apparent inconsistencies in their accounts.

Went to TWS and read this by Bianca, apparently we all "have no love for children" and Tulip "made a backhanded threat" to her children"
And they think we are all mad?

Look at Bianca'sPost 21.55

Tinks,

The link given by Chinadoll earlier today gives an account by ITN on update of interviews.

Mum21 said...

Rosie,
You forgot to add Bianca says we were really shocked at one of her comments and we did not know how to answer.

I must have missed that one:-)

Anonymous said...

Mum don't forget the 'I gave them what for' or words tothat effect.

Tinkerbell43 said...

Hi Rosie,

Good to see you, hope all is going well.

I've read her post, the girls lost the plot, maybe she is suffering from sleep deprivation. She has taken Tulips comment totally out of context for one, but it is par for the course, its a trait they all suffer with over there.

Re us not loving children, I'm going to treat with the contempt it deserves.

Mum21 said...

Helen,
I notice the forgets to add WE gave her what for. And she beat a hasty retreat

Anonymous said...

rosie

your links stopped at 20 18 so could not see it.

I know though that is why she was here. that is always why she is here.

anyway, her post did not comeup. I am sure I missed nothing....

Tinkerbell43 said...

Thanks Helen, will have a read back.

You know I think I have misjudged Bianca, she is so profound!!!!

'Child neglect is child neglect'

Never would have thought of that myself!!!

Mum21 said...

Well Ladies...I think I will call it a night.
Good Night to you all...and God Bless

A very goodnight to you Mum

Sleep well.

Can I call this my down time?

Tinkerbell43 said...

Rosie,

Just so you know, I told Bianca earlier she was not wanted and was upsetting the blog. I respectfully asked her not to post as her posts would be deleted.

Anonymous said...

rosie

just found it, and posted,

no doubt it will be deleted but that was totally untrue what she said and it had to be challenged. I will give it one minute from

now

go!

re Blanker (Bianca) and her lies.

A parting thought for you all.

It seems Claudia has found herself a new online friend. te he he

I am so pleased (not) because she has seemed lost without her Alsabella.
The difference this time is instead of Claudia hanging on her friends every word. This new friend hangs on every single word Claudia utters.

Yuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkk.

Off now..nite all

Tinkerbell43 said...

Night Mum and everyone else too, I'm off to the land of nod.

Take care, see you all tomorrow xx


Justice for Madeleine and ALL the family.

archer said...

Ha Jane

Got a finger pulse ???

archer said...

Goodnight to you too Tinks

Pleasant dreams x.

Hypocrites said...

Just came bck to discover that that crazy Bianca has accused me on the other blog of threatening her children. Eh? WHAT????

Surely it was clear that I was saying that I wondered what it would take to happen to her in HER life for her to finally understand what is meant by compassion???

Anyway, onto my broomstick and into the night I go.

Anonymous said...

Good night ladies, feeling quite calm so I'll get going while the goings good!!!LOL

Hypocrites said...

I meant to add -- good night all. I have a meeting around the cauldron and have to locate my black cat.

I need a new avatar!

Just before I go, Iv'e just had a thought. Bianca isn't Gina by any chance, they have the same woe is me attitude!!

Goodnight Dear Ladies

Sleep well

I am off too, take care

tinakerbell and mum21

good night sleep well

have a good night away from the 'twiglet zone' ... ha ha ha

numpties the lot of them. bet my post is deleted but they are still yapping about it now.

TULIP I know, I know I know you correcte Blanker, but she was determined to find offence where there was none. IMHO we gave her too much time, too much consideration, we know what she's like. I did not. I have posted but am sure it is now deleted. Who cares. Let's hope next time she puts her ignorant fat face over our cyberspace she is swatted flat like the wasp she is.

archer said...

Jane

Play nicely !!

See you tomorrow.x

Sleep well too.

Anonymous said...

HA HA HA HLENE

you seem a little amused tonight perhaps?

what d'ya mean
*don't let me go to bed in disgrace*? or something

why not? It's what you always have done, why change it now after so long.???? ;o)))))))))))))))))


tee hee hee

archer said...

Jane

Yes , I think we were too polite!!

Too much time and attention - as you say. But, that is the nature of the caring people here.

On you comment about Australia. No offence taken. There are such vast differences between how both countries came into being, that it is a wonder that we didnt go to war in past times.

And from one who is the descendent of a convict (who stole 32 chickens) that was transported, I wish you well. As for the rest of the ancestors, it is suspected that there was a convict back through another branch but my grandfather was a pom, from Luton.

Whereas I was always led to believe that NZ was settled by free settlers. Is that true? I know next to nothing about NZ history, except that you had the Moari wars.

Hi To everyone.

Good morning. Hope you are all well.

Just a quick visit this morning, I am being hassled with a deadline at work.

As for Bianca. We would be totally shocked if anything she wrote actually made any sense. But as that hasnt happened yet, doesnt she realise she just gets ignored because no one can be bothered to answer her.

dianeh said...

Hey there

Just saw Bianca post to Calcite and me. Stupid person, we know she isnt Calcite or Daisy. That post should have been on the Vile blog to the idiots who have been accusing her of being all of us (bit of an exageration I know).

I thought that our posts actually said that she was herself and none of the others. But then what would I know, I only wrote some of them.

I hate it when people make posts in reply and havent read the original post properly. Dont know why she even bothered.

calcite51 said...

Well, well I see Clawdia is threatening this blog again - she's sending our e-mails to the PJ's in Portugal - bring it on, Clawdia.

Your wonderful (choked and sputtered on that one)PJ's can't seem to get off their butts to do a proper search and rescue to find missing children never mind getting off their butts to find posters who say the PJ's have proven they are incompetent, corrupt and just plain stupid.

Bring it on, Clawdia, - we can write books in English, French, Welsh. My book will be title "The Devils of Portugal".

Maybe in Portugal, they have nothing to worry about but the criticism and well deserved I might add towards the PJ's - but other civilized countries have more to worry about then Portugal and their lack of integrity.

Ok, I vented now, I'm better - good evening everyone - I see you were visited by Bianca - no we're not paranoid and oh, yes Vile is so sensible (choke, cough, sputter).

dianeh said...

Calcite

As if the PJ would care what we wrote. They should however be more concerned with the Sky news reporting that said in their report of the McCanns and a proposed reconstruction, that the PJ have been heavily criticised for their handling of the case.

My guess is that Martin wasnt talking about the criticism on this blog. Im fairly sure he doenst read it. So that must mean that criticism is coming from other places, probably more official places and from people much more qualified than us to voice that criticism.

Clawdia, send your emails to the PJ, its your time you are wasting. Send too many and PJ will set your email address to blocked, to stop you wasting police time.

CALCITE AD DIANE

hey diane calcite

don't confuse a good rant

with the truth

no no no

especially by the pj aka plod jokes....

jane

sorry I have probably missed you again. Damn work is interfering this morning. Under the hammer.

The kids are doing well. Little girl has an exploratory surgery tomorrow and we have to travel to our nearest capital city, so am off at 5 am in the morning. Little boy cant come with us because there is no where to leave him while we are at the hospital. So he is staying at Nana's for the weekend. We have to stay near the hospital for 2 days after the operation.

I am nervous about the operation, last time she had breathing difficulties, and well, you can guess how I feel. And I have never been apart from the little boy, not even for a single night. So I am worried about that as well. But he loves his Nana and Grandad, and thinks that their house is his house as well. So I am hoping that he will sleep there alright and not even notice I (and his dad and big sister) arent even there.

So busy at work, got lots to do after work to get packed and away early in the morning.

I dont have emails come from this blog. Can you send me a sample of Blanker (or should that read Wanker) comments? I could do with a laugh.

Cheers

calcite51 said...

Diane - we will be supporting you emotionally as your little girl goes through the surgery.

It's always tough when a child needs surgery. But at least now the doctors know that your daughter experiences breathing problems when under the anestetic so they will probably be very careful and well prepared for any possible problems.

Your little boy will probably miss you, dad and his sister but he will also enjoy being the 'only child' at grandma's and grandpa's.

Glad Sky News is complaining about the PJ's investigation methods.

calcite51 said...

Just went to visit the Vile one's site - Vile has a new fan - her/his id is Viv's a hypocrite - Viv must be out - because it is still on.

calcite51 said...

Rosie - from the other site. Your name is mentioned as well. Can't you feel the loveeeeeeeeeeeeeee - we may be twits but we're not morons.



viv said...
Hi Bianca

Thanks for that which I had read.

Sadly, this is what losing a child does to genuine parents, they never get over it and move on as Gerry suggested "we want to go back to normal". This was such a telling remark, when you have lost a precious child how could life ever be normal again.

I see Calcite had to go back and brag what a little twit she is and Rosie commented how she had earlier been on this site causing trouble. I can understand you feeling repulsed by such people.

Get some sleep darling.

sky.com might be best bet as it was analysing headlines tomorrow, namely express and sun as 'leaks' from PJ re Kate's comments on her so called 'secret statement' that they clearly leaked.

beggars belief.

Loved Mum21's comment not so much law and order aas what she said, 'law and blunder' good one. must remember that. so apt.

sky now doing tomorrow's papers....

this stinks.
