Who would have thought that one year later we would still be waiting to find out what happened to Madeleine?

Jojam said...

It is so sad, I pray that the answer to all our prayers comes soon

Tinkerbell43 said...

One year on and still we are none the wiser as to what happened to that dear little child.

I will never ever forgive the PJ for not looking for Madeleine, I just hope one day she will know her mummy and daddy never stopped looking.

My thoughts are with them all today and my candle will burn brightly tonight for Madeleine.

God bless Madeleine and ALL this family xxxx

Apparently the Expresso newspaper in Portugal is the paper stating that the Mccann's arguido status is to be removed. This link on Portuguese Resident

http://www.portugalresident.com/portugalresident/showstory.asp?ID=26430

Never heard of this paper so don't know how reliable it is. Will try and check.

This is what wikepedia has to say about it maybe called Espresso, not sure.

Expresso is a Portuguese weekly newspaper. It was founded in 1973 by Francisco Pinto Balsemão and is very popular in the country, being considered as a newspaper of record. It belongs to Impresa, a Portuguese media conglomerate which is listed on the Euronext Lisbon stock exchange.

Hi Tinks,

Not a day we wanted to see.
The anniversary of Madeleines disappearance.
One year today and the PJ are still sitting on their ar**s doing what they do best NOTHING to find this beautiful child.

As for the vile blog, today of all days forget them, not even worth mentioning.
Lets do the decent thing today and forget they exist.
Madeleine deserves better!

Christabel said...

I see Murats done a runner for the anniversary WHY.

Is he in Britain again?

Mandz said...

My thoughts and prayers at this time are with Maddie and her family. I hope someone comes forward and gives Kate and Gerry and Met3 the vital information they so desperately need. One can only imagine what pain they and Maddie are in and extended family.

Today must be particularly difficult for them and I hope they get the help they need to get through this day and night. This is truly a sad and emotional time and I hope something good comes out of this tragedy. My light will be on tonight for Maddie.

calcite51 said...

Kate, Gerry, Amelie, Sean, grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins, - we are praying as hard as we can for Madeleine's return to her loving family. We know you all love Madeleine and are doing everything humanly possible to have her return to you.

archer said...

This is an anniversary that we so did not want to see!

An anniversary that will bring so much added anguish.

This is a nightmare that has gone on for far too long.

"What are you doing 'pj' to help bring this child home to her grief stricken family"?

The Candy Floss blog really sucks said...

Archer

Hear, hear, re the PJ

Someone can put an end to all this for the McCanns, someone, somewhere knows something - so why won't they spill the beans? Protecting one person may lead to many more suffering a similar fate to Madeleine's.

Hypocrites said...

I think this self-satisfied pseudo-religious idiot ('what I believe')should be removed asap. His/her contribution is pure viciousness clothed in false sanctimony.

Worry about your sins, WIB. If you are without sin -- not very likely -- throw the first stone, but not here.

calcite51 said...

Tulip - I agree completely with you.

WIB - here's Aunty Vile's site and her little Vilette's.

Hiya Calcite and Tulip

Whoever the pretend religious person is has been posting quite a bit today - always gets removed though!

calcite51 said...

Thanks, Sass.

The Candy Floss blog really sucks said...

Calcite

Thank YOU - you drew my attention to whoever it is in the first place. Noticed your comment on the forum! Will have to check a certain IP!

Mandz said...

Well done the McCann family going to PDL - show them that you will NOT GO AWAY UNTIL SHE IS FOUND... The world wants answers to what happened to Maddie and more importantly her parents

Mandz said...

On the news it said Kate has asked we pray like mad. Of course we will.

The Candy Floss blog really sucks said...

Hiya Mandz

I just read that too - but two minutes ago!

Tinkerbell43 said...

Hey Mandz,

Of course we will, I just wish there was more I could do.

How sad.

Tinkerbell43 said...

Kate said, "Stay with us, Stay with Madeleine and keep praying".

Kate, You Bet! we will continue supporting you every step of the way.

God bless Madeleine and ALL this family.

Tinkerbell43 said...

Madeleine, we're wishing on the same bright star.

We haven't forgotton you little one, hoping, praying, waiting. xxx

Christabel said...

*************MADELEINE*************

The candle I light
is with you in mind

God Bless you and return you safe to Mommy,Daddy,Shaun and Amelie.

Kate, Gerry, grandparents and all the family and friends our thoughts are with you all tonight.

Madeleine's Prayer

Father God, We Pray for Madeleine McCann:
Keep her safe and take away her fear and anxiety;
May your holy angels guard and protect her;
We pray that she may be reunited with those who love her;
Give hope to all her loved ones;
And hear our cry for her safe return;
We offer our prayers in the name of the Good Shepherd;
Jesus Christ, your son and our Lord. Amen
Archbishop of York

Rosiepops said...

Kate Have NO fear

We are here with you, by your side and behind you and Gerry and Madeleine's grandparents and your whole family and we will be here all the time until Madeleine is returned home to you.

Mandz said...

Maddie darling the world is praying you will be found and returned to your parents.
This truly is such a sad and horrifying time knowing she was taken at this time from her loving parent’s brother and sister. Let this be the day she is found.

Mandz said...

In my opinion…The McCann's are innocent take the ridiculous status off them and allow them to continue to look for THEIR child.

You have pulled every nasty trick in the book and it’s time to STOP. This couple will not go away and they will continue to fight for their child even if you gave up.

Kate,Gerry and family we are praying with you – let’s hope God gives you your miracle – you deserve one.

Sky News:
Burglar Snatches Madeleine Sermon Notes

I don't suppose it will distract them from their endeavours this weekend, but two of Kate and Gerry McCanns' closest friends in Praia da Luz have been burgled ahead of the Madeleine anniversary.

Anglican priest Haynes Hubbard and his wife Susan lost a computer that contains personal and confidential email exchanges between the two couples.

The laptop also held notes on which Father Hubbard was basing his sermon about Madeleine at the weekend.

Mrs Hubbard is concerned, too, about private telephone numbers stored on a mobile that was also stolen.

The Hubbards became great friends and comforters of the McCanns in the days after Madeleine's disappearance and have kept in touch since Gerry and Kate returned to the UK.

**********************************
Is this for real..? whatever next?

Rosiepops said...

Hi Mandz, Hi Everyone,

I agree with your 22.00 posts Mandz, it is time this ridiculous circus stopped. Anyone with half a brain knows that Kate and Gerry are innocent, this is absolutely absurd!
There is no evidence and there is no evidence, because they did not do this.

Over the past week and reading some of the ridiculous things they have been accused of by those bungling incompetents, they are even more absurdly bizarre and insane than when the PJ first leaked these stupid stories!

How can anyone that professes to be a serious detective think this was ever probable.

Time to give it up, actually it is past time.

If the PJ had spent as much time trying to find Madeleine as they have trying to pin this on them and making stupid theories up then perhaps this would be a different story now.

Rosiepops said...

Mandz

I thought PDL was supposed to have a low crime rate.

Wait for it the PJ will probably trying pinning this on Father Hubbard and his wife, the next thing we will hear is that they will be made arguidos!

Mum21 said...

Mandz.

You are so very right, we are all praying that today is the day of a miracle. As Kate said....it only needs one person to speak out.
May that person speak out NOW.

May the glow of all the candles light up a pathway to bring Madeleine home.

Tinkerbell43 said...

Hi Rosie & Mandz,

I've just been watching a video of K & G on Sky, from what Gerry said, I understand the status will not be lifted until such time as they decide to bring charges or shelve the case.

According to Ribeiro, he has allegedly said they are undecided whether to bring charges (he didnt say against who) or drop the case.

How on earth can you be undecided after 12 months, you either have evidence or you dont surely!

Unless of course they are still contemplating charging them with neglect in the ABSENCE of anything else.

Mandz said...

Rosie,
I thought PDL was supposed to have a low crime rate.
****************************
lol....Russian guy’s car exploding & now this? Why would anyone want to go this…..Lol... quiet family village (not)?

Mandz said...

Well said Gerry's brother from PDL let them know your family will continue fighting.


Brian Kennedy in talks with Murat -this time last year..? Another twist.

Rosiepops said...

What makes it even more horrifying for these parents, is that they had their beloved daughter abducted and the police just did not believe them.

I know of course that they have to check the parents out and I am not for one minute saying that they should not have, but this should have been done immediately and when it has become clear that these parents were not involved, as I believe it has quite clearly, then why have they not been released from their arguido status?

In my opinion the Portuguese police have acted no better than thugs and bullies.

It has all be some face saving exercise for the PJ and this is why they refused help from Britain and the FBI.

Mandz said...

PJ undecided? You either have EVIDENCE against them or YOU DON’T…. Bloody pathetic. This is people’s lives & we know you don’t have anything. Let Scotland Yard in to INVESTIGATE.

Rosiepops said...

Tinks

How the hell can you even be undecided as to if to bring charges or shelve the case? it doesn't make sense, you either have evidence to charge or you do not and why talk of shelving the case? It is absolutely bloody ridiculous! What Ribeiro has said doesn't not make a scrap of sense at all.

What is the matter with those people? Are they thick?

Rosiepops said...

Mandz

PDL quiet family holiday resort?

Russians cars being blown up, computers being stolen fro, the clergy and innocent children being abducted from their bed.

And that is what we know about?!

Tinkerbell43 said...

Rosie,

Yep, as thick as two planks!

Unbelievable isnt it, what are they going to do flip a coin.

If it wasnt so sad it would be laughable!

Mandz said...

Exactly Rosie why not set up the road block alert borders and if it turned out to be the parents then they would have got more onto their sentence. In my opinion failing in basis stuff is unforgivable because this was a helpless defenceless little girl aged 3 years. If this was my job I would happily step aside and welcome in experts to help save a little ones life. Would a coastguard ignore someone drowning..?

Rosiepops said...

Mandz 22.390 EXACTLY!

How ridiculous is that statement? Bloody pathetic moronic PJ.

Ranked third in the world? (then they woke up)

Mandz said...

There are more stories than Dallas..

Rosiepops said...

There are so many huge errors that have been made by the PJ, personally I think the lot of them should lose their jobs AND Ribeiro, for allowing them to get away with it all!

calcite51 said...

Hi, Mum 21 - I'm glad to see you. Your words are beautiful.

I have lit my candle and am watching and praying as we speak for Madeleine to come home to her LOVING parents, grandparents, etc..

Mandz said...

Ranked 3rd best in the world? Whose world..?!! Was this written in a fictional book by any chance?! Can I put a “w” and take a few letters off towards to end Carol…

Christabel said...

Hi all,

seems a naughty PJ has been sending case documents to an outsider that should not have left the office. This outsider is not a journalist or Portuguese.
This has been confirmed.

Can anybody repair the colander in that god foresaken PJ drabble.

Rosiepops said...

This Ribeiro ?statement on Sky, of course, is yet another thing to try and divert attention away from the FACT that Madeleine was abducted and the PJ has cocked up MASSIVELY under his (Ribeiro's) watch!
He also knows that this past week has been absolutely dreadful for the PJ, the whole world has realised just how useless Portugal's police actually are and the publicity has been extremely bad for them, that coupled with plummeting holiday makers and I think the penny is dropping.

Cant decided whether to charge or shelve the case?

let me make your minds up for you, you load of ******s NEITHER!

Drop the arguido status from the McCann's and start doing your damned job and follow up all those leads and information you have been given and start looking for Madeleine, you a**eholes!

Mandz said...

Mandz.

You are so very right, we are all praying that today is the day of a miracle. As Kate said....it only needs one person to speak out.
May that person speak out NOW.

May the glow of all the candles light up a pathway to bring Madeleine home.
***********************************
Hi Mum21!
Lovely to see you! Well said..may that one person speak NOW. I hope you’re not back out on the road?! Stay off ma patch!

Rosiepops said...

Hi Christabel

what is that about then?

Mandz said...

Ribeiro what he said is that not breaking another dare I say it..Secrecy law??

Christabel said...

Rosie,
will keep you all informed, as and when.

Another bring and buy sale?

Mandz said...

I have lit my candle and am watching and praying as we speak for Madeleine to come home to her LOVING parents, grandparents, etc..
*********************************

Me too Calcite!

Mandz said...

Tempers have flared outside the village church in Praia da Luz over a "grotesque" mannequin of how missing Madeleine McCann would look at 18.
***********************************
Is this for real.....?

Rosiepops said...

Hi Calcite,

I didn't notice you there. I have lit my candle and it is outside in my huge patio tub in my front garden being protected from the wind by ivy and it is actually flickering away there! In my back garden I have lit the garden light.

I have also said a prayer for Madeleine.

Rosiepops said...

Mandz,

Surely not in that paragon of virtue country Portugal?

Why her aged 18 anyway? Can't understand this.

Mandz said...

Rosie
I think it was a Brazilian woman who perhaps thought she was doing a good thing.

dianeh said...

Hi to you.

I have made an effort to join you on this very sad day.

A day I never thought would come, 1 year missing, 1 year without her mummy and daddy.

I thought about Madeleine a lot yesterday (this was our May 3) and I just wish there was more we could do to find her.

Rosiepops said...

What really p****** me off is that the PJ requested of the Leicestershire constabulary that they *observe the Portuguese secrecy* laws, while the PJ leak like sieves and now their boss is joining in!

Tos***s!

calcite51 said...

can see that not one of the comments about the PJ's are going to make it on Claw's bogue of adoration for the PJ's.....

Didn't Alsabeliar say one time on her blog that tourism was way up after Madeleine's abduction? Okay, she would never say abduction because according to her Madeleine was NOT abducted, tourism numbers were NOT down but UP, PJ's are wonderful and can do nothing (oops, sorry Alsabeliar) do no wrong - I'm the one that says they do NOTHING! Didn't Alsabeliar say the PJ's needed a university degree to become PJ's - I read that no they didn't need an university education - most of them don't have a university education - another little lie?

Mandz said...

Hi DianeH

It is just so sad and heartbreaking. Like you I wish I could do something.

ps did you get the bed sorted and is he in it?! Lol...

Tinkerbell43 said...

Hey Diane

Nice to see you, its been a very sad day.

I'm pleased some family members went out to PDL, apparently Kate sent a message of thanks to the people of PDL & Portugal, which was to be read out. Here she has asked that we stay with them, stay with Madeleine and keep praying.

Like you, I wish there was something else we could do.

Mandz said...

Good point Rosie!
In my opinion it appears they have wasted our police time.

Rosiepops said...

Hi Diane

So good to see you. yes it is a very sad day, but even on a day like this that shower PJ cannot keep their own secrecy laws!

Mandz said...

Calcite!

No change there then with that lot!

dianeh said...

On the comment about the PJ shelving the case or making charges. The justice system can remove the arguido status without doing either of those things.

I think it is time the PJ considered that the reason they cant make a case against the McCanns is that they are innocent and drop the arguido status. I would also suggest that the same be done for Robert Murat, or else charge him. After everything that has happened, I now think that Murat was probably set up as well, to make it look as though progress was being made. And as they investigated him, the PJ found nothing, except a friend giving him a false alibi, until the witnesses came forward to say he was there on the night. But the PJ didnt want to hear that, because it blows their theory on the McCanns out of the water.

I was watching Skynews this morning and it seems that they are suggesting the arguido status will be lifted within the next few weeks. I wonder if this is just secondhand reporting but I doubt it, as they generally check their sources before they go to air.

Mandz said...

You know it's strange I keep thinking that something is going to happen today. It must be the build up of this - I keep thinking she is going to turn up.

Rosiepops said...

There IS something we can do, we can all keep the pressure up by writing to the British Prime Minister, the British Foreign Sec David Miliband and Minister for Justice Jack Straw.

Even if people from abroad write to these people the more the better and the British can also write to their MEP's and their MP's too.

Keep this up, I have been doing it for a while now.

Tinkerbell43 said...

Hi Calcite

The blog was built on lies. Once a liar always a liar!

calcite51 said...

Hi, Diane - it has been an extremely sad day - poor Kate and Gerry.

I was able to watch 20/20 last night and it was all about Madeleine McCann. An FBI profiler (he may not be with the FBI anymore - not sure) did NOT think Madeleine had been harmed by the parents and he wasn't very complimentary of the PJ's.

Mandz said...

What I find strange is Murat's Lawyer on TV saying Brian Kennedy was having talks with Murat this time last year. Why did he do this and who is benefiting from this..?

dianeh said...

Mandz

We all wish she would turn up and it is the anniversary that makes us feel this way. She is in the front of our minds at the moment, even more so than usual. On this anniversary, we feel that it is imperative that there should be some sort of closure. So we expect it today.

Rosiepops said...

Mandz,

I have been feeling this too! I just keep thinking she is going to be found somewhere in Portugal, probably where she has just been put out of a car or something.

dianeh said...

Caclite

No expert has ever come on the tele and said that Madeleine wasnt abducted. I too have noticed that. Also, I cant remember seeing anyone being supportive of the way the PJ have conducted themselves. In fact, it seems the opposite and many reports are now being overly critical of the PJ. It seems 1 year has been long enough for the press, they expect results now.

dianeh said...

Who is Brian Kennedy?

dianeh said...

Seems that there is an escapee tonight from Broadmoor.

Rosiepops said...

Mandz

I was going to ask about that, how odd, what is all that about? Brian Kennedy is the one bank rolling the McCann's legal team!

But remember this Murat's lawyer is a nutcase and gaff prone and also prone to
insane and unprofessional outbursts.

maybe the McCann's legal team contacted Murat's lawyer about something? Then again perhaps Kennedy didn't and Murat's lawyer is having delusions?

I'll switich it over before I go off.

Rosie,

Murats lawyer said it on the news this evening. See email.

Mandz said...

Top Conservative calls for Europe-wide missing children alert

McMillan-Scott MEP calls for review of law relating to child abduction across EU

Mr McMillan-Scott, a father and grandfather, who has been campaigning for years for higher standards in child cases across Europe, said: "Each case of child abduction, whether by parents or others is a tragedy. Some are made worse by the way they are handled by countries, courts or public agencies. We also need to look at the principles of child law across Europe. The Conservative Government brought in the Children Act in 1989. This provided for independent legal representation for children among other measures, which are barely known elsewhere in the EU, let alone internationally."
*******************************

Well said Mr Scott.

Mandz said...

Right everyone good night & God bless x

dianeh said...

OK, now I know who Brian Kennedy is.

Maybe he believes Murat is being set up as well. Who knows? As I said earlier, that is the conclusion I am coming to. If there were evidence against Murat, he would be charged.

I think there is unanswered questions, at least to us, maybe not to the PJ but still if the PJ cant prove a case, remove the arguido status. After all, they cant all be guilty, unless we are back to the giant conspiracy again.

So maybe Kennedy (if it is true) is seeking justice for Murat as well. None of which looks good for the PJ.

Tinkerbell43 said...

I'm off now all,

Hope to see you tomorrow,

Nite and take care x


God bless Madeleine, sleep peacefully little one xxx

Rosiepops said...

Diane

I agree with you, I have never heard one credible person saying the PJ have run a good and proper investigation, (except for the PJ and their groupies with loose knicker elastic) But one would hardly term them as credible anyway!

Rosiepops said...

Night Tinks

Sleep well Take care xxx

Rosiepops said...

Mandz

And the bill Introduced by the McCann's in the European parliament has got around 130 signatures the last time I heard it mentioned, looks like nearly every country will end up supporting it.

I wonder if Portugal will sign it?

dianeh said...

Oh Dear Rosie

Support the bill, wouldnt that be a bit like admitting the PJ have got it wrong?

calcite51 said...

Oh, dear me, how will that affect the adoration blog for the PJ's?

calcite51 said...

I have to leave in a few minutes - going to volunteer at the Drop-in Centre with the people from work.

Good night everyone, this last week is catching up on me,
see you all tomorrow, lets hope that when we wake up there will be news that Madeleine has been found. xxx

I saw this yesterday on the other blog:

Ana said...
Viv,

I was just thinking on posting that sensitive post on here, but then I thought in not doing it...But I will post Calcite’s response:

calcite51 said...
The moderators must be off tonight otherwise the last comment by what I believe should NOT be allowed to stay on. Please read the title of this blog - Justice for ALL the Family - we are not here to condemn the family.

What I Believe is that you are best going to Auntie Viv's site to make a comment as you have?
03 May 2008 03:44
--------------------------------
Calcite,

Justice for all the family it will be possible if justice for Madeleine is done too! Those who are responsible for her "disappearance" must be put in jail for a long period, if you know what I mean!!!We all want justice for poor Madeleine.

*Soon, very soon the world will know the "Truth about the Lie" and "we will gain truth and justice for a little girl who has no voice", dead on the evening of May 3rd at apartment 5A, Ocean Club, Praia da Luz, Algarve, Portugal"*-Gonçalo Amaral, The Great!


Oh, Ana (Alsabella, Marla whatever other name you give yourself):
Goncalo Amaral, The Great - that numbskull is not respected by FBI profilers, by professionals from Scotland Yard or the British police - they got him to lose his position in the Madeleine case. As for the book he's writing, my guess is that he will not be offered the $2 Million dollars that the McCanns have. That must upset you. You and your little buddies will have to buy a lot of copies of his book to get $2 Million and if he ends up in jail, then I just don't see anybody buying his book but you, Vile and Claws.

calcite51 said...

Oh, Ana - the SANE world knows the truth - that the PJ's are corrupt, incompetent ediots who have really tarnished the reputation of Portugal.

calcite51 said...

Oh, one last thought Ana Banana - LOL, LOL, LOL, LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLL! On a sad occasion, YOU made me laugh and just so you understand - I was NOT laughing with you but AT YOU!!

Hi Calcite & well said!

Soon very soon the MCann’s will be released from their pathetic status given by goncadonk. The truth will be out and we know Maddie was let down badly however Met3 and McCanns are looking for our girl whom we all care so deeply about unlike most on vile site. Kate and Gerry are fighting for their daughter they are her voice – everything they do is for Maddie.

Perhaps some should look at Joana case if you know what I mean!!!!!

Mandz said...

Sky News:
The couple also revealed that their appeal for new information from the public produced an "absolutely fantastic" response, with their new telephone phone line "overwhelmed" with calls.

***********************************
I pray something comes of this.

Tinkerbell43 said...

To the people that knock the McCs for all the interviews they have been doing, its so easy to say when its not your child!

This is the last time they will have publicity of this magnitude and they need to capitalise on it, think to yourselves before you have a bitch, would you like to live with never knowing what happened to your child.

Yes they did ask for the Media's help in finding Madeleine, wouldnt you, if it were YOUR child. How could they have possibly have known
it would still be in the news 12 months down the line.

If the PJ had waited one more week before making them arguidos, when they would have NEEDED to have had EVIDENCE, maybe the media circus everyone is supposedly so sick of wouldnt have happened.

These parents have not only been trying to find their daughter against all the odds they have also been made to fight for their own lives.

The PJ can end this now, there is no-one stopping them, after all we have been told time and time again about ALL the evidence they have. But no, what will follow now is more lame excuses, more leaks and more smears. WHY ????

Madeleine's parents 'frustrated by police'

On the first anniversary of the child's disappearance from the family's holiday apartment in Praia da Luz in the Algarve, Kate and Gerry McCann said that it was "incredibly frustrating" that they continued to be denied access to crucial police files.

Mr McCann, 39, said: "We don't know what's been done. It's just incredibly frustrating."

Mrs McCann, 40, also spoke of her anger that information gathered by the British and Portuguese police had not been passed on to the couple, and vowed to continue the search for her daughter who they believe was abducted but could still be alive.

"We obviously didn't get access to any of it, we don't know any of the information that came in," she said.

"Obviously, the information's out there. No person can exist and not be seen or known by anyone.

"This is a heinous crime, and there's a little girl who's completely innocent. It would be a terrible disservice to Madeleine if we didn't keep looking for her."

The couple also spoke of the "tremendous trauma" that their entire family had experienced since their daughter vanished, a few days before her fourth birthday.

"An abduction alone is enough to destroy a family," said Mr McCann.

The Candy Floss blog really sucks said...

OMG - What does Ana smoke??? Gonc The Great???? Gonca the Plonker is nearer.

Tinks I totally agree. The press has used the McCanns enough, the McCanns should be able to use the press on the anniversary of Madeleine's disappearance. Oh and for all the Vile lurkers out there, yes I know the McCanns used the press at the beginning to get Madeleine's story publicised, but the press didn't run the story because they are altruistic, but because they made money out of it. They then realised quite how much money Madeleine could bring them and went into moron gear with their stories.

However, Tinks, poor deluded souls on Vile's think they are perfect, so nothing will ever ever happen to their children (they may be new-age travellers who litter the countryside with beer cans, but that's beside the point).

They pointed out the dangers of children falling out of bed - I did that when I was little and my mum and dad were in the next room. They certainly weren't sitting next to my bed with their arms outstretched all night, so they could catch me!

Mandz, I really hope something comes of these phone calls, too, but I can't help but wonder, why suddenly just because there is a new number people suddenly remember stuff. I don't doubt people call the number, but I just wonder about the quality of the information after so much time.

The Candy Floss blog really sucks said...

You'll notice a slight change in format on the forum. You'll also notice that unless you are logged in, you won't be able to see a couple of the areas. This means that the main areas can be read by everyone, commented on only by members and the "chat" and "forum" categories can now be read only by members.

Have fun with it!

Mandz said...

Tinks to hell with the people who are sick with the media! They did the right thing and if they did not highlight her abduction then no one would ever have known about her and the police errors.

Christabel said...

Mandz,

Interesting article and a little suspicion as to why the McCanns are being denied access to crucial police files.

It really makes me more suspicious of the PJ, Murat. His lawyer Francisco Pagarete has been on sky news saying, they didn't find anything against Murat.
By listening to the report, it sounds very much that he has seen the crucial police files.
If not how is Robot much happier now.
What about the lies and false alibi his "friend" Tuck told for him.
Malinka LIED
Walzchuc LIED

I don't suppose these count as the stitch up only concerns the McCanns.

Well Gonc and his side kicks, will have to try harder.
There is at least on good PJ who has been sending case documents to an outsider (money must be good)or one at leas has a conscience

Did Jenny set table up yesterday on the beach in case anyone remembered anything, but scared to speak to the PJ. Nah!

Good morning all

Sorry if you have all seen this interview with Kate & Gerry before. It is certainly worth a watch. They are both so frustrated with the questions being asked.

Hiya Christabel

How are you doing? Not really around on blog much - trying to make forum less sterile-looking!

Tinkerbell43 said...

Exactly Sass,

What good is it to Madeleine to keep asking why did you leave her. These people are no better than the PJ, because all they are continuely doing is detracting away from the real issue, Madeleine is still missing, she has to be out there somewhere and what are they doing to find her.

The McCs are right, if the PJ are not going to do anything with all the information and leads that have come forward, then pass the bloody information on. Too much time has been lost already!

Mandz said...

Hi Christabel,

Very interesting isn’t it..? What really is going on..? The guy’s car exploding why did this happen…?
In my opinion: setting up a stall for whose purpose…..?

Mandz said...

Hi Sass,
Who knows maybe people did not get through or passed their info onto the police however have not heard back? Maybe people doubted themselves due to the leaks suggesting the McCann’s were involved? Now they can see the McCann’s are innocent & want to give what they have? I don’t know but at least the McCann’s and Met3 can start to eliminate these people!

Mandz said...

Tinks & Sass,
They constantly go on about the McCann’s failing Maddie however they think it’s acceptable for the PJ to have failed her? Double standards..

Christabel said...

Hi Tinks, Mandz and Sass,

Makes you wonder what is really going on doesn't it?
At least some of these documents have now been leaked to an outsider, so they are going to have to tread very carefully.

Something that is always thrown up by viles lot is Mrs Fenn.
If as she is supposed to have done, sat and listened to the children cry for 2 hours, what kind of person is she to not do something about it?

The documentary the other night, also showed what a liar that waiter is! He said Kate shouted from the balcony LIE.
His wife does not work at the same Tapas bar as a waitress, she works at the Millennium Restaurant, where they all went the first 2 nights.
How convienient that these 2 happen to work at the 2 places in question in the run up to Madeleine being abducted!

Tinkerbell43 said...

Hey Mandz,

So true. There is key information in PDL. If the opinion, due to the PJ's manipulation was K & G were involved and Madeleine was dead then just how much information didnt come forward and was dismissed as a result.

Having watched the 12 month documentary, anyone with an ounce of common sense can see these parents were not involved and it may now spur people on to come forward. Someone out there has the vital piece of information.

Tinkerbell43 said...

Hi Christabel,

I always thought Madeleines best chance would be for a member of the PJ to have a conscience, it sounds as if maybe one does!

I've always had my own suspicions about the waiter as you know, I strongly believe someone was operating from within, but imo there are a number of local accomplices, small fry but involved in protecting something much bigger!

Christabel said...

Tinks,

I hope it does come out.
Yes the waiter, I wonder if the PJ will re question him on his LIES.

Funny all this coming out now!
How long as Alsabliar been off the scene?

The Candy Floss blog really sucks said...

Just read the comments about that weird mannequin which was supposedly of Madeleine. What a totally weird thing to do. It looks like a Girl's World on a pole! The idea was to show you "can't be an adult unless you were a child".

Strange!

Mandz said...

Christabel,

Exactly what is going on? Let’s say hypothetically speaking (my opinion only) that Murat was involved and his mother set up a stall for information this would be a good thing for them surely – hand the information to the suspect for them to do whatever they feel like. I’m not suggesting this happened it’s just my opinion.

Also let’s say hypothetically speaking Malinka was involved which I don’t know if he was or not again just my opinion: His car explodes why? To get rid of any evidence. Who knows however it makes one wonder.

ps who are you all talking about that has handed over bits of the case...?

Mandz said...

Christabel,
Re Mrs Fenn....I have often thought.(if true?). how could she listen to a child cry for that long knowing they were alone or not?? That does not make any sense. She could have called the MW reception and told them or went to see if they were ok.. Surely?

Mandz said...

In my opinion: I believe someone in PDL knows what happened to Maddie however the errors have allowed them to "get away with it" so far...Have the police knocked on everyone's door in PDL & interviewed some. I just feel not enough has been done there.

Rosiepops said...

Mandz,

I think that there is much more to this than is being let on by the PJ.

Not pointing any fingers but I have been thinking of writing a book (well all the PJ have!) The theme would go something like this:

"Someone is bankrolling someone to keep quiet and "forget" this abduction. Could be some high ups in the police force and in the Portuguese government.
Others are being threatened into being quiet because they have done things they know would get them beaten up in prison.
Someone who levies in PDL very near, is scared out of their skin. Cars blowing up and set alight, strange messages being scrawled onto sidewalks.
More and more witnesses coming out and placing someone where they say they were not.
Then as if by magic a person appears and says he was in Portugal that night that strongly resembles an official suspect, but does not actually admit to being in PDL, he says he was at home after flying in from abroad on business that day! Anyway this person strongly resembles a suspect and works in the same business and yet strangely enough they say they do NOT know of each other, only the plot thickens and the mystery deepens when it is discovered that this man is an actual relative of the suspect he strongly resembles, in a small village in the same business, yet they do not know each other, have never met, not even been mistaken for each other before.
All very strange."


All based on fiction and any resemblance to anyone in real life is purely coincidental.

Rosiepops said...

Mandz,

They haven't even done a proper ring search!

Rosiepops said...

Christabel

How come that Robert Murat is allowed to get away with making false statements to the police? How come Tuck Price has not been spoken to about giving his friend Murat a false alibi?

Yet because there is some inconsistencies in some of the time lines across NINE witness statements, the PJ flew to the UK to re question 7 of them? Mid you it did take them 11 months to arrange to do that I suppose.

Bloody buffoons those PJ, could not detect their way out of Hampton Court maze, or the kiddies crazy golf course.

Hi Everyone

On Mrs Fenn

Here is a quote from an article in the dailymail from 13th Sept.

------------------------------
Last night the McCanns got a boost when the police case appeared to be undermined by a pensioner who is potentially a key witness.


Pamela Fenn, 81, lives above the apartment where Madeleine disappeared and is reported to have told police she heard Madeleine screaming below.


But yesterday she broke her silence to say it was "absolute rubbish" she had made any such claims to police. Mrs Fenn said: "I didn't even know that family was in there."

Mrs Fenn, has clearly said that she never heard Madeleine crying. This is another blatant lie that was leaked to the press.

Vile and her cronies conveniently forget that fact. And by reading this article, it appears that Mrs Fenn has spoken publicly herself and it is not a 'leak'.

Just thought I would highlight for you. I get quite sick of hearing this so called piece of evidence about Mrs Fenn, when it is just lies.
