News & Events - August 2007

In fact looking over the last 3 days in his blog (since thats as far back as it stretches now), absolutely no mention of doing any 'searching'.

He can't even be bothered with keeping up the pretence that he's actually looking for Madeliene any longer.

If the parents have given up, why does he expect the rest of us to bother?

Does anyone know who the last person to see Maddy other than her parents was, when and where they saw her?
I know that the parents where chatting to a friend Najoua Chekaya, in the hour before Maddy went missing, but did anyone actually see Maddy in the apartment before the parents went out for their meal?
A friend of the McCann’s Jane Tanner is reported to have checked on the children, did she actually check properly and see Maddy or did she just presume Maddy was in her bed, when in fact she might not have been, we all know that sometimes when you check on children you might just listen to them breathing in their beds, if she just saw the bedclothes she may have presumed Maddy was there, when she might not have been?
How many times have we known our children to put things in there bed to make us think they are in it if we check, when in fact they are not in their beds at all, most parents have experienced this at some point. Jane Tanner is reported to have seen a dark-haired man of about 35 carrying a child as she walked back to the bar afterwards but didn’t think anything of it. Which is what makes me wonder just how observant this Jane actually is and if she actually did see Maddy in her bed?
I am playing devils advocate here and not trying to cast aspersions of any kind, it is just my curious mind, looking at every angle. I would like to point out that I am not making accusations against anyone here.
It is after all reported that the witnesses have given evidence that conflicts in one way or another.
I wonder if we will ever know what really happened to Maddy, and like everyone else I have prayed for her and hope that she will be found. http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/349543/maddy_mccann_my_nightmares.html

Have they made to much of the not so common eye disorder. Unless u are really close u will not notice it. The girl could be wearing shades or even now using contact lense to cover it up.. So people who do see her will think oh its not as her eyes is "normal".

Surely if they have taken her people can easily make her look diffrent.. Dye her hair.. cut it so short she looks like a boy..contact lenses,shades..Dress her as a boy..

I know it would be hard putting a lense on a child... as i have tried to use them once and took me hours..but not impossible..

So what worries me could we walk past Maddie and not even notice her..as we have these images drummed into our hearts..



I like the rest of us hope she is found safe and happy xx

Its been on

£946,843.92

Why are they too scared to put

£1,000,000?

Honestly I think its delibrate they arent updating this figure any longer.

Maybe its for money laundering purposes (and before you shoot me down on this, then fine, have the McCanns open their books to the general public, and I will quieten down of the fund)

Bottom line, is no longer do we know what money is going out, we dont even know what money is going in.

Hell of a way to run a 'charity'.

On the local news it has been reported that the parents of this poor child, left him alone whilst they popped into a shop.

It's so sad. When will people learn.

I have told you this before, I am letting you know that I know Saturn Five and i can tell you he is a friend of the McCanns and is advising them of the posts on here.
He will not admit to this but it is true.
Also I bet he will not tell you what his occupation is, but it is why he knows the McCanns.

Whats going on in the media? I read 3 papers this morning all reporting differnet statements from the police overseas.
1 claims they are hours away from proving who did it.
1 says they dont have a clue where she is and are no closer to solving the crime.
And 1 says that the blood found may not have been hers and police are looking at new lines of investigation.


This is NOT a question about being anti or pro Mccann, I just want opinions on the media coverage surrounding the case.
Do they say too much too soon without getting facts straight just to sell papers? Or are the police really giving out different infornation every few hours?

Now that their fabricated superficial facade of naivety is visibly melting away along with their popularity just what now for the McCanns?
Do they stay in Portugal and risk becoming the main focus of suspicion and contempt from the locals or do they come home and risk Social Services and therefore the possible loss of the twins, and the potential loss of their jobs in the medical world?

I can't believe it even got this far without being noticed:

Just goes to show how much money our government has and how hard it is to keep track of it. Someone isn't doing their job right.

Why is this anyone's business besides the family?
Why isn't something relevant in its place?

If thats possible! Islamic extremists have now turned their attention to the Yazidi people, an ethnic and religious minority in Iraq, slaughtering two to three hundred in a bomb attack. Why are muslims worldwide not in uproar over the murder, rape, ethnic cleansing and surpression of minorities in muslim countries then? Hmmm perhaps these events are less offensive than a few cartoons, and that muslims secretly condone these actions?

This just highlights the plight of Minorities such as Assyrians/Chaldeans,Turcomen, Mandeans, Yezidis, Shabaks, Armenians etc who were being slaughtered under Saddam, and are continuing to be slaughtered because of their race and religion (Assyrians, Yazidis, Mandeans, Armenians), their race alone (Turcomans, Shabaks) or their religion (Tlkifs)

It seems to me it would have been better of staying part of India on independence in 1947, or staying under British control.

After all it has a failing economy, is riven by corruption, lawlessness, islamic extremism, dictatorship, religious, ethnic and sexual bigotry and discrimination,is culturally and artistically stagnant, and has contributed nothing positive to the world at large.

India is far from perfect, however it does have democracy, the caste system is being challenged, its economy is thriving, and it has inventive scientific, medical and artistic scenes.

It seems the Indian people and their way of life is somewhat superior to me!
