Madeleine McCann: Lie Test, The Final Word And A Pet Crematorium
MADDYWATCH – Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann.
DAILY MIRROR front page: “McCANNS: WE’LL TAKE LIE TEST.”
A source tells the paper: “They’re happy to do anything that will clear them. If they were asked to take a lie detector test by police, they’d agree.”
To borrow the brand slogan, look into their eyes.
Given the McCanns media savvy, why not take one on Trisha, the daytime TV show. Those results after the break…
Pages 4 and 5: “MADELEINE’S GONE..MADELEINE’S GONE..What mum REALLY sobbed night she vanished.”
A witness tells all. The paper says Kate McCann did not discover Madeleine vanished and say “They’ve taken her, they’ve taken her”.
“’BODY WAS BURIED IN DAD DOG’” – The Mirror sees the latest “crackpot theory” explored by Portuguese police, who questions the owner of a “pet incinerator”.
DAILY STAR front page: “MADDIE BODY BURNED. Cops search remains at pet crematorium”
Pages 6 and 7: “HOW MADDIE MAY HAVE BEEN ABDUCTED.”
Ready? Here goes. And feel free to join in and add your own ideas:
“An intruder climbed through the window after forcing open the shutters…
“The culprit would have sneaked past the sleeping twins…
“The McCanns could not see the patio doors from their restaurant…”
Page 8: “Father Jose Pacheco is alive and in good health. He went missing, as you recall. And whatever Kate and Gerry McCann told him, if anything, he will not say. As the headline thunders: “I’LL TAKE SECRETS TO THE GRAVE.”
DAILY MAIL pages 12 and 13: “She’s gone, she’s gone: what Kate really cried.”
“THE KEY SIGHTING” – Friends of the McCanns claim the stranger seen walking away from the holiday complex “apparently with a child in his arms, was heading towards former chief suspect Robert Murat’s home”.
THE SUN front page: “Maddie parents: We’ll do lie test.”
Pages 14 and 15: “NEW WITNESS BLOWS HOLE IN COPS’ CASE. Madeleine has gone.”
Mark Warner holidays are treating 30 travel agents to an all-expenses paid trip to their compound from where Madeleine went missing.
Page 42 and 43: “SUN COLUMNISTS GO HEAD TO HEAD ON DEBATE THAT’S SPLIT THE NATION.”
JOHN ‘GAUNTY’ GAUNT says: “McCanns left 3 children alone…they’re bad parents, Get them in court.”
LORRAINE ‘KELZA’ KELLY says: “They made a mistake, lost a daughter..and have nothing to do with it.”
THE TIMES page 5: “Bomb man questioned in Madeleine hunt.”
Eef Hoos, who owns the pet incinerator, is a convicted terrorist. He was jailed for seven years for a “series of bomb attacks” in the Netherlands.
DAILY EXPRESS front page: “MADELEINE. BODY HUNT AT INCINERATOR.”
“Was she burnt at pet crematorium?” That question to you, Lorraine Kelly.
Pages 4 and 5: “The Express has a picture of “convicted bomber” Eef Hoos. The furnaces are in two converted freight containers. He says he has never spoken with the McCanns.
The Express see seals on the doors of the incinerators and deduces that that they have not been used since March when condemned by police.
THE INDEPENDENT page 31: “McCanns shock at finding daughter missing was genuine, says witness.”
THE GUARDIAN: No Madeleine news.
