Madeleine McCann’s Name Dragged Into MPs’ Expenses Scandal
IT’S the Fourth Summer Of Madeleine McCann, albeit a belatedly. We had thought this summer would be Our Maddie free unless she was joyously found or there was a clue to what occurred that fateful night.
But she has been in the news for other reasons. Gerry and Kate McCann have speaking with another Home Secretary – this time it’s Theresa May being inducted into her job with a chance to appear caring but do nothing; and we met Kiesha Abrahams, Australia’s Madeleine McCann.
She has still not been found:
The air and ground search for missing six-year-old Sydney girl Kiesha Abrahams has been called off but anyone and everyone remains a suspect. Police announced on Sunday that the massive search in areas around the family’s home at Mt Druitt, in Sydney’s west, has been suspended unless they receive new information.
Now, Our Maddie had made an appearance in the MPs’ expense scandal.
“The saga of the MP accused of making false council tax claims took another bizarre twist last night as an adviser to Kate and Gerry McCann was dragged into the affair.
David Hughes, who was media adviser to the McCanns in the months after their daughter Madeleine disappeared, admitted staying with Liberal Democrat Tessa Munt while she claimed a single resident’s discount.”
Tessa Munt… What a terrific name. But Munter is just a vehicle for more Our Maddie non-news…
Madeleine McCann is missing. Still missing. There are no suspects. We do not know what crime, if any, befell her. But she remains the benchmark of missing children and a defining moment in many people’s careers…

Composite file e-fits of potential suspects which have built up since Madeleine McCann went missing two years ago. From left, a suspect described by Jane Tanner, one of the friends on holiday with the McCanns in May 2007, of a man walking with a child in his arms away from the holiday apartment where Madeleine was sleeping on the night she disappeared, image of a suspects face and a full length image made public in January last year based on a statement given by Gail Cooper, a British holidaymaker. Black and white computer-generated e-fits of two suspicious men seen hanging around Praia da Luz before Madeleine went missing which were released from official police files after Portuguese authorities shelved their investigation but which were never made public by detectives and a e-fit of a suspect released as part of a new TV documentary to mark the second anniversary of Madeleine's disappearance. The artist's impression shows a pock-marked and 'very ugly' man who appeared to be watching the apartment where the little girl was staying with her family on the day before she vanished.
