Madeleine McCann: blaming gypsies is the cheapest solution
Madeleine McCann: as we approach the tenth anniversary of her vanishing the news is coming thick and fast in the British Press.
The Mirror (front page): “MADDIE ‘WAS SNATCHED BY RICH FAMILY’.”
Not poor gypsies, then? Not a paedophile – well, not a poor one. And she didn’t wander off. Madeleine McCann was stolen. The Mirror has more:
Missing Madeleine McCann ‘was snatched AFTER leaving apartment to look for parents’
She walked out the door and someone passing buy stole her. Maybe. Because what looks like fact to the Google news bots and headline readers is one man’s opinion. This is the “shocking new abduction theory”.
The man with the theory is Danny Collins.
The three-year-old could not have been taken from the Portuguese flat as the window shutters could only be opened from the inside, journalist Danny Collins has claimed.
The writer, who covered the case at the time, is convinced she left apartment 5a in Praia da Luz looking for her parents before being kidnapped and possibly sold to gypsies.
The gypsies did it?! If you’re going to guess who stole a child walking about a busy holiday complex searching for their parents dining in the area it’s always easy to Press f9 and blame the gypsies. No-one has yet claimed the Jews took her and used her blood to make Matzos and a ritual drink, but give it time.
With no evidence linking gypsies to the child’s vanishing, the story seems happy to point the finger at a group with long history of persecution. That’s revolting.
Says Collins, who has written a book on the case:
“I came across no clear indication that a planned abduction took place that night. Madeleine awoke and took the opportunity offered by the open patio doors to leave the apartment.”
He’s done lots of research and spoken with lots of people. He’s not found the child. But:
From his findings Collins believes “the most logical conclusion” was that she was snatched by a passing “itinerant” looking for some quick cash.
But Madeleine’s parents still insist the tot would not have wandered out, saying she would have had to open a patio door and two gates, one with a child safety lock, and close them afterwards.
The Mirror’s front-page screamer is sourced in the Sun. Over there we read:
But nearly ten years on, veteran investigative journalist Danny Collins believes he may have uncovered the truth behind the disappearance of little Madeleine McCann.
May. The Mirror’s front-page fact is looking sketchy. But gypsies continue to take a battering. Below a picture of the child in an Everton FC shirt, the Sun writers: “The shocking new theory claims Madeleine McCann could have been stolen by gypsies.”
Disgusting stuff.
Collins is quoted:
The McCanns overlooked the simplest of truths that would later be seized on by the Portuguese investigators and see them considered prime suspects.
“The metal shutters were impossible to lever upwards more than 1-2cm. Nor did the shutters or the sills on which they rested in the closed position show any marks of an attempt at forced entry.”
But what of the gypsies getting treated as suspects?
During his investigations, Collins was told by Iberian travellers that if Madeleine had been found on the street it was likely she would have been taken and a plan hatched to extract a ransom or reward.
But then, given the immediate high-profile nature of the case, they might have sold her to Romany gypsies.
Collins thinks this is the “most logical conclusion”.
As we grab the torches and mach on those Romany gypsies, other news sources have more on ‘Our Maddie’. What about the money?
The Independent: “Madeleine McCann may have been kidnapped by slave traders and sold, claims ex-Scotland Yard detective.”
May. There it is again, that word that can also mean ‘may not’. And who buys and sells children?
Gangs who operate in Mauritania, West Africa, reportedly sell children to rich Middle Eastern families
White slavers!
Leicester Mercury: “Madeleine McCann: New information in the hunt for missing Rothley youngster.”
Information or speculation?
An employee of the holiday resort where Madeleine McCann went missing 10 years ago could hold the key to solving the mystery of the missing toddler, it has been claimed.
Yep. It’s speculation.
In a ‘world exclusive’ Australian documentary aired today, former Scotland Yard police officer Colin Sutton told reporter Rahni Sadler: “There is an employee, somebody who worked within the Ocean Villa complex who has some information or some knowledge that may be of assistance.”
One man’s opinion is a world exclusive. So is this. So is that last breath you took, and the next one. It’s all unique and exclusive. And it’s all utterly useless in finding out what happened to Madeleine McCann.
Meanwhile, Madeleine’s parents, Kate and Gerry, told the makers of the programme, called Sunday Night, that they would not rest until they had found their daughter.
Kate said: “It’s every parent’s worst nightmare, and it’s touched everybody, I think.”
She added: “I don’t believe we would ever reach a point where we think, ‘Oh, we’ve done everything now’. Whilst the situation remains as it is, Madeleine is out there and she needs us to find her.”
Stay tuned:
While there is no evidence that Madeleine is not alive, the programme looked at theories about why, if she had been killed, her body had not been found.
Is there evidence of gypsies? Can an entire race sue?
Mr Sutton told Sunday Night that despite Portuguese authorities conducting their largest ever police search, it was possible Madeleine’s remains could still be hidden in the Praia da Luz area.
He said it was “just large enough and difficult enough terrain to search” that police officers could “search for years and still not be satisfied you’d actually done it properly”.
Thanks. Very helpful.
Publisher of The Portugal News Paul Luckman said he believed there are up to 600 wells scattered throughout Praia da Luz, and that Madeleine’s remains could be in one of them.
He believes there are 600 wells that could contain a body of a child who could be alive. Got it?
He said: “[In] five, 10 years time, somebody suddenly decides to clear the well and they will bring it back into operation… they would clean it out and bones would be found.”
And on and on and on it goes.
Daily Star (front page): “MADDIE: MI5 HID HER BODY.”
In a bombshell documentary aired today on Australian TV, Goncalo Amaral suggested MI5 helped to hide Maddie’s body.
It’s duelling ex-cops on the telly.
The detective made the shocking claims on Aussie show Sunday Night which had said it would be revealing a major new lead in the disappearance case.
Amaral said MI5 “for sure had an involvement” in what happened to Maddie.
Proof? Evidence?
“I’m saying for sure [MI5] have an involvement in the situation”
Proof? Evidence?
On the same TV show, in response dad Gerry McCann said: “The less said about Goncalo Amaral the better.”
This might be the least edifying episode yet.
SMG: “Madeleine McCann’s parents deny killing or being negligent of their daughter on Sunday Night.”
Gerry McCann spoke to the show. He is quoted:
“The ludicrous thing is that Madeleine died in the apartment by an accident and we hid her body,” Mr McCann told Sunday Night. “Well, when did she have the accident and die? ‘Cause the only time she was left unattended was when we were at dinner, so if she died then, how could we have disposed of or hidden her body? You know, when there was an immediate search?
“It’s just nonsense! And if she died when we were in the apartment, or fell, why would we cover that up?”
Do not try to answer those questions. Libel is pricey.
When asked by Sunday Night reporter Rahni Sadler “Did you kill your daughter?”, Mr McCann replied: “No. No. Never.
“And you know, there’s nothing with any logic that could, you know… You would have to start with why? How? When? Who? And there’s just simply, you know, no answer to any of these things – there’s nothing to suggest anything. So no – that’s an emphatic ‘no’.”
He asks the questions. But, again, do not try to answer them here. It’d be speculation. Stick to blaming gypsies, who haven’t sued anyone for defamation (yet).
The Sun: “‘THEY ANNIHILATED ME’ Madeleine McCann crime expert who told doc her parents Gerry and Kate may have hidden body plans to sue show for twisting her comments.”
You see.
A CRIME expert who told an explosive Madeline McCann documentary her parents could have hidden their daughter’s body plans to SUE the Aussie TV channel which ran the show.
US criminal profiler Pat Brown featured on Channel 7’s Sunday Night show claiming Gerry and Kate McCann could have put Maddie’s body in a bag, hid at the beach and moved it weeks later.
But the expert – who told the show there was a possibility Madeleine had been killed as the result of an accident, neglect or abuse – now plans to sue the network for defamation.
Pat claims in her original hour-long Skype interview with journalist Rahni Sadler that she made it clear this was only a theory based on her view of the evidence available.
Some theories are cheap. Other theories can be expensive. Says Pat:
“I never stated the McCanns were guilty of anything other than neglecting their children, and I will stand by that. I never said the McCanns are guilty of covering up the death of their child or moving their child’s body. The show purposefully set out to destroy my reputation. The only reason I was featured was to annihilate me by making me look foolish.”
To recap: aliens took her. Probably. But not the ones with expensive lawyers. The other ones.
Such are the facts.
