It isn't unheard of that comment sections get deliberately astro-turfed by people "paid" to sway public opinion and push a narrative. This could be what happens with the MM articles.

The one and only reference to Madeleine McCann having been photographed on a beach derives from a statement made by Nuno Lourenco to the Portuguese Police on Saturday 5 May 2007.

In this post I made over two years and one month ago, I demolished his statement and gave overwhelming evidence that i was a tissue of lies from start to finish.

If you put 'Krokowski' into CMOMM's search bar, several other threads concerning the Krokowksi affair and various aspects of Nuno Lourenco's fabrication can be read. 

There is also a very good visual review of the evidence in the first part of Richard Hall's second Madeleine film: 'The Phantoms', which can be seen here in HideHo's upload:

I cannot emphasise too strongly the immense significance in this case of Nuno Lourenco's fabrication stories.

These are I think the main points:

1  Nuno Lourenco’s statement must be treated as a wholesale fabrication with not a scintilla of truth in it 

2  He claimed the incident of Krokowski photographing his children on the beach occurred on Sunday 29^th April. However, altogether THREE different dates were given for this alleged event

3  Despite what he claimed was a clear attempt to kidnap his young daughter, he delayed reporting the incident until AFTER Madeleine McCann has been reported missing 

4  His deception was clearly planned in advance. To get away with the deception, he had to have taken a photograph of Krokowski’s car, AND he was able to supply the Portuguese Police with information leading to the police obtaining CCTV images of Krokowsli and his wife leaving a Lisbon shop

5  The information about the Lisbon shop was supplied either by Robert Mutat’s uncle Ralph Eveleigh or his manager of the Burgau beach bar 

6  There were other clear connections with Robert Murat: (1) Krokowski was staying at the Sol e Mar, which was maintained by a company founded by Robert Murat’s father and (2) hairs of the same haplotype as Robert Murat and Jane Tanner were found in Krokowski’s apartment

7  The description Lourenco gave of Krokowski (‘not a tourist’, ‘cloth clothes’, ‘classic shoes’ etc.) matched in 17 different respects the descriptions Janer Tanner gave of ‘Tannerman’ and Martin Smith gave of ‘Smithman’. This strongly suggested that all the descriptions came from a single source and therefore suggests collusion

8  The Lourenco deception about Krokowslki caused a major diversion to the Portuguese Police’s investigation as is made plain in Goncalo Amaral’s book,  The Truth about A Lie’. Amaral and his colleagues believed that Lourenco was being truthful 

9  Strong stories that the McCanns had visited Sagres on Sunday and may have been seen by Madeleine’s abductor (i.e. Krokowski) were published in the British mainstream press on 11^th and 12^th May 2007. I showed in my articles on the forum that these stories were sourced from ‘a police source’ or a ‘source close to the investigation’ and I suggested that they were likely planted by Clarence Mitchell or a close colleague of his

10  Within four weeks of Richard Hall publishing his second Madeleine McCann film, the ‘Phantoms’, the Sunday People published a major article about Krokowski, the one and only article about him in the past nine years 

11 The Sun on Sunday and Mail on Sunday articles featuring Madeleine allegedly being ‘photographed on a beach’. came out just 10 days after Richard Hall’s  fourth Madeleine film: ‘McCanns’ Embedded Confessions’.

On May 4th 2007, the morning after Madeleine was reported missing, Yvonne Martin, who worked for child protection services in England, and who was also on holiday in Portugal, introduced herself to the McCanns outside their apartment. She showed them her identification, and offered to help them. Curiously, and despite no leads, Kate McCann told her that Madeleine had been abducted by a couple. This claim also ties in with the report of Kate shouting, "THEY'VE TAKEN HER.''

I'd be very interested to know where Kate got this information from. Exactly WHEN were the Portuguese Police made aware of the Polish couple and did they immediately  pass that information on to the McCanns?

The point that I was trying to make ( and not very successfully by the look of it ) was that if the Portuguese Police had been informed of the  Polish couple AFTER Kate’s  comment that Madeleine had been taken by a couple , this would confirm pre planning, would it not?
