Pulse Films will investigate the disappearance of Madeleine McCann for Netflix

If that didn't put the willies up G McCann and induce a depressive state, I don't know what would.

Exhibit A >>>    

Gulp !!!

 IMO something has spooked GM enough to make him feel the need to talk about his mental health and it could be this. If all we get is the usual suspects spouting the usual nonsense I will be very surprised because Netflix has gained its reputation for taking risks and giving filmmakers far more freedom than other networks.

ATTN EMMA COOPER, MANAGING DIRECTOR, NON-SCRIPTED TELEVISION, PULSE FILMS

 

Dear Emma Cooper.

 

We refer our recent 'phone call about the Madeleine McCann documentary you are helping to make.  

 

We read this on the internet a few months back:

 

"The eight-part true-crime series is being made in association with Viacom-owned Hollywood studio Paramount Television. It aims to shine a light on the three-year-old’s disappearance in 2007, and will include interviews with key figures and investigators. Pulse managing director of non-scripted television Emma Cooper is exec producing the project. The Vice-owned indie declined to comment".


As you will know, the disappearance of Madeleine McCann remains an abiding mystery. There have been several TV documentaries on the case, but none of them seems to have got anywhere near solving this deep mystery.


The Portuguese Police investigation co-ordinator, Goncalo Amaral, and his team  concluded, from the evidence, that Madeleine had died in her parents' holiday apartment and that they had conspired to hide her body and perform what has been described as a 'hoax abduction' scenario. The evidence provided by internationally-respected top sniffer dog handler, Martin Grime, was a major part of that evidence, as in his report Grime claimed that his two cadaver dogs had detected the 'smell of death' in no fewer than 17 locations in Praia da Luz associated with the McCanns. 


We have seen reports on the internet that members of your team, as part of their researches, have been to Praia da Luz and spoken to Sergey Malinka, a close friend of the first suspect in the case, Robert Murat, and to David Jones, a local businessman and a long-time friend of Malinka, and probably Robert Murat as well. At the time Netflix researchers were said to be talking to them, both Jones and Malinka had embarked on a strange project to raise funds for a book Malinka was supposed to be writing about his life story and his involvement in the Madeleine McCann case, called: 'Collateral Damage'. Malinka made two professional videos in support of this project and David Jones also appeared in a video.


This project had all the hallmarks of a scam. Nothing appears to have come of it.

We would suggest from our knowledge of the case that you are most unlikely to get any information worth having about the Madeleine McCann case from either Malinka or Jones.

 

We hope, however, that in making your film, you and your fellow researchers will contact the following people, in order to see what they say and what evidence they have:


1 Goncalo Amaral, the Portuguese Police investigation co-ordinator into Madeleine’s reported disappearance

2 Paulo Reis, a Portuguese journalist who has researched the Madeleine McCann case intensively for 10 years,

3 Peter MacLeod, a retired, ex-pat former Superintendent with Nottingham Police, now living in Spain, whose free e-book on the case can viewed here and elsewhere: http://whatreallyhappenedtomadeleinemccann.blogspot.co.uk/  and

4 Richard D Hall, a film- and documentary-maker whose work on the case over the past four years has resulted in 17 hours of fact-filled documentaries about Madeleine McCann, all now on YouTube, where they have attracted over 20 million views to date. Over 100 people have uploaded their own copies of his films to YouTube. They are impactful. 


If the public is to get the fullest possible hard information on the case in your 8-part series, in our judgment your researchers should be talking in depth to each of them, if you have not already done so, and be using the very best of the material each of them has to offer.


We have all their contact details if you need them.


Yours sincerely
