God I look ugly in some and beautiful in others. So what is this latest query? about her eyebrow seeming different from the other one? Theres being observant and theres being over picky. And if her eyebrow was different? What can it mean?

I don't know 'What can it mean?' it was just an observation the same sort of observation that so many other people on here make, like yourself.

I do not think I am being 'over picky' - it is just an observation - in some of her photos the eyebrow is very different.

I have never ever said anything derogatory about Madeleine in anyway shape or form, I have obviously 'rattled your cage' for the second time. I do not like your tone and I do not spend all day researching and reading up on matters to have someone on here throw their toys out of their pram and be rude to me. It may seem like a 'stupid' point to make but it is something odd about different photos of Madeleine that I have noticed and this forum is about research and sharing ideas - like I did!!

i think the only person chucking toys out of pram is u here, i merely asked what could a differing eyebrow mean, well? if u are going to post stuff like that at east offer a theory, is that too much to ask? and no u havent rattled my cage at all, im not frustrated or angry just bemused over some wierd eyebrow LOL oh dear best log off never meant to cause trouble by posting my opinion and asking for people to be specific, if we all just speculate on stuff we will be here to kingdom come, so again, what could a dodgy eyebrown mean hummingbird? you brought it up, its up to you to give theories but im going now will read tomorrow

jd thanks for earlier, im convinced the last photo is fake made up from at least two diff photos

Had you merely asked what could a differing eyebrow mean then you would have received a much more courteous reply, instead you make pointed suggestions. Anyway I do apologise I was not aware that every time one posted a question we were supposed to give a theory to back it up. My theory is quite remarkably this, the eyebrow looks different in different pictures I have seen of Madeleine, maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm right but that is what this forum is for - questions and I merely asked one! A question is different to a theory and as this thread is about the last photo and as other photos were also being questioned I asked the simple question, has anyone noticed the eyebrow.

I apologise if I have upset you in anyway, I hope you have a very nice evening after having signed out.

Confirmed sightings on 3 May 2007

The last picture of Madeleine, as supplied by the family, was apparently taken at 14:29, and showed her sitting by the side of the pool with Gerry and Amelie.^[7] Although the McCanns insisted that Gerry was playing tennis, as Kate gave the children supper at the Ocean Club resort at 17:00, Miguel Matias, manager of the beach-side Paraíso restaurant, said that the family were at the beach. In the early evening, Matias saw Gerry dancing with his daughter while the family ate a meal on the terrace. Portuguese police confirmed that they had received relevant CCTV footage from Matias

the word "confirmed" has different meanings?

Sadly, you can't trust Wikipedia to give you the right information. The Paradaiso CCTV showed another family altogether.It's a good example of too helpful memory - that and the fact that a lot of toddlers look very alike.
Wiki is 'fed' by alls sorts of people and you can post what you like until somebody objects. Of course TM aren't objecting to such a darling little episode - so unlike the miserable 20 minute trip they made to the beach when it rained and they had ice cream. It's in the book to show us they did interact with the children, except the creche records disagree.

Yep, so I suspected...otherwise there would have been a thread here about it. The McCann´s seem to have people round the world to help them with different "evidence". The photo of the abductor with Madeleine in his arms is another "proof" supposedly caught on cctv, most of you here must have seen it. It´s probably even too ridiculous for the McCanns to use, but I saw it in a blog owned by a woman(girl?) whose main interest is Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana. She dedicates however a part of her blog to Madeleine and every one who wants can donate money to the fund, or buy the book via this blog. Beneath the "photo" of the abductor carrying Madeleine, the blogger promises that it is real in case someone has some kind of doubt. The last photo with only legs and backhead visible!!!

I have just taken a look at Google images for Madeleine McCann - obviously there are a lot and I don't know if they appear the same for all but there is one in particular where she is in the water, not sure where or when, and you can clearly this eyebrow and the missing patch.

A diary from the hotel above gives temperatures each day, May 2011, June 2011, May 2012 etc. interesting proof that bougainvillea would most likely NOT be in bloom on 3^rd May 2007.


[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

dates and temperatures of April to May 2007 available here. For the two weeks previous to May 3rd, temperatures were mainly in the early 20's, cloudy, not much sun.

Given that Maddie in the playground with Gerry and Payne’s daughter, could at earliest have been 29^th April, and the weather had been cold all week, the bougainvillea could hardly have been out in full bloom on 3^rd May 2007.

For me, more than anything, that last photo is definitely FAKE and NOT taken on 3^rd May 2007.

I wish I'd kept a copy of that now but, together with the bougainvillea evidence, I think there can be no doubt now that the photo has been 'shopped'.

CT'And, she was very upset with all of it, and I was trying to help her cope along with dealing with my twin brother's death. For this reason, I went to visit her for a week in February in 2004. It was my first time in that place but we had already been in Luz before that when we went to Portugal as tourists. After that, we went a second time with my husband and stayed in (inaudible) a small fishing village about 10 minutes from Luz. We have already been in Portugal many times, but to visit Luz only three times.

DC1485'Okay. When you were there how was the temperature'

CT' It was good, sunny and hot. At times it was necessary to use a sweater but during the day it was marvellous. Besides this, it was fresh and but very agreeable.

CT'I believe it rained one day; it was a bit windy, besides this... it was wonderful weather ' not for sun bathing, even though there were people doing just this but it was not really sun bathing weather.

I can just about see Amalies arm on there, only just but she may be sat at such an angle her arm is behind her, but what I did notice is something I hadn't seen before.

There are splashes of water just above Amalie, on her legs and on Gerrys legs but non on Madeleine. In fact this is the only picture where you have proof of any actual movement taking place as the picture was taken, thing is I cannot see any water splashes on or around Madeleine, can anyone else get this picture and see if they can see any splashes around her because in my opinion if the middle person is splashing the water even just a little the water would go in both directions?

If you scroll down past the pictures of Kate with the candles to the section where they are discussing the 'science' of the photo you can supersize it

Thank you so much for that I was just trying to find what I needed to put to link it - still in the past when computers are concerned!

Sorry Moa and thank you bobbin!!

Hummingbird, I think the water you see may be splashes on the camera lense, in which case it's not so strange that there are none in front of Madeleine. But according to Kate's book, Madeleine was wearing her famous 'peach-coloured smock top from Gap and some white broderie-anglaise shorts from Monsoon'. Now, I have no idea what kind of short they were but the top looks distinctly pink to me. Or at least I have never seen a peach that colour. Again I have no idea if this can be called a smock top.
