You can see it bunching up on her shoulders, whereas the pictures of her alone show her with a short bob. I know all of this speculation about her photos/appearance has to sound crazy to some, but I consider myself pretty sane, and I find so many inconsistencies like this while looking at so many of her pictures, even before I became aware of this forum or topics such as this. I can't even begin to make sense of it. I mean, unless she had a twin or something, I don't know...


I agree about her hair tumbleweed, it is definately longer in some of those pictures. There are also photos and video footage where the twins are obviously getting older and Madeleine appears to look younger. All very strange!

Tigger, I mentioned in another post about hightlights. My grandaughter had exactly the same, even more evident after the past few days of sunshine, she has almost white bands appear in her hair overnight!

About the gappy teeth. I've seen it argued that as the jaw grows bigger the teeth will become more spaced out. In my experience with one of my children and one of my grandchildren, it happened completely the opposite. Both had very gappy teeth, but as back teeth came through and grew bigger, then the gaps started closing up. Teeth grow quicker than jawbones. But like you say, Madeleine's teeth became gappier as she grew!

It was the Belfast Telegraph which first published the story that the McCanns and supposedly hordes of relatives were in Donegal in April 2007.

I wonder if good old Uncle Hughie has been able to join them again - he was there last time despite being dead!

I don't believe this latest story any more than I did the first one. Garbage!

This is the exclusive from the Donegal daily.......

MISSING MADDIE’S FAMILY MAKE HEARTBREAKING TRIP BACK TO DONEGAL


October 25, 2012

EXCLUSIVE: The family of Maddie McCann have made a poignant return to Donegal for the first time since their little girl went missing five years ago.

Gerry and Kate McCann and their twins Sean and Amelie have been enjoying a family break in West Donegal

The family have rented a house in the Dungloe area and have been enjoying days out in the town.

Missing Maddie’s dad Gerry has many relations in the area whom he keeps in touch with.

His father John was born in the village of St Johnston but left Donegal in 1967 before Gerry was born.

Poignantly this is the first time the family has returned to Ireland since Maddy went missing while holidaying in Portugal in 2007.

Just weeks before she went missing, Maddie, 3, had enjoyed another trip to Donegal.

The McCann family had been visiting the area on holiday in April 2007 before stopping off at their family-owned pub in St Johnston.

A picture in the little village shows Maddie and family members enjoying an ice-cream outside People’s Bar which is still owned by Maddie’s grandmother Eileen McCann.

More than 40 family members had enjoyed the Easter trip.

Maddy and her parents had even attended Easter mass in Dungloe.

This week the couple were given a warm welcome back by friends and family.

One local woman, who asked not to be named, said she was delighted when she seen Gerry in Dungloe.

“I went over and said hello to him and asked how things were going.

“He said things were going as well as they could and they were enjoying their little break here.

“He actually asked me where was the best place to find a swimming pool locally to take his children for a swim.

Not much to find about the journalist Greg Harkin. Apparently he went from award winning journalism (book stakeknife about IRA) to sloppy xenofobic reporting...

Excuse my language but it's all garbage, Candyfloss. It is my belief that this story has been planted for nefarious reasons

Clarence Mitchell has been busy – churning out press releases to Irish media to get his clients back in the news. It must have been difficult for them lately with April Jones, Ben Needham search in Greece, and Catherine Gowring getting all the headlines.

The exact same story as in the Belgraph Telegraph (Jean’s post) is in the Irish Independent, the biggest selling paper in ROI. I think the Independent owns the Telegraph.

I get the online edition of the Independent emailed to me every day and on the home page is the heading top stories and the first one listed is McCanns make first trip to Donegal since…


Now why is this the first of their top stories?

I mean UK family visits relatives in Ireland. So what? OK their daughter (allegedly) vanished but that was over 5 years ago and in Portugal not Donegal.

And the article uses two pictures including one old photograph of Madeleine. How helpful for the search!

Both stories Independent/Telegraph and Donegal Daily feature a quote from an unnamed local person. Now why is the person not named? Why would the local have a problem being named making a friendly comment about the McCanns? Were the quotes made up? Journalists don’t do things like that, do they?

The Donegal Daily quotes the unnamed local as saying Gerry asked where the nearest swimming pool was, for his children. You would think Gerry would know this from his earlier visit in April 2007 when he had his three children with him or he would know about any pool from his ‘large number of relatives in the Dungloe area’. He has apparently has rented a cottage there for this break.

Not only is this quote rather suspect, the Donegal Daily also says this trip is the McCanns first trip to Ireland since Madeleine went missing – incorrect. They were in Ireland Summer 2011 promoting the book and appeared on the Late Late Show, the weekend chat show.

The Irish are generous people, this is surely another ‘marketing ploy,’ this ‘poignant’ trip to Donegal.

Are they even in Donegal?

The Donegal Dailys story is labelled EXCLUSIVE. Why don't they have an EXCLUSIVE picture of them actually there?

It's as made-up as the original Donegal fairytale story. IMO of course.

Nice one Clarry. But NEXT! Aren't we due another sighting soon? It's been few months now surely.

Oh and what's this photo of Maddie allegedly outside the pub? Not seen that one.....?

No doubt this is the photo referred to.

No sign of a pub though but what d'ya expect - accuracy from the media?!
