The McCann Curse

I have seen reference to the McCann Curse a few times.

Obviously I understand what that means but could you good people list the people and the events affected by The McCann Curse?

Obviously Brenda Leyland being hounded to death by the McCann Propaganda Machine is the most recent, God rest her soul.

I think it would make for an important discussion thread.

Thank you.

I`ll start with the obvious ones

Madeleine

The twins

Rocky

Tony

Colin Sahlke

Hewlett

Father Pachecho

Rocky`s cousin

Rocky`s dog

Rocky`s marriage

Freud`s marriage

Not all contributable to them directly of course but certainly tainted by association.

Not that I believe in curses and the like. But I did actually think when Brenda died (RIP). What collateral damage had been racked up to hide the truth.

I just sincerely hope Brenda's death pricks somebody's conscience and puts and end to it all.

Conscience ! ! !
So that excludes the McCanns, Mitchell, Carter-Ruck, the Directors / Trustees, the extended family, the Tapas 7,
the Main Stream Media, and quite a lot of other people
each of whom has one tiny piece of information, the key, to unlock this whole ghastly Pandora's Box\
But they won't.
Because they still believe they can control it.

I was also hoping that Madeleine's death (which seems to be accepted here) would prick someone's conscience. But no. They are all sociopaths, so we won't be hearing from them any time soon. IMO.

Brenda Leyland was of course by far the most serious casualty of what this thread calls 'The McCann Curse'.

But there have been many others.

Here's one that must go on the list - the young college student who lost his job because he shopped major criminal Kevin Halligen:

Oxford graduate gets 'sack' for shopping Madeleine McCann fraud suspect Liverpool Echo

By Luke Traynor
Dec 2 2009

A TOP hotel reneged on a job promise for an Oxford graduate after he shopped the £1.3m Maddie McCann fraud suspect who was staying as a guest, it was claimed today.

Journalism student Chris Winsley telephoned police after recognising pictures of Kevin Halligen in newspaper articles, linking him to a man staying for over six months at the Old Bank Hotel in Oxford.

Officers visited the A-list pad and detained the fugitive Dubliner, wanted by the FBI for an alleged £1.3m con in America, based on the 22-year-old's memory of Halligen when Mr Winsley was working as a barman at the hotel over the summer.

The on-the-run private detective was once hired by Liverpool-born Kate McCann and her husband, Gerry, to find their three-year-old daughter, Maddie, who disappeared from a flat in Praia da Luz, Portugal, in 2007.

But after £500,000 was pocketed by him from the Find Madeleine Fund, his contract was cancelled after he had delivered precious little to the investigation.

Now Mr Winsley has received the bombshell that an assured job at the Old Bank Hotel over Christmas has been axed.

The Cornwall student has emailed and written to hotel bosses who have refused to return his correspondence.

Today, the budding writer said he was disappointed his former employers had "punished him" for bringing a fugitive man to the attention of police.

Mr Winsley told the ECHO: "I feel hard done by. I did it to get this man caught, but now they won't give me the time of day.

"I had a letter from the manager saying they'd be delighted to employ me over Christmas, and now silence."

An extradition hearing is set to take place to send Halligen back into the custody of American police.

While staying at the Old Bank the businessman used several aliases and would spend most of his evenings getting drunk in the bar, witnesses said.

Halligen is also said to have caused consternation in the hotel, visited this year by top celebrities, over unpaid bills.

The Old Bank Hotel refused to comment.

It goes to prove the old adage: "Nobody likes a whistleblower". No doubt the hotel owner was angry that s/he had lost a valuable resident paying £700 a night for his stay.
