Tonight 10pm Channel 5

The five mistakes that snared Soham killer Ian Huntley: How suspicions fell on helpful school caretaker after he quizzed police about DNA, changed his car tyres and basked in the media spotlight over death of two schoolgirls

Detective Chief Superintendent Chris Stevenson, who was made lead investigator on the case nearly a fortnight after the girls vanished, was interviewed for the new programme, 'Five Mistakes that Caught a Killer'.
He told the show: 'It is easy to look back in hindsight and see that by using the media to publicise the disappearance of these two girls and spread it almost worldwide was a mistake.
'One of the first things I did when I took over was to refocus the investigation into the immediate locality. It is a standard phrase to clear the ground under your feet and I didn't feel that that had been done.'

The documentary also looked at the five errors that saw Huntley face justice - the first being how he started to enjoy speaking to the media.
This backfired on him after people in his old hometown of Grimsby in Lincolnshire recognised him as someone who had been linked to sex attacks on women.

Carr also dropped a hint when she started speaking about the girls in the past tense while speaking to the BBC, prompting the interview to be halted and then restarted.

His second mistake regarded Jessica's mobile phone, which was switched off on the day she vanished - with the signal showing it was at Huntley's house at the time.

The third error saw Carr tell police she been with Huntley for the whole day when the girls vanished, but mobile records showed she was 100 miles away in Grimsby.

The fourth mistake saw Huntley ask Special Constable Sharon Gilbert how long DNA lasted for, with the officer admitting: 'I just thought it was strange, very strange.’

Huntley's fifth mistake was getting new tyres put on his old car after dumping the bodies, which aroused suspicion and led to police investigating the vehicle.

He, Mr Clarence Mitchell is such a huge Parallel in Madeleine McCann's case from the moment of inducement until the present day, with funds paid out of the Madeleine Fund, reportedly £75,000 per Annum over Twelve years=Millions?

But there again, Crime Watch, Operation Grange special 14 October 2013 costing Millions of Pounds, Richard Biltons specials, Netflix £80 Million, it's an expensive World remaining "Free"?

Just regarding the point about speaking to the media, I would have thought it would be natural for any parent of a missing child to want media exposure. Whilst it is clear that GM is a confident public speaker, there any many instances where it is evident they aren't "enjoying" the media attention. Their body language in many interviews, portrays how uncomfortable they are with some of the media attention.

Think you need to re-do your maths there, millions? it's not even a million, but I get your point it's still an obscene amount

Just for the record, it was reported that Clarence Mitchell was paid by the McCanns wealthy benefactor, Brian Kennedy - the double glazier. Not the Find Madeleine Fund.

It makes all the difference.

it was also reported that Kennedy stopped bank-rolling the whole enterprise sometime in 2008/9
So Mitchell must from that point have been paid from somewhere else.

The McCanns spokesman assumes that crises has arrived to the Fund

The man who paid Clarence Mitchell, Método 3 and who kept running a real media machine has closed his wallet. Brian Kennedy stopped feeding the McCann machine.

Clarence Mitchell, the spokesman for the McCanns, confirmed that Brian Kennedy, the British millionaire who financed the McCann couple, has stopped paying salaries “months ago”.

The statement was made by Clarence Mitchell himself after his speech, last Friday in an association of the Oxford University - the Oxford Union – where the former director of the control unit for the British Media - Media Monitoring Unit - spoke about his career as a journalist, the media industry and his role in the Maddie case. The millionaire Brian Kennedy who has once stated that he would be prepared to use the whole of his personal fortune – estimated at more than 500 million Euros in order to finance the alleged private investigations into the disappearance of Maddie, appears now to have abandoned his financial support for the couple.

So Brian Kennedy had funded Clarence Mitchell's Services from June 2007 to case being unsolved by Portugal PJ 2008/09,Eighteen Months?

So Once the case was shelved Clarence Mitchell Services No longer required?

Yet Metodo 3 set up to investigate Madeleine McCann disappearance, Kevin Haligen, which was to be an illegal activity during an ongoing Investigation?

Throw into the mire, the "Original Arquido", meeting Mr Brian Kennedy,legal team,Paegerate for Arquido/Symmington November 2009?

But of course No evidence to "Pervert a Course of Justice", Coulson, Brunt, Brookes, Murdoch Sky News Corporation, Cameron, Theresa May, Phone Hacking, Leveson Inquiry, part Two dropped very quickly?
