Re: This will be the Start of Good Things for Madeleine - Kate McCann
Heck! That's a lot of hearsay that was floating around the internet Jack As I was reading through your 87 points my jaw dropped. It's a good job the PJ Files were released in the end, at least we have some sort of reference towards the truth now.
I must admit, I seem to recall No 14 (Clarence Mitchell being in Praia da Luz 3/5/07) but can't remember where from now.

27. That the delay in phoning the police was down to the McCanns or friends (it was down to OC phoning their boss)

29. That someone had a row with the McCanns and flew home the morning after she disappeared.

40. A fridge was used to store a body (Amarals book I believe) oh and coldwater touched on it as well. Claims that it was written on the find Madeleine web site have been found to be incorrect...Jayelles checked all archived logs herehttp://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www ... leine.com/

44. That they washed the curtains and the whole place with bleach. (the curtains may have been washed and the place cleaned with bleach but it wasn't the McCanns that did it, they left the apartment that night and it was relet and presumeably deep cleaned by professional cleaners before the second forensic sweep).
45. traces of medication found in forensic analysis of Madeleine's hair.
46. Clumps of hair found in the wheel well in the car....no clumps and the car doesnt have a wheel well

53. re-testing of the samples in an independent lab....HH
54. Madeleine's remains were placed inside a dog and cremated
55. Karen Mathews was a good example of how a mother whose daughter has been abducted should behave. They were real tears. From 3as
56. That the McCanns refused to do a reconstruction. Source of myth/claim: 28th May, 2008 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article ... l-part.htm and thereafter regularly claimed by anti-McCanns.Source of counter claim: 27th May, 2008 http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7422787.stm

60 Kate said that cuddle cat was found on a high shelf. Original article:- 12th August, 2007 http://www.mirror.co.uk/sunday-mirror/2 ... -19613517/
This report was immediately rehashed by the Daily Mail with more emphasis on the toy being placed out of reach: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article ... reach.htmlIt
61. yrreg si ytliug - cos he says so backwards....yes you read that right....with many thanks to DCB. I wouldnt be the person I am without DCB. I owe you a debt of gratitude DCB...
62. That they found drugs in the McCanns villa they rented. Well yes they did but they were Kates Dads.
63. That the Tapas Restaraunt actually serves Tapas....they dont. Silly one but bugs the life out of me.
64. Kate was in the apartment the night Mrs Fenn heard the sustained crying (Paulo Reis)
65.The "secret investigation" that was going to present evidence to have the case re-opened (Reis and Fatdog)
66. That 5a is 100,200,300,500 metres and even a quater of a mile from the tapas where they were dining.
67. The Tapas is NOT a PUB. It's a restaraunt!
68. The parents trademarked Madeleine's eye coloboma. Disproved in the J4 book of truth, when one of the authors actually e-mailed the British trademark association, and was told you cannot trademark a body part.
69. Kate marked a passage in her Bible about the death of a child. Turned out the bible was second hand, and was originally marked by the previous owner.
70. the pj didn't get the information about the financial situation of the McCanns or information about their credit cards.
The pj did get it (might have been after GA got sacked from the case).
71. That the twins didn't really care Madeleine was gone because they didn't spend much time with her anyway.
72. That Madeleine had an IVF twin.
73.That there are three Madeleines.
74. That the mccanns didnt mention to the police their concerns about the twins being drugged (happenned in very early May)
75. The McCanns didnt immediately tell the police about Madeleine crying the night before.
76. That there were no sightings of madeleine in Portugal, files say otherwise.
78. A witness regularly walking past the McCanns apartment heard crying all the time. Rubbish, nothing in the files yet this witness was supposed to have given a statement to the PJ.
79. Jane Hill or someone else, who was said to have talked about a "fine spray" found, which indicated a brain injury......never found in the files. Was talked about on 3as and became fact
80. The McCann's always said they would never leave Portugal without Madeleine-then ran for home as soon as they were made arguido's. A LOT is often made of that, completely forgetting/ignoring the headlines in the British press TWO WEEKS earlier, 'Broke, and coming home' where the McCann's explained that they could no longer afford to stay in Portugal, even giving the time and date they were leaving, which, co-incidentally, was the exact same time as they eventually DID leave.
81. McCanns rental agreement was signed well in advance that showed the date they would be leaving.
82. Amaral donated a proportion of the profits from the sale of his book to charity. Again, not a shred of evidence that he did. Indeed the courts froze any of the profits!
83. That the smell of death was found anywhere. No proof, no evidence.
84. M15 worked on the case
85.The McCanns had a D notice put on reporting of the case.
86. Carter had nothing to do with the Madeleine foundation being taken.....of couse.....they did
87. That the McCanns didnt ask for tests with regard to drugging months after May...see Stephen Markleys statement.
A great many of those still pop up even now, incredible really what people will believe.

Re: This will be the Start of Good Things for Madeleine - Kate McCann
Maybe some people don’t know where to look for the PJ Files or are too lazy to check and repeat parrot fashion? Lack of information tends to lead to speculation. I’m guilty of speculating about Madeleine’s coloboma.
I think some of those rumours in Jack's list were started by the newspapers (Express?) and people ran with them, especially the hypodermic needle and clumps of hair. Just goes to show that not everything printed in the newspapers or typed in the online news can be believed .... not just “against” the McCann couple but also ”for” the McCann couple (Mr Amaral for example)

Re: This will be the Start of Good Things for Madeleine - Kate McCann
I just remembered something....not all speculation was built on rumour. The blue bag was rubbished but that turned out to be true and the debate over whether or not Gerry’s first phone conversations the night Madeleine disappeared was “it’s a disaster” also turned out to be true, although I’m not sure why anyone would worry over those words.

There was no blue sports bag but yes I think family back home reported that he said something along those lines, I think it must be very hard to explain to people hundreds of miles away just how bad a situation is, it's automatic for people to be reasuring and say things like I'm sure she's just hiding, she'll turn up etc

Re: This will be the Start of Good Things for Madeleine - Kate McCann
I agree Hedge, it must be difficult, but the explanation of the apparent missing blue bag came from Sky News. There's an official looking man (detective?) that explains....
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Akv01Y0pfNY&feature=player_embedded
Sky News video
@ 0:22
Martin Brunt: "And detectives have been searching for a blue tennis bag that went missing from the McCanns holiday apartment. The bag belonged to Gerry McCann, he’d been playing tennis in the hours before his daughter vanished."
Man (I don’t know who the official looking man is): "There’s a bag of, of a size that could be taking away from the flat a child that would be of great interest to the investigating officer."

Re: This will be the Start of Good Things for Madeleine - Kate McCann
Err Sasha...it was rubbish I think you will find. Dont forget Martin Brunt is the person who said there was a 100% dna match to Madeleine in the car.
He was fed rubbish from others in Portugal and he fell for it.

Oooh dear another of Brunts little mistakes, the blue bag allegations came from Amaral I think, some sort of suggestion that a child Madeleine's age could be carried in one and hey the Mccanns don't have one and even more suspiciously (?!) haven't reported one missing, yet they played tennis on holiday.
Yep, that appears to be the calibre of the suggestion. No one ever saw such bag, there is no evidence of any bag, no evidence of Madeleine being dead but hey there might be one and if she were dead and if there was any possible suggestion that the Mccanns were monsters then technically it's possible that they might have used such a bag.

Re: This will be the Start of Good Things for Madeleine - Kate McCann
Yes I agree about Martin Brunt. It was unfortunate for him to announce 100% and going by the video of that report Brunty had just received the news through his earpiece... so whoever was at the other end feeding him that gem needs to be hung, drawn and quartered.
But my main concern is about the man who said they’re looking for the blue tennis bag. Is he a British detective who was part of the British investigation team within Portugal? Or is he just someone with no credentials who’s simply backing the tennis bag claim?
But that aside, another reason for showing the video was to explain that sometimes apparent myths are built from News reports who many (at the time) trusted to bring them the truth of the matter. We now know differently.... sometimes the News has other agenda’s and sometimes they’re genuinely mistaken.
Bunny, I hope I don’t offend you because I don’t mean to .... but when you say no-one saw the bag are you referring to Kate and Gerry’s friends?

Re: This will be the Start of Good Things for Madeleine - Kate McCann
Hey Sasha, you're not offending me at all! but I didnt say that no one saw the bag in my post. I dont think it existed, well not a tennis bag anyway but thats my personal opinion.

Thank you for the reminder Ruby...I was looking for those photos the other week on Jill's site. Would you mind if I copy them to one of my older articles (to do with the blue bag) on my blog?
Do you know who's in the Sky News video? (6th post above).

Because it disappeared after the photos were taken? Maybe that's why the man in the Sky News Video was asking about the blue bag? Maybe the police asked Gerry where it was and he denied it's existence but the PJ photos showed otherwise and caused suspicion?vaguely1 wrote:How was it missing if it's in the cupboard?
Too many questions but not enough answers to be able to reach an absolute conclusion on the blue bag issue at the moment. Well, not until something turns up somewhere.... in the PJ Files... or the separate "secret dossier" that came to light during the McCann Vs Amaral court hearing perhaps.
Re: This will be the Start of Good Things for Madeleine - Kate McCann
Is it even a blue bag, the McCanns did have another bag, looked like a changing bag that was in the main room of the apartment in some photos.

Ah isnt that the flight bag he used on the plane?
Not missing as far as I am aware as its not mentioned in the files and neither is it specifically a tennis bag.

But if anyone works out who the man in the Sky News video is (posted on previous page), please let me know :D

Re: This will be the Start of Good Things for Madeleine - Kate McCann
he does appear to be talking generally though, if there was a bag of the size that a child could be carried in then clearly this would be of interest to an investigating officer, he doesn't appear to be confirming that there is one.

Re: This will be the Start of Good Things for Madeleine - Kate McCann
Just watching Brunts review of the case it's amazing even then how many errors he makes, how many false assertions. But I guess it was December 2007 it was all un-named sources of rumours then, stuff he'd been told and believed. The one that stuck out was him saying that jane tanner wasn't even sure it was a child she saw in the mans arms, it's almost unforgivable for Brunt to have made such an error, even before the files were made available it was clear that the only person referring to bundles was the police. How much damage did Brunt alone to do her credibility?

Hedge, just did the same. The people they intereviewed seem to have heard all the rumours that were leaked out of the PJ offices. Yet the files turn up and theres nothing in them to back them up.
It amazes me the secrecy....its only relevant if it helps to find Madeleine but hey if its unfounded rumour leaked by the PJ offices....then thats fine...its okay to leak that because it tarnishes the mccanns :twisted:

Re: This will be the Start of Good Things for Madeleine - Kate McCann
It could be argued that judicial secrecy can be a good thing but not if it's flouted so completedly by those who are meant to uphold it and not if victims of smears can't defend themselves and ensure that the focus is on a still missing child for fear of falling foul of the laws. Crazy. Another one of those moments in those case where you throw your hands in the air and say you couldn't make it up.

They did find a black bag though. In a ravine.
And they've found a pink blanket.
I could post the links, but this time I challenge you to find them yourselves.

Yes they were, because they aren't what people think/thought they were.
Sorry if I sound cryptic, can't explain myself any better as this :
There's no missing pink blanket. There's no missing blue bag.
