Re: KATE MCCANN'S PORTUGAL RETURN (Merged thread Daily Star and Mirror articles)

[plebgate]

I think it was NFWTD who posted why no pictures of her in 5a?

I would have thought to show a picture of her entering, inside and leaving the premises would be good to show the world and something like that might well jog someone's memory about the night Maddie went missing?

[Guest]

Clearly a premeditated photo opportunity, viz mother Hubbards painted toenails and recent coiff. Oh Vickars wife!

And Kate looking frail and lanky haired. Saw another photo of her yesterday with Mrs Hubbard and she had her hair newly done all smoothed up into a french pleat it looked like. Yes she must be in torment because the net is closing imo.

[Guest]

There are now some comments but I could only stomach the first half dozen. Sorry Team McCann but you've got to do more to persuade us that Kate really is in Portugal. It certainly doesn't help your case when Susan Hubbard is misidentified as Susan Healy!

Plebgate, I didn't ask why there were no photos of her at 5A - just no photos anywhere.

[russiandoll]

sloppy on the basics as it is clearly not Susan Healy, even if you would not recognise Mrs Hubbard.
link below shows SH, not sure why a certain child's face blanked out as it appears to be Sean's [ have seen those legs in other photos, also bigger than his twin sis, its the other child with SH whose face should have been hidden isn't it ? ]

[Guest]

I don't think his face has been hidden to avoid identification - he's just holding something up in front of him.

Re the supposed current photos of Kate, would she really have gone to church so casually dressed?

[russiandoll]

tourists go into foreign churches in their casual holiday attire a lot of the time ,in my experience, but it is considered appropriate to cover bare chests and shoulders.

[Guest]

true,

But if a visit is advertised as being a Memorial Service, and you(r) missing daughter its protagonist guest of honour, would you not put on a decent garb, and at the very least try not to look like an unkempt ragdoll?

If only to honour the memory of your child, to express your respect for her, to cherish her together with the other people at the Memorial?

Her Majesty does, for one: dress formally and appropriately at all times.

So in short, those of us who doubt KHs presence at the PdL church: they could well be right.

But maybe one or more of the local people thougt fit to bring their camera?

True pictures, anyone from PdL?

[Newintown]

I didn't check, when I posted the DM link, who the other person with Kate McCann was, I can't remember what Susan Healy looks like, it was getting late and my bed was calling.

If it was Mrs Hubbard why would she fly all the way from Canada for a 30 minute or so Church service. It must be about 10 hours or more on a plane to Portugal.

Has she been called as a witness or in some other capacity at the GA court case and is there to sign an official paper. I'm only guessing of course.

[Guest]

I've seen articles about a month ago, mentioning that Susan Hubbard [and Haynes?] would be there [in PdL] early May this year.

[tigger]

All good catholics go to church today - its Ascension Day which is an important day in the calendar of the RC. So hopefully Kate has managed to find a cardie at least to cover her bare shoulders.

Scroll down a little in this link and you'll find photos of Susan Hubbard.

Entering through the jemmied shutters, going through the motions of sedating three children, and then exiting through the front door which was 'hanging open' ? ? ?
It would be worth watching.

She really should go back and demontrate to us all that can be done within 1-1/2 min if she expects to be believed.

Apologies for misreading post NFWTD.

I agree it is strange why no photos anywhere.

This is why they will not go back for a reconstruction.
Everyone who has read the papers knows it is impossible.
With a reconstruction even people who know nothing about it would be able to see that it was impossible.
They couldn't even start to write the screenplay for the intruder.

A news report supposedly of the "current" visit but only with paparazzi-style photos of Kate and Ma Hubbard, apparently unaware of the photographer.

Please, could one of our Portuguese members let us know if there is anything in the commentary which proves that Kate really is there?

Sorry Carter-Ruck, but I'd have to check with a calendar if Kate told me what date it was. You certainly must know that yourselves with some of the less than honest clients you represent now or in the past.

She is there, or was. Might be back in the UK now she has been photographed/filmed.

[aiyoyo]

Seen that news clip, but still no photo of her in church or in 5A and definitely not surrounded by supporters.

In fact Kate and old Hubbard look lost and lonely and they were getting quite a few odd stares as they exited the coffee shop where Kate was recognised.

I'm sure at this time of the year there would have been numerous tourists around - and locals - to take photos of Kate McCann in her Church "vigil" for Madeleine, and coming out of the Church looking so sad and forelorn over her loss of Madeleine. It's not like Kate McCann to miss a photo opportunity like that seeing we have it never-endingly (is that a word?) rammed down our throats in the UK whether we want it or not.

We still don't know if she was actually in PDL. Who took the photo of her and Mrs Hubbard, how did they know she was in PDL. Was the photo actually taken in PDL or was the Portugese news just told it was taken in PDL. It could have been taken anywhere in Portugal. Anyway, I thought it was suppposed to be a private visit. Hmmm, all seems very strange to me.

KMcC & SH are leaving the Baptista supermarket in PDL in that clip. There is a coffee shop just inside the door next to the car park and the tables are in the entranceway. The locals like to gather there in the mornings and people watch and those ladies certainly recognised who they were. KMcC is again wearing the trainers she wore in the photos of the pair leaving the church. They (the trainers) really are quite strikingly ugly and look completely wrong with the outfits she's wearing, not to mention a strange choice of footwear for a church service, even in Luz where people are fairly casual going to services.

[Guest]

Maybe she went jogging to 'Godknowswheresheisclosesttomaddie' as of yore?

Also, with the dam about to burst, maybe she's getting spiritual guidance from mother Hubbard (=Anglican, not Roman Catholic) and is preparing to cut loose mr McCann before entering the dockhouse?

God only knows.

But is would be a relief to be able to call it a day and fess up.

IMO

[Nina]

Nah I think she just made a quick flight booking and went with hand luggage only. And she maybe slobs around in either trainers or her big sports sandals normally, unless she has an important public appearance to attend.

Been a way for a week so just catching up.

In my mind this trip must have something to do with the Murat article about bringing them back. It is far to much of a coincidence these things happening just days apart. I am pretty sure that Murat would not have allowed that to be released just days before she was due to arrive.

IF this is the case I can only assume they wanted to talk about something face to face, or via somebody very trusted (old mother Hubbard?). Could it be they still do not trust telephones or the possibility of bugging/eves dropping?

[worriedmum]

Where would they stay? Have they friends there? Or at the Ocean Club?

It would be interesting to know, and also who funded the H's return flights from Canada. If the chaplaincy is still vacant they may have been able to use their old home, the chaplaincy house where KMcC has stayed with them before. Ocean Club seems unlikely due to past associations on both sides. Unilikely also that the McCs 'still have many friends' in PDL. One or two with a few more acquaintances possibly, but no more since they seem to have been very much contained within their own 'imported' circle of family and friends during their stay, with the Hs being a notable exception.

[Pershing36]

Could be; after all she was reportedly jealous of Oucha Nanoucha, or what's the name of the Busty One?

Just my opinion, of course

You mean Najoua Chekaya? I always imagined the Kate not sleeping in her bed the night before the "abduction" was partialy because of her

If it is the same one she appears to now live near Leicester. Are the PDL and Leicester twinned in some way?

[Guest]

There is indeed someone with this name living in Bedford (not a million miles from Leicester) according to 192.com. Is that who you're thinking of Pershing36?

Not that I'm a gossip (perish the thought!) but there have been rumours that a certain GM has a new lady friend......
