maddie spotted in brazil

hoow come if this is true its only being released now maddie isnt 3 shes nearly 10!!!

Usual Carp!!!

Detectives have been given a photo which appears to show missing Madeleine McCann with an abductor, according to the Sunday Express.

Errm, the text talks about someone three or four years old, yet is dated 20 Jan 2013?

The Poundland Voucher looks good, though.

The news about the court case have to be somehow smothered...

exactly maddie is nearly 10 so why talk about her in past tense aged 3 if they think she is alive???

And where did Mad Correia (the was-to-be-McCann-witness) run off to recently?

Yep and the little girl was wearing a blue hat so we will never know if it was Madeleine or not as you could not see her face clearly.

why are they spinning this almost 7 year old story now could it be to cover up bad news??

oh word from portugal the mcanns faltered!!!

FREE Garden Pruners !

Did Clarence pass the picture "independently" to the Express to keep the focus off "the" court case in Portugal?

That's about it, I reckon.
The big story about Bottling The Libel Case is so damaging for the McCanns, they just can't find a way of spinning it. So we get this great pile of manure instead.

Clarrie, if this is the best you can do, I'm sure there are other jobs in your local classifieds more suited to your ... ahem ... talents.

Well said gothic. Yet again, TM come up with another ridiculous sighting when their backs are against wall. Such a pity that the Sunday Express readers won't be told the truth about the suspension of the Mc v Amaral case

it's nonsense of course...

MADELEINE MCCANN KIDNAP PHOTO SHOCK

By James Murray
DETECTIVES have been given a photo which appears to show Madeleine McCann with an abductor.

The Sunday Express was passed the picture independently but Scotland Yard appealed to us not to publish it while it continues sensitive global investigations into the missing girl.

Officers were happy for us to describe the potentially key evidence which shows a healthy fair-haired girl aged three or four in pink trousers, a green top and a blue hat.

The child is walking along a road, possibly near a port or airport as there are many people with suitcases in the area. It is sunny with a palm tree in the background.

The photograph was allegedly taken in Brazil in June 2007, a month after Madeleine, three, was snatched from a holiday apartment in Praia da Luz on Portugal’s Algarve coast.

The girl is holding the hand of a swarthy foreign-looking man aged about 50 with long dark hair and a beard. He is wearing cut-off jeans and a green T-shirt.

Nearby, another man in checked shorts and a black T-shirt is pulling a red suitcase. There is no sign of a woman and the child looks out of place with the older men.

If the picture is genuine, it would be the biggest breakthrough in the case to date.

A Portuguese speaking man living in Brazil forwarded the photo to a detective on Operation Grange, the Yard squad trying to find Madeleine by reviewing thousands of documents.

The man suggests paedophile Raymond Hewlett, who died of throat cancer, aged 64, in Germany in 2010, was involved with others in the abduction.

Hewlett was staying on a Portuguese camp site when Madeleine was taken. In a deathbed letter to his estranged son Wayne he claimed to know what happened to her.

The man in Brazil has also sent the Yard a picture of a market scene, apparently shot in Portugal, purportedly showing Hewlett standing near a white van used in the abduction.

Hewlett denied taking Madeleine but later mysteriously said she had been “stolen to order” by gipsies. In an e-mail to the Yard, the man writes in Portuguese: “The London police holds in its hands the real opportunity to rescue Madeleine. I know how.”

He wants to be flown to London to give officers the “entire route taken by the bandits”.

The man says he is not a policeman, is not seeking money nor fame and wants to remain anonymous. He adds: “I am sending you more photos of the bandits taking Madeleine McCann and running from the police.

“Unfortunately, we have to break the normal investigation rules, only for this specific case. Your presence, together with me, and also your investigators, we will rebuild the bandits’ entire action.”

Giving his phone number and address he provides details of a flight from Ibiza to Munich in which one witness saw a girl looking like Madeleine “with the bandits”. Scotland Yard and the McCann investigators are used to dealing with letters from cranks, but are taking this more seriously because of the photographs provided.

We can also reveal the man has been in contact with Isabel Duarte, Kate and Gerry McCann’s civil lawyer in Lisbon.
Mrs Duarte told the Sunday Express: “It is an interesting picture but you cannot say it is Madeleine.

“I communicated with him by e-mail because I wanted to know where the picture was taken and who took it and who the men are.

“He was not prepared to tell me but said he would talk to the police. I don’t know exactly what this guy wants but it needs to be checked out. It is a matter for the police to look into.”

Last week she sent all details of her correspondence with the man to Madeleine’s parents Kate and Gerry in Leicestershire.

A spokesman for Scotland Yard said: “An image has been passed to us and it is being assessed.”

The Yard may send the picture to FBI imaging experts in America for an opinion.

This week the Yard is expected to ask detectives in Brazil to interview the man before considering whether to fly him to London. Officers want to know what he knows about Hewlett, who was jailed for abduction, attempted rape and assault of girls aged six, nine and 14.

Clarence Mitchell, spokesman for the McCanns, said: “This is a matter for Scotland Yard and I am sure they will get to the bottom of it. Kate and Gerry have confidence in Operation Grange.”

Operation Grange was launched in May 2011 at the request of Home Secretary Theresa May.

Clarrie couldn't spin the news about the Lisbon trial. This is what he came up with!

Officers were happy for us to describe the potentially key evidence which shows a healthy fair-haired girl aged three or four in pink trousers, a green top and a blue hat.

The child is walking along a road, possibly near a port or airport as there are many people with suitcases in the area. It is sunny with a palm tree in the background.

Swarthy-looking? Must be guilty!

Nearby, another man in checked shorts and a black T-shirt is pulling a red suitcase. There is no sign of a woman and the child looks out of place with the older men.

If the picture is genuine, it would be the biggest breakthrough in the case to date.

You don't say!

A Portuguese speaking man living in Brazil forwarded the photo to a detective on Operation Grange, the Yard squad trying to find Madeleine by reviewing thousands of documents.

There are people in Brazil who speak Portuguese? Well, there's a novelty!

The man suggests paedophile Raymond Hewlett, who died of throat cancer, aged 64, in Germany in 2010, was involved with others in the abduction.

Hewlett was staying on a Portuguese camp site when Madeleine was taken. In a deathbed letter to his estranged son Wayne he claimed to know what happened to her.

The man in Brazil has also sent the Yard a picture of a market scene, apparently shot in Portugal, purportedly showing Hewlett standing near a white van used in the abduction.

White van? Has got to be suspicious! I've seen a few of those. Shall I send the photos?

Hewlett denied taking Madeleine but later mysteriously said she had been “stolen to order” by gipsies. In an e-mail to the Yard, the man writes in Portuguese: “The London police holds in its hands the real opportunity to rescue Madeleine. I know how.”

He wants to be flown to London to give officers the “entire route taken by the bandits”.

Pulling a few of the sightings into one nice, neat little story!

We can also reveal the man has been in contact with Isabel Duarte, Kate and Gerry McCann’s civil lawyer in Lisbon.

“I communicated with him by e-mail because I wanted to know where the picture was taken and who took it and who the men are.

Operation Grange was launched in May 2011 at the request of Home Secretary Theresa May.

Well, I think the McCanns' witness who scarpered to Brazil is doing a fine job there!

Can't imagine why the "Have your say" facility is turned off.

To the Sunday Express and no doubt the other tabloids which will follow suit - we aren't all (Brazil) nuts!

To quote Monty Python - STOP, THIS IS GETTING SILLY!

For a band of renegades they did awfully well to leave not the slightest clue or forensic trace - or indeed anything at all to support the Abduction McSpin. Yet they did manage to stick around long enough to plant clues and forensic traces that implicate others.

Impressive.

They'll be wondering why newspaper sales are plummeting.

This is not a story you should read if you are snowed in and down to your last Tena Lady.
Because you'll need a whole lot more of those if you want to make it through to the end.

You know those times when you're wondering what to have for dinner - and you decide to chuck all your leftovers into a pan? It seemed like a good idea at the time, but the end result is ... bleeeurrrgh!
(Hey Clarrie, or Lift Consulting or whoever - you forgot the kitchen sink!)

All the usual dreary ingredients are here - an old photo which should have been reported way back, a swarthy man (in Brazil? NO!), Hewlett (for the 15,000,000th time), the Ibiza plane story (proved to be a turkey long ago) - and on and on and on ......

The man says he is not a policeman ... yeah, we know that - he's a nutjob.
...... and wants to remain anonymous ... I just bet he does, but WE KNOW.
......McCann investigators are used to dealing with letters from cranks ... well they should be used to dealing with ONE OF THEIR OWN CRANKS.
We can also reveal the man has been in contact with Isabel Duarte ... Why? Because he knows her? And shares the same profession? Unethical collusion on a grand scale?

To all you good folks out there who might have just happened by this forum today, and who read stories like this in the papers, I have to tell you that you've been had (again). This story wouldn't exist but for the fact that the McCanns have finally WIMPED OUT of their long-running libel case with Goncalo Amaral. But you probably won't hear about that - the papers know, but no-one wants YOU to know.

And to all those who had a hand in this pathetic offering - you should be SO embarrassed this morning, and blushing to your hair roots.

if i wasnt so annoyed by this --i would think that the express were talking the piss out of all these fake sightings
