Express Crimewatch Style Reconstruction 14th Oct

I didn't realise until now that Count Arthur Strong was a radio comedy show. I thought from the previous post that he was a real person and I was going to say that at least he wasn't suspected of actually being Jack the Ripper!

What do you mean? No one here gives a damn about this anymore. People moved on. They have their problems and their lives to worry about. Even in the news the interest is almost dead. These latest 'news' were broadcast 40 and 50 minutes into the 8 o'clock TV news bulletin in about 30 seconds. No one cares anymore.

It's LUDICROUS as Gerry would say. How on Earth can you emulate the PDL resort in another Country. I'm sure the McCanns didn't want to dare tread foot in Portugal for fear of being stoned to death by the McCann scourge blighting their lives . However, since Crimewatch is the Producer, not the McCanns, I'm sure had they asked Amaral to reproduce his video he would not have any objection.

You really think the BBC are going to do this openly and honestly? Not if this is any sort of benchmark.

McCanns too upset for Madeleine telly abduction re-run (my bold/italics)

KATE and Gerry McCann were too upset to appear in a TV reconstruction of the night their daughter was snatched.
By Tracey Kandohla*/Published 6th October 2013

Harrowing scenes, including when the distraught mum found Madeleine was missing, will be played out by actors.

The couple turned down a request from Scotland Yard to be involved in the Crimewatch reconstruction as “it would be far too upsetting for them,” a family source revealed yesterday.
I whould think SY will be drawing their own conclusions about that refusal.

A three-year-old with a “striking” similarity to Madeleine will double for her in the programme a week tomorrow.

Kate and Gerry have also banned the re-enactment taking place in Portugal, where she vanished, through fear of angering the country’s police.
Not being very cooperative are they?

The couple, who have eight-year-old twins Sean and Amelie, asked for filming to take place in Spain.
Well for all the good that'll do, they might just as well have picked Barnsley ...

A close source said: “More than anything in the world Kate and Gerry want to find out what happened to Madeleine.
Hello again! Had a good conference?

“But they did not want to take part in the reconstruction and they were against it being filmed in Portugal.

“Even after six years it would have been emotionally and mentally draining for Kate and Gerry to face a lookalike of their daughter on set. Can you imagine it? It would be traumatic.”
Yes, I can imagine it actually. And if it had been my daughter, I'd have been on the next plane to PORTUGAL to do a PROPER reconstruction. And to hell with how emotionally drained I felt!

I think it would be unusual - even unknown - for Crimewatch reconstructions to feature actual people who were there. Actors have always been used.

A three-year-old with a “striking” similarity to Madeleine will double for her in the programme a week tomorrow.



So another sighting now lol

So they were asked but refused !

Is crimewatch on BBC 1?

An actress with a striking similarity to Madeleine? Nobody really knows what she looked like due to the multitude of confusing images issued.

Yes in answer to frencheuropean.

I can't understand why the recon was filmed in Spain.

That's made my day almostgothic...thanks.

Tracy Kandohla was another sycophantic McCann supporter , just maybe, the Press will change their attitude. We just have to remind them that Kate said she felt very near to Madeleine when she is in PORTUGAL and this Crimestoppers report is meant to jog someone's memory perhaps.

Striking similarity? Why hasn't someone reported seeing that child?

They didn't go on the proposed Portugese recon either . we know, and SY must by now if they have been checking out the internet that the American Actress paid to play the part of Kate in a recon for the Channel 4 Anniversary had her role end up on the cutting room floor because it didn't tally with the rest of the Groups' recollection. I'm hopeful this will be a chink in the McCanns Armour , after 6 yrs no Mother would refuse to do a recon , she can harly say it is too upsetting when she is quite happy to give interviews about Madeleine.

Both McCanns have been "acting" for six years, innocent that is. By refusing to co-operate in the reconstruction are they not leaving a stone unturned?

I can't believe after six years the McCanns are faking excitement about all the new leads. If the authorities are so close to solving the "mystery", why the delay in resolution - why wait another week to make a big announcement - follow the "leads" now.

We are entering the latest silly season.

hi interested....part of me thinks this latest news from Redwood about checking out a million phone calls from 6 years ago is a sprat to catch a mackeral and he is leading the McCanns into some kind of trap and had they gone to Portugal they would have been arrested immediately.

Then common sense prevails and I realise how silly it was of me to credit Redwood with such out of the box thinking. 

in the recon i wonder if they will say kate mcann shouted - THEY HAVE TAKEN HER ow they are going to fit the time lines in god knows -- only thing i can think of is they have filmed longer time lines - usually on crime watch its like - ohh bla went out at -whatever -does anyone think that kate and gerry will fess up that no checks were done - only way to make the public nearly believe their fairy tale

Morning cass, how on earth can they replicate the Ocean Club in Spain??? Why not use the existing Panorama reconstruction, that is a true and accurate portrayal of the scene ....or has nobody thought of that?

morning panda - its just stupid - yes there are footage they could use of pdl - maybe a free jollies was on offer 5 star hotel -- bit of spendo chucked in free make overs that kind of thing

infact i have always thought re garding the mcanns - be careful what they wish for - bet they didnt think a recon was on the books - any information will sy pass it onto portugal -- just think who might have watched swathy man - ans think ha lets tell all again --smiths

Yeah, but cass, the theory of abduction rests on two probabilities, one that access to 5a was easy, and two that the kidnapper , or abductor should I say,KNEW the McCanns would not be Home in the apartment from 8pm until roughly 11pm.

Entrance to 5a is either from the gate leading to the back , entry via the glass door, or from the front door using a key. Kate's side window access has been discounted. Where in Spain are they going to replicate the Apartment , in fact the distance from the Restaurant to the Apartment , the walk from there to the Restaurant etc. I feel like emailing Crimewatch to ask whose idea it was to go to Spain and pointing out it will not be a true reconstruction but they didn't reply to my first one about going to Spain.
