More bizarre twists in McCann saga
Image
It turns out that Kate and Gerry McCann suppressed for five years ‘critical evidence’ that became the centrepiece of the recent BBC Crimewatch programme on the disappearance of their daughter Madeleine.
Findings by ex-MI5 agents long kept under wraps by the McCanns included the two e-fit images described in the Crimwatch programme by Scotland Yard’s Detective Chief Inspector Andy Redwood as of “vital importance.”
The images are of a suspected kidnapper seen by an Irish family in Praia da Luz the night Madeleine went missing.
They were given to the McCanns by a handpicked team of investigators from Oakley International hired by the McCanns’ Find Madeleine fund in 2008.
Henri Exton, an MI5’s former undercover operations chief who led the team, told the Sunday Times he was “utterly stunned” when he watched the Crimewatch programme and saw the evidence he had passed to the McCanns presented as a new breakthrough.
He said the fund had silenced his team with a lawyer’s letter binding them to the confidentiality of a report they had compiled that contained controversial findings. Exton said the legal threat had prevented them from handing over the report to Scotland Yard’s investigation until detectives had obtained written permission from the fund.
The Oakley International report, delivered in November 2008, gave little credibility to Jane Tanner’s 9.15pm sighting and focused instead on the 10pm sighting by the Irish Smith family. The investigators recommended that their e-fit images be released without delay.
For some reason the images were not published even in Kate McCann’s 2011 book Madeleine, though it devoted a whole section to eight “key sightings” and carried e-fits on all of them except the Smiths’.
In its Insight report, the Sunday Times quoted one of the Oakley International investigators as saying: “I was absolutely stunned when I watched the programme . . . It most certainly wasn’t a new timeline and it certainly isn’t a new revelation. It is absolute nonsense to suggest either of those things . . . And those e-fits you saw on Crimewatch are ours.”
The hushed-up report is said to have questioned parts of the McCanns’ evidence, contained sensitive information about Madeleine’s sleeping patterns and raised the highly sensitive possibility that she could have died in an accident after leaving the apartment herself from one of two unsecured doors.
The Sunday Times quoted a source close to the Find Madeleine fund as saying the report was considered “hypercritical of the people involved” and “would have been completely distracting” if it became public.
In fact, the Portuguese lead detective Gonçalo Amaral considered the Irish sighting to be very important back in May 2007 when the Smith family first reported it to the Policía Judiciária. Details of the sighting and ‘hypercritical information’ were in the public domain early in January 2008, three months before the Oakley team arrived on the scene.
Ebullience at the huge response to their Crimewatch programme turned to embarrassment in certain quarters when it was revealed yesterday that the BBC had cast a porn actor in the ‘reconstruction’ of events the night Madeleine disappeared.
With such films as ‘Tight Rider,’ ‘Dr Screw’ and ‘From Dusk Till Porn’ on his CV, the actor Mark Sloan was engaged by the BBC to represent one of the McCanns’ ‘Tapas-7’ holiday friends, Dr Matt Oldfield.
“How could the casting director not know of his background when they picked him? It’s all over Google. Did no one check? It is unbelievably stupid,” an agent, who did not wish to be named, told the Daily Star.
Meanwhile, although it only became official last week, it is thought the Portuguese police have been quietly back on the case for some months. A fresh team of detectives, unconnected to the original PJ investigators, is believed to be working both separately from Scotland Yard and in close liaison with them.
Things seem to be hotting up, though there is still no end to the mystery in sig

Thank you Annabel x
If Operation Grange are still looking for the stranger who abducted Madeleine, they are going to be the laughing stock of the world!

=====================
We ALL had that information months before Exton came on the scene or Oakley. It was in the witness statement of Mrs Fenn about the screaming, it was in the highly dubious checking scenario and it was in the dogs' reactions.
None of it's new, the only news is that it was suppressed and even that is hardly surprising. What's surprising is that this made it into so many papers.

So why are both Sky News and especially the scandal hit BBC, avoiding a very current news story. They seem outrageously corrupt to me!widowan wrote:

I have laughed so much at this. I read it out to my husband we were both in stitches . I wonder what Dr Oldfield thinks?

Re: More bizarre twists in McCann saga/Algarve Newswatch
The whole McCann caper is like something out of a Carry On film.

Sid James played a character called Gladstone Screwer.
I'm wondering how many people were prepared to admit they'd seen the Oldfield actor in porn films!

Apparently, if you have noticed and thought, blimey how does he keep it so 'frim' well I know how.
They grip the end off their thingy and tie an elastic band round the tip....stops the blood flowing.....apparently.
That's now strippers keep it firm for so long ....so I'm told

Whoever checked the CVs of the actors for Crime Watch should be fired. That is really pathetic, how that could slip through their vetting process.

Re: More bizarre twists in McCann saga/Algarve Newswatch
ki really don't get what all the fuss is about. hes an actor playing a part, to me its irrelevant what other things hes been in. Hes in the adult porn business which I understand is all about consenting adults. I think its more of another "how the parents must feel" story. get over it. they'll print this but will they call for an investigation into the Gaspers statement and its content? no easy non story designed to get hackles up (and that's not code for any body parts).
