What better thread to put this on than the Big Bloomies on the grounds that it has the most views! In case you hadn't twigged, I am trying to attract attention to a very worthwhile cause which I have explained in its rightful place here:-...

Ben Needham Christmas Appeal:- Ben has been missing for 20 years. He was snatched as a toddler in Greece. Mum Kerry is trying to reach 10,000 followers on Twitter by Christmas in her effort to get this message out to as many people as possible. Recently, she won the right to have Ben's DNA...

YES! December & UKGuy. That's the chappie. Many, many thanks. I knew this was the place to come for that info!

I am pretty sure this guy would have pre-dated JMK but I could be wrong. I don't think he did. I think he joined here for a while. My memory really is very hazy on this but I remember another member asking me to check the guy's credentials out independently and I found the same discrepencies...

Does anyone recall a fruitcake who wrote a book about the Ramsey case and who claimed to be some expert? My memory is hazy but I *think* it might have been psychology. The rub was that he was a fake and had "borrowed" the identity of a real expert (with a few small details changed). He got...

Pat Brown is a good speaker and she's good at explaining the theory of profiling. Unfortunately, she has made a judgement on the McCann case which breaches her own principles of profiling and she has not equipped herself well with the facts of the case or with European laws. I fear that in...

One of the problems with the case is that there was strict judicial secrecy surrounding the case in the early days and the tabloids published a lot of very damaging misinformation. Unfortunately, this spawned a hate campaign led by former (ie failed) solictor Tony Bennett who was also a failed...

Goodness, this is an awesome continuation of my "experiment"! Well done to the OP. A fellow forum poster from the US came to visit me last summer and she was interested to see the Bloomies. She remarked that they looked even huger in reality than in the photos. I gave her a pair as a...

I absolutely agree with you that the Ramseys damaged the investigation. I consider that to be unforgiveable given that they had hired top lawyers to protect their rights. I cannot understand why they didn't simply put their egos to one side and go down to the police station with their lawyers...

I am not accusing you of deliberately lying about this, just suggesting that you are "mistaken". The Daily Mail article is quite misleading as it appears to suggest that Kate McCann told this to the Mirror when in fact she did not. It would be an easy misinterpretation to make. With regard...

Rash, we've been over this time and time again. The McCanns were not allowed to discuss anything to do with the investigation. This was under the terms of Portuguese judicial secrecy. Why should someone look suspicious for abiding by the constraints of the law?

If it exists, you will be able to find a source for it. The mccann files site has an archive of all the media reports. We are not talking about something insignificant here, we are talking about something HIGHLY significant. If you cannot find your article, I'm afraid I will have to conclude...

Isabella, I have now produced two sources which state a police source made the claim and the original of these states quite clearly that Kate refused to say where Cuddle cat was. If you think you've got a more reliable source which contradicts this then please produce it. And no where did I...

With reference to my above post. On 12th August 2007, Lori Campbell of the Sunday Mirror wrote her "exclusive" article in which a "police source" revealed that Cuddle cat had been placed "out of reach" on a "high shelf" and this same "police source" claimed that Kate McCann had been terrified...

That certainly explains your "take" on the case and why most of your arguments appear to have their roots in the early tabloid stories. I personally find it best to read both sides, check the sources and make my own mind up. Believe it or not, I'm pretty ruthless. If there was any evidence...

Interesting update. I have done some research on this because I think it's really important to get facts right in something as important and serious as this. I found tons of posts on anti-McCann forums/blogs which allude to Kate having told a tabloid that Cuddle cat was on a shelf or "out of...

It seems that many of these "McCann lies" are not lies at all but merely tabloid myths, inaccurate reporting, speculation and misrepresentations of the truth which have been thus pepetuated on blog sites and forums over the past two years. I don't know how a new case follower is supposed to...

I'd be REALLY interested to see this interview which you claim Kate McCann gave to the New of the World (or any other tabloid newspaper) during the period that she was bound by the Portuguese judicial secrecy. Do you have a link? I've tried finding it, but I'm afraid the oldest reference I can...

Just for the record:- 1) No-one threatened to knife Tony Bennett. The "threat" was entirely misrepresented. The controversial blogger in question said he needed a good "kicking" for his relentless stalking of the parents of a missing child and his efforts to thwart the search for Madeleine...

And if you want to interview Mr Amaral, it will cost you a mere 80,000 Euros (106575.99 US$). Not a bad living for a disgraced ex copper! http://blogs.news.sky.com/lifeofcrime
