Where is Madeleine? Where is she?

[Claycat]

I still feel that Madeleine is alive and living with someone who wanted her for their child. I think she now has a real cat, an orange tabby.

Thank you so much for the Portugese article about the continuing searches at the dam.

I find it very interesting that it is a professional society that is bankrolling the search. Someone must think someone has received some pretty reliable information.

I'm just so glad they are still looking for her. I have no faith in Metodo 3. I think they have overplayed their hand on several occasions and it is just not the way a private investigating team should work.

Now - maybe the new interviews will happen next week and there will actually be a break in this this case.

Crossing my fingers and saying prayers,

Salem

I just wanted to tell you Salem that whenever I see those articles mentioning the searches at the dam.....I think of you!
:blowkiss: you're welcome

While I really want to have Maddie found, no matter what, the thought of a discovery there really disturbs my soul.

 

[Salem]

(((((hugs)))) for you Colomom. I agree, I would rather she be found alive and well. However, I do take some comfort from the knowledge that someone is looking for her. And, as one of the other posters said awhile back, if they don't find her there, they can at least rule it out. And, if that is the case, maybe they will be motivated to continue to look for her in other areas? One can only hope.

Now, I'm hoping this next week will bring us news of the Portugese LE in Britian.

Divers resume search for Madeleine

DIVERS RESUMED a search of the waters at the Arade Dam today (Monday) in a private operation commissioned by the Madeira-based lawyer Marcos Aragão Pereira.

The operation started shortly after 10am near the dam’s level control tower as the information obtained Mr Aragão points strongly to that area of the lake.

The search is being directed by Martin Falkous, who has five divers from Dive Time, based in Lagos, plus two from the Portimão Bombeiros who have joined the operation in their own time.

They have been trained in searching for bodies and were invited to participate by José Paias, who is sponsoring the operations.

Martin Falkous said that they were looking for a body or body parts. If anything is found, the divers have been told not to bring it to surface but instead mark the spot with buoys for another boat to be called to carry out recovery.

Visibility in the water is very poor and the divers are using touch and feel in their search. With mud being between one and two metres deep at the bottom of the water, the colour changed from a dark green to light brown within seconds of the divers beginning the search.

Because of these conditions, Martin Falkous has instructed the divers to bring up to the surface any strange objects, or objects out of the ordinary, that they find to be identified.

When divers arrived at the dam this morning, Marcos Aragão Pereira was already there with his assistant Telma Fernandes, and José Paias, one of the partners of SPEC, Lda, an engineering company based in Portimão which is sponsoring 50 per cent of the cost of the operation.

A few minutes later, Heldér Braz, who is in charge of the dam’s monitoring and control system, joined the group as Marcos Aragão Pereira asked INAG, the national water agency which controls all the dams in the country, to allow the divers to go inside the water tower tubs.

This followed the first phase of searches, held in late January and February, when divers found an entrance covered by a metal grate and could not search inside the water tubes leading to the tower.

The system is used to water the fields located in the south side of the dam and the last time they were accessible was in 1998, when the dam was emptied.

The search is expected to continue until the end of the week and Marcos Aragão Pereira has said that if Madeleine McCann’s body is found in the Arade dam, he will reveal all the information related to the tip-off that has led to the search.

:blowkiss: :blowkiss: Thank you Colomom :blowkiss: :blowkiss:

The translations from the proboards are so much easier to read then the google translations!

Is it just me, or does it seem like they really expect to find something in the dam?

This poor, sweet baby.......

Maddie - where ever you are, I pray you find a way to reveal yourself.

I think my PM gave you my feelings.

I think that the searches are being carried out because the "source" is a good one.

I do think they expect to find.....something.

Furious???

 

[iNTERESTEDWOMAN]

It dives me nuts when people say things like that. "I'll tell if we find something"...good grief, why does it matter, just tell now. Just because you don't find her body, doesn't mean she wasn't there. She could have floated near the waters edge, and snatched by a wolf or coyote, (or what ever wild animals are in the area.) Sorry to be graphic. I don't think the guy knows crap, and probably hired by the McCanns to take the focus off of them while they re-group.

Right now, all it is, is a big dog and pony show. Why would they be furious that someone was spending their own money searching the lake? Whats the skin off their back? It's a show. A big fake. Poor me = $$$

Furious???

Great question, Colomom! Why are they "furious" that someone wants to look for their daughter? That's hinky. I guess they are more satisfied with Metodo's "non-searches". :bang:

And I have to add - at least the lake-searcher guy is spending his own money, unlike Metodo which is spending the Madeleine Fund money sent in by so many people. I think those people who gave money really expected to see searches going on too, but it's just never happened.

Buys alot of poster board, though.

I don't get this, either. If she's not there, then soon enough, the money will be spent and everyone will know that as well.

But more importantly, how do the McCanns know she's not there? Sure, they hope she's alive. But if searching shows she's not there, and the divers come up empty-handed, then doesn't that strengthen their hopes, not weaken them?

How can they, in any way, say for sure where she is not?

It's extremely puzzling to me how this would cause a reaction of "fury" from the McCanns.

Re- Mccanns "FURY" ....Texana it's extremely puzzling to me why anyone would automatically believe an article when all the information is reported to come from "friends" & " source."
Tabloid at it's worse IMO. They want a headline and one using Madeleine and her family fits the bill regardless of the pain it may cause.

 

[Texana]

If there isn't some bit of truth in an angry reaction, then I think Clarence Mitchell should issue a correction and demand a retraction.

He's the media handler, isn't he?

 

[ThoughtFox]

April: Usually stories of this kind come straight from Clarence Mitchell. He is the McCann spin doctor, and he often describes the emotional state of the McCanns. If they are not furious, and support this search, then I think they should say so.

 

[christine2448]

I agree, the McCanns should fight this if it's not their words. I briefly 'fell off the fence' to believe the McCanns guilty after seeing this post about the article...then reality hit, it's prolly not even true, we can't know for sure, can we, AND, please consider the source? I'm not falling for it. I'm still on the fence. I have teetered more than I care to admit.:crazy:

Isn't it interesting that the press are not being blamed when they were the one's who used the McCanns for a headline....and therefore sales....by using the ever famous "source...." Oh boy does he get around. :waitasec:

I don't see why Clarence Mitchell or the McCanns should have to issue a correction. And wouldn't the press just love playing with that....Another headline...and even more sales....great!!!!

 

[teacherbees]

If I were the McCanns -

First off, I'd be THRILLED for any and all actions aimed at figuring out what happened to my child. Of course, I'd want to keep a hope that she might still be alive, but it would be stupid and naive not to also consider the possiblity that she was murdered or accidentally killed. So, in my mind, more would be better. Anyone who searched for my child would be hailed as a hero, in my book. (Assuming I didn't actually KNOW what happened and didn't have any guilt to hide.)

If by chance the press falsely reported that I was angry at someone's sincere intention to find out what happened to my child, you can sure bet I'd issue a graceful clarification. I'd be happy to give some reporter a sound bite stating, "My child's father and I are deeply grateful for the assistance of ....whatever group....in finding our little girl. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts and pray that your efforts will help uncover evidence in the mystery of what happened to our beloved daughter."

But that's just me.

 

[christine2448]

But that's just me.

And me, and many others. I am wondering what they will do about this. If they don't speak out, I may teeter again.

The way I read it the McCanns take the claim she was killed and left in the lake 2 days after her going missing as an accusation.
