Crimewatch broadcast

Please feel free to put observations on the show, reports of forkers being carted off in hysterics, etc here.

Round-up of other cases, etc., first.

Thanks for the info Bonny.  I can't seem to find anything here.

Hoping that Bren may do a video as she so kindly usually does.

The forkers are going to hate this...

McCanns reminiscing about happier, earlier days, and now we've switched to PDL, scene of Madeleine's abduction.

McCanns speaking again about Madeleine being desperate to get in pool despite cold, actors playing them now. Tennis scene.

Adults routine, dining in tapas 50 yards away.

Now onto May 3rd.

Little girl playing Madeleine says Where were you when we were crying, McCanns talk about extra checking.

Especially fun day at pool.

McCanns describing the day as actors recreate scene. Early evening now. Gerry back from tennis at 7.

Children in bed, sleeping, curtains drawn, etc.

Left for meal approx 8.30.

Matt checks his kids about 9.

Gerry goes up a bit after, notices door slightly wider than left. Sees twins in cots, Madeleine sleeping.

Stops to chat with Jez.

Jane goes to check her kids.

Matt checks 9.30ish, says all well.

10 pm now - Kate goes to apartment. Notices kids' door is wide open, then it seems to slam. Opens it, sees Madeleine is gone. Checks parents room, no Madeleine, sees window is open, and shutters.

==========

This is awful, Kate is clearly upset remembering it.

Later.

Jane remembers seeing man carrying child - was he man who took Madeleine?

First appeal on Crimewatch.

Talking about being made arguidos.

Knew they were innocent, unjust, crazy, etc.

Formally cleared in 2008.

Campaigned to get case reopened and find missing daughter.

Speaking of hole in their lives.

Now recap on appeal to Cameron, etc.

Formally cleared!
That will get the Antis screaming!

Redwood now. Back to zero, work paid off when given greenlight to launch new investigation.

This is the truest account yet of what happened that night.

Description of OC area.

This is awful, Kate is clearly upset remembering it.

She has to be, Bonny. It was apparently common knowledge in their village that she needed to know what had happened to her child.

Jane's sighting.

Pivotal moment. Man she saw widely thought to be abductor but team took nothing for granted.

OH.

One family using night creche gave them 'interesting information'.

LOOKS LIKE THAT IS WHO JANE SAW.

There's even a photo of him in his holiday clothes with his face blurred.

Bloody Hell, the whole timeline was wrong all along

BECAUSE BLOODY AMORAL DIDN'T BOTHER TO CHECK.

ARGHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Back to Smith sighting.

Discussion of e-fits.

Interested in fair-haired men seen hanging around apartments.

Man seen in stairwell, round up of odd characters, including two seen after abduction.

Redwood - it has hallmarks of planned abductions.

Plea for people to come forward as they're desperate to eliminate innocent people.

Third strand.

Fourfold increase in burglaries in area before she went missing.

Back to McCanns.

Looking back on night....

Gerry speaking about guilt, ifs, buts. Kate persecuted herself over decision to go to Tapas - why did she think that was OK?

But it doesn't help Madeleine, and the person who committed the crime is the person who took a child from her family.

Police speaking now.

Until they get amnesia Greenink.  

McCanns speaking now:

Feeling hopeful and optimistic, new info taking things forward.

Interviewer asking Kate why she's putting herself thru heartache,

Kate - doesn't matter as long as Madeleine is found.

There is hope, they don't know what's happened to Madeleine. Efits etc so important, best chance of finding Madeleine.

Urging people who may know anything to come forward, public have been fantastic.

Back to efits, plea for people with info about them, fair-haired men or burglaries to phone in.

Ends.

No wonder journalists have been more willing to be critical of the PJ.

That is a damming indictment that they never even checked the parents of children being taken back from the Creche.

DAMMING!

2 PEOPLE have rang in with the same name for that efit

Greenink, you have no idea how angry I am right now - I cannot imagine how the McCanns must feel.

I don't blame the man for not coming forward sooner, and I have no doubt the McCann-haters and hounders will soon be doing their best to stalk the poor man.

But why the HELL wasn't that checked automatically? It's screwed the whole thing.

On a positive note, at least poor Jane Tanner doesn't have to torment herself thinking Madeleine had been abducted right in front of her anymore.

And so much for all the scum who have been calling her a liar and worse all these years.

As predicted, the forkers were barking up the wrong tree, telling Jane she should be handing herself into the police 'toot sweet' and all the rest of the garbage.

I think this proves that the PJ still use the old fascist mantra of 'guilty until proven innocent' - old habits die hard, I am afraid. Amoral had already applied this reasoning so why bother to follow any leads. Stitch 'em up, bang 'em up. LL

I hope it eats him up.  

I am reliably informed that the screeching on haverns has reached very high decibels, with accusations of perjury. LL   

I don't know what to say without swearing. Why the hell didn't Gonc check who had used the night creche? It's so basic it beggars belief.

He was too busy trying to twist things round to make Jane Tanner look like a liar to do any basic detective work.

She was telling the truth all along - but she didn't see the abductor. How much time has been wasted over this?

The only consolation is that it makes the McCann-haters look like a bunch of complete tw@ts- not that they need much help there.

They can screech all they want LL.  What are they anyway?  Serving experienced detectives?

Redwood - it has hallmarks of planned abductions.

So tough sh*t to the hounders.
