Madeleine McCann Still Missing … Suspect had Child Porn on his Computer

As the search goes on for Madeleine McCann, a witness is guilt ridden for not reporting Madeleine_mccann8what she had see. At the time the witness just did not realize the importance of what she had seen.

The vital witness, a close friend of Kate and Gerry McCann, was on her way to join Madeleine’s parents for dinner at the tapas bar when she saw a man with a blonde girl wrapped in a blanket.

The scene is eerie. On the night Maddie was snatched, she saw a man with a blonde girl wrapped in a blanket. She was wearing “distinguishable” pink pajamas, the woman has told police. At the time she thought it was odd, but only realized to her horror too late that it was probably Madeleine.

The man is white, 35 to 40 years old, of medium build and 5ft 10in. He has short hair and was wearing a dark jacket, light beige trousers and dark shoes.

Mad McCann_poster

The suspect in the Madeleine McCann disappearance, Robert Murat, did according to The Suns front page headlines, have kiddie porn on his computer. More HERE.

Ever since Madeline went missing, child pornography and paedophilia have been the tabloids’ main line of speculation.

No meaningful debate on “every parent’s worst nightmare” has been had in the past two weeks. There have been no calls for a paedophile amnesty, a period of grace in which anyone with child porn on their PC or in their locker can contact the authorities and explain how they came by it without fear of being branded and charged. The police could then trace the material to source and catch the evil profiteers.

What we have is finger-pointing and the news that Robert Murat “visited a string of depraved sites”. And this is Murat who lives “yards” from the holiday flat where Madeleine was snatched. Or Maddie, as the Sun insists on calling her.

Pfc. Joseph Anzack, Jr’s Body Found in the Euphrates River in Iraq

We are saddened to report that the body of missing Fort Drum soldier, Joseph Anzack Pfc. Joseph J. AnzackJr was found yesterday in the Euphrates River in Iraq. Anzack was one of the soldiers missing in Iraq who was kidnapped two weeks ago while patrolling near Baghdad. God bless and thank you for your service and ultimate sacrifice to our country.

The military says the body found in the Euphrates River yesterday in Iraq is one of the Fort Drum soldiers who was kidnapped about two weeks ago.

Joseph Anzack, Jr., 20, and two other soldiers have been missing since they were ambushed while patrolling near Baghdad. A group linked to al-Qaida is taking the credit for that ambush. The military is doing a DNA test to confirm that the body is, in fact, Anzack’s.

Initial reports also said a second body had been found near the same location. But the search is still ongoing for the other two soldiers.

Joseph Anzack Remembered by High School Friends

TORRANCE (AP)  — Schoolmates remembered Pfc. Joseph Anzack Jr. as a gentle jock and turned their school into a makeshift memorial after learning Army officials had confirmed the 20-year-old’s body was found during an exhaustive search for him and two other soldiers ambushed in Iraq. Friends at South High School, where Anzack graduated just two years ago, observed a moment of silence Thursday and described him as a “pumped up” athlete who made them laugh and comforted them when they needed it.

”You’d be sad and sitting there by yourself, and he’d come up to you and just talk to you, and say, ‘Hey, how’s your day? Are you OK?”’ childhood friend Erika Esquivel said.

The school’s front steps became a shrine of flowers, flags and balloons, marked with a sign reading: “You’re our HERO.” The soldier’s Web page was also flooded with condolences.

3 Year old British Toddler Madeleine McCann disappeared from a tourist resort in Praia da Luz, Portugal

Three year old British toddler, Madeleine McCann, disappeared from the resort that her Madeleine McCann 2family was staying in Praia da Luz, Portugal. Police have initially speculated that she was abducted by a pedophile. Time is of the essence and the clock is running to save this child from a sexual predator.

Police searching for a British toddler abducted during a family holiday in Portugal, fear she has been taken by a paedophile.

Three year old Madeleine McCann disappeared from a tourist resort in Praia da Luz on Thursday evening, while her parents were dining nearby.

The couple has released new photographs of her to help with the search. (Sky News)

Pedophile seized British toddler, say Portuguese police

Police searching for a British toddler abducted while on holiday in Portugal fear she has been snatched by a pedophile.

Madeleine vanished between 9pm and 10pm on Thursday night from her room at a holiday complex in Praia da Luz, a fishing village on the Algarve, as she slept between her twin brother and sister, aged two. (Sydney Morning Herald)

Police believe that Madeleine is still alive and being held 2-3 miles from where she was abducted.

Madeleine was taken from the ground-floor apartment at the Mark Warner Ocean Club holiday village between 9:30pm and 10pm. Mrs McCann found that the outside shutter and window to Madeleine’s room had been opened and her daughter was missing shortly before 10pm local time.

Detectives searching for Madeleine have said they are convinced the child is still alive, that they know the “prime suspect” and that she is being held close to the resort. Police also said they had an artist’s impression of the suspect, which they were not releasing for fear of endangering Madeleine’s life. (The Scotsman)

There are numerous media reports of the police drawing heavy criticism for the manner in how this case was initially handled.

UPDATE I: Portuguese police under fire over missing UK girl, 3

But there were recriminations in the Portugese media over the police’s handling of the investigation in the first few hours after Madeleine’s disappearance.

The Portugese daily newspaper, Diario de Noticias, claimed that border police were not told that a child had been kidnapped until about midday on Friday, more than 12 hours after Madeleine was reported missing.

As a member of the EU, Portugal has no border controls with Spain, and motorists can cross from one country to the other unchecked.

The newspaper claimed that proper procedure would have been for Portugal’s Judicial Police – the local equivalent of CID – to have tipped off the country’s Borders and Aliens Service as soon as they knew that a child had been kidnapped.

Another paper, Correio de Manha, said the main border crossing from the Portuguese Algarve to Spain had no special controls in place whatsoever until Saturday afternoon. (NZ Herald)

Gerry and Kate McCann attended church in the Praia da Luz holiday village, where their daughter Madeleine disappeared on Thursday night from the family’s villa apartment.

“Please continue to pray for Madeleine,” Kate McCann said as she and her husband left the church in a statement to reporters waiting outside.

“From today’s service the thing we are going to take from this is strength and courage and hope, we continue to hope for the best possible outcome from this for us and for Madeleine,” her husband added.

UPDATE III: Balding man seen dragging blonde girl towards marina

Portuguese police investigating the abduction of Madeleine McCann are hunting for a balding man who is believed to have been seen dragging a girl to a marina in a town close to where she disappeared.

Detectives have not identified the man but have said that he is a suspect in the kidnapping of Madeleine from a holiday apartment on the Algarve on Thursday night

A police artist’s impression of a balding man who was seen with a blonde girl similar to Madeleine shows just the back of his head. He is described as being white, 5ft 11in and is understood to have been wearing white trousers. The man is believed to have been seen dragging the girl on a road leading to a marina in the town of Lagos, about 5 miles (8km) from Praia da Luz. Another witness is reported to have seen a girl struggling in the back of a car on a road leading from Praia da Luz. (Times on Line)

3 Year Old Isaiah Vargas Kidnapped in Mesa, AZ (UPDATE: Found Deceased)

3 year old Isaiah Vargas from Mesa, AZ has been kidnapped from the parking lot of his apartment complex near McKellips Road and Mesa Drive on Thursday around 9:45 p.m. Three African-American men are believed to be involved in the kidnapping. The suspects got out of a green VW Jetta.

No Amber Alert has been issued by the police as they claim that this case does not meet all the requirements. This is something that we will never understand why children are put at risk and exclusions are put on Ambers. One would think this is about the safety of children. Police are stating that the boy is missing and in danger.

UPDATE I: Baby Kidnapped from Texas Hospital.

LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) - A woman posing as a medical worker kidnapped a three-day-old infant from a hospital early Saturday, police said.

Mychael Darthard-Dawodu was last seen at 1:20 a.m. at Covenant Lakeside Hospital when a woman wearing blue and flower-print hospital scrubs and a gray hooded jacket took her and drove off in a pickup truck, police said.

Hospital surveillance video showed the woman with the jacket hood pulled around her head and holding a purse as she walked through the lobby.

The woman may have had a male accomplice, Hudgens said.

“At this point we don’t have any reason to believe that the family knew the suspect,” Hudgens said.

The suspect had gone into the mother’s room several times before the baby was taken, telling the mother the baby needed treatment, said Stafford.

“I think there was more than one attempt,” Stafford said. “I’m trying to verify if it was two or three times.”

3-year-old Ethan Foley Still Missing, Kidnapped by Biological Mother, Noel Raleigh (UPDATE: Found Safe)

It has been more than a month since 3 year old Ethan Foley went missing. He was kidnapped by his biological mother, Noel Raleigh and his aunt Stephanie Martinez. Sharon Foley-Pryor is Ethan Foley’s paternal grandmother and his sole legal guardian. The missing persons case was initially handled rather poorly.

Time is critical in any missing person’s case — especially when you’re searching for a kidnapped child. But in the case of 3-year-old Ethan Foley, there was no Amber Alert issued and it took a month for police to finally alert the media. Now, we find out why police waited and why Ethan’s grandmother fears too much time has passed. Sharon Foley-Pryor, Ethan’s grandmother said, “I’m frightened for him… so frightened for him.” (KLAS-TV)

Ethan’s grand mother fears for his safety as his mother lead a rather wild and dangerous life using drugs. AMBER ALERTS are usually a beneficial tool in helping locate missing children; however, in this case it failed miserably. It supposedly did not meet the criteria. One needs to seriously ask themselves why there would be restrictions on a tool used to find children. It hardly makes sense.

That same night — Sharon Foley-Pryor says, with her legal guardianship documents in hand, she and her attorney pleaded with Metro to issue a statewide Amber Alert for Ethan — but she was told the case didn’t meet the criteria. “They said because she didn’t say that she was going to hurt him, that it couldn’t be an Amber Alert,” said Foley. Metro Missing Persons detective, Sandy Southwell, confirms there must be an imminent threat of danger to enact an Amber Alert. Metro says parental abductions are also the most complex kidnapping cases they deal with.

If you have any helpful information, call Metro’s Missing Persons Unit at 828-LOST.

UPDATE I: Missing Las Vegas Boy Found in Virginia

A three-year-old Las Vegas boy missing for a month is back in the Valley.

Ethan’s Foley’s grandmother, Sharon Foley Pryor, told Eyewitness News Friday afternoon he was located in Virginia. She is flew there to get him over the weekend.

She now hopes to work on changing the criteria for Amber Alerts so they can be issued in cases of child abductions in which it is not immediately known if there is a threat to the child. (KLAS-TV)
