This is slipping from the news and the police are starting to scale down their seraches.

Evidence seems to suggest that Madeline may have been taken to Spain and yet very few people out there are aware of what has happened or what she looks like etc.

We need to send as many emails as we can to Spanish businesses with a poster attachment and highlight this case.

I need mumsnetters to volunteer.

I have called in sick today to get this started but this is a massive task and I cannot do it on my own.

Please let me know if you can help.

Senior british police officer has said he thinks there was no intruder and she will be found very locally within days

Ooopsydaisy · 12/05/2007 19:34

Well ladies,

I am just watching Spanish news and Madeleine has made the FIRST ITEM OF NEWS TONIGHT.

They are paying attention at the people's initiatives. Lots of pics of posters, Sun frontpages.

In my opinion, the Spanish media is very well covering her dissapearance.

dinny · 12/05/2007 19:40

how can there have been no intruder, Noddy? don't understand what he is insinuating...?

Twiga · 12/05/2007 19:41

You can also txt to get them to appeal on Eurovision - send the following to 61124: Please screen an appeal for madeleine mcCanns return on Eurovision tonight.

Think this is a genuine number etc, just recieved from a good friend.

wannaBeWhateverIWannaBe · 12/05/2007 19:53

and that txt number is for bbc breakfast news.

here .

glassslipper · 12/05/2007 19:54

i read this earlier wannabe. i dont agree with the yellow ribbon thing myself. agree with the posters to keep the profile raised but i see ribbons as reflecting a 'cause' rather than a case.

noddyholder · 12/05/2007 20:07

He says several senior officers think there was no forced entry and she wandered out the door and the scemnt was lost v close to the appartment at the small shop which was closed.He thinks she may have been picked there and could be in an inhabited house very locally.

PeachyChocolateEClair · 12/05/2007 20:07

The one who said there was no intruder thinks she got out herself and was picked up at the supermarket (report on Sky website), not insinuating parental involvement or anything like that

The family have said they are getting great comfort from the support- if the yellow ribbon thing has that effect then I am all for it.

PeachyChocolateEClair · 12/05/2007 20:08

X post!

Twiga · 12/05/2007 20:15

aaah, prob a bit late then, sorry behind. Hope they screen something though, it should be a massive audience all in all.

PinkChick · 12/05/2007 20:29

i was wondering tonight how no one heard her being taken?, the other two children were in bed with her and are old enough to 'say' something even to parents if not police?, people wer staying in apartments close by and the place they were eating was in eyesight and no one heard her being taken???????

ChocolateFace · 12/05/2007 20:31

It was obviously planned, the twins were asleep. The abductors checked no one was looking. The apt' wasn't in view of the tapas bar, Pink Chick.

helenhismadwife · 12/05/2007 20:34

I am sorry if this has been suggested already I have read a lot of the thread but not all of it;

have you considered mailing Haulage companies they travel all over Europe they could all be given posters to put in the lorries etc I dont know of many but Eddie Stobard and another one you see a lot all over Europe is Norbert Dentressangle, also there are a few websites set up for Ex pats they may be useful to contact.

PinkChick · 12/05/2007 20:40

Chocolate Face, on news this morn it shows the tapas bar and the apartment from it, although you couldnt see the shutters(on other side) you could see the apartment?, although i guess the tapas bar will have had music on so as not to hear anything at that distance?..but she must have made some noise??

quietmouse · 12/05/2007 20:42

PinkChick, I think if the abduction was well planned, which is obviously was, then they could easily have got her out of the apartment with being seen.

Remember she was sleeping, so probably less likely to protest.....

I really hope this campaigning makes a difference.

Has anyone had a reply from any of the Eurovision emails?

PinkChick · 12/05/2007 20:44

yes, maybe she didnt wake up? my dd doesnt wake up when i get her out of bed each night for a cuddle, i just wonderd if the other LO's had 'said' anything.

quietmouse · 12/05/2007 20:48

I think, generally 2 year olds are quite deep sleepers....

and it's likely Madeleine wouldn't have woken immiedately imo. I lift my 3 year old dd every night to go the toilet and she never wakes.

I don't believe the theory about her walking to the supermarket on her own, myself, but that's just my opinion.

PinkChick · 12/05/2007 20:56

no, i dont think that has happend either, but something must have came about for them to suggest?, also they are now seaching an apartment right near the McCanns???, the people renting it checked out the night Madeleine went missing?

AbbaTsmum · 12/05/2007 21:31

Where did you read that?

doyouwantfrieswiththat · 12/05/2007 21:31

disappointed at no publicity at the beginning of eurovision - can understand them not wanting to spoil the mood though. Perhaps they'll do it before the voting or at the end .

AbbaTsmum · 12/05/2007 21:32

Where did you read that?

clutteredup · 12/05/2007 21:37

just on the news that eurovision won't do it as there are millions of kids go missing all accross europe so consider her not a special case, hard for parents of course she is to them but they do have a point

quietmouse · 12/05/2007 21:40

that is very disappointing.

I don't see the logic in that. I know lots of children go missing but this little 3 year old girl is missing now and could be anywhere in Europe.

FGS, it's her 4th birthday - you would think they could make an appeal wouldn't you?

clutteredup · 12/05/2007 21:42

but what about all those other missin gchildrens parents we don't know about whose children are also missing now who haven't got the same level of coverage, they must feel just as desperate.
