The old thread takes too long to load.

Lets hope this is the one that contains the good news that she has been found alive and well.

I am not totally obsessed with Sky honestly but they now have breaking news that the Russian guy has been taken away

'One neighbour, who asked not to be named, said Mr Malinka had a large number of cars.'

eh?

mumemma · 16/05/2007 20:27

Ah, but does he have a glass eye? lol

quietmouse · 16/05/2007 20:29

niceglasses, that is obviously someone's way of saying there are a number of cars that would need to be searched....

I would think, anyway.

mishw · 16/05/2007 20:29

The poster to go with the email says

Missing Madeleine!
Madeleine McCann was abducted from Praia Da Luz, Portugal on 03/05/07.

(there is a picture of her here but I can't find a way of putting it on)

If you have any information about her whereabouts, please contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 UK

Please Help

The glass eye thing was really pissing me off all day yesterday.
I could not understand at all its relevance in the case.

quietmouse · 16/05/2007 20:30

I think that is the email and poster which was being circulated on the other thread mishw

Wolfgirl · 16/05/2007 20:32

for fear of being rapped on the knuckles, could it be that RM is a one eye bandit ho ho ho. joke ladies, just a joke.

it has no relevance to this case at all.

mishw · 16/05/2007 20:35

Found it!

english poster

spanish poster

french poster

Please send the email along with the attachments to whoever you know.

sunflowervalley · 16/05/2007 20:36

When I just saw the picture of the Russian guy I had to look again,he resembles RM

mishw · 16/05/2007 20:36

oops sorry! Oh well you never know someone might not have seen the other post (like me) and see this and do it - sorry for repeating though

mumemma · 16/05/2007 20:37

I'm going to make a wildly speculative comment here, please don't shoot me down. I'm not trying to be amateur sleuth either but if you google the Russian "Sergey Malinka" the only link is to www.corlettmaritima.com/indexx.swf which is some sort of expedition organisation who appear to own a boat moored in Lagos Marina. Remember the report of the man dragging a girl along near Lagos Marina? Sorry, this is probably so way off the mark.

quietmouse · 16/05/2007 20:39

omg mumemma. That's frightening. Maybe you should contact someone about that? Seriously.

quietmouse · 16/05/2007 20:40

I really do mean that in all seriousness btw.... That could be important.

Wolfgirl · 16/05/2007 20:41

oh dear, it seems we are all shaking in our boots to type anything! LOL

I was reading some old material earlier today, and read about the balding man with white trousers, dragging a young girl to a marina. YOu may well have a point mumemma, but no doubt the police will have thought about that too, especially now they have his laptop etc.

however, if this does turn out to be a lead, and madeleine was taken on a boat, then she is well out of portugal now. God bless the poor little lamb, she must be petrified. I hope that whoever has her, is treating her well, feeding her etc. Bloody ba--rds.

Wolfgirl · 16/05/2007 20:44

Because crime of this nature is so rare, in fact non-existant in Praia da luz, can we assume that this crime was planned well in advance, and it just happened to be poor madeleine they took. And they took opportunity of taking her, becasue they saw the parents leave her alone?

lilymolly · 16/05/2007 20:47

I have never posted on any of these threads yet, for fear of reprisal, but is everyone having that sickening feeling every time they see that little girls picture on the tv? I just keep imagining what I would feel if it was my dd.

I just can not begin to imagine what the parents are going through.

I am convinced it must have been pre planned and the family must have been watched by the abductor

EvanMom · 16/05/2007 20:49

The police have now taken away the russian - breaking news on the o-so-reliable Sky

Dora74 · 16/05/2007 20:53

lilymolly..I agree..i don't know how the parents are able to go on...They are very strong corageous people..I would be incapable of anything i think..i would have to just be sedated...It really doesn't bear thinking about and i hope the mccanns find a way to carry on somehow.

EvanMom · 16/05/2007 20:54

...sorry ... I am late as ever! Keep up EvanMom

Wolfgirl · 16/05/2007 20:57

I think it was pre-meditated as opposed to opportunist; and yes I think you may be right LM, the family will have been watched; but if you were RM, and saw a little girl identical to your own, would you really agree to an abduction - knowing what lay ahead for the poor little mite?

Someone I know speculated again today

Wolfgirl · 16/05/2007 21:02

has anyone found any decent internet sites for reliable up to date or up to the minute news? what keywords are people typing in?

Dora74 · 16/05/2007 21:05

Yes..wolfgirl..a woman demented is exactly what i would be too...I too admire the mccanns for their bravery. I feel so much as well for the grandparents..(Kates parents) who we have seen several times...it must be so so difficult to watchtyour daughter go through this pain..The grandmother has said she has seen her daughter howl like an animal...that absoutly had me almost in tears. ..To have cameras following your every move whilst going through this grief must be terrible.

Wolfgirl · 16/05/2007 21:10

man alive, what you said - howl like an animal, just made me cry and swallow a lump in my throat. Thats how I would be. I would be peeling my own skin off I reckon. The poor woman will never EVER live her life normally again; she will no doubt have a break down, but will have to survive for her other two children. What an awful awful place to be.

terrible.

mumemma · 16/05/2007 21:25

Let's hope she doesn't have to wait too much longer - the police do seem to be very active now.
