If you had read one of my posts - you would have seen I did admit that we all can be guilty of sticking to party lines - and I did mean myself as well

To answer your question more directly I suppose that on this site the Mccans get slated so badly on just about everything that as a matter of just balance I tend to " defend " them as you put it.

I have stated before that to me it doesnt really concern me how the fund is spent ( of course if it became clear the fund was being embezelled into private accounts I might change my opinion )

People were not forced to donate - and I am of the opinion that by donating - you are doing that just donating - it dosent give you the right to have a say in exactly how it is spent.

It seems that fund administrators are doing their best . The Mccans are not the administrators . The fund will have to submit accounts sometime this year -

People might think Metado 3 is a waste of money or printing posters useless fine -

But I still maintain that IF Mari's father has issued proceedings to stop the poster being displayed then that is just plain wrong - regardless if teh lawyers didnt get a final signature -

anyway another day gone and still nothing seems to happen
I believe the fund is being run responsibly so i'm not concerned either how it's spent. As long as Madeleine is being searched for. And they at least are trying.
At first the McCanns were critisized for not spending the money and now again when they do.
They are always damned if they do and damned if they don't.
Madeleine is, or should be the focus. And it's really sad that she very often isn't.
 
I am so sorry to hear about Mari Luz.

Prayers to her family and loved ones and prayers to Mari Luz. May the angels guide her on her journey.

The option that Mari Luz’s murderer or murderers could be from Huelva and, more probably, be individuals close to the Cortés family is being considered. The possibility that this death could be an act of revenge against the family has not yet been discarded. This is a potential option, given that various persons, whom the family had had problems with, had threatened them.

The Police hope that the autopsy will shed light on when and where her death occurred. The fact that the body was recognisable would tend not to lend weight to the option that Mari Luz spent fifty days in the water and allows for the supposition that the abductors did not kill her on 13th January.

:(
 
No wonder the family didn't like the McCann's using Maria's photo. It could have caused more retaliation and danger.

In PT media, there are no news about the case of Madeleine this morning, apparently.

Mari Luz unfortunately continues to make front page news in many of the dailies today.

http://dn.sapo.pt/2008/03/09/internacional/corpo_mari_vai_segunda_autopsia.html

A summary of the three article's main facts:

The family is considering requesting a second autopsy, if the results of the first one prove to be inconclusive to determine the cause of death and/or who killed her.

The family will not rest until they find the person(s) who is responsible for the death of the child.

A team of five experts is providing medical/psychological assistance to the family; the parents are sedated.

The mayor of Huelva insists that he believes the child was abused and killed; he has pledged the family full assistance from the City management.

The investigators that were hired by the Cortes family, and who do not belong to Metodo3, suggested the 2nd autopsy to the family; they will begin working tomorrow to find the perpetrator(s).

The autopsy report is due within 48 hours of the end of the autopsy.

The police has investigated and dismissed the involvement of an alleged paedophile who lives in the same neighborhood, but the family of Mari Luz insists on a possible connection.

The area where the corpse was spotted, had been thoroughly searched for three times; if the body had not been spotted on Friday afternoon, it could have been pulled into the sea by the local currents, never to be found.

The parents and relatives were prevented by friends from seeing the corpse; Mari Luz's two siblings are being cared for at friends' homes, and they are aware that something serious has happened to their sister.
 
Apparently the second autopsy indicates that Mari Luz was suffocated and suffered injuries to her ribs and head before being put in the lake. It does not sound like she just accidently fell in.

JESUS DUVA - Madrid - 26/03/2008

Santiago, 52 years old, the man who has confessed to being the author of the girl's death Mari Luz Cortes in Huelva, yesterday after being arrested Tuesday afternoon in Cuenca, has been thrown back in his first statement and now said that small died by accident, has informed the agency Europe Press.

It has also been arrested his wife, although initially there was no suspicion that she intervene in the events, but only to question him. This man was the number one suspect in the murder from the outset, mainly because the thebeautifulgame was seen alive for the last time to spend in front of his home in the same neighborhood, Torrejon, where she lived with her family. The girl disappeared on January 13 when he went to buy sweets at a kiosk.

It was interrogated

The alleged murderer already been interrogated in Grenada time ago, before it was found on March 7, the body of the lowest in the estuary of Huelva, but he was released in the absence of evidence or evidence against him. At present resided with his wife in a village in the province of Cuenca, where he had moved to avoid possible retaliation by the family of Mari Luz, which was the suspicion that this man was linked to the disappearance of the girl.

The investigations have led to the arrest of Santiago G. Borne by the Brigade Judicial Huelva and the Group of Disappeared of the Central Unit Specialized and Violent Crime (UDEV), which is now trying to corroborate the version of events given by the detainee. The registration of the housing of this man, in Huelva have not been found traces of blood or other evidence of the dead girl, which, for the moment, the accusation is based on the evidence available against him.

The inmate has a history of abuse on children, including one of her daughters, why a judge had issued a warrant for long distance from the lowest to guard against possible re-harassing, according to police sources have reported.

Torrejon's neighbours have expressed dismay after the arrest of these two individuals, while parents and relatives of small unmanned leave home, except for the grandfather, who have nothing but news of the facts was in his car. The neighbours, who have agolpado at the door of the house of wedlock arrested are "confident" that the couple is guilty. Now seeking justice "hard" for those arrested.

This is him.
 
Well, it's clear that he lived very close to Mary Luz's home, and so had opportunity, but did he have any connection to Portugal at the time of Madeleine's death? I guess we'll find out.

Disturbing details - ugh. :mad: He was a known offender and the one they've always been looking at for this crime.
 
Thanks colomom for the updates. Unbelievable.

I haven't followed this as close as y'all. Could this guy have anything to do with Madeleine? Or no relation, IYO?

Hi Christine,

This blogger sums up my thoughts on that nicely:

http://frommybigdesk.blogspot.com/2008/03/mari-luz-linked-to-madeleine-case.html

Seems highly unlikely that a local gypsy man who was known to be a perv around town (with his daughter) would drive 120 miles away to a resort village to kidnap a child. He obviously had access to local children so why take that kind of risk? He snatched Mari Luz as she passed in front of his house on the way back from buying sweets.

Thanks. I was wondering where he was living in relation to Madeleine's kidnapping/whatever happened to that poor child.
 
Kidnapped Boy Found After 15 Years

http://news.sky.com/skynews/article/0,,30200-1310789,00.html

Latvian police say a teenage boy who was kidnapped when he was a baby will soon be reunited with his mother.
*******
Rare but thankfully some children are found after a long time. How wonderful for his parents. :)
After such a long time though goodness knows how this poor young man is going to come to terms with what happened to him. He has a difficult time ahead. I just hope he gets all the help he needs.
