Hi Brian, 

Just sending the link from the English newspaper News of the world they have a detailed sketch of the man they believed kidnapped Madeleine.

I know you are so busy but perhaps if you could put this image under your pillow and see what you come up with?

You still amaze me with your determination and huge heart, you are an inspiration! 

Hope you are well

New Suspect in Madeline McCann’s Case: Is This Madeleine’s Abducter?

A promising new photo fit of the man suspected of kidnapping Madeleine McCann has been handed to the police. The artist’s impression shows a man of North African appearance, this particular man was seen by several witness in Praia da Luz in the days before the 4 year-old disappeared from her bed.

The man is said to look similar to a man who was seen by a friend of the McCann’s carrying Madeleine away from the Ocean Club resort shortly before she was reported missing.

This is a major development in the Madeleine McCann story.

The suspect is aged 38 to 45, with sallow skin, dark hair, droopy Mexican-style moustache, large teeth and speaks in broken English. The man has been seen by several British tourists

The sketch has been handed in to both the Portuguese and British police. It has also been given to Interpol by a firm of private detectives hired by Madeleine’s family.

The McCann’s spokesman, Clarence Mitchell, has said,

“Who is he? Where is he? What, if any, is his connection to Madeleine’s disappearance? If he is innocent we want him to come forward for his own sake so he can be ruled out. We believe this man could be linked to Madeleine’s disappearance.”

The sketch was based on the description given by Gail Cooper, 50, who was on holiday in Praia da Luz at the time of Madeleine’s disappearance. Mrs Cooper said she first saw the man on the beach on April 20. She then saw him later on in the day when he called on the holiday villa where she was staying with her husband.

She said,

“He must have seen my husband leaving because the bell rang only seconds later. He flashed what he said was an identity card but it could have been anything really. He said he was collecting for an orphanage in nearby Espiche that was caring for three children whose parents had recently been killed in an accident on the main coast road.

The man was rambling and becoming agitated. He really unnerved me even though my two grown-up daughters and two grandchildren were with me.”

Her description matches the one given by Jane Tanner, one of the friends staying with Kate and Gerry McCann.

Although the police have had this information for a while, Mitchell isn’t going to criticise,

“We’re not going to criticise the police in any form - they have got a difficult enough job. It seems drawings of this sort are not done as a matter of course in Portugal.”

The new plan for the investigation seems to show that the McCann’s are feeling closer to finding their little girl. First will come a worldwide search for the man, which will be co-ordinated by a central telephone number manned by their private detective agency. This information will be passed on to the Portuguese police.

Then the police records and witness statements will be reviewed. The third step in the plan would be for complete collaboration between the Portuguese police, Interpol and the authorities in Spain, Morocco and Britain.

Hi, I think they want Goncalo back for one reason, and it's not to help search for Madeleine...I actually think he was dismissed for show in the first place.

Brian,

According to this article, it was known already back in june that the
building you were drawing (Estrela da luz) was just the place the media was
staying.

God I wish you or someone told med that sooner, it took me so much time to

This is the pic I was talking about same teeth kinda  Michelle...PS if the pic doesn't show up its on page 5 of

case 347 

Police in Belgium are investigating a possible sighting of the missing British youngster Madeleine McCann.

So could be the same person, assuming he cut his hair after the abduction?

Will do Nelly

Dear Brian,

I thought I might help some of your readers understand the frequently 
asked question "Why don't the McCanns seek psychic help to find 
Madeleine?".  This is not intended to offend any of your readers or 
the many contributors to your sight.  Nor am I speaking on behalf of 
the McCanns but merely interpreting their behaviour based on my 
knowledge of their faith.  The McCanns have faith in what they have 
come to know as The one true God of creation who came to earth as man 
to set us free - otherwise known as Jesus Christ. They have 
established a relationship based on his teachings in the bible and 
have developed what Christians know as a natural fear of God.  God 
clearly says in the Bible that his people are not to seek help from 
psychics or mediums but rather look to him as the greatest force on 
earth for answers to all things regarding mankind.  So you see, it is 
not that the McCanns do not believe, but that they do believe in 
forces and are reluctant to disobey the greatest force of all in whom 
they have placed their faith.  The other requests which God makes of 
his people are that they should be completely honest and abide by the 
law of the land.  I believe this is to protect his people from 
persecution.

I have had a similar dilemma myself about visiting your sight but upon 
further reading believe that as you categorically state that you are 
not a psychic or medium but merely the relator of dreams, that there 
is something of great importance to be had from your visions.  The 
bible has many stories of non believers who have had clear dreams that 
require interpreting (Joseph and the Technicolor dreamcoat being the 
most famous).  The only problem is that if these dreams are indeed 
from God then it requires one of his own to clearly interpret them.  
The dreams of the bible are often cryptic and unclear to the owner so 
that God can ensure that his chosen interpreter gives an accurate 
reading of the dreams meaning.

I hope that this has helped in some way to answer this very baffling 
question to those who are not practicing Christians.

My warmest wishes to you and your family Brian,


Claire

Yes, I do not believe I'm a psychic, nor do not consider myself a Christian, but I was brought up and baptized as one.

I have read both old and new testaments (well listened to on audio tapes) and I feel people need to make their own decisions about faith.

I do believe we are all in some way connected to each other, and no sane person of God would would wish suffering upon any person.

We all dream, and I think we are all able to learn and connect to others in our dreams.

Brian

Ok, I think it might be a good idea if we relook into the theory that Madeleine was at this cafe in Tongeren, and that the man she was with was the man in this sketch.

The DNA on the straw could have been contaminated...can we find out who else was there at the time, and where he might have taken her?

I believe this is an image of the town...and I'm not even sure where to begin.

I have found too (from Google) information that there is new abusers in Casa Pia. Casa Pia II. It is quite shocking.

I think this is very important article about Casa Pia II:

http://www.tinyurl.com/33ocpg

Here short quote:

" * There is still abuse the children from the Casa Pia employees and networks of paedophiles and has been open a new investigation.
* The amendment of the Penal Code and the Code of Criminal Procedure has been motivated by the process Casa Pia.
* Catalina Pestana initially believed in the innocence of Paulo Pedroso, but changed its mind.

The interview is cut when starts to get interesting.

"I have no doubt that there are still internal abusers in the Casa Pia. And I have strong suspicions that external networks continue to use kids of Casa Pia for sexual abuse. On May 10 (I went out to 11), the last thing I did was write to the Attorney-General of the Republic and tell you in detail the suspicions I have. I know he has opened an investigation, because I was heard. "- Begins the last published response, which follows the wish that the prosecutor" do not let this investigation remain at the bottom of a drawer. `A 'continues in the next edition 'creates expectation about what comes next."

Here is same information, important article too, everyone should read it.

http://portugalresident.com/portugalresident/showstory.asp?ID=22176

Short quote:

Updated: 18 October 2007

The latest moves in both the McCann case and the Casa Pia investigation also come days after explosive ‘tell-all’ revelations in the weekend broadsheet newspaper Sol by retired Casa Pia director Catalina Pestana, in which she claimed sexual abuses of minors within the state-run establishment for orphans and children at risk were “still going on”.

In the first of a sensational two-part series of interviews, Catalina Pestana, who retired from her position as now defunct Governess or Prefect, Provedor, of Casa Pia in May, was quoted as saying: “I have no doubts that (sexual) abuses are still going on within Casa Pia in Lisbon.”

And here is still more information:

http://portugueselostchildren.blogspot.com/

This blogger lives in Portugal and in Portugal has been (since Madeleine vanished) enormous and very aggressive hate campaign against Madeleine parents (reminds Nazi-propaganda in German). So you can see it in her/his attitudes sometimes.

But this blog is important, because it is for all missing children and it shows what happens in Portugal (and she/he is able to see it and she/he is able to call Portuguese politicians into question).

This was somewhere in his/her older posts:

"New abuses in the Casa Pia:

A sculptors house in Lisbon, where known artists and other figures use to be, is to be investigated by the Public prosecution service in the scope of the new case of sexual abuses involving the Casa Pia.

A 14 years old boy, received in the Filipe Cruz House, already gave declaration in the inquiry, that is lead by the solicitor João Guerra (magistrate that investigated the 2002 cases). The young accuses an educator, Pablo R., which will serve of intermediary, leading the pupils to related sculptor house. This case it is very recent and did not consist of the denunciation made in May by Catalina Pestana.

The Jose's acusations (fictitious name) are corroborated by other young ones inquired by newspaper "Sol" and that they told suffered abuses. The witnesses still make reference to reference the 2002 case: Manuel, of 16 years, relates to have been led by Carlos Silvino(now on trial for pedophililia) to a house in Lisbon - and is said can testify to the authorities. The educator Pablo R. - with who the "Sol" tried to speak, without success - he was suspended in the monday. The direction of Casa Pia(from whom depends Filipe Cruz House) also restored a labor dispute on grounds of discipline to an educator for breaking of the rules of monitoring in the institution.

SEEMS TO ME THAT THE CASA PIA HIGH LEVELS HAD TO BURN A MINOR CASE TO SAVE THE HIGHEST PERSONS INVOLVED IN OTHER PEDOPHILIA RINGS."

I could say:

1:That all is being done to innocent the bad boys and guilty the innocent.
2:The Casa Pia affair not stoped yet - another scandall with Cruz Filipe House (depending from Casa Pia).
3:That a new (taylor law) made to Casa Pia affair,will free the guilty
I JUST HAVE ONE THING TO SAY
I AM ASHAMED TO BE A PORTUGUESE CITIZEN"

Thanks Maria, and please think that way, this happens all over the world everyday...it's just not reported.

I have found more information about portuguese missing children (missing in 2006)

http://tinyurl.com/2zbwjh

Children missing: line opened 31 processes 2007/05/08 | 17:27

The line SOS Children Desaparecida, of the Institute of the Child Support (IAC), opened in 2006 thirty-one new cases involving minors missing was located 24, the news agency Lusa.

The figures, revealed by the institute, show that in two cases the children were already found without life, seven in whereabouts remains unknown despite the joint endeavours of the IAC, Judicial Police and other police forces.

Most of the disappearances reported, according to data from the IAC, relate to the leak of children (61 percent), especially at home but also to institutions where they are hosted.

However, six cases fall within the concept of abduction by third and four in the parental abduction. From the statistical analysis of the series of 2006, the IAC states that the situation came to its attention by section (3 cases), via E-mail (12 cases) and, in particular, the line 1410 (16 cases).

Of the situations reported, 19 were girls and 12 were boys.

More than half of children (55 percent) as missing data had between 11 and 15 years of age (17 cases) and between 16 and 18 years (7 cases). In 2006, five cases were also reported concerning children between one and five years.

In most cases (54 percent) minors resided in the district of Lisbon (16 cases), and that four disappeared in Porto, three in Faro, two in Setúbal and one in Viseu.

According to data from the IAC were also reported four cases of missing children abroad, particularly in Brazil.

The Institute for the Child Support, Portuguese only organisation that integrates the European Federation for Missing and Exploited Children Sexually, it has to work since May 2004 a green line (1410) designed exclusively for the withdrawal of disappearances.

From 2004 until the end of 2005 were reported to the IAC a total of 48 cases of disappearances in 2006 and the line opened 31 new cases.

These new cases were initiated in view of the five concepts adopted in 2001 by the Council of Ministers of Justice and Home Affairs of the European Union in its resolution on the contribution of civil society to the search of missing children and sexually exploited.

***** Here you can find same information too:

http://portugalresident.com/portugalresident/showstory.asp?ID=19001

Alexandra Simões, co-ordinator of the SOS missing child phone line for Instituto de Apoio à Criança, told The Resident that last year the institution opened 31 new cases relating to missing children. Of these 31 cases, five were of children under the age of six and 17 related to children between the ages of 11 and 15, with 54 per cent of children going missing from the Lisbon area along.

Unfortunately, only 24 of the 31 missing children have so far been found and two of those were found already dead. Sadly, reported cases of missing children have increased since the SOS phone line was created in 1988.

***** So it means 7 portuguese children missing in 2006 are obviously still missing because this IAC report was given in May/2007. But I'm not able to find any information of them and who they are?

***** These kind of missings reminds me of about what happened in Portugal before Casa Pia-scandal came out.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/international/story/0,3604,848412,00.html

"Investigators from the Swiss-based Innocence in Danger group, which claims children regularly disappear from the poorer streets of Portuguese towns and cities, say they too have been harassed and threatened."

Suspect: Gail Cooper says she saw the man hanging around the complex three times before Madeleine was taken

Hi (again:) )

I cant find anything on a new missing child on gran canaria, only this:
Sara Morales, who disappeared from Las Palmas de Gran Canaria at the age of 14 in summer last year, and Yeremi Vargas, who went missing from Vecindario at the age of seven in March this year. http://www.typicallyspanish.com/news/publish/article_12834.shtml

And regarding ROBIN from the ocean club, that was very correct but.. his last name is Crossland... Found this statement:
"But Robin Crossland, the administrator of the resort said he had been present when the McCanns were first interviewed by police soon after Maddy vanished. "They clearly said that they had left the French windows unlocked as they were using them to access the apartment to check on the children throughout their meal," he said"

And thanks this was great that someone picked up the request, please continue gathering names connected to
1) Ocean club
2) the PJ

...and whatever else that can be interesting to gather. We need to get organized. This case is HUGE and we cant be efficient in this ... mess.. (sorry). Brian, it would be absolutely wonderful if you could organize the pages a bit. For example make one resource page where we can gather names. Another one for pictures or something else whatever helps and makes it easier.
By the way it is a bit confusing with the DDs and RVs they don't all seem to have numbers, they don't all have your "translations" written under them and some are not completely copied (missing edges...) Would be great if this could be handled, don't hesitate to ask us all for help, just send out the tasks, you know we are all listening! (reading..)
I’m still working on the schedule too, but time is running out, soon I have to go back to work and can’t spend all these ours every day... so whoever has time to help is great.

hello Brian,
I was just browsing for information of Corlett Line boats and came across this website..
as you can see there's 2 pictures...same place.1st picture has a blue flag with a familiar cross on it....strangely the second one doesn't....if you zoom up to the blue flag though there are 2 horseshoes on it?>?
does anyone know what it says on the flag or where it comes from?
also picture of man outside Corlett line office?
http://es.geocities.com/internacionalwebdx/246ATDXFotos.htm
 
 
After all this, I am certainly more aware of this huge problem we have globally. I would hope that in the light of all this information coming out i.e. paedophile networks and the like.....people/parents will take a stand in their countries and demand answers and more adequate punishments. The fact that some countries like portugal and spain do not liketo discllose any information in regards to missing people is absoloutely ludicrous...How would people be able to search if they didnt even know these kids were missing in the first place.
 
Kind Regards
 
 Be well

Thanks, will post this.

Brian

Thanks, oh and by the way if you are right about that the PJ have not found the doors we will find by looking at pictures, we might as well have better pictures : )
So here are two more of Murats garden of which one is quite clear, less bushes.

Brian, do you think MM can be under Estrela da Luz? You drew an exact copy of the place once, it even had the flag on the side and the building you drew matches the exact one facing the tennis courts too. (Not the ocean beach club but next to estrela da luz).
Hotel Address: Rua Da Escola Primaria, Lagos, Portugal 8600-152
It’s so strange cause this hotel has a similar address to a school in lagos that I found at “Apartado 272” Rua Das Escolas Primarias, an international school but it turned out Lagos isn’t always the same as Luz Lgs... it’s hard to keep track of the different names used. The school is in the town Lagos, but there is still a road with that name in Praia da luz, and there is Estrela da Luz and anyone can rent an apartment there.
I also wonder if this was the place Sergey was staying? You drew the laptop and other things I recall.
It is so near so I should be possible this is the location you are feeling? Someone also found a picture of the room that you drew, from Estrela da luz.
There must certainly be some connection to this place cause none of your DDs are such an exact match as the ones matching Estrela da Luz, but what do you think is the connection?

Hi again, sorry it's taking me so long to answer your emails...I still think, and dream seems to confirm ir again, Madeleine is still in PDL...I realize that it seems impossible, but that's all I ever see.

Brian

If there is some sort of underground tunnel, passageway or whatever that's not been looked at, this is what I could be seeing.

found this post:

“i dont now if any of u remember it was said that maddies dna was found in another apartment in the ocr! well i believe this was the apartment of this family gorrods
Gorrod rented a blue Opel Corsa in Portugal five days before Madeleine McCann went missing. He returned the car on May 6. Staff at the rental centre were shocked to see that the car was fitted with a child seat. They believed Gorrod was travelling alone.
gorrod said that he had spoke to police and they have no plans on interveiwing him!!
Mr Gorrod has “close links” with friends who were on holiday with Kate and Gerry McCann
The Gorrods live in Exeter, Devon, close to Dr Russell O’Brien and Jane Tanner, witnesses in the investigation who have pointed the finger at Robert Murat. The Gorrods are believed to have been staying in the same resort as their friends and the McCanns
also Robert Murat was in Exeter 10 days before Madeleine vanished.
this may just be coincedence but it dos seem odd!!
any thoughts on this? “

and this:

As we all know, the PJ announced that the Tapas 9 definitely know Robert Murat. I haven't been able to unearth much on these individuals but James Garrod of Exeter who specializes in real property law is a good friend of Russell O'Brien's and he is registered at The Ocean Club during the stay of the 9. Murat deals in real property. Des Taylor of Exeter is an architect who contributed to the Murat villa in PDL. He knows Js. Garrod. It would be very easy for an investigator in Exeter to quiz the associates or staffs of these individuals to learn if there was acquaintance. Maybe that is what they did. Js. Garrod had a car at his disposal but I haven't been able to find out anything about it.

I believe that part of the evidence that the PJ is keeping secret is the connection between Murat and Gerry, not sure about the rest of them...anyway, posted.

Hi Brian,
You usually say you like to hear about dreams and thoughts of a missing persons relatives and have requested this also in the Madeleine case. I found something about what Gerry has been seeing, actually there is a whole lot of interesting information on this page, even though some of it is a bit “extreme” (maybe too much science fiction : )

Hi Brian,

This might be kind of off topic... but just thought of something
Reading about the awful websites bubbles.... that you linked to from the Denise Pepitone case I did a search for the site at Google and even thought they say themselves that it is totally legal and totally not nude... (just to say such a thing says everything doesn’t it...), the search for this site gives a lot of “sexual” hits. It seems “bubbles “ may be some kind of code word for this kind of disgusting interest..
And when I thought of that I just realized something strange.
