Shocking new allegations in the Madeleine McCann case emerge today as Kate McCann is reportedly accused of hiding her daughter’s body in a refrigerator after accidentally killing her with an overdose of a sedative.
As the 150th day anniversary of Madeleine’s appearance approaches, reports emerge that police have thrown new accusations at Kate. Police named Kate and Gerry McCann official suspects in Madeleine’s disappearance after they found the 4-year-olds DNA in a car the couple rented 25 days after their daughter disappearance.
They have also maintained the theory that Kate accidentally killed Madeleine with an overdose of a sedative and Gerry helped cover up the crime. According to a newspaper police believe Madeleine’s body was hidden in the refrigerator and then “passed through various locations.”
Detectives now want to investigate refrigerators at the complex the McCann’s were staying at.
Kate and Gerry called for an end to the ‘hurtful smear campaign’ that they accidentally murdered Madeleine. “We do not know who is putting all this out in Portugal but for the families sake it’s time for it to stop,” said the McCann’s spokesman Clarence Mitchell.

Gag Bars McCann's From Answering New Madeleine Body Dumping Claim

•Portuguese papers claim Kate McCann killed Madeleine while Gerry played tennis
•Couple ‘then hid the child’s body in a fridge and later disposed of it in Spain’
•McCann spokesman Clarence Mitchell said the reports were ‘utterly ludicrous’
Police in Portugal believe Kate McCann killed her daughter Madeleine in a 90-minute “gap” while her husband played tennis, it has been claimed.
Detectives think the child’s body was stored in a fridge and moved to “various locations” around the family’s holiday resort of Praia da Luz before it was placed in the boot of her parents’ hire car and dumped, sources told a Portuguese newspaper.
Kate and Gerry McCann while in Spain this August. The Portuguese media claims they dumped Madeleine’s body while there
The latest lurid allegations were dismissed as “ludicrous” by the McCann’s spokesman Clarence Mitchell, who said they caused “real pain and hurt” to the four-year-old’s parents.
After months of rumours from inside the police investigation, Mr Mitchell said: “It’s just utterly ridiculous allegation after allegation. Surely it is time for this to stop. It’s ludicrous.”
Madeleine’s parents are unable to answer the claims, however, because they are under threat of a 12-month jail sentence if they speak publicly about their daughter, it has been claimed.
Friends said the couple have had to turn down scores of interview requests from around the world, including one from legendary U.S. broadcaster Barbara Walters, since they were made official suspects on September 7.
Under Portuguese laws, they could face criminal charges or even a prison sentence if they speak out.
Madeleine is still missing
Yesterday the Portuguese paper Diario de Noticias said detectives think Madeleine died between 7pm and 8.30pm on May 3.
David Payne, a friend of Kate and Gerry McCann, said he saw Mrs McCann put their three children to bed at about 7pm, and the couple joined friends for dinner at about 8.30pm.
A police source told the paper that Mr McCann was seen playing tennis during the 90-minute “gap” before Mrs McCann was seen again, meaning she was alone with Madeleine and two-year-old twins Sean and Amelie.
But friends insisted the couple had both played tennis, then put the children to bed together before joining their friends for dinner.
A gag order is preventing Kate McCann from talking to journalists like Barbara Walters
Police are convinced that Madeleine died by accident at the hands of her mother, and that Mr McCann helped to cover up the death.
The source said they believed the child’s body “passed through various-locations” before it was put in the boot of the Renault Scenic hired three weeks after Madeleine vanished.
Police are “carrying out non-visible operations and locating apartments with fridges”, the source said.
A family friend ridiculed the suggestion that Madeleine’s body could have been stored in a fridge, saying: “Have you seen the size of the fridges in those apartments? Of course they did not stuff her in a fridge.”
Any search of the Ocean Club complex in Praia da Luz would be certain to include the apartments where the family’s friends stayed during the holiday.
Police are desperate to break a perceived “pact of silence” between the friends, and have made a series of slurs against them and the McCanns in a bid to panic them into speaking out.
On Wednesday police sources briefed Portuguese journalists that their counterparts in Spain were investigating a “suspicious” trip to Huelva by the McCanns – a claim which was denied outright as “totally false” by Spanish authorities yesterday.
The denial adds weight to the McCanns’ belief that they are victims of a smear campaign fuelled by the Portuguese police.
The McCanns, both 39, are preparing for another painful milestone tomorrow, which will be the 150th day since Madeleine disappeared.
But the couple secured a victory yesterday when Portugal said it would push for the creation of an EU-wide alert system for missing children.

‘Maddie’s body was kept in fridge’
Original Source|The Sun: Saturday 29 September 2007
From Clodagh Hartley
in Praia da Luz
PORTUGUESE cops came up with their sickest slur yet against the McCanns yesterday – claiming little Maddie’s body may have been kept in a FRIDGE before being dumped.
They are working on the extraordinary theory that Kate killed her daughter accidentally and that dad Gerry helped her cover up.
And they make the bizarre claim that Maddie’s body was somehow stored in a fridge in one of the apartments at the holiday complex where she went missing in May.
Detectives believe they moved the four-year-old’s body between apartments in the Portuguese holiday resort of Praia da Luz.
They are said to be focusing on a “mysterious and fatal period” of 90 minutes when they claim Kate was alone in the apartment with her children while Gerry played tennis.
Detectives are convinced Maddie was killed “before dinner” and that her body was “passed through various locations” before going into the boot of the couple’s hired car.
Police sources revealed: “They are locating apartments with fridges.”
The McCanns’ spokesman Clarence Mitchell last night dismissed the latest slurs as “utterly ridiculous” and begged for an end to the smear campaign.
He said: “Each and every one of these nonsensical allegations causes real pain and hurt for both Gerry and Kate. It makes a most awful situation far, far worse.”
Since naming them as official suspects, Portuguese police have leaked several allegations against Kate and Gerry, both 39-year-old doctors from Rothley, Leics.
They claimed they could have disposed of Maddie’s body on a “suspicious” trip to Spain on August 3. And they say Spanish police were also examining CCTV footage of the day trip to the city of Huelva just over the border.
But yesterday Spain’s civil guard denied any involvement, adding weight to the McCanns’ insistence that they are being smeared by unnamed police sources.
Spokesman Antonio Castilla said: “We are not investigating the McCann parents in any way, shape or form. The reports are false.”
Yesterday, daily newspaper Dia-rio de Noticias said detectives were pinpointing apartments in the area of Praia da Luz.
A source told them: “Police believe the death happened before dinner in the period between 19.00 and 20.30. During this time, Madeleine’s father was seen playing tennis at the complex, therefore the child and her twin siblings were in the charge of the mother.
“There are no registers nor witnesses who had seen Kate and Madeleine in that fatal and mysterious hour and a half.” The couple have always maintained they went to dinner after the children were put to bed in their apartment at the Ocean Club.
A family friend yesterday said of the period between 7pm and 8.30pm: “Kate was not in the apartment alone with Maddie. They had both been playing tennis earlier. Then they put her to bed and were then down for dinner by 8.20pm.”
And referring to the lurid fridge allegation, the friend insisted: “That is total rubbish. Have you seen the size of the fridges in those apartments? Of course they did not stuff her in a fridge.” Meanwhile, it emerged yesterday that Kate and Gerry had been threatened with a year’s jail if they break Portuguese secrecy laws by speaking out about Maddie.
They fear this could mean no more TV appeals for information.

McCanns' agony at 'body in fridge' slur Parents dismiss new police claim in Maddy mystery as 'hurtful'
Original Source| Independent IE Saturday 29-09-07
Saturday September 29 2007
THE parents of Madeleine McCann have called for an end to the "hurtful" smear campaign after sensational new claims that her mother hid her corpse in a fridge after accidentally killing her.
Tomorrow is the 150th day since Madeleine disappeared. Kate and Gerry McCann will attend a church service near their home in Rothley, Leceistershire, but there will be no special event to generate publicity.
It was claimed yesterday that police in Portugal now believe that Kate McCann killed Madeleine while putting her to bed at their holiday apartment in Praia da Luz between 7pm and 8.30pm on May 3 and then hid her corpse in a fridge, with the help of friends.
The respected Diario de Noticias newspaper said officers believed that she accidentally killed Madeleine while her husband was playing tennis.
Her body then "passed through various locations" before going into the boot of the car hired by her parents 25 days after she disappeared, it reported.
As a result, detectives want to inspect fridges at the Ocean Club complex where the McCanns were staying with a group of seven British adults.
A source close to the McCanns said: "That is total rubbish. Have you seen the size of the fridges in those apartments? Of course they did not stuff her in a fridge. Kate was not in the apartment alone with Maddy.
"They had both been playing tennis, then they put her to bed together and were then down for dinner (with their friends) by 8.20pm."
The report is the latest of a series of allegations in the Portuguese media credited to anonymous detectives from the Policia Judiciaria. There are concerns that the McCanns have become victims of "black propaganda" being put out by police to explain why they were made official suspects.
Clarence Mitchell, the McCanns' spokesman, said: "We do not know who is putting all this out in Portugal but for the family's sake it's time for it to stop. Every one of these nonsensical allegations causes real pain and hurt for both Gerry and Kate, who cannot help but be aware of them. It makes a most awful situation far, far worse, because they know it's not true.
"I am very grateful for the media support; it is immeasurable in terms of what has been done to help find Madeleine, but these reports are increasing the pain for Kate and Gerry.
"We just hope that everyone can see these ridiculous rumours for what they are. It is very hard on the couple because they are not allowed to talk about the investigation and cannot defend themselves."
Mr Mitchell said that the McCanns would attend church tomorrow. "It will be just another day without Madeleine," he said.
Ordeal
It was reported yesterday that the couple, both 39, may speak out about their ordeal in a television show with a celebrity interviewer.
The McCanns have previously turned down requests for interviews with Oprah Winfrey and Larry King but they are said to be considering a request from the veteran American broadcaster Barbara Walters for an interview to coincide with the launch of an stg£80,000 (€114,000) advertising campaign for the search for their daughter.
The couple are said to be furious that they cannot speak out because of Portuguese judicial secrecy laws. The law, however, prohibits them only from discussing evidence in the case.
The McCanns had used their campaign to find Madeleine as an opportunity to raise awareness about other missing children and to call for better alert systems.
It was announced yesterday that Portugal is to call for an EU-wide alert system for missing children. Portugal, which holds the rotating EU presidency, will ask member states at a meeting in Lisbon this week if they want to expand to all 27 countries a new French alert system involving a nationwide media campaign and messages in stations and on motorways.
Meanwhile, Gerry McCann yesterday threw his backing behind the move to create the Europe-wide alert system for missing children.
Portugal is reportedly pushing for such a system to be set up at a key meeting of European home affairs ministers next week.
Madeleine went missing from her parents' rented holiday flat on the Algarve on May 3.
Portuguese police faced criticism over the speed of their response to the disappearance including questions over how quickly it sealed borders and alerted ports and airports.
Images of Madeleine were circulated through the media by friends and family in the hours after Madeleine's disappearance.
Now Portugal is said to be backing the extension of a French alert system, which includes electronic roadside messages, across the EU's 27 countries.
In the UK, a similar county-wide scheme, including automatic media alerts, was pioneered in Surrey after the disappearance of local schoolgirl Milly Dowler.
Gerry McCann said: "If this is true, we would very much welcome it as a major step in the right direction.
"Kate and I have consistently campaigned to effect such changes throughout the European Union to help protect children everywhere.''
Mr McCann travelled to Washington DC earlier this year to meet the then US Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez to discuss measures in place there.
There, news of a missing child in Arkansas could be notified to police in California in less than two hours.
The McCanns' spokesman, Clarence Mitchell, said: "From his own experience during his recent trip to America, Gerry felt that the US is some distance ahead of Europe.
"Clearly a widening of effective systems to raise immediate awareness of missing children across the EU is exactly the sort of long-term change Gerry and Kate are working so hard to achieve.''

BRITISH SENSATIONAL JOURNALISM at its best.
THE SUN reported on October 21st, 2008.
KATE McCann and three friends discussed child-snatchers hours before daughter Madeleine disappeared, it has emerged. Dr Russell O'Brien, one of the so-called Tapas Seven, told police of the "haunting" conversation had while on holiday in Portugal last year.
He said it came up after another father said he felt awkward photographing his own child. Dr O'Brien, 37, was with his partner Jane Tanner, 37, Rachel Oldfield, 37, and Kate, 40.
He said: "We then had a conversation about the ludicrous pressure on parents that they can't take photos of their children. Stranger "The other aspect of the conversation, which is doubly haunting, was that we said, 'You're far more likely to get clobbered by your uncle or your neighbour than some random stranger'. "Since this happened ten or 11 hours before Madeleine was abducted, it seemed a very uncomfortable coincidence."
The doctor, of Exeter, Devon, made his comments in April as he was quizzed by British cops at the request of the Portuguese authorities.
THE DAILY MAIL reported September, 26th, 2007
SNIFFER DOGS ‘ FOUND SCENT OF DEATH’ ON MCCANNS FRIEND
Friends of the McCanns faced fresh allegations yesterday after it was claimed that sniffer dogs had found the "scent of death" on one of them.
The same police dog which reacted to Mrs McCann's clothes - first causing suspicion to fall on her - was alleged to have smelled "death" on one of the friends who had dinner with the couple the night Madeleine vanished.
Police sources briefed a Portuguese newspaper that two police dogs from South Yorkshire, trained to detect corpses, human remains and microscopic traces of blood, had reacted to some items of clothing.
Family spokesman Clarence Mitchell denied categorically that any such procedure had happened. The newspaper did not reveal which of the friends' clothing was meant to have triggered the reaction.
Police in South Yorkshire refused to comment. Detectives are writing to British police asking them to re-interview the seven friends the McCanns dined with on the night Madeleine vanished.
Madeleine's parents were dining in a tapas restaurant just yards from the apartment in the Mark Warner Resort in the Algarve, Portugal, when their daughter disappeared. She had been sleeping inside the apartment with her brother and sister, twins Sean and Amelie.
According to reports from Portugal, all of those dining with the McCanns that night face further police questioning because their accounts of the night's events allegedly clashed.
Leicestershire police have consistently refused to comment on its role in the investigation and directed all questions to Portugal. A spokeswoman said: "As the inquiry into the disappearance of Madeleine McCann is a Portuguese police investigation it is not appropriate for us to comment on it. Our role is to assist the Portuguese authorities, when and if they request it, with UK based inquiries. "But because it is a Portuguese investigation, and because of the judicial system there, we are not able to disclose the nature of those inquires."
The seven friends - who, with the McCanns, make up the Tapas Nine - have been steadfast in their loyalty to Madeleine's family. The group - most of them doctors and professionals - was made up of:
Dr Russell O'Brien, 36
A consultant in acute medicine at the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital, he knew Gerry McCann from Leicester. He was on holiday with his partner Jane Tanner and their two young daughters. At 9.25pm he left the restaurant for around 25 minutes to check on one of the girls, who was ill. He has been subject to a vicious Portuguese press campaign alleging he was absent for over an hour when Madeleine went missing. He has threatened to sue, insisting: "These reports are completely untrue and extremely hurtful."
Jane Tanner, 37
Dr O'Brien's partner. She arrived late at the tapas bar after treating their sick daughter. On the way, she passed the McCanns' apartment and saw a man carrying a child. Crucially, her description of the child's clothes matched Madeleine's pink pyjamas.
Dr Matthew Oldfield, 37
Dr Oldfield, an endocrinologist at Kingston Hospital in South-West London, went to check the McCann children at 9 25pm. But he did not look inside the flat - simply listened from outside to ensure Madeleine and the twins were not crying.
Rachael Oldfield, 36
Dr Oldfield's wife, a former lawyer who is now a recruitment consultant. She is one of four witnesses who claim to have seen the first suspect, British expat Robert Murat, near the McCanns' flat. Last month she angrily dismissed reports that police had intercepted phone calls and emails between the McCanns and their friends which contradicted the group's earlier statements. Mrs Oldfield accused Portuguese police of "throwing mud when we are not able to defend oursleves"
David Payne, 41
Mr Payne is a senior research fellow in cardiovascular sciences at Leicester University He and his wife and mother-in-law joined the group at 8.55pm. They are believed to have been the only ones using a baby monitor to check on their two children. Mr Payne has said: "All these smears and rumours are overshadowing the important thing, which is to get Madeleine back."
Dr Fiona Payne, 34
Mr Payne's wife, she is understood to have told police she saw Mr Murat shortly after Madeleine vanished. Dr Payne and her husband stayed on in the Algarve to support the McCanns. When the couple were made official suspects, she said: "It's an outrage - a preposterous accusation."
Dianne Webster Dr Payne's mother.
She has given no public interviews.
(This newspaper article STILL available on the Internet and RUSSELL O’BRIAN, it would seem, has not sued anyone. The Daily Mail ,did not use the word ALLEGED ,which gets you out of a tight spot where the Mccanns lawyers Carter Ruck are concerned.)
---------------------------- AND now looking at some facts about the SHY Dr.Russell O’Brian and how kind the police were to him in Leicestershire and how unfortunate the video for his first interview seemed to have ‘Technical failure’.
Not only that, the kind Policeman let Russell read Jane Tanners,( his partners) statement to remind him of the events . THE EVENTS, who could forget the events of May 3rd 2007?
What kind of person would need to ‘REFRESH’ their memory of such a dreadful night? how could anyone forget the ‘disappearance’ of a child, NOT anychild, BUT their friends child, MADELEINE. (Is it within the law to allow a witness to check anothers statement ? OR ,was this to make sure they both agreed ? It seems Leicestershire Constabulary make up their own rules where these Doctors are concerned.)
RUSSELL O’BRIAN said. ------------------------ "I have been given the opportunity to refresh my memory at the start of the report by Jane Tanner (partner) and it allowed me to see these documents, which have been done in the presence of DC 1578 Gierc," said O 'Brien. (O'Brien was interviewed twice, on 8 and April 10, 2008, but strangely, his first interview could not be recorded on video because, according to British police, there would be a "technical failure") The second interview, Russell O'Brien by the officer Andrew Gierc, was recorded on video.
CURIOUS AND INTERESTING O’BRIANS partner JANE TANNER gave her witness statement to PJ May 4th, 2007 The time 11.30 am JANE was clear about the type of clothing she saw the ‘abductor’ wearing. He was wearing linen type cloth trousers, beige to golden in colour, a “duffy” sic type jacket (but not that thick).
KATE McCANN Did not give her statement until 2.20 pm the afternoon of May 4th. Kate and Jane would have had plenty of time to talk about the man she saw and what he was wearing...
LOOK what Kate McCann has to say. Thus, at around 9pm, her husband went to the apartment to make sure the twins, as well as Madeleine, were OK, then he went back to the restaurant. Her husband said that the children were doing well and that he had bumped into the person with whom he had played tennis, a person who has two children. At the same time, one of the group of friends, Russell, went to see his children, without checking on the interviewee's children. Later, a member of the group, Russell's partner Jane, when she went to her apartment to see her children at around 9.15pm, saw from the back [rear] about 50 metres away, on the perimeter road of the club, a long-haired person, in what she thinks were jeans, with a child in his arms and walking very quickly.
But she is better able to tell you about that herself. --------------------------- JEANS.....I am interested as to why Kate mentions JEANS when her friend has already stated the clothes were linen and the colour beige. KATE also mentions the ‘abductor’ had LONG hair.....again without being prompted, states JANE will be able to tell you about that herself, BUT Kate knew Tanner had already been interviewed.
JEANSs seem to have been on JANE TANNERS mind a lot...in her rogatory statement without being prompted she feels she must explain she did not take JEANS on holiday to PDL. Reply “Yeah. Erm, I’m just trying to, well I’ve walked out of the, walked out of the, erm, the Tap, you know, walked sort of into the reception of the Tapas Bar and obviously walked up the road. I remember I was wearing, because it was cold, I’d got Russell’s big, I’d borrowed one of his, erm, fleeces, so I’d got a big sort of fleece, it probably came down to about here, but then I’d got flip-flops on and cropped trousers, because I’d only got, I didn’t take jeans, I know I didn’t take jeans on holiday, and then. Oh I’m sidetracking a bit, but that’s why I knew one of the pictures in the paper wasn’t from the holiday, because I hadn’t got jeans on the holiday with me, so. Erm, yeah, and I’d got cropped trousers on and just flip-flops, so I can remember sort of walking, I couldn’t walk that quickly because I’d got these silly flip-flops on and I couldn’t walk that, that well in them, so to speak."
JEREMY WILKINS had already seen JANE TANNER earlier in the evening of May 3rd, standing outside an apartment, she was wearing a PURPLE dress.
TANNER talks of a photograph in the newspaper of her wearing JEANS.... If this photograph exists has anyone seen it.? If they have, it is IMPORTANT to JANE for you to know it was NOT taken in PDL. The ONLY photograph to my knowledge of TANNER, outside of PDL is of her on the COURT steps to collect her money..which she gave to the FUND.
Back to the ‘Sensational Journalism’ and the JEANS. The McCanns are desperate to get their hands on information PJ still have ..information ONLY known to them.
Their meeting and talks of REVIEWS have nothing to do with wanting the case re-opened, it has been three years and we all know this is something those in the’ know ‘will never let happen. BUT I have to wonder if the JEANS exist, are they in the hands of PJ and do they hold ‘The scent of cadaver?’
Why did Kate McCann say a long haired person wearing JEANS.?...TANNER has long hair BUT insists any photographs of her that MAY exist wearing JEANS were not from when she was in PDL. Is there a tourist out there somewhere with a photograph ot TANNER in the background wearing jeans in PDL?
An unknown tourist who does not realise the significance of this photograph. I have no idea why, but these JEANS are of great importance to JANE TANNER and from KATE MCCANNS suggestion of JEANS in her statement, again ,without being prompted, KATE knows the reason why.
UPDATE: ------- TANNER from her ROGATORY STATEMENT: "I remember what I was wearing because it was cold, I'd borrowed one of RUSSELLS'S FLEECES." "BUT I did not take JEANS with me to PDL:" ----------------------------------------- Jane offered this information about her clothing without being asked. Do you remember the bag found along the road leading to FARO airport and what it contained?
There are two items of interest and if I was a devious person there is a way I could use these items to buy someones silence. Suppose, just suppose, the BLUE BAG missing from the MCCANNS bedroom wardrobe in the apartment was used for a pair of JEANS and a FLEECE.
The owner of the bag promised to dispose of BOTH items BUT just suppose that promise was not fulfilled. If I were a devious person I may just keep them for future use. USE SUCH AS THIS. JUST A REMINDER AS TO WHO IS IN CHARGE....and in case anyone in the future thought of changing their statements.

Maddie DNA clue in airport bag Traces found on fleece and stained jeans
By Dominic Herbert, 03/11/2007
A BAG of clothes containing DNA linked to Madeleine McCann has been found dumped by a road in Portugal. The white carrier bag was discovered in a layby two weeks ago near Faro airport, the News of the World can reveal. Maddie's parents Kate and Gerry McCann have learned the bag contained a blue fleece jacket and a pair of adult jeans with traces of DNA that contained "moderate" links to the missing four-year-old. There was also a SHOWER CURTAIN inside.
News of the find came as it emerged police hunting for the youngster have asked the Mafia to help. Crime godfathers in Morocco-where there have been several alleged sightings of Maddie-have been told cops will scale back drug busts if they do.
Meanwhile, the bag, found by a passer-by, was sent to a UK lab in Birmingham for forensic tests. A leaked report showed experts concluded the clothes contained bodily fluid and traces of hair that could have come from Maddie. Skin Other items recovered from the bag included a white flannel, a green elastic band, a light green child's T-shirt with a green flower on the front and a pink and blue pencil case with a pink heart motif.
A source said: "The bag could be crucial. The DNA isn't an exact match to Maddie's, but it does link. "It is the first clue found outside the apartment complex and could provide a trail." The report-which was handed to detectives ten days ago-was obtained by the News of the World from Portuguese police sources.
The jeans contained more than 60 different stains. The report concluded: "The blue fleece and jeans were found to contain traces of congealed skin and hair. "They were found to contain DNA characteristics that could be attributed to Madeleine McCann." No traces of Maddie's DNA were found on any of the other items.
The fresh clues will give Kate and Gerry, both 39, renewed hope of finding their daughter alive six months after she disappeared. Last night a friend of the McCanns said: "It potentially suggests that someone has taken her then disposed of the clothing. "They have done it near Faro which could imply they have gone in the direction of the airport. It backs up the idea she was abducted."
Last Sunday the News of the World revealed that the crack Spanish detective agency hired by the McCanns, Metodo 3, are convinced the youngster was snatched to order then smuggled from Portugal to Morocco. Last night it looked like Mafia bosses will AGREE to use their underworld connections in the hunt for Maddie.
---------------- The DNA 'EVIDENCE' was reported November 3rd 2007 We then had this report dated November 11th 2007
DAILY MAIL REPORTED., NOVEMBER 11th 2007 Madeleine:
Changes in evidence from Tapas Nine could 'dramatically change investigation' 09 November 2007
Changes in the evidence of two of the so-called Tapas Nine could "dramatically change" the Madeleine McCann investigation, it was claimed yesterday.
The pair who allegedly want to correct their version of events were named yesterday in a Portuguese newspaper as Russell O'Brian and his partner Jane Tanner. Miss Tanner has given a key account of seeing a man carrying a child away from the McCanns' apartment.
Both her and Dr O'Brian deny that they have contacted police to change their statements........
