Wince said...: Mystery blonde girl found living with gypsies gives boost to Madeleine McCann's parents

The parents of Madeleine McCann were given ‘great hope’ tonight after a mystery blonde girl allegedly snatched from her family was found living with gypsies...

The girl, known only as ‘Maria’, was found on Wednesday near Farsala in central Greece during a nationwide crackdown on illegal activities by Roma, also known as Gypsies.

The case bears similarities to theories about the disappearance of Madeleine who vanished aged three on a family holiday in Portugal on May 3, 2007.

It raises the possibility that Madeleine could still be alive six years after she disappeared.

Speaking to The Mirror, a spokesman for the McCanns said: “This gives Kate and Gerry great hope that Madeleine could be found alive.”

Dad Gerry said this week that statistics showed the younger a child is when abducted, the more likely they are to be found.

He said after Monday’s BBC Crimewatch: “There are cases over the last few years of children who have been found after they’ve been taken for a long time. I think that’s what the public needs to think about tonight.”

Scotland Yard said new evidence adds further weight to claims the three-year-old was snatched in a pre-planned abduction from her holiday apartment.; 10/19/13, 12:56 PM
gadfly said...: From the Greek Streets:
Riot police squads that arrived from Athens have been conducting operations against the Roma population across the Peloponnese for the past few days. On Monday, the riot police flattened Roma camps in the Corinth prefecture, before moving to Messinia (and its capital, Kalamata) on Tuesday and then operating further in the prefectures of Argolida and Arkadia on Wednesday.

Astonishingly, the official police report on the operations talks of the “tackling” and the “prevention” of crime as the reasons why the Roma houses came under attack – an open and direct racist attack against them. On Tuesday alone, 623 Roma were detained of which 84 were arrested, while 14 homes in total were flattened. The numbers for the other days remain unknown.

These attacks by the Greek police against Roma gypsies would be considered racist in the civilized world - so does this mean that the "Cradle of Civilization" has now regressed to savagery?

Charging the couple that housed and fed the blond little girl, as part of a child trafficking ring, is a far stretch without evidence to back up the accusation.; 10/19/13, 5:03 PM

Apaches stole babies to add to their tribe. Tribes do that.; 10/19/13, 6:05 PM

Greece isn't any different.; 10/19/13, 7:26 PM
Greenley said...: Gypsies are notorious for kidnapping blonde or any fair skinned children. I grew up in Eastern Europe in the 1950s and 60s as a blonde blue eyed child. Every day the newspapers were full of reports about children kidnapped by gypsies. This is a fact, not a myth. Gypsies are outlaws, bandits, thieves, criminals and should be treated as such.; 10/20/13, 6:42 PM
