I was the Madeleine McCann of 1969!

I was the Madeleine Mccann of 1969... I got kidnapped in 1969 from a small village in Sussex called Stonegate. I was taken to Ireland and then to South Africa. I was the centre of a media circus when they found me.. and I know what it feels like - I therefore can empathise with Kate and Gerry about what they are going through...- even if I dont agree on How they reacted and responded to the disappearance of their child. I felt especially strongly about this case because it reminded me of myself , and whats more my daughter looks like Maddy... I believe NOW that its not important whether the McCanns are guilty or not... its important that we find out the truth ofwhat happened to MADDY. This is what we need to do now. Ive written a personal message to Kate McCann on another blog. She needs to read it and act upon it. I think the only criticism is really the response - ie HOW this case has been conducted that we need to look at. Its time now to really take sides... do you or I really believe the mccanns are guilty or not guilty?
I prefer to have faith in the possibility that they are NOT guilty of killing their child... because if they are :then they are the worst human being ever... and frankly I will leave England if they are. I believe they were put through the fire to test their innocence..why because the portuguese police have got nothing but conjecture, not evidence that can convict and ANY jury will find in favor of Kate and Gerry if it goes that far. However, if they have been conning us all. It means they are WORSE THAN NAZIS...!!!
In this case its an indictment on the whole English society. We need to rise above this notion and think... what next...what next...

Today I spoke to John Mccann regarding my proposals of yesterday. He said some very interesting things which now put things much clearer than they were before.

1. the madeleine mccann fund has 3 objectives. the first two objectives are about finding madeleine alive or dead. The third relates to the wider issues of abducted and missing children around the world.

I spoke to John about this issue and he mentioned they have a find maddy channel on youtube. HE DID NOT RULE OUT HOWEVER USING PRIVATE INVESTIGATORS WITH THE FUNDS FROM THE MADELEINE FUND. PORTUGUES LAW CANNOT TOUCH THEM ON THIS IF THEY EXERCIE THAT RIGHT IN THE REST OF EUROPE.

2. John mentioned that he would make an anouncement later this week

3. Regarding the LAW. Portuguese LAW forbids using private investigators or sharing evidence INFO collected by officers involved in the INVESTIGATION. ( iTS ACTUALLY HINDERED THE WHOLE INVESTIGATION - NOT HELPED IT-ACCORDING TO JOHN)

- HOWEVER, it doesnt forbid the Mccanns from HIRING INDEPENDENTprivate investigators to search the REST OF EUROPE for Maddy!

It seems that this is what they will be doing next.JOHN MENTIONED HE WOULD BE SEEKING TO BRING THIS IDEA FORWARD TO THE FUND MANAGERS.

Apparently its an ongoing investigation and thats why the McCanns who were bound by those secrecy laws have become enmeshed IN them. THIS WAS THERE BIGGEST MISTAKE.I feel their fundamental error is not that they may have ACTED somehow unnatural given the circumstances... I feel that they should have initiated this INTERNATIONAL INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATION within the first 2 weeks of the disappearance of Maddy. I ADVISED THEM AT THAT TIME TO DO SO... THE ADVICE WAS IGNORED.

Their only crime thusfar is their inaction to do so.i DO NOT BELIEVE THEY ARE GUILTY OF KILLING THEIR OWN CHILD AND HIDING THE FACT FROM THE WORLD.

They could not NEVER be charged for trying to find their little girl( they did only what they thought was best AND RIGHT in the circumstances.. unfortunately...they had bad advice)...

There would be nothing wrong AT THIS STAGE using the funds collected from people around the world to initiate this initiative to find the truth about what happened to Maddy.-at least as long as they had conducted the investigation OUT of Portugal.( it would not have been illegal - why because the fund is run from England).. and this would have been the RIGHT THING to do and would have shown people around the world that they were serious in their efforts to FIND OUT THE TRUTH!- By playing an acting detached and cool about it all; it only heightened the suspicions of the detractors who were watching the progress of the investigation.

4.John McCann will be meeting up with the fund directors on the 26th of September when he will put forward this NEW proposal. I have spoken to Sir Richard Branson as well as to the offices of Sir Phillip Green. Richard Branson called me back and we spoke for around 10 minutes about putting this team together to synergise the investigationindependently from the UK TO find the truth. He said it was a GOOD IDEA-I asked him point blank if he thought the parents were guilty ...and he said NO!- I THINK SO TOO!!

Even if the DNA SAID THEY WERE 99.99% GUILTY... THEY WOULD ONLY BE GUILTY WHEN THEY WERE PROVEN SO...UNTIL THEN THEY ARE INNOCENT...

The problem has always been in the police processes in Portugal according to John Mccann. These processes wasted valuable time AND MONEY and created false leads and MANY red herrings fueled by enthuisiastic members of the public wanting to help AND AN EAGER MEDIA WANTING TO SELL MORE NEWSPAPERS!!!

5. When my Israeli friend and I visited Praia del Luz we immediately smelt a rat. First amongst the nervous management of the OCEAN CLUB RESORT ( GO AND INTERVIEW THE GM ROBIN)-and second with the UNNATURAL reaction of the McCann family- PERHAPS IT COULD HAV BEEN HOW THYE COMMUNICATED THEIR FEELINGS- I DONT KNOW .

IN PORTUGAL AS WELL AS THE REST OF EUROPE THERE WAS NO HANDS AND FEET TO THIS CASE...IT WAS DYFUNCTIONAL COMPLETELY. there were tons of leads...and sightings...and all of them proved to be false...
The only credible sighting of Maddy that made any sense was the Morrocan and the Argentine one.

We were in Praia del Luz for a short time and we clearly saw that something was wrong- for example the apartment they were staying in was being rented out... ALOS THE APARTMENT WAS POSITONED WITH ALMOST PERFECTACCESS TO THE STREET...THE EVIDENCE WAS ALREADY BEING TAMPERED WITH BY MANY AND THE FORENSICS WERE DEFINATELY FAULTY.

Later on after praying at the church,
We met Sandy who said he would pass on our offer to Gerry and Kate. I also gave them a gift of a childrens book I wrote.We never heard back from them ( WE WERE BOTH UPSET BY THIS)-( WE HAD COME THERE IN GOOD FAITH HAVING DRIVEN MANY HUNDREDS OF MILES FROM SPAIN TO GET THERE) - their BEST course of action would have been to have initiated an independent investigation immediately , and that has now backfired on them ... they are now the suspects of this case because the portuguese government want closure....its an embarassment for them- and it affects confidence in portugal...

6. In England-THE TABLOIDS THEMSELVES IN MY kidnapping CASE INITIATED and paid for THAT Private INVESTIGATION FROM THE UK when I was abducted mnay years ago...They didnt need any permission from the UK government to do so- they just did it... and it was my mother who approached them to pay for it.

I was the" Madeleine Mccann of 1969 /70 !!! "

I was abducted - albeit by my father - but I WENT MISSING FOR ONE YEAR.. . IT WAS A HIGHLY PUBLICISED CASE THEN... PROBABLY -( ASK MY PARENTS- THEYLL TELL YOU ALL ABOUT IT...)Ive only vague memories now and the pictures Ive lost.Desmond Blo of the Sunday times in South Africa covered the story over there... thats all I remember...

They found me after a year in South Africa. It was a terrible traumatic experience to go through as a small child . And in this I can sympathise with Kate and Gerry. John told me that they are planning to make a documentary soon to show the British public what they have been through - this documentary will give their side of the story to the Public.

And this is why I feel strongly about using professional investigators in this matter. There are many around that could assist...people who have had very good success. ( Lappies Labuschagne from South Africa for example) -

There are many pros from around the world that could join in this INDEPENDENT INTERNATIONAL team to find maddy... people who have different experiences and are TOP people... spend the money on this and you will get tangible results... I KNOW!...IT WORKS....!!!!!- IT WORKED FOR ME , IT CAN WORK FOR MADDY.

7. Finally, I believe this whole thing can be turned around for good! I believe that IF an International Team of Professionals from different backrounds were put together they would not only be able to crack open this case... but many like it...and it could be the catalyst of HOPE for other missing children around the world who are not so fortunate as Maddy was to have a caring family who would not let HER MEMORY go.

And it is to this that the funds WERE collected - NOT ONLY TO LEAVE NO STONE UNTURNED TO FIND MADDY( and the Portuguese Police could not stop this ) ... BUT ALSO TO FIND THE TRUTH OF MADELEINE MCCANNS DISAPPEARANCE AND OTHERS LIKE HER... !!!

We all feel part of this story, like PRINCESS diana, its part of us now...MADDY IS A SYMBOL...! A SYMBOL WE JUST CANT LET GO!-

BUT-if the parents are guilty then- (AFTER ALL THIS BALLAGA) ... it shows that human beings have sunk to a new low...if we have been duped by the hunger to sell papers -or the feeding frenzy to crucify someone- then we've all reached a new low... !!!
therefore...

The public have a right to know. We have a RIGHT TO KNOW THE TRUTH!- HIRE THE P.I.S NOW!!!

Perhaps then we could all find closure in this case. Perhaps then we could go back to our normal lives having eased our corporate conscience saying TODAY... THE WORLD IS INDEED A SAFER PLACE...!!!

Yours faithfully,

Robin Denton



POSTNOTE: regarding the fund . He said they havent ruled out using the funds to mount an independent ( independent for ethical reasons of kate and gerry) enquiry of the evidence collected thusfar.
