						 The dates are of interest as there seems to have been a sudden 
						flurry of activity between the McCanns , their backer 
						Brian Kennedy and Robert Murat the time this bag was

						The  bag and its contents being pure fabrication , they are not in

						There therefore can be only one reason this story was released and

						A bag of clothes containing DNA linked to Madeleine McCann has been

						The white carrier bag was discovered in a layby two weeks ago near

						Maddie’s parents Kate and Gerry McCann have learned the bag

						Madeleine: Changes in evidence from Tapas Nine could ‘dramatically

						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…….. 
						
						  
						
						Jane Tanner.Why it is so important to her that we know she did not 
						have jeans with her when Madeleine disappeared. She is 
						not asked what clothing she wore on that night, but 
						volunteers the information. And goes on to explain she 
						was wearing one of O'Brians fleeces. 
						
						  
						
						  
						
						QUOTE 
						
						  
						
						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. 
						
						  
						
						  
						
						  
						
						The fabricated article of the bag found along the road to Faro 
						airport and its list of contents are of no 
						importance…just the two items are relevant above the 
						reporter Dominic Herberts name.

						The missing blue bag…… does it contain the fleece and jeans? ‘ and 
						if so, who has it and where is it ?…..AND if a good 
						friend helped you in a bad situation, why would you keep 
						it to use as a weapon against him?  
						
						  
						
						  
						
						SNIFFER DOGS ‘Found Scent of Death’ on McCanns Friend 
						
						  
						
						  
						
						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. 
						
						  
						
						“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. 
						
						  
						
						  
						
						Sniffer dogs found scent on one of McCanns friends  
						
						  
						
						  
						
						  
						
						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 
						O'Brian, it would seem, has not sued anyone.)

						 Dr.Russell O’Brian: Leicestershire  Police how unfortunate the 
						video for his first interview seemed to have ‘Technical 
						failure’. 
						
						  
						
						 Russell read Jane Tanners,( his partners) statement to remind him 
						of the events . The events, who could forget the events 
						of May 3rd 2007? Who would need to ‘refresh their memory 
						of such a dreadful night? how could anyone forget the 
						‘disappearance’ of a child, not just 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…read 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. (The twins and Madeleine seem to 
						be thought of as seperate entities,  saying 'the 
						children' would make them as one ) 
						
						  
						
						  
						
						  
						
						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. (Why not say Jez Wilkins?) 
						
						  
						
						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 and long hair said Kate. Jane Tanner said no such thing (but 
						Tanner does have long hair and is afraid enough to 
						mention she did not have jeans with her on that trip). 
						What was Kate up to , what was she plotting in her 
						little mind , if the worse came to the worse, accuse her 
						friend? she had already told a social worker her child 
						had been taken by a couple. What put that into her head? 
						
						Jeans had to be explained away again in Janes rogatory statement , 
						once again she tells she did not have jeans with her on 
						that trip. 
						
						  
						
						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. 
						
						  
						
						  
						
						 (The photograph Jane is talking about is a photograph of her in 
						blue jeans, she is not wearing the Maddie wristband or 
						badge which they all wore. O'Brian wore his when he 
						returned to PDL to accuse Murat. ) Before the wristbands 
						arrived Dr.Mccann was wearing a yellow and green scooby 
						doo around his wrist. 
						
						  
						
						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. 
						
						  
						
						Jez Wilkins had already seen Jane earlier in the evening of May 
						3rd, standing outside an apartment, she was wearing a 
						purple dress. 
						
						  
						
						Returning to the jeans 
						
						  
						
						The jeans seem to be of great importance to Jane  and from Kates 
						suggestion of jeans in her statement, again ,without 
						being prompted, Kate knows the reason why. 
						
						  
						
						  
						
						  
						
						And so it goes on.

						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

						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…….. 
						
						  
						
						  
						
						Jane Tanner in this photograph is not wearing the wristband on her 
						left wrist, the reason being, the yellow bands and 
						badges had yet to arrive in PDL, proof enough this 
						photograph was taken the week Madeleine disappeared. The 
						photograph of O'Brian was when he returned to PDL to 
						accuse Murat of seeing him on the night of May 3rd. Jane 
						Tanner did not return with him.O'Brian is wearing 
						wristband and badge..Or if ,as she claims this is not 
						from PDL then where is her solidarity? why is she not 
						wearing the Maddie logos?  
						
						
						
						Someone, somewhere has a pair of adult jeans and  fleece 
						and they are both stained with the DNA of Madeleine Beth 
						Mccann.  |
