The Missing - BBC1 9pm Tuesdays

[Brietta]

And in the last part of missing it was the telephone hacking

Illegal hacking by the reporter.

The only reference I know of that phones may have been tapped was the official PJ tapping of Robert Murat's phone, the transcript of the call between him and the British police officer is in the files.

So IMO it is not another parallel to Madeleine's case.

Hasn't there just been a multi million pound hacking case ? Didn't kate and Gerry get a news of the world payout ?

I think you will find the damages received from the press in out of court settlement were for libellous statements picked up from the Portuguese media who in turn were printing the lies leaked to them from a source close to the investigation ... "100% DNA" immediately springs to mind.

I see no parallel with the reporter portrayed in The Missing ... that you do is perhaps a problem for you to address.

The mccanns gave statements at the leveson enquiry wasnt that phone hackng

[jassi]

Wasn't it demonstrated that the McCanns hadn't been hacked?
They were making an issue over press intrusion and mis-reporting, rather than hacking.

Indeed Jassi, nothing to do with phone hacking at all.

That would be another myth.

[Kazcutt]

My mistake


In the latest revelations, people linked to missing Madeleine McCann and murdered schoolgirl Danielle Jones are said to have had their mobile messages broken into by the Sunday tabloid’s journalists.

You've got it in one jassi ... the following is snipped from a long article ... press intrusion it is, not a mention of phone hacking.

 ... and totally NOTHING to do with a drama called THE MISSING.

Leveson inquiry: McCanns deliver damning two-hour testimony

Couple describe the ordeal they suffered at hands of media and make impassioned plea for press regulation

**snip**
Kate and Gerry McCann made an impassioned plea for press regulation after delivering an emotional account of their treatment by the tabloids, describing the string of "disgusting" and "offensive" stories published about them.

Appearing as witnesses at the Leveson inquiry into press standards, the McCanns gave the most powerful testimony heard so far, speaking for nearly two hours without a break as they described the ordeal they have been subjected to by parts of the media since their daughter Madeleine went missing in Portugal four years ago.

Kate McCann told a hushed courtroom at the Royal Courts of Justice in London how she felt "totally violated" after the publication by the News of the World of her personal diaries in which she recorded her thoughts about her missing daughter.

I don't think it's anything to do with the mccann case
It reminded me of Madeleine's case
Just like it must have reminded the poster if the case as its in Madeleine's pages

One being the paper where she revealed she could not make love to Gerry.

A classic illustration of the McCann's trying to get sympathy.

Trouble is, with analysis, it's a load of rollocks.

[Kazcutt]

The couple in the missing couldn't make love either

Coincidence or what.

[Taverna]

How many distraught parents would be interested in sex when their child was missing.

THIS IS THE MISSING thread is it on.....a tad off subject for a few pages lol.....

Anyway about The Missing.

there was a BBC trailer for The missing last night and it showed someone being dragged away by police and i think Tony and his ex watching...i couldnt see clearly who it was......

I really think the Key is Vincent. I think the story was made complicated to fit 8 episodes and when we come down to it in the end it will be as simple as that........

I have been saying Baptiste, tongue in cheek, as there is something about him I am not sure of but i think it comes down to several relationships in the end being on dodgy ground.......it isnt always men who run pedophile rings, and it isnt always men who want to abduct children.......

Sadly Vincent was abused by his father, and Garrat was abused by his grandfather....and so the circle keeps revolving.

There is obviously some good in Vincent as he is desperately trying to get well. I am thinking right now he took the boy.....for Garrat and after what he did felt so horrified by it he sickened himself because he became a monster like Garrat but was scared for his mothers life....who was his mother, I think it was or could have been Mary Garrat, and I think it was Garrat who was the father abusing Vincent.  Garrat told Tony he didnt take his son, well he didnt not technically he was taken for him. Lets face it anyone who has over 50 tapes of children being abused, the odds of it being him are pretty stacked up....I think even Garratt had enough of being a monster and knew by confessing all this to Tony, Tony would kill him as he was a coward himself (monsters like him usually are afraid to kill themselves).

The sobriety medal doesnt have a name on it, and it could easily belong to anyone. Tony is very quick to come to conclusions, and he isnt or wasnt always right, and to be honest, I dont like him I think he is a murderer regardless of what or who he kills......

I think there was a ring and it will evolve several players, The Mayor, and the owners of the hotel....thats it folks lol.............
