Des dizaines de théories entourent la disparition de l'enfant, mais de nombreux faits de base sur la nuit du 3 mai n'ont pas encore été confirmés par la police portugaise. En l'absence d'informations, même les plus élémentaires, les journalistes ont été contraints de rassembler les détails de l'enquête policière. Il existe plusieurs théories. Dans la semaine qui a suivi la disparition, la première théorie des tabloïds portugais était qu'elle avait été kidnappée "por encomenda" - prise sur ordre d'un réseau pédophile. Un signalement au Maroc, la police portugaise s'est rendue au Maroc pour enquêter.
Des journaux locaux ont laissé entendre que quelqu'un voulait se venger d'eux. De nombreux habitants de Praia da Luz pensent que Madeleine est sortie de sa chambre au rez-de-chaussée dans la rue, soit parce qu'elle était somnambule, soit à la recherche de ses parents. Une fois à l'extérieur, ils pensent qu'elle a été emmenée par un passant ou, plus bizarrement, a erré à quelques centaines de mètres dans la rue où se déroulaient les travaux. Une théorie veut qu'elle soit tombée dans des trous profonds creusés sur la route. Cependant, les détectives ont largement écarté l'idée que Madeleine s'est simplement réveillée et s'est promenée dans les rues. Ils disent qu'une fille de son âge qui marche seule aurait probablement été repérée par des adultes anglais ou portugais et ramenée à la maison. Parmi ces théories, la police pense que l'enlèvement sur ordre et l'enlèvement par un seul ou un groupe de pédophiles est le plus probable.Peu de crédibilité est donnée à la théorie selon laquelle Madeleine a été kidnappée comme acte de vengeance.

SATURDAY, MAY 26: We went to an amusement park with the kids. Some phone calls, emails etc. Not a very good day for either the two of us—some dark thoughts/ frustrations/ desperation creeping in. Some tears.

Day 23 -26/05/2007 - Saturday

Yesterday was relatively quiet although we did meet the British ambassador and the senior British Police Officer who has been working here in Portugal on the case. This was a productive meeting. There was a flurry of activity amongst the media here stating the family was openly critical of the Portuguese policed which was not true. We did our best to dampen this down but a couple of papers carried stories with our ‘frustration’ with the investigation rather than what we said it was frustrating that 3 weeks down the line we still have not got Madeleine back. This would be the case which ever country we were in. Some of you may have noticed that Sean and Amelie did manage to squeeze in a hair cut!
Today was extremely busy and tiring. We met with our press officer Clarence Mitchell, to discuss strategy for the fortcoming interviews. Kate attended a luncheon in aid of International Missing Child day and John, my brother, attended a similar event in London. After this John and Brian Kennedy, Kate’s uncle, who are both directors of Madeleine’s fund appointed an interim fund manager. We are now actively looking for a campaign manager who will be needed once our government press officer disappears.
The interviews were our first for TV and we were happy how they went. We did 10 min interviews for Sky, BBC, ITV, Portuguese TV/radio and one for the press association. A shorter interview with GM TV will be shown on Monday morning along with stuff from our fabulous web team. The interviewers were very kind but did not shirk from asking us some extremely difficult questions. We answered them all and although painful will allow us to move on in our search for Madeleine. Importantly, shortly after our interviews finished the Portuguese Police held a press conference and gave details of man they would like to interview who was seen carrying a child on the night of Madeleine’s disappearance. We have not had a transcript of what was said but this is an encouraging development and hopefully will result in further calls to the police with information from people who were in Praia da Luz around the time of Madeleine’s abduction. We remain very optimistic that the criminal investigation will lead to Madeleine’s safe return but we need everyone to be alert and vigilant to any suspicious activity.
Tomorrow will be a family day. We are doing a photo-shoot with the twins for the Sunday newspapers in the morning but will involve stuff that we want to do with them anyway. We also need to recharge our batteries after what has been a very busy week.

KMC's Diary : 
SUNDAY, MAY 27: 
Clarence spoke to us about a possible trip to the Vatican. It seems that it really is going to happen—main story on the news!
Spoke to Dad. I went for a walk to the beach with Sean and Amelie. Frozen. Beach—slippery, wet feet.
We all had dinner when we got back to the apartment.
We have to keep looking. We have to find you beloved xxxxx.

Day 24 - 27/05/2007 - Sunday
Strange day after all the activity during the week. Kate and I started off with an early morning run to the the top of the nearby cliffs. Sean and Amelie were back in kids club and went swimming again. The rest of us attended mass which was very emotional as a priest from RAF Lossiemouth was visiting and further prayers were said for Madeleine. Father Zee-Manuel has also rigged up a powerpoint display projecting a large photograph of Madeleine on to the wall, which he is very proud of and reminds us of the beautiful little girl we are missing so terribly.
There have been some requests for more information ‘about Madeleine’ and this section will be updated very soon. We will also be releasing a very short video of Madeleine taken at the Airport on the day we left for Portugal, Saturday 28 April. Sean and Amelie went to the beach this afternoon with mummy, auntie Trisha and Anne but daddy stayed in the apartment catching up on campaign e-mails, making calls and liaising with Clarence our press officer. The resort is much busier again as it is half-term and there are definitely less journalists here. Many of them have been here since the beginning and are making this journey with us.
The couple of Sunday articles we read did not cover much of what we talked about and seemed to get some of the other stuff wrong! We stated that Sean and Amelie are sleeping in our room (in separate cots) because of other family staying with us and that we were trying to treat them as normal and not be overprotective. This came out that we were so protective we have to have them sleeping in our bed! These inaccuracies are not important in our search for Madeleine and the next phase is being planned currently.
It looks like our planned trips to other European cities will start off in Rome after we learned today that the Pope has been following Madeleine’s abduction closely. There is a reasonable chance we may get a chance to meet the Pontiff and that he will pray for Madeleine. Such a visit would generate huge publicity regarding the family campaign to find Madeleine and will also give Kate and I a great spiritual lift. It will also raise the awareness of missing and abused children generally. We continue to pray that someone will provide the key information that leads us to Madeleine.

Quoi qu'ait été par ailleurs la couverture de l'enlèvement de Madeleine McCann, elle a rarement été, depuis le premier jour, un reportage de faits réels. De temps en temps, lorsqu'un journal récapitulait les faits de l'affaire, on constatait à quel point ces faits étaient maigres engendrant donc peu de récits sur les faits réels.

L'enfant a été emmenée et, dix jours plus tard, Robert Murat a été interrogé puis libéré, tout en restant officiellement suspect. C'est tout. Presque tout le reste, rempli page après page et bulletin après bulletin, semaine après semaine, a été autre chose que des informations.

Cela ne signifie pas que ce n'était pas du journalisme. C’est un fait de la vie moderne que seule une minorité d'articles apportent de vraies nouvelles au sens où le lecteur découvre des faits essentiels qui sont nouveaux pour lui. Les récits de suivi ou les récits secondaires composés de couleurs, de réactions, de spéculations, de connaissances de base et d’éclairages divers constituent une part essentielle du business journalistique.

Dans l'affaire McCann, certaines de ces histoires secondaires sont apparues spontanément, comme lorsqu'une Norvégienne a déclaré avoir vu une blonde en détresse à Marrakech ou lorsque des sites Web commerciaux "trouver Madeleine" ont commencé à apparaître, tirant profit de l'inquiétude. D'autres journaux ont été évoqués par des journaux avides d'imprimés. Ils ont contribué à la récompense, facilité les appels spéciaux (celui de David Beckham, par exemple) et, dans un style familier et convenu, ont mis en doute la compétence de la police locale.

C'est l'habitude en cas de fait-divers à haut profil. Mais ce qui rend l’affaire Madeleine McCann vraiment exceptionnelle, c’est le nombre de récits secondaires générés par la famille McCann elle-même et par leurs conseillers. En fait, cette histoire a été gérée de manière extraordinaire par ses personnages principaux.

On l'a vu lorsque le couple a publié la description d'une journée-type à Praia da Luz. Leur diary en lui-même était une histoire - "un aperçu émotionnel de leur monde désespéré", selon le Sunday Mirror - et avec lui des photos des parents et des jumeaux jouant et mangeant ensemble - les premières images de l'intérieur du complexe.

Parmi les détails de leur emploi du temps, nous lisons que les matins, lorsque les jumeaux sont à la crèche, sont consacrés à des "réunions avec notre attaché de presse, les représentants Mark Warner, occasionnellement des agents du consulat, des avocats et des agents de liaison britanniques". Les parents avaient aussi demandé conseil aux membres de leur famille et à leurs amis britanniques pour "maintenir le profil élevé de Madeleine".

Leur succès dans ce domaine a été étonnant et constitue un exploit publicitaire dans une affaire criminelle probablement sans précédent en Europe. Leurs initiatives, apparitions et déclarations, ainsi que celles de leurs parents et amis en Grande-Bretagne, ont été brillamment jugées et rythmées pour maintenir l'histoire au premier plan, longtemps après qu'une presse fictive aurait normalement perdu tout intérêt. Il y a eu aussi les 500 milles.

La publication de ce journal était un exemple. Le troisième tour des journaux du dimanche depuis l'enlèvement était sur le point de paraître et il fallait quelque chose de spécial. ils l'ont fourni et le résultat a été une couverture médiatique importante dans la presse. Un autre exemple de cette astuce est qu'ils ont évité les exclusivités, qui font de vous des ennemis aussi sûrement qu'ils vous font des amis.

De manière tout à fait frappante, cependant, le couple a établi un lien direct avec le public, faisant ainsi croire aux lecteurs et aux téléspectateurs qu’ils avaient un rôle à jouer dans l’histoire, et c’est probablement ce qui a maintenu les journalistes, ne voulant pas déranger ces lecteurs et ces téléspectateurs, sur leur meilleur comportement depuis si longtemps.

Alastair Campbell n’est peut-être nulle part ailleurs, mais il s’agit là d’une gestion de l’information hautement sophistiquée.

N'exagérons pas: les McCann à eux seuls n'auraient pas pu susciter un phénomène d'actualité d'une ampleur telle que nous l'avons vu. De grandes forces du genre Dianamania ont clairement été à l'œuvre, ce qui dépasse l'entendement des docteurs et rédacteurs en chef. Les McCann, aussi déterminés que désespérés, ont mobilisé ces forces avec une grande habileté. Brian Cathcart

Day 25 - 28/05/2007 - Monday

Confirmation arrived this evening that we are to attend the Vatican and a service with The Pope. It is likely we will be seated in the front row and may have an opportunity to speak with the Holy Father and ask for prayers for Madeleine. This is a hugely important visit both personally, for Kate and I, but also for the wider campaign to publicise Madeleine’s disappearance. The trip has been facilitated through Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O’Connor and we will be receiving assistance from the British Embassy whilst in Rome. On this occasion because of the short notice and the relatively early time of the service we have accepted the kind offer of the use of Sir Philip Green’s personal jet, which will help get us home quickly after our Papal visit to see the twins before their bedtime. We will be accompanied by a small group of media who are still with us in Praia da Luz and, as usual all the material will be available to all the British press and broadcasters equally. For all trips we are assessing whether commercial flights can get us to our destination and back to Portugal quickly. This will NOT be a Tour- it is a series of very brief visits with the specific aim of raising awareness and we aim to get back here as quickly as possible.
We have decided that for the majority of trips it will not be practicable, or fair, to take Sean and Amelie with us. They have an established routine which we do not want to disrupt and will be looked after by very close family. Tonight for the first time they have gone to sleep in their own single beds, rather than cots, now that another two of our family have gone home. We were planning to turn their cots at home into beds after our 1 week holiday but obviously this has been delayed with Madeleine’s abduction. We have been in Praia da Luz for over 4 weeks and Sean and Amelie’s development from toddlers to little boy and girl continues. Madeleine will really notice the difference when she sees them!
Some of you may have seen on the news the huge inflatable billboard which has travelled all the way from the West of Scotland to Portugal which will be used near busy roads/motorways to keep Madeleine’s disappearance high profile. We had a brief chat with Chris and Les, who drove almost non-stop from Glasgow to get here. The extraordinary length ordinary people are going to help us is truly overwhelming. We thank everyone for their efforts, no matter how small, and we know this will make a difference in our search for Madeleine.

Une équipe de spécialistes britanniques des télécommunications est arrivée en Algarve pour tenter d'identifier les mouvements de téléphones autour de PdL.

Les traces sont créées par des transmissions silencieuses envoyées par chaque téléphone mobile même lorsqu'il n'est pas utilisé. Chaque signal est capté par des antennes qui produisent une information chronométrée des mouvements du combiné. En mesurant la force du signal, l'emplacement du combiné peut souvent être réduit à une zone aussi petite que quelques mètres carrés. Les détectives utiliseront les informations pour vérifier les déclarations fournies par les clients et le personnel du complexe Ocean Club, où Madeleine a été prise de son lit.

Day 26 - 29/05/2007 - Tuesday

We have been preoccupied with preparation for our audience with the Pope tomoorow morning. This morning was spent acquiring some appropriate dress for the meeting since we had only holiday clothes with us in Portugal. Clarence has been inundated with calls regarding the visit to Rome and done most of the organisation behind the scenes.
It has been very difficult to leave Sean and Amelie but it is only for one nght and we will be back to see them before bedtime tomorrow. Trish and Sandy (Madeleine’s Godparents) who have been with us in Portugal since Day 2 are looking after them and we were surprised to hear they were tucked up in bed by 7.30pm- they must like their new beds!
The flight to Rome passed extremely quickly and some footage was taken for TV. We did a couple of short interviews for the British and Portuguesae press about our feelings regarding the trip. Under normal circumstances we would be extremely excited about meeting the Pope, but as we are here as a result of Madeleine’s abduction the circumstances are very different. We expect to receive a great spiritual lift, especially if we get to speak to the Pontiff personally. After the audience we will be holding a short press conference in the British Embassy to the Vatican to talk about our campaign to publicise Madeleine’s disappearance and of course, our audience with the Pope.
Francis Campbell, the British ambassador to the Holy See, and his staff picked us at the airport and brought us directly to the Embassy residences near the city centre. We have been made to feel completely at ease and almost as if we are part of a small family here, which has helped ease our tangible nerves, not unsurprising given the importance of tomorrow’s meeting. We are now retiring and will be saying our usual prayers for Madeleine’s safe return.

Les McCann devraient veiller à ce que, dans leur souci de garder les photographies de Madeleine sur les premières pages des journaux du monde, ils ne fassent pas fuir le public dont ils ont si désespérément besoin de la vigilance. Ce matin, les McCann devaient rencontrer le pape Benoît à Rome, après y avoir volé dans un jet privé fourni par le magnat Philip Green. Mais pourquoi et comment? Pourquoi, avec tout le respect que je leur dois, leur cas est-il si spécial alors que des millions de jeunes sont perdus chaque année à cause de la violence, de l'esclavage et de la prostitution des enfants, de la pauvreté, de la famine, du manque d'eau potable et des maladies évitables?

  KMC's Diary : 
WEDNESDAY, MAY 30: 
The kids went to bed again around 9pm!!! Low point of tonight—becoming desperate/without hope because of the lack of information. They are acting like they have no leads at all. Very worried.
Tomorrow it will be 4 weeks since Madeleine was taken. Four weeks since we saw our special little girl. We are not certain that we will ever see her again, but know that we have to keep up our hope and strength—for the others, at least. Exhausted. I love you so much, Madeleine. You must come back! X
Also: Pope Benedict XVI arrived in his "pope mobile" waving to everyone. It immediately became clear that he recognised us. He took hold of our hands and he was so gentle, so sincere. I thanked him for having allowed us to be there with him. He said he would pray for us and that he would continue to pray for Madeleine and for her safe return. I gave him the photo of Madeleine—he blessed it (with the thumb)—something that we would be able to keep for ever. A shy man but very friendly. Very emotional, very positive, very important—charming. Please, God, bring back to us little Madeleine. We love her so much and we miss her so much. Please Lord, help us to be united once again shortly as a family.
Later on, Clarence told me that, before that, a butterfly had flown above and had landed on the bow on my hair. Following on, it left, but it came back and landed on my lapel. An omen, we hope

Day 27 - 30/05/2007 - Wednesday

Today has gone as well as we could possibly imagine.
We woke around 7.15am and got ourselves ready. There was a lovely continental breakfast prepared but both Kate and I ate very little due to nerves. We left the Embassy just after 9.00am and stopped en route to the Vatican, at Piazza Pia for a photo opportunity with St Peters in the distance. I made a very short statement regarding our forthcoming visit and expressed my gratitude to Francis Campbell, the British Ambassador to the Vatican, and his staff for making us feel as if we were part of their family.
We arrived in plenty of time for the Papal audience and were delighted to find we were seated in the ‘Prima Fila’- the first row. Clarence, Francis and Monsingneur Charlie Burns, a colourful Glaswegian who teaches at the seminary and looks after the Ambassador’s spiritual well being were seated immediately behind us. It was extremely sunny and I have to admit that Kate and I were struggling somewhat with the heat in our dark suits but Francis rescued us with an umbrella and some water and following that some heavy cloud rolled in, cooling us down.
The atmosphere in St Peter’s square was almost carnival like with up to 35,000 people there to see the Pope. He did not disappoint, driving slowly around the crowd in his open jeep, waving cheerfully. We were sombre in contrast given that we were there to ask Benedict to pray for Madeleine, although I am sure others were also there to get blessings for their loved ones. After this the Pontiff took his seat in front of approximately 30 cardinals, bishops and priests. One of the priests, Father Daniel Gallagher from the US, came up to us before the service and said some very kind words; that he was praying and everyone was praying for Madeleine daily.
The service started with a series of addresses from priests representing the various French, German, Italian, English, Spanish and Polish speaking congregations present. Each parish represented was mentioned and various bands, mainly German, played short pieces and a few choirs sang a verse and the large Polish contingent priests seated behind us wearing large yellow scarves tied like ribbons around theirs necks sang 3 or 4! At the end of this preamble the priest stated that the Pope was happy to tell us he was praying for the congregation, our families, our children and those who were suffering. These words seemed so poignant in the light of Madeleine’s abduction and naturally both Kate and I were, naturally, very emotional. The Pope’s actual address seemed to pass in a blur and I am looking forward to reading the actual transcript as I can remember very little of the actual words. Following the completion of the Papal address in the different languages, Benedict individually greeted the other clergy on the dias. During this period Father Gallagher presented us with a small gift to remind us that he would pray daily for Madeleine and a cardinal also expressed similar sentiments. The Pope took approximately 20 minutes to meet other people in the Prima Fila before reaching us. It felt as if time stood still for a moment when the Pope looked into our faces and there was almost instant recognition and a change in his expression. He said he would pray for us, our family and Madeleine. Kate passed him a photograph of Madeleine and he blessed this and would pray for her safe returning. The meeting was more personal than we could have imagined given the number of people there and will help us sustain our hope and determination to find Madeleine.
The press conference followed shortly afterwards and was very well attended. We will give more details tomorrow as we are very tired following our visit and hope to get an early night before planning our next trip.

KMK ne tiendra pas toujours un tel discours qui donne la mesure des manipulations exercées sur les médias de bas en haut de la hiérarchie : je refuse absolument et résolument de critiquer les parents de Madeleine McCann. Il semble être devenu vaguement à la mode de prendre des photos du couple pour avoir laissé les enfants alors qu'ils dînaient à moins de 100 mètres. L'idée que les McCann sont tout sauf des parents aimants et attentionnés est dégoûtante. Toute diffamation devrait viser le pédophile révoltant qui a clairement attendu son temps pour s'emparer de Madeleine. J'admire beaucoup la façon dont les McCann ont gardé le profil de l'affaire malgré le fait que la plupart du temps, ils doivent se demander comment continuer. Cela fait 28 jours que Madeleine a été kidnappée et après la première publicité, cela aurait facilement pu devenir une autre histoire d'horreur sans le fait que les McCann sont assez courageux pour affronter les caméras chaque jour. Il ne fait aucun doute que le monde du haut débit a été dans l’ensemble une force positive et a rendu nos vies beaucoup plus faciles. Il a créé d'énormes fortunes pour les hommes d'affaires intelligents. Serait-ce trop demander à Bill Gates, le génie derrière Microsoft, de donner une partie de sa fortune pour traquer certains de ces vils porcs sur le net?

Day 28 - 31/05/2007 - Thursday

Press conference in Rome went very well giving us an excellent forum to ask for help in the search for Madeleine. We told people about the website, how to download posters and ask people to print them and take on holiday wherever they are.
We arrived in Madrid late last night and have a series of meetings arranged with government and non government agencies concerned with child welfare. We will also be hosting a press conference again to raise general awareness of Madeleine´s disappearance and ask for the public´s help in our search for Madeleine. We may also do a few very short interviews for US news stations which are widely broadcast in Europe, N.Africa and Asia, particularly in English speaking hotels and other outlets. Will update after meetings.
