A damning new “evidence-based”
documentary is being prepared for
screening in 2015 and promises to tell
the “Untold Story of Madeleine McCann” -
alleging that “no abduction took place
at all”.
Orchestrated by independent journalist
and social activist Sonia Poulton, the
project got underway following the death
of 63-year-old grandmother Brenda
Leyland - the so-called internet “troll”
“outed” over tweets that questioned the
official version of events “as put
forward by mainstream media”.
According to Poulton, Leyland wrote in a
tweet last year that “should she die in
odd circumstances” she hoped “people
would question, and not just accept the
first version of events”.
This is what Poulton claims has spurred
her on. In a Christmas message posted on
Youtube, the former broadcaster with
Internet TV station The People’s Voice
reveals her documentary should be ready
by the end of March.
Poulton claims her investigation has
already flagged up “plenty of evidence
to suggest there was not an abduction”.
Her focus, she explains, has been on
“interviews with “central characters” in
the disappearance.
“As you can imagine, these have not
exactly been forthcoming”, she adds.
Thus, the decision to “door-step” those
she believes have “questions to answer”.
This far Poulton claims to have
door-stepped four key characters in the
mystery, and she says her investigation
has also “traced someone involved in the
campaign” to maintain the official
version of events, whose identity will
“shock people”.
Poulton’s Christmas message to all those
“fighting for justice” who have become
“online detectives” over the last seven
years is simply that they remain strong.
“We all need to be heard now”, she
concludes. “The fact is that the media
is systematically failing to represent
what is being said online with regard to
Madeleine McCann”.
As the Metropolitan Police investigation
moves into 2015 - having already cost
the British taxpayer over £10 million -
and a Portuguese inquiry is also
ongoing, Poulton reveals that she has
been in touch with Scotland Yard to say
she would be “more than happy” to be
interviewed over her contention that
many aspects of the abduction theory “do
not add up”.
She claims “even a cursory glance” at
the factual information available would
show this, but that “heavy censorship”
means that very few people are aware
unless they delve into the police files.
“We will not be silenced any more”,
Poulton said in an earlier clip, also
posted on Youtube, shortly after Brenda
Leyland’s death in October. “We are no
longer prepared to be ignored, or
silenced or demonised just because we
say that that official version of events
needs to be questioned”.
As Poulton’s investigation continues, it
is uncertain where the final documentary
will be broadcast. Her move from The
People’s Voice in January was not
without controversy, and she has since
been described on the alternative online
blog The Needle as not so much a
journalist but “just a woman with an
opinion on everything”. |
