We had a thread a few weeks ago based on a newspaper report saying the police were heading to Portugal to arrest 3 burglars ( these men in the area going by mobile phone records at the time of Maddie''s disappearance). Never mind the police hadn't' even located them or interviewed them when that newspaper published that story.

I get tired of news outlets in Aust picking up these sorts of stories from oseas tabloid newspapers and running them with big headlines as if there is some real news in them.

I'm sure they got confirmation from the New Idea magazine before publishing.

Newscorp probably swiped it from one of its tabloids in the U.K. Must be hard to find anyt news worthy of printing when you're not allowed to hack into peoples phone and email accounts
