THE CUDDLECAT CONNECTION

Below a collection of information on the godfather (possibly of Madeleine although there are conflicting reports which state that JC is godfather to Amelie) . He is reported to have given Cuddlecat to Maddie and to have been in charge of the  distribution of photographs.

Liverpool Echo May 6 2007: 

[..]

Jon Corner, founder of Liverpool-based River Media, is godfather to the McCann’s twins and his wife has known Mrs McCann since they were both threre.

The co-founder of city centre-based River Media, and a father-of-three himself, said: “Kate phoned me in the early hours totally devastated .(Kate had in fact 24 communications with JC starting at 02.53 on the 4th May until 06.59)

“She just told me that Maddy had been abducted, that the shutters of the apartment had been forced and someone had taken her.

[..]

Mr Corner said he saw the couple when they brought the family up to Merseyside for the christening of his last child at the end of March

 From KH1: 'madeleine': Chapter 6: (4th May)

Around 8am, I started to receive text messages and calls from friends back in the UK who were seeing and hearing news bulletins –

[...]

(Kate talks on in general terms but relates the meeting with Yvonne Martin around 10.00 am long after the following extract, so I presume the time that Jon Corner was busy with the photographs was well before 8.00 am since at that time Kate was receiving reactions to news bulletins.This leads me to believe that Jon Corner already had the photoshopped images on his computer ready 'to go').
Chapter 6:

The texts and phone calls kept coming. By this time our friend Jon Corner, a creative director in media production in Liverpool, was circulating photographs and video footage of Madeleine to the police, Interpol and broadcasting and newspaper news desks. (One call  from JC at 09.33 lasting 5.35 min would probably have been about the above information).This was in accordance with the standard advice of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children in the US, which advocates getting an image of a missing child into the public domain as soon as possible.(Is this giving a little too much information? How and why on earth would JC have known about US strategies and why US? UK strategy I can just believe, but this information was already available to JC on the night of the 3/4 May as indeed were the photographs.)

Chapter 8:

Jon Corner had opened up the file transfer protocol he’d set up on 4 May to circulate Madeleine’s image to family, friends and other supporters. [...] basically, it provided access via a password to a repository for photographs and other material, allowing people to share their resources. Helpers could post their material on a dedicated server via the FTP and use that supplied by others to create flyers, posters and so on. The press already had the password, which gave them access to pictures and video footage.

Jon Corner was the one who gave this description of Maddie: 

'“So beautiful, astonishingly bright, and I’d have to say very charismatic. She would shine out of a crowd, ”family friend Jon Corner says of the child. “So—God forgive me—maybe that’s part of the problem. That special quality. Some bastard picked up on that.” (Vanity Fair febr. 2008)

BBC news on 4th May and the home video of Madeleine dressed as Snow White was shown.

Remark from JD on JH:

Even though technically it can be done to send a video so quickly to the BBC, its less than 24 hours that someone thought of this video and then to make the arrangements to get it to them, when they should have been concentrating on latest pictures for the world to know who exactly to look for.

Jon Corner - the friend and filmmaker who rather strangely videoed the parents in June - some footage of which was shown on the unflattering BBC Panorama programme - is now officially on the Fund's board of directors following the resignation of Kate's old school-friend Esther McVey, and one other.

Jon Corner's contribution included the most bizarre footage of Kate shown to date, and the odd shot of Gerry hunched over his PC with the voice-over explaining that he was 'searching for Madeleine'.

Now why would this good friend of the family and godfather to the twins choose to release to Panorama these rather eye-opening scenes? In the light of yesterday's revelation of discussions with a 'proper' film production outfit, (the ones who made Touching the Void) maybe he is a little miffed. If they burned his company in search of a better offer, he might have decided that "we were so into each other, you know?" and "whoosh, cluck" should be put out there. On the other hand if he is as lacking in self-awareness as G and K themselves, perhaps he didn't see any harm in any of the content of his viral video.
