IB did. No charges against CB, just lots of suspicion.
At the time referred to in my post the child rapist and murderer Brady's crimes were unknown. Brueckner's propensity to commit violent crimes against women and children is a matter of record even before Madeleine's abduction and consists only of that which he was caught doing.
"Suspicion" hardly comes into it as far as I can see. The German prosecutor has evidence against Brueckner gathered over a period of years and the only suspicion I harbour about that is wonderment about those who are in denial and feel the need to publicly throw their hats into the ring alongside his.
I think it risible that a criminal known to associates as 'the climber' because of his skills is deemed by sceptics as having difficulty entering or exiting a a property with a ground floor window.
I think it risible that a criminal who made a living from burglary would have failed to notice people entering a property via a patio door the design of which ensured it could only be locked from the inside.
One of the main attributes granted to human beings is their skill of learning from their mistakes. Unfortunately McCann sceptics prove there are those who are incapable of acquiring that particular skill. Which is amply demonstrated by their replication of the 2007 ignoring of a paedophile like Brueckner or another with his skill set living in plain sight while every obstacle is put in place to thwart the parents of a missing child in their search for her and to cause as much distress to them as is inhumanly possible to do.
Brueckner or someone with a matching profile did this and sceptics are doing today much as they did in 2007 with perfect examples of "plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose" fuelled by their stranger abduction denial. All when it was possible that over the years at least one collector and perpetrator of vicious attacks on children recorded on his private memory sticks could have been removed from the equation.
Imagine the mindset which allows that for I cannot.
Brady did not drive a car and only had an audio cassette tape recorder to work with ~ imagine what a pervert such as he was could have accomplished if he had had the resources available to a Brueckner.
