Lest we forget, stranger abduction is a theory.

Yes, the only plausible, logicsl one and the one which three police forces from three different countries are pursuing to the exclusion of all other, lesser theories.

...And they've presented not a shred of tangible abduction evidence in the last 15 years, so we'll just have to take their word for it that Maddie was abducted.

No, I'll pass thanks.

Lest we forget, stranger abduction is a theory.

There really isn't any point in making the attempt to separate you from the amateurish original conceptions and Amaral's master class exhibition of how not to conduct a missing child investigation all outlined by him chapter and verse.

Like him ~ you have made your mind up and you are sticking with it.  That's fine; he no longer has any influence on the direction if Madeleine's investigation and you never had or are likely to have any either.

Best you cuddle into the comfort of your blanket of misconceptions and pithy sayings because I think from your point of view, the situation is about to get a lot worse, as already recognised by Amaral.

Tis amazing the number of times Amaral turns up in just about everything.

My opinion is that Amaral is the root and branch.  The information regarding Bruckner in the early stages of the case and which he was at pains to divulge gave me a lot of pause for thought as do his antics from 2019 onwards.

It is Eleanor…and he hasn’t even been relevant for 15 years.

True.  The only problem being that he keeps on sticking his oar in.

Someone is stuck in a time warp.

That post is way off the mark.

A significant piece of evidence which had sat there unobserved since 3rd May 2007 was revealed in the phone data present in the files.

The Portuguese judicial police could not be any clearer in their support of Madeleine's abduction - they have declared a named suspect for the crime.

And the media keep on listening. They seem to value his input even if others don’t.

I have been worried about Amaral for some considerable time.

Brueckner was somewhere within 20 odd miles of a phone mast.

What does that prove exactly?

Obviously the sceptic 'thinking' is that no-one should have bothered collecting inconvenient phone data evidence.  Like everything else pertaining to Madeleine's case all tried and tested investigative principals merely exist for sceptics to rubbish and Amaral to botch.

You could have just said 'nothing', would have saved a few key strokes.

Then, a year later, Brueckner brags to his criminal pal that 'he knows what happened to Maddie'

Real solid stuff, isn't it.

No it didn't OG painstakingly went through it all to get to the three locals, it obviously never raised suspicion, unless of course they went in with blinkers on and limited themselves to a tiny margin of time.

If there had been a flurry of phone activity between 8:30pm & 10:00pm, while Brueckner & his accomplice look out man were carrying out the pre-planned abduction, funded by Vladamir Putin,  that might have aroused suspicion.

But there wasn't.
