An Inept Investigation?

[jassi]

If he were ever arrested, charged, prosecuted.

Doesn't seem to be much of that going on.

Even then, he doesn't actually need an alibi - it's not an offence not to have one.

I certainly don't remember where I was when Kennedy was assassinated, nor when Churchill died.

I think it very much depends on whether the event is of any personal importance.

I remember parts of 9/11 because that was hugely significant, 2000+ people dying & the possible threat of further attacks. (1 little girl disappearing just isn't comparable when you have no connection to the child)

I was at work, went to a friends house in the evening. Watched the blanket coverage.

No idea what I was doing in the days before or after.

It was on the national news quite heavily because the victim was a child.

Within hours of ithe murder occurring was it on rolling news, with the world’s media filling your town?  Was it on a Madeleine McCann scale?

You’re missing the point entirely.  It’s less about the event and more about the scale of the reaction to it and/or how it i pacts on the locale in  which you live.  If you live in a small town and it suddenly becomes the focus of intense police and media interest that would make it an extraordinary and memorable day wouldn’t it?

It didn't make international news but was front page national news the day of the killing & was reported for some time after.

Maybe as a woman you personally were more interested by the McCann case through maternal instincts.

But personally, as a man, I don't give a shit about kids myself.

I don't suppose Brueckner had a television in his camper van.

No.

The national media were all over my local park the day of the killing.

Still not the slightest idea what I did though.

[jassi]

As an aside, but relevant, is Brueckner fluent in Portuguese ?

[Wonderfulspam]

I don't suppose Brueckner had a television in his camper van.

He may not have a watched TV or listened to the radio that day. Or even ventured out of his paedo dungeon.

Social media was in it's infancy & many people didn't have internet access on their phones either.

The images found on Brueckner's memory stick were found post 2007 so, did he even have a computer then either?  Especially since he lived like a bit of a vagrant.

I'm not really interested in what anyone else thinks... I think it's important and that's all that matters... It seems Wolters thinks it is too

I've lost track. What is it that you think is important?

No amount of Wolters thinking is going to secure conviction.

So you think a young female child missing from about a mile away... Would not be of interest to a convicted paedo..
Knowing the police might come knocking on his door

I think he would have followed the story closely

So you think a young female child missing from about s milee away... Would not be of interest to a convicted paedo..
Knowing the police might come knocking on his door

Might be a way of life for people like him - 'round up the usual suspects'

[Mr Gray]

No alibi could be very important.. Like in the Gilroy case... The fact Gilroy could not account for his movements for a whole day was seen as very significant
