Michael Tatschl

The reasons for believing this without some kind of corroboration, is?

It starts with the disclaimer "Now this member of the group wrote 2 comments which I have no way of verifying as to their truthfulness."

I'm hoping someone on the forum knows more than I do.

Looks odd. When he was announced as the prime  suspect he was in prison so how could he be living in this town

It is this guy talking about Michael Tatschl.   Christian B hasn't come into the story as yet.

Within weeks of three-year-old Madeleine’s abduction Christian B followed him to Orgiva, Andalucia.

Tatschl said: “In late May or early June he arrived in Spain with his big American camper van. He knew I had connections to the marijuana world and could help him make money.

“We just thought he was a pervert but didn’t think he liked young children.”

Hi Davel, I also want to know. Apparently a Winnebago is fairly expensive and his friends commented on that. As far as I know, he went back to Germany during late May 2007. I need to confirm this with a citation, which I will do tomorrow.

I think that I read that as well, but I can't remember where.

Was that the same big American camper van he was allegedly driving in Foral?

"in the early part of 2007 when Brueckner arrived in a large cream-coloured Winnebago campervan with Hanover licence plates."

Wasn't it about then he was allegedly driving (and living in) a yellow and white camper van? How many vehicles did he have, and why didn't the police include the Winnebego in their appeal?

I think so, since Nicole Fehlinger’s father, Dieter said Brückner told him he could hide drugs and small children in his vehicle. He had access to many vehicles and his friend from Foral who owned a scrapyard at the time, Bernard Piro, borrowed him the white with yellow campervan. The Winnebago was found in Germany, Neuwegersleben where Brückner  used to live when German police were investigating Inga Gehricke’s murder case.

So while people were wondering if they saw a yellow and white camper van he could have been driving a Winnebago? Seems like the German police overlooked that possibility in their appeal.

"When I saw the (NETFLIX) documentary, a few days before the police questioned me, I immediately knew that he was guilty," he reiterated. "When a female tourist talked about a man appearing at her door while her son was playing on the floor in front of the door - the description being that of a scary man with acne and blond hair - I knew it was Christian."
Michael Tatschl, now the father of a child, explained that the last time he was in Portugal was in February 2007, just a few months before Madeleine's disappearance. “I returned to Praia da Luz in February 2007 and found Christian camped near the city. He was loving it and I think he sold drugs. I stayed with him for a while and then I returned to Spain ”.

I can’t find any mention of this incident. Do you have a cite ?

From what I read so far is I think Michael Tatschl suffers from bad memory.   There was the incident with the English lady who was approached by a man who was pretending to be an orphanage collector.  I was thinking of Gail Cooper, but there appears to have been another as per this article.  https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/510625/Police-told-conman-tried-to-take-girl-weeks-before-Maddie

Gail Cooper doesn't describe CB.  http://www.mccannpjfiles.co.uk/PJ/GAIL_COOPER.htm

It sounds like CB had the Winnebago in late 2006 yet Michael mentions it in May 2007.  "Brueckner was always on the dark web and he’d talk about selling kids. In late May 2007 he turned up in an expensive van. I wondered at the time where he had got the money..."

The recollections don't seem to match.

"Van used by suspect in Madeleine McCann case ‘sold for scrap’"  https://www.heraldscotland.com/news/18530238.van-used-suspect-madeleine-mccann-case-sold-scrap/

There was a Bedford van as well as the VW one.

Thank you Rob, that’s the only two I could find and neither describe a blond man with a pockmarked face. Perhaps Brietta could clarify ?
