If posters join a discussion one would hope it would be to contribute, not to accuse, impugn, and take the disussion off topic.
Did you have anything to say on the subject of whether there's evidence that a 'predatory paedophile' snatched Madeleine McCann? Do you know of any evidence that it was Christian Brueckner?
There is no connection between the 2007 interviews and Christian Brueckner or anyone fitting that profile or we would certainly have heard about it from you.
The author of the film, Gudrun Altrogge, also spoke exclusively with former companions of Christian B., who for the first time express themselves openly on TV.
They depict the abysses of a criminal who used his dropout life in the Algarve as a camouflage for countless crimes.
Björn R. is still shocked by the revelations surrounding Christian B.:
"He was one of my best friends for two years. I never expected him to have such a mess on his hands."
Among other things, he remembers that the police were also looking for clues to Christian B. in his apartment: "At 9 o'clock in the morning, the police were at the door.
Then, while I was getting an ashtray, I scrambled into the file.
And then I read that Christian is wanted for child... I couldn't believe it.
Until then, I thought it was about diesel theft and all the stealing. I didn't expect that."
And further: "If a person is so friendly and so helpful, he has taught his girlfriend to read and write, has always been helpful... You can't imagine that it also has such a dark side."https://www.presseportal.de/pm/6952/5130397Paedophiles and rapists don't walk around with huge signs hanging round their necks proclaiming that they are paedophiles and rapists.
As far as I know neither are they prone to walking into police stations to confess their crimes. They either have to be caught in the act. Or they are connected to their crimes by dogged police work building a case against them.
It seems apparent that back in 2007 Christian Brueckner came to the attention of the Portuguese police. If that is so it would be interesting to know why they eliminated him from their inquiry in those early days.
Brueckner first came to the attention of SY and the BKA around 2013. Then again in 2017 since when police investigative work has determined that he is the chief suspect in the disappearance of Madeleine McCann.
If Brueckner is charged with offences committed against Madeleine, whether or not he is responsible for what happened to her will be determined in a German court using the evidence investigators have coordinated against him over a period of years.
Everyone is just going to have to be patient until we see how that pans out.
