New German suspect in Madeleine McCann mystery disappearance.

[Mr Gray]

The only jurisdiction the Germans have is that the alleged suspect is apparently a German national.

It seems that's all they need... He's already been prosecuted and jailed for another crime committed in Portugal

[Angelo222]

We are talking the GERMAN police here.
In case you missed it ... the investigation involves German - Portuguese and English cops and the German suspect in the German prison has quite a record which includes burglary.

Amaral made an idiot of himself when he immediately ruled out illicit entry to the McCann apartment and tried his level best to make liars of Madeleine's parents as a result.
The pigeons have come home to roost on that one ... but you know that already.

Maybe this chappie run her over in his campervan or jaguar car and carried her off.

Here In the real world, I don’t think there is much chance of you being paid for your moderation.

But I heartily agree with your assessment of the Bamber forum.

I find that - whichever side or none that anyone may be on -  Eleanor has been a rock.

[Mr Gray]

Yes

I don't see that... Cite

[Erngath]

They were responsible for her and had a duty of care. They failed.

As the parents of all abducted/murdered children have failed in their duty of care, in your opinion?

Ah! Many thanks, Misty. 

So a huge legal mess over jurisdiction.

Possibly the Statute of Limitations for rape crimes in Portugal meant that a conviction could not be secured there?

[Mr Gray]

Maybe this chappie run her over in his campervan or jaguar car and carried her off.

Looks like all your theories could be going up in smoke

[Carana]

Yes

He appeared to be reporting from a private home on Sky this morning.

[misty]

I understand there will be a German press conference with more details at noon today.

[Carana]

The crime for which  he is currently serving a sentence in Germany was apparently committed in Portugal.
So the Germans have had jurisdiction for that crime?

See Misty's link a page or so ago.

[Mr Gray]

They were responsible for her and had a duty of care. They failed.

Looks like ameral  did too

I don't see that... Cite

I saw the Sky News report yesterday and he wasn't reporting from his front room.

[Angelo222]

As the parents of all abducted/murdered children have failed in their duty of care, in your opinion?

Certainly not, only those stupid parents who go off wining and dining while leaving their kids alone in unsecured holiday accommodation.

[Angelo222]

He appeared to be reporting from a private home on Sky this morning.

He's back obviously.

[Carana]

Perhaps his fingerprints match the unknown ones in the apartment?
We do not know that they don't have any evidence!

Not sure about fingerprints - as several were described as smudged or otherwise unexploitable.

There are, however, numerous mtDNA samples which didn't correspond to any person* known to the investigation at the time.

*MtDNA doesn't identify an individual, just a general grouping. If the mtDNA of an individual belongs to a different group, then it excludes the individual.
