New German suspect in Madeleine McCann mystery disappearance.

[faithlilly]

Agree. They guy could be a serial rapist / drug trafficker / burglar, but still may not have been responsible for Madeleine's disappearance.

Hence, perhaps, the appeal for further information to either include or exclude him.

Agreed but after three years of investigation that they are only now asking these questions is rather odd.

I would say that's because they've  hit a brick wall and hope that this appeal will knock a hole in it.

This is very interesting - https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8387125/New-Madeleine-McCann-suspect-discussed-online-chatroom-years-later.html

Perhaps there will be a lot of people coming forward with information,  this could trigger a lot of memories.

[Brietta]

No, it doesn’t.

Why is it used against them, that they played Tennis and went jogging? What would constitute normal behaviour in those circumstances?

Sorry I couldn't begin to answer that.  But you can.  You did post it up, after all.  Why did you use it against them when you claim you really don't know much about it?

[Brietta]

Trolls GA Sceptics etc etc etc etc. you continue to blame well

Can you imagine if this man took her what Maddie would have gone through what her fate was - can you.

Because she was left to her fate by the mccS - This is why you don't leave children unattended,

Never mind the mccs - what did Maddie go through B

Do you think it is too soon to open a Go Fund Me defence account for the criminal in German custody?

I think there’s been a misunderstanding I didn’t use it against them, I was responding to another poster who suggested it. I was trying to see it from the McCanns point if view.

One of the houses, 'Escola Velha' or 'Old School' (in Monte Judeu on the EM535-1) in which the alleged German suspect was holed up for a period (attached). The house has been extended and a clerestory added since 2007.

The same house in the centre of the Google photo. Scroll forwards for a closer StreetView or backwards several times for a more extensive bird's-eye view to see the built-up Praia da Luz in the bottom left-hand corner...

Probably best to wait until he's charged.

Agreed but after three years of investigation that they are only now asking these questions is rather odd.

Not necessarily.

From Misty's link, it seems he's only recently been convicted of the lady's rape, although it's not entirely clear if the article refers to an appeal hearing or not. (I had read somewhere unverifiable that he'd been convicted in latish 2018, hence my query.)

Brunswick. A 72-year-old was raided in her home 14 years ago. The 43-year-old denies in the Braunschweig evidence process that he is the culprit.

I find it possible that the police wanted to get one case done and dusted (the lady's rape) without noise from another one (the potential Madeleine connection).

The fact that he is now definitely behind bars may also be an incentive for potential witnesses to feel safer in coming forward.

[Carana]

I wonder where he was when Joana disappeared...

[Mr Gray]

I wonder where he was when Joana disappeared...

thats a very interesting question...but will anyone be interested in answerring it.

[barrier]

The Germans are reportedly saying they believe Madeleine is dead,is this because of his modus operandi,meanwhile OG still say they have no definitive evidence either way,bit of a disconnect between the two investigations,also have Grange handed it over with this really being the last throw of the dice.

I have read that his name was put forward by a friend after they had watched a programme on the 10th anniversary of Madeleine’s disappearance. The friend was also shown video of the rape at the same time. I really can’t believe that the German police would prioritise an investigation into a rape over, what could have been, an alive, disappeared child.

No,give it a go anyhoo see how it goes...

It would be a kind gesture if the McCanns held up the remaining 'fund' money as a reward for information to the arrest and imprisonment of this 'monster' who has already been forgiven by Kate a few days after the event.  They wouldn't need it after all if the case is closed.
