New German suspect in Madeleine McCann mystery disappearance.

[Mr Gray]

It was inevitable, Brückner is now fast becoming the fall guy for every mystery in western Europe.

there didn't seem to be much objection here when Amaral made the parents the fall guys...and perhaps the parents of joanna the fall guys. in this case I think at least we can expaect there will be no prosecutions or convictions without proper evidence and Bruckner wont be appearing looking like hes been ten rounds with Mike Tyson and confessed to all of them.

I think warning bells should have been ringing off the wall in Policia Judiciaria HQ when Madeleine went missing bearing in mind a little girl had gone missing just five miles up the road.
And who is to say they weren't and the coping strategy was less than solving what had happened and was more along the lines of covering it up.

What we found out from Kate's book and vigorously denied by apologists until they became ridiculous in their denials, is that there was a sexual predator on the loose in the Algarve who had a penchant for entering sleeping homes to assault little girls with impunity.

What we did not know until the news from Germany hit the news stands was the extent and variety of the sexual predation rampant in the Algarve at the time Joana and then Madeleine disappeared.  One victim has put it on record that she was advised that the attack on her was bad for the tourist industry.

It really doesn't matter how loudly those in denial shout out, it won't prevent them becoming a nasty footnote in history as the truth of the evil on the loose in the Algarve and the apparent lack of resolve to deal with it becomes more and more established as more information is revealed.

But she didn't go missing, her uncle killed her and freely admitted doing so. Yawn zzzzzz

[Mr Gray]

And the claim is he murdered Maddie despite not having been accused previously of such an offence.  This entire charade is based on some alleged conversation with a so-called pal.

Ian Huntley had no previous murder convictions....that means absolutely nothing....I certainly don't intend to dismiss it out of hand as you are until there is more information.

no one freely admits to murder

That was never going to happen anyway because it would have exposed the incompetence of The PJ.

Perhaps that is why he wasn't investigated.

How do you know that this is all a "charade"?
No one knows what evidence the police have.
He may have murdered before and not been caught.
You cannot know for sure.
He should be thoroughly investigated.

Exactly!

This is looking like a dead duck, Angelo.

Working on that basis you'd better investigate everybody

[Erngath]

No.
Only anyone with convictions for abusing children and violent rape who also lived in the area when those crimes were committed.

[Brietta]

I'm still opting for Innocent Until Proven Guilty.  It's hard sometimes but I shall stick with it.  Especially as I genuinely don't know.

That is the law, Eleanor, and if there is enough evidence to put him on trial he will be lawfully considered to be innocent until whether the charges are proven or not.  The courts will decide and not, thank the lord. the kangaroo court of the internet.

Going on his past record I would have imagined he fits to perfection the person who had the capability of abducting Madeleine and getting away with it.

If he did there remains a slight hope that she was taken to order and not for his proven usual purposes.  I don't think we will ever have a better opportunity to find out ... or a better candidate to point us in the right direction. 

[Eleanor]

The hypocrisy is bewildering at times.

[jassi]

Anyone with conviction or just him?
I thought that was what Grange did with their 600 persons of interest.

Madeleine will have been worth a few bob to the right people.  I shall continue to hope for this.

There may be current investigations into other violent rapists/paedophiles who were within the area where these crimes were committed.
If they are known to the police then of course they should be thoroughly investigated.
