New German suspect in Madeleine McCann mystery disappearance.

[Mr Gray]

I agree, Davel. I think German police may refer to images of child abuse etc on a USB stick they found hidden under animal bones at a box factory in 2016 when they were looking for Inga Gehrike. Brückner had lived in his caravan at this box factory in Germany in 2016. Perhaps images of Madeleine were found on this stick which make them say they have proof of death but no forensic evidence in the sense of physical evidence?

That would certainly fit... And he has a history of taking photographs

It was reported a letter was sent to the McCanns that said police had 'concrete' evidence she was dead.
This was all over The Mail, Sky news, Mirror etc, but apparently it is not true.

'Madeleine McCann parents: Reports we received letter from German authorities about her death 'false'
Kate and Gerry McCann said the reports had "caused unnecessary anxiety to friends and family and once again disrupted our lives"
In a statement, Kate and Gerry McCann said the reports had "caused unnecessary anxiety to friends and family and once again disrupted our lives".

"The widely reported news that we have a received a letter from the German authorities that states there is evidence or proof that Madeleine is dead is FALSE," they wrote.
"As we have stated many times before, we will not give a running commentary on the investigation - that is the job of the law enforcement agencies and we will support them in any way requested."

It had been reported that a German prosecutor had written to the McCanns telling them he has "concrete evidence" that Madeleine is dead.

It was claimed that Hans Christian Wolters had told the parents that he has no doubt their daughter is dead, but he refused to tell them why.

He reportedly told them that to reveal the evidence would jeopardise his investigation into the German suspect known as Christian B.''.

This is fast becoming one almighty farce imo. Who is putting out these fake stories and why?

[Mr Gray]

According to the parents they have had no correspondence with the German police.

Kate & Gerry McCann Statement: June 16th 2020
Since the recent police appeals regarding Madeleine’s disappearance there have been many inaccurate stories reported in the media. The widely reported news that we have a received a letter from the German authorities that states there is evidence or proof that Madeleine is dead is FALSE. Like many unsubstantiated stories in the media, this has caused unnecessary anxiety to friends and family and once again disrupted our lives.
As we have stated many times before, we will not give a running commentary on the investigation- that is the job of the law enforcement agencies and we will support them in any way requested. Furthermore, we do not have a family spokesperson nor are we actively paying any lawyers. Any recent comments attributed in the media have not come from us unless they have been posted on our website. If there are important developments that can be made public, they will be issued through official police channels.
Kate and Gerry

Apologies I now see that this has been posted already.

As I said yesterday,  having followed this case for a long time... Nothing in the papers... Even if it looks like a direct quote... Can be relied upon to be true.  It's a matter of reading between the lines

This is fast becoming one almighty farce imo. Who is putting out these fake stories and why?

 I don't know. I think some of it comes from the UK misunderstanding the German prosecutor. That wouldn't explain quotes attributed to Clarence Mitchell and the McCann's lawyer though....now they are saying,

'Furthermore, we do not have a family spokesperson nor are we actively paying any lawyers. Any recent comments attributed in the media have not come from us unless they have been posted on our website'

[Eleanor]

No. Suggesting that they are being ambiguous.

Aren't we all?

The newspapers are probably responsible for all of them... To sell papers.  I don't think it can be doubted something important is happening and it looks like the abduction theiry was spot on

Mark Rowley then an assistant commissioner to the MET in answer to Brunt 2017:

Q: There was a report recently that there was an international manhunt in regards to a person you
were interested in talking to, maybe not even a suspect, maybe a witness?


MR: There are odd headlines and odd stories in newspapers on a regular basis and most of those are
nonsense.

That's that then. Nothing in the newspapers about the McCanns can be believed. Is their lawyer pressing on unpaid?

Mr Alves said he will be meeting the Policia Judiciaria this week to find out if they are going to start actively investigating the case again.

“I will try to find out what information they have that can support the reopening of the file here,” he said...

“According to Portuguese law, if the prosecutor has new information about the crime he should reopen it.

“I don’t know how strong the new evidence is so I don’t know what the prosecutor is going to do

When did the Portuguese stop investigating the case then?

[faithlilly]

Aren't we all?

Someone has to be lying.

The parents say they don’t have a spokesperson but we have seen Mitchell in all his glory talking to ITV to all the world as if he’s still their spokesperson.

Exactly I also said this a couple of days ago, its really concerning - why they are doing this and whos behind it

Did they ever start?

Well, I have tried to refrain from saying something - but I just can't get over them saying this. F.G.S.

Nothing wrong with that imo.  As you don't like the McCanns it's no surprise to me you want to criticise just about everything they say...

[Mr Gray]

SKY... ITV... Are commercial stations... It's all about viewing figures and has been for 13 years
