New German suspect in Madeleine McCann mystery disappearance.

Yes, there were a couple of hiccups over some of the pings. However, this seems a bit different in that it apparently concerns a half-hour phone call, i.e. not just a ping.

Will duration make any difference, as there would be the same number of towers to aid location ?

I don't know how it works in Portugal but in the UK investigators have access to cell site analysis and tel comm data from the network provider unless obviously PAYG.

Has anyone carried out due diligence checks on this lawyer?  Ie is he bona fide?

No result on the above.

All we seem to know for the moment is that one of the phones "almost certainly his" was in the PdL vicinity when the other number called it.

A caveat, obviously, is that even if it was his phone, it doesn't mean that he was necessarily the person using it at the time.

If I'm not mistaken, getting access to all cell site analysis and tel comm data in the vicinity was one of the aspects of Grange's plod work.

The Prosecutor has said as much. Somewhere ( I can't remember where exactly) he said the reason they were seeking witnesses about the phone calls was so they could confirm that Bruckner was the one who answered the call  in Praia. Sounds like they can't place him near the town that night 100% to secure charges imo.

I'm taking it all with a pinch of salt but I thought the tabloids claimed the caller had now been identified?

Wasn’t it established that a girlfriend of his had the phone ?

OG commenced Jul 13.  How long is data held?  What about different laws on accessing personal data across different jurisdictions?

Media said that but not sure who told them.  Is it reliable ?

The tabloids have claimed alot over the ensuing years,like Rowley says,most of it is nonsense,sorting the wheat from the chaff is up to grange,I employ them through my tax's.

More nonsense from sky?

''German investigators want to retest a mystery saliva sample found in the holiday apartment from where Madeleine McCann went missing.

Portuguese forensic tests on the sample apparently found no DNA match to the new suspect, German drifter Christian B.

But the German authorities believe their scientists should carry out their own tests because the sample - thought to have been found on Madeleine's bed - is potentially vital evidence and they hope they can match it to their suspect.

But the Portuguese police (PJ) are unlikely to send the sample, partly because of recent criticism by the German prosecutor Hans Christian Wolters.

He said last week the PJ still believed that Madeleine's parents were responsible for their daughter's disappearance from the apartment in Praia da Luz in 2007. The PJ ruled them out as suspects in 2008.

It is understood the German authorities would apply the same forensic techniques as the Portuguese.
There may also be legal restrictions that would not allow the sample to be sent abroad for retesting in such circumstances.

In 2012, Scotland Yard detectives visited a Portuguese forensic laboratory when they were about to launch their own investigation and their request to retest hairs found in the apartment was turned down.''
