New German suspect in Madeleine McCann mystery disappearance.

[misty]

I can understand why this one wants to shut down any suggestion that Christian Brueckner or any other predatory criminal might have been involved in Madeleine's kidnapping that it has driven him out from whatever rock he has been hiding under of late.

The former inspector of the PJ considers that Christian Brueckner, the German man appointed as a formal suspect in the case, is "a scapegoat" because it is necessary "a figure that fits the profile to take the blame".

It doesn't matter who the pedophile is. What we have been watching over the years is that pedophiles appear, it is necessary to have a figure that, due to the profile, due to the proximity, that fits to take the blame " , he stressed.

For Gonçalo Amaral, the suspect, who is imprisoned in Germany, is, in fact, "the almost perfect suspect".

He is an almost perfect suspect, he just needs one thing to be perfect, which is to be dead ", he stressed.

IMO Amaral is attempting to rewrite evidential history as he appears to be claiming the Germans have either tested the wrong vehicle or manipulated photos of it as it appeared in 2007.
 I wonder how the INML managed to separate the mother's DNA in the breast milk from the baby's DNA in the saliva back in 2007?

I didn't know that, Misty.  I thought they had only found Charlie's saliva back then.

I've got to admit to wondering the how and why of Amaral's photo detailing a different van for Christian Brueckner than the ones we have seen.
Gets more interesting by the minute.

AAAAHH ... I get you now Misty.  I hadn't watched the attached video because I don't have Portuguese.  He certainly is fine tuning the evidential history to suit his narrative.  And doesn't the interviewer  look most uncomfortable as he appears to try to jog him into 2020 with the rest of us.

The old friend probably doesn't want to be incriminated in a crime he played no part.
I'm more interested in the people desperate to prove CB wasn't involved in Madeleine's abduction.

Two issues here.

Firstly, I think you'll find the onus is on those accusing CB to prove he was actually involved.

And secondly, what abduction?

Amaral is now claiming the sample is baby's saliva containing breast milk so there would have been 2 sets of DNA present if 2 different body fluids were identified.
I must admit to having flashbacks of the Leonor Cipriano photoshop affair upon seeing the doodling adorning the van.

[faithlilly]

Something similar to the Ciprianos or little Mariana I would imagine.

What murder ? You do know they don’t do deals in Portugal, don’t you ?

Firstly I think you'll find the German police have to complete their investigation before they decide whether or not to question CB.
Secondly, the worst-case stranger abduction scenario the Germans are currently pursuing - the outcome no-one would have wanted.

Really? Which ex-PJ Inspector who must have known Portuguese law wrote this?
*snipped*
"For hours, the questions followed one another, and Kate reached emotional peaks several times. A confession is proposed to her, with the explanation that the penal context is more favourable in such cases. This is done to ensure that an exit is offered to a person who is feeling trapped.

The entire situation is explained, so the potential criminal does not feel that there are still secrets in store that could compromise him or her.

Madeleine's mother is confronted with everything that there is, for eight hours. All the inconsistencies in the witness statements, the timings of the alleged checks on the apartments, the drinks that were consumed at dinner. She did not give in. She was even indignant about certain questions. She never broke or recognized any guilt, except for the one that she felt about leaving her children alone in the apartment while she went to dinner."

Amazing that not only is Amaral continuing to promote the flawed narrative which set the police off on entirely the wrong tack ... he is continuing to embellish it.

In 2007 he had an excuse.  The Court seems to have been remiss in passing on Brueckmer's history of child sexual offences, so easy to have overlooked him particularly if you weren't looking for someone like him.

Absolutely no excuse now in the light of present revelations regarding Bruekner and his acceptance that he fits the profile of the guy he should have been looking for in 2007, Amaral is continuing his myopic bungling and name calling.

The painted van is a classic I think.  Ranking alongside the old lady and the cremation saga.  It will be interesting to see how or if the story of Amaral's input develops.  I don't 'do' twitter but from what I know it should be wild later on today.

[Brietta]

Amaral did know about Brueckner's sordid past in 2007.  Unbelievable!

Snip

Pressed on what Portuguese police knew about Brueckner's past around the time Madeleine disappeared, he appeared to admit Algarve authorities were aware of his 1994 teenage sexual conviction for molesting a six-year-old girl by confessing: 'At the time all we knew was that this man was a paedophile.'

I'm pretty sure Joana Morais will provide an English transcipt of the TVI interview for us on Twitter in the near future. The Daily Mail has reported that Amaral seemed to confess that the PJ knew CB was a paedophile during their initial investigation into Madeleine's disappearance. Perhaps that information was filed in the same place as Dr. Totman's.

So The perfect suspect is found,just can't pin the tail on this particular Donkey though,but the Lead investigators the brit press have him nailed on as a cert,still no charges yet,won't be long,just need the press to finish their investigations.

Not just the Brit press - I wonder how the McCanns managed to convince the PT press (and the rest of the world’s press) to go down this alley as well.  Must be being funded by the High-Ups, or perhaps Boris has leant on them.   Still, it won’t be long before the McCanns are banged up for body occultation annd you and Amaral will be vindicated.  Tick-tock...

You’ve said no one else knew that the parents routinely left Madeleine alone in the evenings despite also knowing full well that the restaurant staff knew this as well.  Why?

I went over all this when I was posting regularly on MM. 

The restaurant staff knew the children were not present.  Some or all of the staff may have had knowledge of the entry in the reservations book about parents checking on children but this wouldn't necessarily mean a sitter and/or monitor wasn't in situ and they certainly wouldn't know 5a was unsecured.

Wedded to my theory as it ticks all the boxes 

[Holly Goodhead]

I don't know, call me retarded, but this prick would literally stand out like a throbbing beacon in the midst of a missing little girl search. In a little town like Luz he'd be getting fingered by every man jack. Let's get it right, even the travelling hobo guitar matted hair man caught heat. The dude who fixed computers got the shepherd's crook. The kid in the supermarket got grief. Every itinerant within a 10 mile radius got shook down.
Don't tell me this dodgy, grimy nonce didn't get his collar felt several times. Don't come here with that shit. Not today.

My sentiments exactly but I don't have your way with words!
