New German suspect in Madeleine McCann mystery disappearance.

[barrier]

I can see it's a dilemma for those who are certain the McCanns are innocent. The emergence of a new prime suspect is to be welcomed, but the suggestion of death occurring in 2007 isn't. I see the press are trying to solve this problem by suggesting Madeleine was sold on.

Now ain't that the truth.

On the other hand the story can continue even if someone is convicted of abducting her. "The search" can continue, and so can the sales generated by the story.

True enough.
I was trying to view it from a supporters' viewpoint, rather than a commercial one

I would suggest the McCanns have been down this road a few times; quite possibly having been briefed on this miscreant previously.

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."

Was she offered a lesser charge for a confession?

'I KNOW he did it': Madeleine McCann suspect Christian Brueckner's friend says the drifter talked of selling children in Morocco

He said Brueckner, now 43, was 'definitely quite a strange character' who 'liked to brag about the crimes he had done and planned to do'. His aim was to steal as much money as he could until he reached his dream of having a million euros.

'It was rich pickings in Praia da Luz,' he said. 'He was always breaking into apartments in the area and bragging about it to me. He was a very good burglar and would easily climb up to first floor apartments when tourists were out.

'He would steal lots of money, valuables and so many passports. In fact hundreds of passports and lots of Rolexes and other expensive watches.'

Mr Tatschl said Brueckner hid his stolen loot in the rafters of his farmhouse, which overlooks Praia da Luz.

While he was in prison, the convicted sex offender asked a German friend to remove the haul from the rafters and keep it in a safe place so the police would not find it.

But the friend decided to keep the stolen valuables, Mr Tatschl said. The friend also found a video of Brueckner raping and beating an older woman while she was chained to a post.

Mr Tatschl said: 'That's how I found out he was sick. I told the police all about that. Christian was always on the dark web. I don't know exactly what he did but I suspect it involved drugs and pornography.

'He was always bragging about making money. He even talked about selling kids maybe to Morocco, and I think he probably sold Maddie to someone – maybe a sex ring.

How many ex friends does he have? the named, unnamed German that is.

....none of them decided any of this was pertinent at the time, which is odd.
Mr. Taschi doesn't even have a first name apparently. Maybe he's a karate guru who deploys unorthodox, but effective training techniques.

Perhaps the news on Madeleine's disappearance has only just reached certain quarters.

I have to agree that "it looks as though the Germans with the help of Scotland Yard have found the real culprit" and it certainly seems as if there are those who don't think he's too bad a chap.
Certainly not those who, as reported on the forum, were discussing on social media setting up a fund to pay for his defence.  Wonder how that went?

Yard have found the real culprit




Strange IMO a pedo goes to all that trouble to abduct a three-year-old - not really the norm is it. B

Although nearly four IIRC Maddie was small for her age.

It's not the norm to rape a 72 yr old.... What makes you think any sex crime is normal

Their usual victim is not a 3-year-old.

Not in any way I agree with it - but a 72-year-old is a grown-up - not a very small child/toddler
