New German suspect in Madeleine McCann mystery disappearance.

[Mr Gray]

In 2007 CB was known to the authorities for stealing petrol. Not exactly notorious, was he?

Ive seen a report where at his trial in portugal he had to list his previous convictions for paedophilia...unfortunately it seems the normally highly competent portuguese forgot to record the crimes on his criminal record

[Mr Gray]

Also his mannerisms;

In relation to the video clips of Gerard McCann and the person I saw on 3rd May 2007 when I saw the BBC news at 10 PM on 9th September 2007 something struck me that it could have been the same person. It was the way Gerard McCann turned his head down which was similar to what the individual did on 3rd May 2007 when we met him. It may have been the way he was carrying the child either. I would be 60-80% sure that it was Gerard McCann that I met that night carrying a child. I am basing that on his mannerism in the way he carried the child off the plane.

I think its laughable to rely on mannerisms and the way he carried a child

[Anthro]

I think German police’s appeal to people who were in PdL on the evening of 3 May 2007 and who might recognise Brückner, to come forward so they can corroborate that he and his phone have been in the vicinity, not just his phone.

I'm completely open-minded about the motive.

What exactly has transpired during the last 4 weeks in terms of reliable evidence?

Nowt.

Martin Smith's emphasis was always on the man, not the child.

Perhaps if a sleeping three-year-old was placed in Brückner’s arms, and Mr Smith sees footage thereof, he may recognise CB as such? Only my thinking.

But why isn't it on PJ website?  And law enforcement websites of other countries whose citizens visit PDL?

Even if it could be proved CB and his phone were in PDL around the time MM went missing what would this prove?

Errm... could it be a little something the lead BKA investigator said...

And yet it contradicts with what the Mc's have to say on the matter:

In case it has missed your attention, the McCanns are not leading the investigation.

Sound about as competent as the UK police then who overlooked the pasts of Huntley and Sutcliffe.

German police’s evidence, albeit circumstantial?

I suppose if it could be conclusively proved that it was Brueckner's phone, police could look to see where else it might have been around that time.

May have already done that, of course, but if phone is a burner, might be difficult to pin down.

No but as the parents of the missing child I would like to think they're in the loop.

Who exactly is in charge of the investigation?

But I don't believe the type of phones available then, not even sure about today, can pinpoint a phone like GPS.  It can only provide an approx location based on radius of tel tower?
