Why now?

[pathfinder73]

I really, really don’t get this.

If Brueckner is guilty of Madeleine’s abduction then she is almost certainly dead, and in the most horrific circumstances. It is the worse outcome for anyone interested in the case. Surely we should all be hoping against hope that this man is not the abductor ? Why is a young child’s death being used to settle old scores ?

He certainly is not guilty without evidence. He went through the window but left no trace. He had a distinctive campervan that nobody spotted

I hope against hope that Maddie still alive but it's unlikely.  Maddies fate is determined and we can't change it.  In that respect I hope this man isn't guilty... But he may well be. We have to wait and see what happens next.

A pragmatic approach.

What evidence rules him out then?

Prosecutors look for evidence to prosecute,which is clearly lacking here,hence the appeals.

[Vertigo Swirl]

I have read more on this case in the last few days than I have in the last few years, so i'd be the first to admit I'm not an expert on it.

I have no idea whether the new suspect is the "right guy" or not, but his extensive list of exceedingly  nasty "form", together with the fact that the German police are very interested, does, at least, ring some alarm bells.

I cannot understand the continuing bad feeling towards Kate and Gerry McCann. As far as I can see, there has never been any evidence that they had anything to do with Madeleine's disappearance. Why on earth would they have wanted the case kept in the public eye all these years, if they had anything to hide?

I thought "victim blaming" was a big "no no"  these days. As far as I can see, the McCanns are victims, as they  lost their child.  I realise they did make a mistake in leaving their children alone, but they are not the only parents to have done so.  Very few have to serve a life sentence as a result, as they are having to do.

You haven’t answered the question.  You have decided he’s about as likely to have committed the crime as a dead monk from the 19th century.  That means you must have some very strong evidence to convince you that he didn’t do it.  What is it?

Maybe it''s because of that glaring absence of any real abduction evidence, save for the fact that Maddie disappeared.

Simples,no one has any concrete evidence he entered 5a,until such time,I'll maintain his presumption of innocence,knocked her down and disposed of is another matter.

Again, you are missing the point.  Your previous statement comparing his likely involvement with that of Rasputin would seem to me to indicate that you think the likelihood of his involvement is close to zero.  Would you say the same about Gerry McCann, being as likely as Rasputing to have hidden her body?

The Portuguese press broke the news that Christian Brueckner was given the information by an Ocean Club employee that the McCann apartment was left unlocked.

Ocean Club employee reported McCann habits to suspect Maddie's abduction
08:37 by  SATURDAY0
PJ and the German police identify an employee who told Brueckner that English couples left valuable assets in their homes.

The suspect's goal was to carry out a robbery, but he saw the children and decided to take the older one.

Christian Brueckner's mobile phone number has been in the process since 2007.
It is one of the devices that were activated in the vicinity of the village where Maddie disappeared, but only after Brueckner told a German friend that he knew what had happened to the English girl is that the PJ managed to connect the contact.
A former employee of the Ocean Club, in Praia da Luz, in Lagos, had it on his personal agenda and revealed who it belonged to: a 30-year-old German, who lived nearby and had no known profession.

Again, I always suspected this was done with the help of an insider tip-off.

As more information becomes available it couldn't be made any clearer that Scotland Yard took exactly the right course of action when they interviewed burglars and Ocean Club employees as part of their investigative strategy.

That was the profile they were working to because they knew the evidence was that Madeleine had been abducted.

Correio da Manhã have also picked up on the importance of the phone calls made in the village that night.  One only has to read the files to see whose phones and whose calls commanded the absolute attention of the Portuguese investigation.

People use mobile phones every day, that doesn't mean that Maddie was abducted.

[kizzy]

I would be.  But then there has been far too much of that associated with The PJ.

We can only be thankful that it didn't happen to Kate McCann.

I didn't think that would happen for one minute there were too many people involved - the mccs made sure of that

[sadie]

There is no evidence of a burglar or anybody going through the bedroom window as he reportedly used. You cannot convict somebody without evidence!

Where does it say that CK CB went thru the window of 5A ?   Have you made that up ?
