German Prosecutor has no plans to charge Christian Bruckner.

All known paedos should have been checked out straight away as a matter of course, it’s normal for police to do this when young children go missing for any length of time, it’s standard police procedure, I’m not sure why youwould object to it frankly.

What do you mean by 'checked out' what do you suppose the police Do? Despatch all units & start kicking down the front doors of everyone who molested a child a decade prior?

It's none of the Police business where Brueckner was or what he was or wasn't doing on May 3rd or any other day. He's under no obligation to answer to anything. The onus is on the three expert investigative forces to prove he abducted Maddie & they're not going to be doing that anytime in the foreseeable future.

You seem to be completely ignorant about the role of the police and how and why  they go about gathering evidence and intelligence, in fact your post makes no sense.  If the onus is on the police to prove CB abducted Madeleine then it absolutely IS their business to find out where he was on the 3rd May and what he was doing.  You going a bit barmy in your old age Spammy?

It's none of their business in as much as Brueckner has to tell them nothing. The idea that the PJ could have interrogated him along with all the convicted sex offenders in southern Portugal is the stuff of fantasy.

They could have started by asking the local lowlifes if the immediate area if had any information about the missing girl.  They could have asked them if they could have a look around their premises and if they refused then that might be seen as grounds for suspicion and further action taken, such as surveillance or a search warrant.  This is not beyond the scope of normal investigative procedures.  You seem to think that unless a note is left behind in the child’s bed saying hello, this child was taken by a paedo that the police should not bother checking them out at all which is damn bizarre.  If your young child disappears in the night from her bedroom where do you want the police concentrating their efforts then?

On the person(s) who saw them last. That seems the most sensible place to start.

According to Amaral Brueckner was on police radar.

They looked for him.

They didn't find him.
 
In the midst of the search for a missing child a known sex offender with a conviction for assaulting a little girl disappears from his usual  haunts and the police didn't bother to follow through on their investigation of him to eliminate him from their inquiry.

Obviously nobody wondered where he was. Probably because as Amaral told us in the first chapter of his book that his suspicion was focused on the mother not focused on paedophiles although the files tell us he had a good bash at turning a British resident into one.

So that would be you then.  Whilst your child is God knows where you want the police to be solely focussed on you, not on any other possibility even though you know you had nothing to do with her disappearance?  How long before you would expect them to stop investigating you and what would you expect them do do next?  Just give up?

It's just as well he didn't waste resources trying to find someone who clearly wasn't involved, given the absolute black void of evidence confirmed by HCW.
So there's that, but feel free to keep bleating on about it.

There's still a few stoic MACA here who refuse to acknowledge burden of proof and presumption of innocence.
They naively think that persons of interest and suspects have to explain anything, but it seems it's OK when Kate, quite rightly, keeps her trap shut (probably for the best).
Been watching too many Matlock re-runs while sat there knitting scarves for non-existent loved ones.

You two are talking trash.  No one has said they expect suspects to explain themselves but all suspects should be questioned, unless you can give me a good reason why you think they shouldn’t?

More complete trash from you, you continue to disappoint.  I thought you were intelligent?  How is CB “clearly not involved”?  What evidence has cleared him of involvement?  What evidence could have been gathered had he been properly investigated in the first place?  If there was a black void of evidence how is it that he was made an arguido?  Did the Germans insist that Portugal make him one off the back of nothing at all?  Do you think they just stuck a pin in a list of local paedos and said “he’ll do”?  Absolute nonsense you two are spouting.

I've asked you before what evidence is there do you think?
As for the pin sticking exercise - we are on Hobo No. 2 now.

But back to the evidence, feel free to speculate (Hobo Hearsay is excluded as it's been proven to be more than useless in a German court).

Except Kate, of course.
