Mark Williams-Thomas making new three part crime series for Ch5.

[Brietta]

The name Mandy comes to mind 

Actually the name put into the frame by none other than Goncalo Amaral is his own - certainly caused my ears to prick up.

[misty]

And you think that's Brueckner's doing ?

Yes, I do. His various outbursts over the Madeleine case finally brought him to police's attention and, subsequently, his friends & associates over the years.

Maybe, but I don't see how him remaining silent re an alibi has any bearing on peripheral investigations.

Because they've got nothing on anyone else if he doesn't say he wasn't involved in something else?

Now, that might sound confusing, but we're dealing with people who believe Joana was abducted, so it's apparently not unreasonable for reality to be stretched beyond credulity.

[Angelo222]

What are you basing all this fluff on?

Fluff

One member even thought Joana and Maddie were out for a dander together in the Rif Mountains. Apologies in advance Sadie.

So someone has spent money putting this MWT series together. They have travelled to Portugal and to Germany. I wonder if it will still be shown if Brueckner is charged in the meantime? Either they know he's not going to be charged before it's shown, or they're taking a chance. Maybe MWT has contacts keeping him informed on the progress of the German case.

If the programme makers know for a fact he won’t be charged I’m sure that information would have also been leaked alongside  the alibi leak don’t you?

Thanks for bringing it up Angelo.

The little girl being carried WAS Madeleine.   She was DEFINITELY NOT Bushra

 ...  and the little girl walking was almost certainly Joana Cipriano.  The inner lower leg muscles , the ankle/foot shape and the domed temples gave her away.



I have a keen eye when it comes to portraiture and also to figure shape.   Seems you don't.






 

[The General]

Maybe because CB has been quite whingeingly vocal about all the injustice heaped upon his shoulders?

I think he's entitled to feel a little aggrieved, having been identified as having abducted and killed a child by a member of the judiciary and not actually charged.
So there's bemoaning the seeming injustice and probable illegality of being outed, and then there's keeping your powder dry under legal counsel.

Oh Riley!... I've got an extremely super-duper keen eye when it comes to identification and she is MOST DEFINITELY NOT Madeleine McCann, SOZ!...

If he wanted this to all go away he could, via his lawyer, provide the German authorities with details of his alibi which they would then be duty bound to check out.  If the alibi stacks up the heat is off him and he can relax and enjoy his time behind bars instead of having to bust a gut to come up with more witty cartoons to send to the media.  Maybe he secretly enjoys all the attention.

Madeleine's parents agreed with you that it wasn't her, and they should know. That's also why the Germans can't use a video or photo showing Madeleine as evidence without asking her parents to confirm her identity.

Do you think he's entitled if he actually abducted Madeleine. ..sadistically tortured her and then murdered her

I must admit that I don't see the point of him keeping quiet if he has an alibi.  He is hardly an innocent victim wrongful conviction.
