Why now?

[Venturi Swirl]

The appeals back in the day generated a good response too! What quality info has the recent appeal generated?

It’s only been 24 hours FGS, how is anyone supposed to answer that just now?!

[Venturi Swirl]

It doesn't ring true imo.

A guy in the area with, we are told, a very dodgy past.  He supposedly made/received a tel call in the area some 2 hours before MM went missing.  Why is this surprising when he lived in the area?  And supposedly told a friend in a bar he knew what happened when MM appeared on TV. A bit like me and others thinking they know what happened then.  Oh and he re-registered his car to a.n.other but was still driving around in it.  Could be loads of reasons for doing this.  If it incriminated him then why not abandon or torch it?

None of it makes sense.

You’re covering up a fair bit with your “dodgy past” comment.  The man sexually abused little girls.  He also meticulously planned and executed the brutal rape and torture of a woman in Praia da Luz less than two years before Madeleine disappeared.  He was definitely in the area the night Madeleine went missing and he re-registered his car thr very next day.  But none of this makes any sense to you?  Well let me tell you that nothing about your theory makes any sense to me (or any body else on this forum).

Sour grapes indeed, just because everyone else thinks your suspect is pure fantasy.

Everyone?

A Sky report out Wed referred to a second lesser known theory that was "sensitive".  What was all that about?

You chose to omit the word very.

Please find the press reports relating to his past crimes.

The American woman was known to him in that she lived up the lane from him.

How would he know MM was home alone in the unsecured apartment?

You’re the only person I’ve heard referencing this comment - do you have a link to the report?

Whether or not he knew she was home alone is entirely irrelevant IMO.

So it was coincidence then that the only British child ever abducted from a tourist destination was home alone in an unsecured apartment?

If it was an opportunistic break in of an apartment he intended to burgle and found her unattended then yes, why not?

Knowing nothing of this case beyond the basics, if a paedophile burglar enters a house intent on burglary, and finds a greater and more tempting prize, will he leave it there, or satisfy his craving for it? Incidentally, on Breakfast News, there has just been a German journo talking. The list of past crimes from thre suspect's teenage years, is lengthy.

Another coincidence then?  No one reported any burglaries the night MM went missing.  He struck lucky in that the first apartment he happened upon was unsecured and contained a home alone sleeping child.  What then he placed MM in his distinctive stand out Jag or Campervan waiting in the immediate vicinity?  The sniffer dogs didn't track outside immediate vicinity.  And you ridicule my theory.

Where are the original press reports about these cases?

Not often we're on the same page,but I'm with you on this,any way the guy has a simple defence,Silence,Didn't do  it,or I knocked her down(woke and wandered) and dumped her body in the undergrowth,the real reason for the digs in 2014?

Also, this guy isn’t going anywhere for the next six or seven years so the police are under no massive time pressure to build the case against him.  Slowly, slowly, catchee Monkey.

Guess what VS ... he is appealing on a technicality regarding his European Arrest Warrant.  If his appeal is successful he could get out.
