New German suspect in Madeleine McCann mystery disappearance.

[Vertigo Swirl]

Ask yourself this,if you were coming up to retirement and yet the case you were DCI on, is about to announce the biggest possible breakthrough in the most infamous/famous missing child case in the world,would you opt on retirement and let some one else have the kudos or see it through especially after the profile you allowed Vogue to write.
Nope nothing to see here,move along folks.

LOL.  Another good point, yes clearly the DCI you are referring to was eager to quit the shit show asap so she wouldn’t have her good name sullied by these absurd developments.  As if this Christian guy could in any way be responsible when every fule no it was the parents wot dunnit.

Perhaps this retired DCI also realised that this new/last lead would likely drag on for years and in the meantime she had a life to live.

Yeah, maybe she had enough of poring over images of children being abused and old women being tortured and wanted to retire on her big fat police pension in the sun somewhere.   And who can blame her?

‘A source close to the German police investigation said: "The suspect is saying nothing to officers so Kate and Gerry could be left in limbo for months, which is agonising for them."

It is understood German police were shown photos or video of Maddie's body or given a graphic account of how she died’. (Express)

‘A candle in Rothley, which usually burns around the clock as a symbol of hope for Madeleine and is re-lit daily by the church warden, has remained unlit since Wednesday’.

OMG, the Germans have been infected by a 'close source'. Hope it's not the same as the ' close source to the family'

Daily Mail must be gutted that they've been scooped by the Express

One would think therefore SY have seen them,yet they must have doubt,why else treat it still as a missing person.

Very true.

Nothing at all except for the absolutely appalling criminal record he boasts ~ the fact that he lived minutes from the centre of Luz and also used a camper van ~ the fact  his phone places him in Luz just before Madeleine was abducted ~ the fact that he left Luz immediately after ~ the fact that he 'came into money at the same time ~ the fact he was a prolific and successful burglar who was known to illegally enter properties via windows.

In my opinion the "rabid press" are reporting information being given to them directly and openly by the police ... that is the German and English police ... and have received information from the public as a result.

I'm hoping some of that information will be useful in providing enough evidence for the police to solve some of the heinous crimes they are looking into because he can be placed where they occurred at the relevant time ~ just as he can be placed in Luz at the relevant time of Madeleine's disappearance.

Amaral who for some reason best known to himself told the world about Brueckner in April and having perhaps deliberately interfered with an active police investigation as a result has been silent since.
But think about why he did that ~ he is not taking Brueckner lightly by any means ~ and I don't think you are either.

Who saw his distinctive campervan that night? That should stand out like a sore thumb. Nobody to my knowledge and that's why they're asking for photos.

Is it the right van ? He reportedly bought another one later in 2007, presumably when he returned to Germany.

Anyone remember this headline from 2007,the suspect in question received a nice pay out,wonder if the German will receive the same in the fullness of time.



Madeleine suspect had 'child porn' on his computer

But the source said: "Things were found, including paedophile stuff, and that's why he remains of interest in this inquiry."

Oh! some one will bound to be found by the press who remember it.

Perhaps there will be some sign of it on all those holiday snaps which were sent to the McCanns or their private detectives or CEOP or whoever it was.

Agreed there will always be a few wackos out there who will now recall seeing it 13 years later. They have to be careful with these witnesses.

Can't see any such statement having any value other than pointing towards other events that might be useful.

There's little doubt that his van would be in the area - he lived in the PDL area so having seen it will hardly be world-shattering information.

If witnesses saw him driving it away from 5A around about 9 pm, then that might be a different matter.
