  Who is CM ??

Have you forgot about Clarence.

If it wasn't so serious it would be laughable - even though it is IMO.

And television commentators have been quick to question the solidity of the case being constructed around him.

Certainly he sounds despicable, but after reports started linking him to other child disappearances, both here and in Germany, pundits threw their hands up in exasperation.

“It’s the same every year,” crime commentator Hernâni Carvalho said on popular chat show ‘Cristina’, suggesting the current media circus will lead to nothing “as have all the others”.

“He’s a pedophile with a criminal record who was in Praia da Luz when the child went missing. So what? There were lots of them around then…” he said.

Two aspects of the media’s ‘feeding frenzy’ have received scant attention.

One is that the funding of ‘Operation Grange’ – the British led police investigation into Madeleine’s disappearance, which has already spent well over £11 million – has run dry. Scotland Yard is waiting to hear whether a new request for more money will be granted.

If the police said your child was dead ... wouldn't you want to know exactly on what they were basing that? 

Your bias against the parents of a missing child is nothing short of extraordinary and does you no favours ... in my opinion.

With out establishing the culprit,this could be sensitive information only the killer would know.

I observed what seems to be going on from the lawyers statements, if the McCanns want the files before charges are brought it may not be possible in German law.

 Germany is either withholding evidence from Scotland Yard...or
Scotland Yard have seen what they have and don't draw the same conclusion from the evidence which they could relay to the family couldn't they?

They want to know what evidence there is that Madeleine was murdered.  Don't you think they or anyone else in similar circumstances are entitled to be told.
They do not want access to police files ... they want to know why the police are saying what they are saying about their daughter.

I don't find that at all surprising ... nor I imagine would the majority of people.

[Brietta]

well them all working together is out the window as some think they are.

It is a joke an embarrassment IMO. - has OG got the money yet to be involved in this farce?

Wonder how many hundreds more they have to go through.

The Portuguese police say his name was on a list of hundreds of potential suspects handed to the Metropolitan Police in 2012 when the force was preparing its own investigation, but Scotland Yard didn't act on the information.

A British police source confirmed that Brueckner was a ‘person of interest’ at the start of Operation Grange, but there was insufficient evidence to make him a suspect.

Which is probably why the Portuguese allowed him to walk previously.

 If they just want to know what the evidence is why can't the Met tell them? 

[Brietta]

Have you forgot about Clarence.

Using initials to illustrate points snatched from thin air is counter productive.  But now you mention it ... please provide a cite for what you say Clarence Mitchell claimed.  Thank you

[Brietta]

Then that should be explained to her distraught parents don't you think.

I wouldn't like to learn an unsubstantiated claim such as this regarding my daughter from tabloid headlines.  I take it you wouldn't mind.

If Scotland Yard or the Judicial police had prior knowledge of what the Germans are alleging ... Madeleine's family would know already.

So the Germans are refusing to share evidence with SY and by way of that the victims family. It's utterly bizarre....unless the Germans are sitting on it to cover up their mistakes and the evidence is severely lacking.

This has been covered here in-depth in terms of the owner of 5A dying towards the end of 2006.

The owner of 5a’s husband died in hospital and I’m not sure it was even while they were living at 5a...of course if you know better I’m not too proud to be corrected.

Scotland Yard and the Policia Judiciaria are keeping Madeleine's family in the loop ... the German police are not party to those understandings and at the moment this is a German investigation.

[Vertigo Swirl]

I thought he wasn't a rapist until after 2007?

And how close to 5a was he exactly?

Perhaps you should re-read the news reports, eh?

I really can't believe that. There's nothing to stop the Germans telling Scotland Y we have XYZ evidence and we're sure because ABC..... so they could pass it onto the family. why on earth would SY agree to do a joint appeal with a force that wouldn't even summarise what evidence they have?

The only answer for me, is that Scotland yard have been told the gist of the evidence and have not found it much use.....

''The force said it remained a "missing persons" investigation because it does not have "definitive evidence" as to whether Madeleine is alive or not.''

Yes I appreciate that but the potential for contamination still exists.

In order to rule out contamination it would be necessary to carry out a complete audit on all fixtures, fittings and contents. 

The odour is highly transferable by way of items from one place to another.  It clearly lingers and is highly transferable as per the police report into the case of Shannon Matthews.

I bet if those mutts were let lose in charity shops, containing a lot of second hand items from the deceased, they would go ballistic.

I often take items into those places and hold my breath while doing so as the stench makes me want to heave: the scent of death
