New German suspect in Madeleine McCann mystery disappearance.

First they'd have to prove a link between Brueckner and the body so that he could be charged

If they could prove Brueckner was at the site where the body was found that would be enough.

I don't think so, as he could have visited at a totally  different time.

They're going to have a tough job pinning this on Gerry then!

So, hen, which is it, 2007 phone pings triangulate down to sat in the bin cupboard of 5a for CB, or 'somewhere in Portugal' when doing a quick detour of 'the boondocks', to use your vernacular (love that film by the way).

They will search up to 20 more in the coming days, despite German prosecutors having no knowledge of it

Its nowt to do with the Germans what the PJ do in their own country.

I’ve just figured put what they’re looking for - it’s Amaral’s ace which he misplaced in 2008.

Of course, and they're to do with Madeleine McCann and no-one else...

Mário Lucas was going to feed a cat he has on a plot of land between Budens and Boca do Rio beach, in the municipality of Vila do Bispo, last Thursday morning, when he saw the men near the wells. “There were about 10, between GNR and firefighters and I saw one who was wearing a diving suit”, says Mário, who was surprised by the situation: “I still approached to try to understand what was going on, but they sent me away.” In fact, it involved searches for the body of Madeleine McCann, related to Christian Bruckner, the German appointed by the German authorities as the main suspect in the disappearance of the English girl, in 2007, from Praia da Luz.

The authorities spent the morning inspecting three wells in the area, separated by about 100 meters. Wells that were originally used to irrigate agricultural plantations but have not been used "for more than 20 years", says Mário Lucas. Many residues were removed from the wells, which accumulated over the years, but nothing relevant was found to help solve the disappearance of the English girl. The wells are located along the road that leads to Boa do Rio beach, a beach that is known to be frequented by foreigners, who travel in motorhomes, just as Bruckner did in 2007, when he used a Volkswagen Westfalia van, where he even slept .

The searches come in the context of investigations related precisely to the suspicions surrounding Christian Bruckner, after the German authorities revealed, about a month ago, that they have indications that point him as the author of the abduction and, possibly, of the murder of Maddie . Hans Christian Wolters, the prosecutor in charge of the case in Germany, said he had evidence that the child was dead but, so far, that evidence remains to be revealed. People who might have information related to the suspect have also been questioned in Portugal.

Bruckner, who moved to Praia da Luz in 1995, has crimes of abuse of minors (and thefts) in his registry and was convicted in Germany of raping an elderly woman in the Algarve in 2005. In 2007, when Madeleine disappeared, the German was in Praia da Luz and the records of cell phone antennas show that he received a call shortly before the disappearance and another, longer one, afterwards. In 2016, German authorities found, hidden on a plot in Germany, a set of USB pens where the suspect had thousands of pedophile images.

The German's lawyer, who is in prison in Germany for drug trafficking, has already made it public that Bruckner will not make any statements or provide information about Maddie's disappearance.

MADDIE BETRAYAL Madeleine McCann’s parents’ heartache as German cops prepare to drop investigation

MADELEINE McCann’s parents face fresh heartache as police in Germany prepare to end their investigation into her disappearance.

It comes amid fears prime suspect Christian B could be out of jail in days.

German police are convinced the paedophile snatched Madeleine then killed her and say they will decide whether to charge him “within months”.

But lead prosecutor Hans Christian Wolters said his team would not continue their inquiries indefinitely.

Lawyers for Christian B, 43, will be at the European Court of Justice on Thursday to appeal his seven-year jail term for raping a pensioner in Praia da Luz in 2005.

Madeleine, then three, was abducted from her family’s holiday apartment in the Portuguese resort in 2007 while parents Kate and Gerry ate a meal nearby.

Mr Wolters said: “Of course we have an interest in keeping our suspect in custody.

“This gives us access to interrogations in the event of an indictment.

“We have no endeavors to drag this out unnecessarily. We’ll draw a line at some point and see.”

Portuguese police have been searching old wells around nearby Budens for the body of Madeleine. But they have not told British or German cops what prompted the operation.

Christian B, who we reported once boasted of snatching Madeleine, is serving time in a German jail for drugs.

If his rape appeal is successful he will be freed.

A source said: “What we fear is liberal judges will release him and we will lose him . . . which would threaten the case enormously.”

Its all about legality, not their views. How will releasing him threaten any case, there's evidence or there's not, which seems the most likely, not so concrete after all.

I have always believed the moral of this story was more to keep CB in prison they were never interested in Maddie.
