New German suspect in Madeleine McCann mystery disappearance.

[John]

Amaral though the dogs proved maddie died in the apartment... They didnt. Amaral is making excuses for his own failings

It is one possibility among many.

Don't be silly Dave, Gonçalo was there, and saw and heard a hell of a lot more than is reported in the files. In those circumstances he was best placed to solve the case but we all now know he was thwarted by the English authorities who refused to undertake certain requests relating to Madeleine's parents and the tapas group. Then there was the fiasco involving the FSS, a now disbanded discredited organisation.

Oh Dear.  This has to be The End.  Are you absolutely sure that you want me to be a Moderator?

And is there any wonder for why I wondered?

[John]

A German poster on Websleuths quotes Wolters from a podcast explaining what he has done over the last year and exactly why he did it.
Wolters has also claimed much of what has been reported in the media is inaccurate - for example he has never claimed that Madeleine died in Portugal.

I have listened to the podcast and read the brief precis underneath.
I have not seen any media reports addressing what Wolters who is at the centre of all of this has actually said publicly - the 'news' of the day being Brueckner's former friends speculation about what the Germans are doing and why they are taking so long about doing it.
The real deal has detailed the facts but it seems the money is on opinions from folk who know nothing.

Keep your chin up Eleanor - you could well be proved right

I'm convinced Wolters is yet another chancer and that his plea for information was his last throw of the dice.  That came up empty too just like Redwood.

You can't alter historical facts simply to appease a modern narrative.

Obfuscation at its finest.  But you are The Boss and this Forum has never been a Democracy.

Sheesh, I might die laughing in a minute.  If only I had sussed this sooner.

I think his hand was forced by Amaral showing the media exactly which stone to turn over for Brueckner's name to crawl out from.

I think it was very far from his last throw of the dice but I think it may ultimately prove to be Amaral's undoing.

Was it really possible for him to be as incompetent as he was when co-ordinating Madeleine's case?  Was there indeed a conspiracy ~ I think if there was one Amaral might be found to have had a finger in the pie or maybe even more than one.
One surely doesn't put misinformation into the public domain the way he has been caught doing without having a very murky reason for doing so.

Tis difficult isn't it.  I have long believed that Cristovao and Amaral had something to do with this.  Hence their reasons for being so vociferous against The McCanns.

Am I allowed to say this in my opinion?

But I wouldn't half like to see their phone movements on that night.

So let's get down and dirty on these two.

I think GA had access to the files only in the first 5 months, and I am not sure he read them in that period. After being fired he lost access to the files until July, 2008, where they were made public ... It seems that in the beggining he was searching for a rapid solution, so he took into account the sayings of a journalist, and focused all his efforts in Murat ... When it became obvious that Murat was not guilty, he desperately tried to involved the McCanns, focusing all his efforts in them, with no results ... The first five months lost ... No alternative hypothesis was tested: for example, burglary that went wrong, paedo, or a combination of the two ... CB has an "interesting profile", like the OC driver, JCFdS ... But a "profile" is not enough.

Do you think that Amaral or Cristavoa could have been involved in this?

Just a passing thought.

There has to be some reason for the vindictiveness both have shown against Madeleine's parents despite both of them making a lot of money from Madeleine's disappearance.
I think Christovao was the cleverer of the two when it came to that with his series on missing children.
Amaral in particular made a real career and living from Madeleine's case which I find extraordinary and until very recently was the man when comment was looked for

[Eleanor]

I am not actually going to get an answer, am I?

[Brietta]

Well they haven't 'proved their innocence' nor do they have a certificate of clearance.  So I think they must be in the same boat as anyone else who was active at the time and involved in Madeleine's case.

GA involved in MM crime? I do not think so. But it is strange that it occured just the day before GA had to be in the court for the Cipriano case ... But mere coincidence, imo.

I don't think Amaral was equipped to deal with the complexities of a missing child case and I think he was in desperation to have Madeleine's case concluded 'successfully' which he thought would deflect from his forthcoming perjury trial resulting from the torture of Leonor Cipriano.

I think he was the worst possible person to have been appointed as co-ordinator of Madeleine's case ~ he just didn't have the skills base.

Oh do come on.  Neither Amaral or Cristovao have been Cleared.  So they could both be in the frame.  And both of them know a bit too much for my liking.

Look to the to two people who have done the most to incriminate The McCanns.

I am beginning to understand how Sadie feels.  Let us see for how long this comment will survive.  IMO.
