New German suspect in Madeleine McCann mystery disappearance.

[Vertigo Swirl]

The article raises a good point wrt to ChristianBrückner’s apparent wealth after leaving prison, certainly in excess of 40,000 euros.  Are we to assume this was money earned through petty drug dealing?  I thought we were supposed to believe he was a small time crook supplementing his drug dealing by selling the odd bottle of diesel and pilfering passports from holiday apartments so where did this money crome from, enough to shell out for a new camper van and 36,000 euros for a hovel in Germany?

I bow to you superior knowledge on the similarities between smuggling in a handful of illegal immigrants and the buying and selling of children for sexual exploitation.

Doesn’t take superior knowledge, just common sense.

Weren't he & Fehlinger supposed to have stolen 100,000 Euros.

50,000 each, 14,000 for a second hand camper, 36,000 for an old abandoned box factory.

Unless you're thinking maybe he got paid in advance for the botched abduction to order, but then wouldn't he have been paid in Roubles?

50,000 Euros worth of weed would be roughly 9 kilos, maybe more, that's a lot of green, even I've never seen that much, & that estimate is total value, not the profit made from selling it on, so I think we can rule out weed dealing as being the source, unless Brueckner is related to Pablo Escobar & was dealing in white stuff & not green.

More likely him & Fehlinger robbed 100,000.

Quite why someone would leave that much lying around in a suitcase, unless the people they fleeced were actually dealers themselves.

How so?  Surely it’s two very different business models, with different clients and demands.

Need to ask Jeffrey Epstein, but the Clintons had him bumped off.

He boasted about being able to stash 50 kilos in his van. That would be about 50 bin bags full.
And seriously, who keeps their life savings at home in a suitcase rather than the bank.
There's something off about that.

Not peddling, merely reporting sight of a document pertaining to it.  Do you have a problem with that?

I don't care about documents. There was neither the technology nor the information to pinpoint the location of that phone.

Are you saying that Brueckner wasn't in Luz?

You have entirely missed my point.  The report was not "peddling" anything as you claimed, it was reporting what had purportedly been seen by the reporter, offering no opinion on the document's accuracy or not.  Now should a reporter who has seen such a document keep quiet about it or report its existence, in your view?

No. I'm saying that the phone evidence doesn't place that phone or him at the time of the murder in front of the apartment from where Madeleine disappeared.

Anyone with a brain knows that the 'document' was wrong.

Does anyone have any idea when this murder allegedly took place ?

But Brueckner could well have been close by.

But Brueckner could well have been close by.

Or he could well have been anywhere within a 20 mile radius of the phone mast.

Wolters isn't even sure that Brueckner was 'the abductor', he's only certain he murdered Maddie, apparently.

He's keeping the door open for another as yet unidentified abductor who sold Maddie to Brueckner.
