New German suspect in Madeleine McCann mystery disappearance.

So, is it your opinion that he is lying to us?

So, he's got concrete evidence Brueckner murdered Maddie, & has strengthened his case further still in the last two years, but there's no prospect of any charges in the foreseeable future?

Ok then.

He's playing a game and by the looks of it Brückner is winning.

You cannot be serious.
Here's a very sensible assessment from a member of the Websleuths website:

This is one of the most difficult cases to solve and bring the culprit to justice.

The appeal was for the murder of MM. there must be some kind of evidence (circumstantial) that makes the BKA, the PJ and the MET sure of that.

The timing of closing down OG, ie the missing person investigation, the timing of making CB an arguido in portugal, the timing of the supposed alibi that FF has been trying to pass on to journalists, which has been trashed on the outset, the timing of the sad statement of the parents of MM, all point to some kind of advancement in the case and evidence. Just because we are not privy of it does not mean it does not exist.

They have been working on 5 other cases, all related to sexual violence, that they can pin on CB. This is also not random. The appeal was also about his person and any crimes he might have committed on other people.

Patience is a virtue and this is what we need to have. The parents at least are kept informed. This is what counts.

He came out full power hoping to flush out Brueckner's mystery phone call accomplice.
Then he doubled down by claiming he had enough evidence to charge, but that didn't work either.

Maybe it's just that Brueckner & his accomplice are tough nuts to crack, that's possible, or maybe Brueckner had nothing at all to do with Madeleine's disappearance, that's possible also.

Which really tells us all we need to know about his claims.

Do you really think Wolters is lying and not one member of the investigation has spoken out.  I don't think that is possible

Wolters to me is a very shrewed operator.. We will see who's right.

Not by Wolters, unless he's bluffing about that.

Busching's practically inadmissible second hand confession would do, along with Brueckner's claims he destroyed the evidence.

The MET are still treating it as missing persons, why, if Brueckner definitely murdered Maddie, shouldn't it be a murder investigation by now?

Maybe Wolters hasn't shared his concrete evidence with the MET, that's possible I suppose, if you're desperate.

Not in the foreseeable future, old chap.

Brueckner is winning by default.

And perhaps John can explain why the Portuguese made CB an arguido on the strength of "strong indications of the practice of a crime" if HCW is simply lying about the evidence.

We might as well stand by for Brueckner being free to wander around Europe again.

He could even turn up in Britain.  Won't that be fun.

He had parole denied & depending on the strength of evidence in the crimes he's actually going to be charged with, he still might yet spend a good few years inside.

Not being charged though is he, despite concrete evidence he's a murderer.

His alleged confession, his paedo chat & presence in Luz would be sufficient to make him arguido imo

[Wonderfulspam]

Queue the cries of 'we don't know what evidence Wolters has'

What he has doesn't carry sufficient weight to successfully prosecute.

Maybe Wolters just needs a bit more time to gather extra concrete evidence.

Where is the evidence for these other crimes?  I haven't seen any.
