If Brueckner is Never Charged.

[Sherlock Holmes]

Hewlett’s criminal record was just as horrific, we had stories from friends and he wasn’t far from PDL on the 3rd of May yet he had no part in Madeleine’s disappearance. Brueckner could be another Hewlett.

There is no concrete evidence or the German police would have charged him.

How do we know Hewlett wasn't involved? He was never thoroughly investigated re MM and thus not exonerated.

There's certainly a very good chance he knew CB imo. Hewlett too was an itinerant convicted criminal roaming around the Algarve (including PdL itself) and Morocco, had German connections and was involved in drug dealing. It would be strange if he and CB didn't know each other really. Not that that makes either guilty of abducting MM. But the parallels are interesting nonetheless.

Didn't Hewlett claim, before he died,   that he knew  who took Madeleine ?

He certainly claimed to know who she was - according to German police.

If one of Brückner’s dog’s hairs was found in Apartment 5a how would that be explained away?

Do you think that dog's still around?

By the way, Hewlett and his son have been discussed extensively on the forum as I recall. A few years back now.

According to his son, yes. It was a bit nebulous though. The son claimed to have been in posession of a deathbed letter from H which claimed that M was snatched by a gang. The letter never materialised however.

Hewlett's partner Marianne Schmuecker was German. 


Hewlett was a person of interest to the McCann detectives but apparently of no interest to the Portuguese despite his record and his admission to seeing Madeleine.

I believe he claimed to have burned it.

All interesting, yes.

Marianne was German, yes, and Hewlett died in Germany after his unsucessful cancer treatment there.

What a litany in that article.

Oh yes, I remember now.

Do you think that dog's still around?

Probably not, why do you ask?

Without the dog's hair, how can it be proved that any of the dog hairs found in 5A belonged to it?

You don’t need a living dog to prove that a dog hair found at the scene of a crime links to a dog owned by a suspect, in whose home, or camper van, or clothes or boneyard full of dog corpses similar hairs are found.

Were you investigated ? No ? Then by your own argument you are a suspect too...and me.

Hewlett was never officially investigated because there was nothing to link him to Madeleine’s disappearance. Only the parent’s private detectives suggested that he may have been involved and goodness knows what agenda they were working towards.

If you look at my post, you’ll see that I was referring to dog hair - not an actual dog - on Brückner’s clothing and perhaps other belongings that can be compared to what was found in apartment 5A.
