Crucial evidence from the two witnesses was their story of breaking into Christian B's house and stealing
homemade videos of him raping several victims, though not the American widow.
But the court was not shown the videos and one of the witnesses told the judges the tapes had been destroyed in a caravan blaze.
Mr Fulscher said: "What makes it worse is that the witnesses weren't questioned for long. The whole case took only three days.
"I would have spent three days just questioning one of the witnesses. The videos were not shown in court, where they are is a mystery."
===============================================================
This information comes from CB's current lawyer, Fulscher.
German & Portuguese police combined to look at unsolved rape cases on the Algarve during the period before CB came out of jail in 2006, which is what led them to the DM case.
My concern is why no DNA evidence was ever harvested from the rope, bedding, clothing or reported hair which PJ retained. The forensic evidence in the Behan rape was also destroyed around 5-6 weeks before Madeleine was taken. 2 unsolved rapes, 2 missing children, all within the space of 3 years which fell under the jurisdiction of the same set of PJ officers.
