Does Wolters have photographic evidence?

[Vertigo Swirl]

All bets are off, Wolters as got nowt of significance imo.

Perhaps he’s only pretending to know what happened so that he can emulate Amaral and write a book about the investigation to get rich?

[Brietta]

By whom, where and when?

By Rebello.  By the Portuguese prosecutors. 2008.

[G-Unit]

Rebello proved him wrong way back in 2008.  Seems there are those who haven't wakened up to that fact yet.

Did Rebelo follow a different direction?

[Carana]

According to amaral we will know when MI5 release, their files

You forgot NASA.

[Vertigo Swirl]

No, not no chance but merely a slim one. Rapists and murderers are two different animals usually.  If Maddie was abducted for financial gain then harming her was not to his advantage. It would have been in his interest to keep her alive and unharmed.

I repeat, Bruckner was a sex offender, he was not a murderer.

What about this guy?  I’m guessing that after you read about his previous you would have to conclude that he was not a murderer, right?
“Criminal record and deportation[edit]
He has a long criminal record.[1] His first conviction was for robbery – he mugged a woman at knifepoint in Stockwell in 1986, for which he was sentenced to six weeks' detention. In 1987, he moved to Sidcup and was convicted of burglary and robbery.[1] In 1988, he was convicted of indecent assault and indecent exposure and sentenced to two years' probation. Later in 1988, he was convicted of indecent assault and assault occasioning actual bodily harm.[1] In 1989, he was convicted of indecent exposure and sentenced to 80 hours' community service. In 1990, he was convicted of assaulting a police officer.[1]
Dixie lived in Australia from 1993 and overstayed his visa. He was deported in 1999 after being convicted of a sex offence, for which he was fined.[1]
Dixie was accused of a sexual assault in 2001, where it is believed he masturbated in front of a woman in a telephone booth. He was not prosecuted for this.[4]”

Since Mr Wolters is saying that there are parallels between the cases of Diana Menkes, Hazel Behan and Madeleine, I’m wondering if it could be the machete knife (?)

Rebello followed the evidence.

It probably helped that he understood the forensics.

It would suggest he has some knowledge of Maddie's fate... And therefore information he has not shared

I recall him being keen to hold a reconsitution, which suggests he wasn't convinced by the group's description of the timeline.

I don't think he was all that keen or he would have done more to allay the concerns which caused innocent witnesses to refuse a return to Portugal following legal advice.

Do you think if the group’s timeline had all tallied perfectly that the PJ would have concluded there was no need for a reconstitution?

[G-Unit]

Imo he tried hard to allay the witnesses concerns, as Fiona Payne acknowledged;

We appreciated that paulo Rebelo attempted to answer many of our concerns

The main problem, it seems, was that the witnesses didn't think that the reconstruction would further the search for Madeleine McCann. Imo finding the PJ wanting and advising them how to do their jobs was a continuing theme by the witnesses in this case.

I don't know what advice their lawyers gave, but I do know that lawyers usually try to minimise risk for their clients.

I agree. What a horrific thought, Davel.😔

He told them not to bring their children?  If I recall correctly.

You do.

But most interesting of all is that the first person to decline the invitation to return to Portugal was not a member of the McCann party but Jes Wilkins, the guy who met Gerry while walking his infant son.

If an individual with only a fleeting holiday acquaintance was spooked, what on earth motivates people to raise faux concerns about a reconstitution fourteen years to the day after Madeleine's disappearance.  While the rest of the world is concentrating on the horror that is Brueckner and the possibility that the German police may be in possession of photographic evidence linking him to Madeleine.
