Two girls who disappeared within 2.5 years of each other, both close to areas where a known paedophile and drugs dealer is known to have had homes.

Yeah, there's not much in the way of evidence of abduction in either case really is there, apart from them disappearing.

But give it a few months, someone will come forward & say Brueckner confessed to killing Joana.

A sparsely populated area too.  statistically it’s rare for a child to vanish without trace, but what are the odds of it happening twice in the same area in such a short timeframe?  It makes sense to investigate a possible link imo.

So why isn't Wolters?

So, entertaining the idea that Brueckner abducted Joana.

Do we think Brueckner had been stalking Joana & knew she'd be leaving the house after 8pm?

Or, is this a chance abduction as he just happened to be in the area?

And, why didn't her mother call the police when she hadn't come home after several hours?

This white and brown van was in Bernard Piro’s scrapyard in Foral. That is the sort of van that was spotted near where Joana went missing some 7 km away from PdL. The van however, was found abandoned in PdL.

Was there anything particularly suspicious or incriminating about this van sighting?

What was the van doing when it was spotted?

They said the most crucial bit of evidence was a white and brown camper van, parked near Joana's home in the days before she was abducted.

The vehicle, with German number plates, disappeared around the time she vanished.

They added: "There was a man living in there, but he hardly left the van. A week later the van was found abandoned in farmland in Praia da Luz. We told the police to investigate it, but they didn't listen to us."

She said the man had short, curly brown hair and was about 40 years old.

The only article I can find & states 'in the days before she was abducted'

So there's no bias or anything.

The man they saw was around 40.

In 2004 Brueckner would have been around 25.

Not just the timeframe, but "homes" in both vicinities. IF he was living in / still had access to the other place not far from where Joana disappeared, there was a fiesta that evening. I haven't been able to establish whether he was in the vicinity at that time, but he certainly was earlier in the year (cf traffic violation with the Jag).

NB: I've already posted (somewhere on here) that if he had gone from the villa near where Joana disappeared, it would have taken him ten minutes by car, according to Google Maps). The remaining question is whether he was even in the country at that time. If he wasn't then fair enough.

No doubt easier if he'd been seriously investigated at the time... but I can't think who wouldn't want the Cipriano case brought up again. Probably not just Amaral.

That still doesn't explain why the mother didn't call the police & report her daughter missing.

She'd only gone to the shops a few hundred metres away, about a 5 or 10 min journey, & yet, she doesn't report her daughter missing for over 4 hours, & even then it was someone else who called the police.

I'm not a mother so I can't be sure , maybe it's just standard practice not to call the police when your 8 year old child has been missing for 4 hours.

In my opinion, CB looks very different in all the pictures that have been published.

[Wonderfulspam]

That's great.

Now, why didn't her mother call the police when her daughter was abducted?

[Vertigo Swirl]

I wonder why the Ciprianos bothered to call the police so soon after murdering their daughter.  You’d have thought they could have at least staged an abduction and gone out on the piss first.

[Wonderfulspam]

Apparently she claimed she had no credit on her phone, that's why she didn't call the police.

So, she thought about phoning the police, couldn't, then never bothered asking anyone else if they had credit.

Sounds reasonable.

Maybe if she just waited another 4 hours Joana could just come walking in the door.

No point troubling the authorities over such a trivial issue.

Yes, those really do sound like the actions of a concerned parent.
