It has taken fifteen years ~ is Madeleine's case close to being solved?

Wake up at the back WS !!!

Just taken Olanzapine & Zolpidem so not sure I'll be able to stay awake much longer, that'll be a relief for the forum.
Yum, I do love prescription sleeping pills. I tried persuading my doctor to prescribe me a whole months worth  but he knows I'd probably just eat them all twice as fast.

Oh dear never mind, however according to the case co-ordinator they WERE interested enough in him to knock on his door, even though you can’t think of a reason why they did.

How come people believe him? All I ever hear is "He's a convicted liar"- until he says something it suits them to believe.

He was a convicted child molester who was returned to Germany via the Portuguese court system.  Of course the PJ wouldn't be interested in checking the records particularly when Amaral writes in his book about his solving of the case by identifying the perpetrators before his feet had touched the bedroom floor the morning after Madeleine's abduction.

I don't know how things were arranged in Portugal, so I've no idea if the PJ would be involved with EAW's or if those records were available to them. Unlike some, I don't take these things for granted.

Do you have a page number for Amaral's disclosure that he identified the perps before he got out of bed on 4th?

Because in this instance his “lie” (if you want to call it that) actually makes him and his police force look more incompetent rather than less, and I can’t see why he would be telling us something that was a lie that reflected badly on him and his men.  Even a liar occasionally tells the truth you know (and let’s not forget it works both ways - you both believe and disbelieve the McCann testimony when it suits you, so…)

Not only do you take things for granted you get a lot wrong..imo ...As we shall see

Maybe you can explain how EAW's are dealt with in Portugal; or do you also assume the PJ would be involved?

I wouldn't want to take on Germany when it comes to EAWs and Brueckner.  Portugal had their chance with him and blew it.

In the case of Madeleine McCann the Portuguese have the prior claim afaik.

I.n the case of Madeleine McCann the Portuguese have the prior claim afaik.

Such a pity that Portugal didn't use their prior claim when they had the chance.

Did Portugal not have a prior claim in The Rape Case?  They even had DNA Evidence, if I recall correctly.

The statute of limitations for rape in Portugal is 10 years. They have extended the 15 year limit for murder by making CB an arguido.

They might have had DNA, but did they have a match at the time ?
I believe that may states have strict rules about when they can take DNA samples from people and how long they can keep the record for.

How long is the Statute of Limitations for Rape in Germany?  And how long for Murder?

Of course, it always helps if you can change The Rules when it suits you.

What's that based on.. Pure speculation?

Would Portugal have sufficient evidence to extradite him from Germany... Or Italy. What evidence do you think they could have.. May be why Wolters hasn't shared

It's based on jurisdiction. I don't know what evidence any of them have because they're not telling.
