The official view may well prevail, but the massive dissent will always be acknowledged also.
I was puzzled about the reason for Brueckner appearing on Portuguese police radar with regard to the abortive attempt to speak to him in 2007.
The solution was a simple one as a German investigative documentary reveals the allegions
"A stunning revelation discovered by a German team of investigative journalists has put the prime suspect in the disappearance of Madeleine McCann in the very resort from which she disappeared.
Convicted paedophile Christian Brueckner, who has emerged as the only suspect in the 15-year-old cold case, worked as a handy man at the Ocean Club in Praia da Luz in the spring of 2007, according to the German documentary New Leads in the Maddie Case which will air on Monday evening in Europe.
A producer on the show confirmed to The Daily Beast that they have handed over reams of investigative material to to German and Portuguese investigators that show Brueckner “repeatedly carried out repair work” in the Algarve resort and was in town when the McCanns spent their holiday there."https://www.thedailybeast.com/christian-brueckner-madeleine-mccann-suspect-reportedly-worked-at-ocean-club-in-praia-da-luzThat signifies a colossal gap in police procedures at the time.
Bad and bad enough but not surpassing the consequence of the rest of the inept handling of the case resulting in
"McCann’s parents were initially suspected by Portuguese authorities, which many believe led to the real perpetrator’s escape." Which undoubtedly must remain as the truly disturbing result of the advocacy prevalent at the time which wasted time and effort ~ fiercely promulgated over the fifteen+ intervening years by sceptics.
No wonder you think they won't let go of that - I don't think they will either. It won't be possible for them to accept the result of due process concerning Brueckner because to do so would require acceptance that you have been WRONG and true sceptics just won't countenance that.
The tragedy is that back in 2007 Brueckner was there for the taking.
Madeleine might well have been returned to her family and "the great detective" could have emerged not only with his reputation intact but enhanced.
Instead he chose the wrong path which his followers have blindly followed sans rhyme or reason and I think they will continue with that. I'm sure they will reconcile Amaral's PR blunders at the beginning of the new belief system with whatever has worked for them in the past. So sad!
