Was this book ever published?

Maddy probe suspicion left me in despair

Bit of trivia, it was co written by Fireman Sam creator, who also lived in PDL. This just gets crazier!

Just a little more info, I wasn't aware of

SM was also employed as a ‘trip organiser’ by the ‘Corlett Lines Company’ who owned a yacht, the ‘Naomi Corlett’. It was reported that this yacht left Portimao in the early afternoon of 3 May 2007 and headed towards the marina in Lagos, near Praia da Luz. AFAIK this account was never confirmed.

SM was reported as using several different aliases: Nick Legaloff, Nikolai Fedorenko, Ivan Nikolayevich Petrov, and maybe others.

What’s he doing these days?

Although he reportedly vanished from Praia da Luz soon after he was questioned, it seems he returned soon afterwards.

It seems SM is now living a quiet life with his wife and family after winning compensation and an apology for libelous reports about his alleged involvement in the MM case.

I think I can see things here in road's van pic.

Red square: a house? (on top of some hill or something high).

Black square: top of an aqueduct or water spring?

I hope there aren't as many aqueducts in the Algarve as wells or phone masts

I'll investigate that. Wells outnumber by and large anything else.

Do you think that can be a house or it's my illusion, Ted?

Could be a medium sized house imo

Problem is that I can see some more buildings behind trees and I can't be sure that's not an illusion.

But that thing on right really looks some sort of housing in aqueducts and water springs.

 

[MENDEL]

It looks like this, Ted:

 

[MENDEL]

The houses and buildings I see are all white with black roofs, some 2-3 floors. That looks like some medieval village from Central Europe, more probably Germany.

What's that and where, old chap?

 

[peanutJelly]

I do hope more info is released soon

 

[tedtink]

What's that and where, old chap?

I see the thing in the black square, it has a spire on the top maybe?

 

[MENDEL]

What's that and where, old chap?

This is near Lisbon and it's part of aqueduct, young lady.

So the mast ping does not even place CB in PdL necessarily?

So the mast ping does not even place CB in PdL necessarily?

It places a pre-paid phone that CB was known to have used in 2007 in PDL, just prior to the abduction. Where did he tell police he was on that night when they questioned him in 2013? In PDL or somewhere else? It's just some of the million questions we don't know the answers to at this stage and I personally don't see any reason to read much into that.

Why would we be told what evidence German LE have right now? They have been appealing for the other phone number to confirm it was indeed CB on the phone, and have said if that happens, they have enough to proceed with a charge (although they would also like more evidence - to ensure conviction). IMO they have something major tying him to this crime, hence the very unusual way they've gone about insisting his guilt. They don't have a body or any forensics, so to insist his guilt they must have a lot more than hearsay, unfortunately to get a conviction you need forensics, a body or witnesses.

JMO but I think they have a video or witnesses to a video but that isn't enough to ensure a conviction against CB if he can't be identified in it.

It looks rather like a stick man and the number 8 too, dear friend.

Yes I think it might be to help disprove an alibi, one which might have originally ruled him out

More looking at clouds to me, we’ve deffo got to the point where we need some phenomenal sleuthing or new info to be released!
