Madeleine McCann: German prisoner identified as suspect - #18

[Tekno]

This report says yes.

I thought her trace could give some clues. But it seems that HCW did not give her much importance.
The mysterious phone call ...."Entirely dependent upon s/he coming forward".....Frustration.

In the article, it says that NF used to be a hotel receptionist. Does anyone know which hotel?

Wasn't there some kind of halloween-style birthday party with NF?

Yes, I remember that, no masks visible though.

I've not found any, would be interesting to know what vehicle he was driving

I posted some details in reply to Mendel a few posts up.

Yesterday I was looking into if there could be any possible connections with CB and Helmstedt, not just the accident, and read this over at our German friends.

However, an insurance report from an accident that emerged later showed that Christian B. had a bump in the parking lot with the minibus of a friend at the time on Autobahn 2 near Helmstedt on May 1st - one day before Inga disappeared.

According to this source, the parking lot bump happened at Helmstedt with the participation of a friend's car that B. drove at the time, and it was this car that was insured.

Perhaps FF is trying to play HCW at his own game? Claiming to have evidence but not releasing it yet. FF may be trying to put pressure on HCW to release the evidence the prosecutors have?

Very likely and would show some kind of desperation. But maybe he's preparing a war against british tabloids, that keep his client in the media almost day by day.

And to me it looks, as it works. AFAIK PJ starts new investigations, of course due to the huge attention, these tabloids create.

HCW stated, and that is a fact, that there is a possibility too keep someone in custody much longer as the sentence works, due to the danger some repeat offender can mean to the public.

The tabloids, especially the british, seem to dig out every little claim to sexcrimes in Portugal that could be linked to CB, even if they are not proven yet.

But FF is aware, that it can create a picture about his client, that could even have a impact on possible trials in the future.

So maybe his tactic isn't challenging HCW at first, but trying put the mostly british tabloids out of the equation, as much as possible.

We'll see...

Agreed but they already have done that, back in 2013. They already know what his supposed story was for the night of 3rd May 2007 when he was called for questioning the first time.

They didn't have the supposed video in 2013

Don’t see the benefit or urgency to re-interview him now if it means revealing all their current evidence to FF when they admittedly still need more.

Madeleine McCann suspect 'joked he had hid her in cellar' claims sickened ex-pal

Again - nothing is being "revealed". If the supposed video exists, then CB knows they have it.

This is why i dispute the idea that there is any advantage in concealing the evidence from the suspect - he already knows about it!

 

[mrjitty]

I don't remember the number i used to have in Germany 5 years ago (and I had it for over 7 years)... why would someone remember their number of 13 years old?

I can't tell you the number of my wife today let alone the number she had in 07

I think his plan is to use the tabs to put pressure on Herr Wolters. Wolters is the guy out on the limb here, and as we know, the tabs get bored very quickly if Wolters can't keep the story going. So FFs opportunity is to drip info in another direction.

 

[mrjitty]

Wasn't GA running the police drug squad.........

Yes. He got promoted into drugs and shifted sideways so PJ could ultimately archive the investigation

 

[mrjitty]

We're all, Super.

What's enigmatic it's his pressing on Brits.

It's them all who will fall from their chairs.

I think he will report on the current direction of the PJ inquiry.

It's the obvious thing to do.

 

[Sharkbite]

Thanks, Shark. I tried my best. Where does that info come from that she left her kids with CB?

Still looking for the article about CB sometimes being left to look after the kids while NF was working, but I found a statement that I have read before from around the same time, from a neighbor to NF about the "strange people" with a detail about the "small girls" that I missed before.

The neighbor said that as well as troubled teenagers, the home was frequented by children. 'There were always little girls – small girls at the property,' she said.

'There were a lot of strange people,' she said.

'This Christian arrived in 2007. They would hang around together and I didn't like the way they were.

'There was talk that he got a girl at the house pregnant and she ran away… It makes us think that what they were doing [with the children] was not good.'

It was my impression that NF was paid to look after troubled teens, and not "little girls"

"Strange people"? MS HB MT? they would fit the description very well.

Just guessing here:
the photos in the news item show her "outside her home" in Germany.
If you look closely, expensive cars are visible and the "P" sign of the parking lot. See the ornamental flower pot and the kind of chic drapes in the window.
Could this be the hotel in question and does she live there? Or does she simply live in an expensive and chic building / neighbourhood?

Here is something:
Fehlinger, who cared for troubled children as part of a German childcare program, added: “He [CB] sometimes came home – to eat and to watch the children.

They didn't have the supposed video in 2013

That has nothing to do with the point you were making. You were talking about the benefits of interviewing early to trip the suspect up on their own story. They already have that story, so what difference would a video that doesn't show CB in it make to that alibi?
"HCW: Excuse me Herr Brueckner, did you make this video?
CB: No.
HCW: Oh well, worth a try. Here's all the other evidence we've got on you. Pick your own version of events based on where our holes are."

This is why i dispute the idea that there is any advantage in concealing the evidence from the suspect - he already knows about it!

How does he? He would know there's a video, sure. He doesn't necessarily know they have it. Plus we're just talking about the big evidence here that proves MM's death. HCW has said there are lots of pieces to the puzzle that point to CB. He would have to hand over all that evidence too if they were to quesion him.

I really don't see the benefit of showing their hand while he's not got a chance to run anywhere. Just keep building the evidence for now. Your argument really doesn't make much sense IMO. Tell me what they stand to gain as opposed to waiting for more evidence first?

Close, but the article I was looking for was more literal, stating that it was while NF went to work. I guess if NF was working at a casino that somebody would be at the home to 'watch the children'.

Madeleine McCann prime suspect linked to sex attack on another British girl

The suspect was also left to look after foster children on his own for a pal in Germany, it emerged.

He cared for them while their unsuspecting foster mum Nicole Fehlinger, 43, was at work.

‘My neighbour told me he was German and he introduced me. Because we are both German we started talking.

‘Sometime later he asked if he could park his campervan outside my house. He asked if he could take water and some electricity. I said why not.’

Fehlinger, who was looking after troubled children as part of a German fostering programme, added: ‘He came into the house sometimes – for something to eat and to watch over the children.

That may well be it DLK, thank you.

I'm not sure about the first sentence though, I think they must mean a pal from Germany as its only within the last week that any reports of CB/NF being together in Germany came out.

Welcome, DS.

Great post.

Looks like smoking gun evidence is on the way.

"When I reveal it you will fall off your chair".

This is a little bit sinister:

"I'm confident this case will not go to court and the British media will lose interest in my client."

Did FF review original files? Sounds like he was able to go to directly to a sighting photo/video that proves she was alive.

 

[enjy15]

I’m thinking, the charge that the prosecutor wants to get CB for is murder, FF may have something the clears CB from the murder. FF’s findings “involves someone who has provided me with vital information” makes me think someone involved has provided him with info? Perhaps it is info against HB?
FF has said before that CB is a paedophile not a child murderer and that FF can’t speak on what CB has told him but that doesn’t mean CB is hiding anything which makes me think CB has said something to FF. If CB is cleared of murder then that is still a ‘win’ for FF even if CB ends up with an abduction/abuse charge instead.

LE may well be sitting back waiting for snitch upon snitch, as those with "changed loyalties " turn on each other to save their own skin. Inadvertently perhaps, a chink of truth will out, a pointer to the missing jigsaw pieces. I don't think any of these players are going to emerge in a favourable light.

But meanwhile, why is GA still chiming in, so determined to meddle with this case? I find myself wondering if it's a deflection tactic of "Quick, look over there!"
