Madeleine McCann: German prisoner identified as suspect - #21

[misty48]

Here are 2 sketches of the man seen by UK mum JW who is referred to as "witness one":
'Madeleine Was Here' - 'Scarface' / 3 Witnesses*
And here are 2 photos taken in a Hanover bar (wearing a jacket and a grey tshirt):

IMO the sketch from about 45deg, and the photo from about 45deg, are similar, specifically the angular features of the face. Does anyone else see this?

I struggle to match the efits to the images of CB filmed less than 5 weeks before the witness saw the suspicious man watching Block 5, although I do see some similarities in the nose & mouth side profiles. CB doesn't look gaunt in the video & also has quite a long philtrum. Even allowing for half-inch hair growth, I cannot reconcile his hairline with the efit.

All I remember is the paynes knew everyone and brought the group together and JT is the friend of the MCs

Interesting ??? P.J. POLICE FILES: DOCTOR KATHERINA GASPAR ALLEGED PAYNE INCIDENT

Who was the lady Dr that went on holiday with them to the villa the year before ? she seemed to have plenty to say, I never knew what to make of it.

The previous year, K&G visited Majorca with the Payne's, Tara & Stuart? and the Gaspar's. MM passport was stamped more times in 3yrs than mine in 3 decades!

I wonder ,if he was examined by a psychiatrist , what the diagnosis would be bearing in mind what you say above? Meticulous doesn’t go hand in hand with impulsive normally does it?

I'm basing that on the media accounts littered across these threads where the evidence speaks for itself. Just whacking in some cursory links here.

He has a track record of multiple successful burglaries. Including the theft of passports, phones and other valuables from tourist hotels. According to his "friends" he was known as The Climber because of his acuity at breaking and entering high rise hotels.

Madeleine McCann suspect dubbed 'The Climber' for 'ability to climb buildings'

In the other intruder abuse incidents of which he is suspected of being involved, the perpetrator was able to enter and exit properties while the parents slept.

Evidence of attacks on kids before Maddie snatch

He also has form for flashing and masturbation in parks and beaches despite the nearby presence of parents. That is rash sexual offending, and may be linked to alcohol/drug use.

TY misty48 for posting a clothing item I have been searching for. The man seen by CT on 3 May was wearing a light-blue short-sleeved t-shirt. In the "Trip deines Lebens" photo on about 30 Mar CB was wearing (underneath a grey jumper) a light-blue short-sleeved t-shirt, IMO.

Re the Swansea 'wrong number' call that KM received on the morning of May03. It was discovered that on the same afternoon, somebody, (not connected to the McC or the Tapas group) at the OC called the same Swansea number. On another forum, it is said to be JJ who made the call. Can anybody verify this plz X

I didn't know about this. What was it?

 

[Trivento]

Have sometimes seen on docs etc some people talking about roadworks going on in vicinity of 5A with deep trenches. (eg.around 44mins into NF episode 1 ) However in TV footage and pics from May 2007 there is no sign of such works at all...always found that curious.

Yes, it is in the files, KM Deleted Calls. The same 'wrong number' in KM phone, received a call from somebody in the OC on the same day, call lasted just under 1 minute. The mobile number that called it is in the files - but I cannot find JJ number anywhere so as to compare it. It would be interesting to know for sure who phoned Swansea imo X

I wonder if the “two or three” men working in this long 6ft trench were ever interviewed or identified..perhaps they would have something to bring to the table..?

Have now found an Express article with Mr.Balinger talking about works on Rue Direta...200 yards away...but on Netflix doc JC seems to be talking about something right outside 5A...am guessing now he was talking about Rue Direta works while demonstrating size of works standing outside 5A which was causing the confusion to me I think.

In Malaga photos is that a lightweight knitted jumper?
Compare with sketches of man seen by female JW, is the neck of his top similar?

That

So no direct connection between the MC's, the Tanners and the Oldfields?

But Mr. Oldfield decides to do the child watch and the MC's agree?

Possible, but it still seems odd to me. Although i would rather classify the circumstances in the way, as there had been no checks. Or not every 30 minutes maybe. And that is a big issue to the investigation. Maybe none of the tapas group checked their kids.

So the time window for an incident increases for maybe hours....

Of course there was a connection . Matthew Oldfield and Gerry McCann worked together at Leicester General hospital 2002 .
Likewise Russell O ‘ Brien worked as a colleague of GM .
All but the Paynes, who had a baby monitor say they checked their kids .

Yes they were interviewed .

Not sure why you are comparing these two images, the CT description was not this balding pockmark guy and in her interview CT says that the sketch artist drawing was not accurate. She mentioned the person as having blonde hair short, slim , tall Scandinavian looking. I'm sure one of these witness statements will eventually turn out to be accurate but who knows...

No as MM had not been abducted at this point. This is in the day leading up to it. X

This sketch is not based on CT's description, it is based on female JW's description.

On afternoon 3rd May which gate did gate-man come out of? After studying all 53 phrases containing the word "gate" in CT's statement, such as
"he left from here, the first gate you reach",
The answer IMO is:
Definitely not 5A.
Most probably 5B.
Less probably 5C.
IMO.

As there is some vagueness in CT statement about which exact gate am now wondering if she perhaps saw someone operating a baby gate which requires the use of two hands normally , so is chance was one of parents doing that I guess , perhaps checking it was adjusted correctly , maybe at stairs of 5B..?

 

[Anxala]

Could it be the quote 'if you know what I know' was addressed to the tapas group?

A shot across the bow, do you mean? A warning? Although didn't he say that in the context of CB's guilt? Wasn't it more, 'if you knew what I know, you would be in no doubt that we have the right man' type thing?

If it was intended as a message to 'others', then I imagine he'd have accompanied it with a further, pointed appeal for info. But again, who knows with HCW, a man of many words but mostly the same ones, repeated over and over and over.

I do think there's definitely some crucial component of the investigation British-related though. I can only speculate that it's someone already in the mix (ie. known) whose name has come up in relation to what they know of CB.

 

[SuperdadV8]

Could be related to someone, that is more likely to consume english speaking media, rather than german, portugese or maybe russian tabloids, because he is a foreigner in a foreign country......
