The key interesting fact for me is that CB is German and in May 2007 he was driving a VW camper van - timeline and basic description make this sighting a possible match.
If CB has dark web and paedo-ring connections what do we know that supports this possibility:
1. MT stated CB was always on the dark web;
2. There is the 2013 web chat about keeping something small ... ;
3. CB likely had cash in early June 2007 to pay for the Tiffen which could mean he received payment for something to do with MM;
4. The 8,000 images at the box factory had to have come from somewhere.
Is there anything else? Is this strong evidence?
On the flip side, what makes it less likely IMO is HCW stating that CB is the only suspect, if it were a paedo-ring, wouldn’t he be looking for more?
BTW
@SuperdadV8 I am not disagreeing with you, I just wonder why you keep putting the suggestion forward.
