That's plausible. The only thing is that I would think, if they had found a detailed written log of Brueckner's crimes, that, in its own right, would surely be sufficient to press charges?
As to Amaral's book, he re-wrote the whole of the shelved investigation.
According to it (his book) Mark Harrison turned the investigation into one for a little girl assumed dead and hidden (he didn't use the word buried) somewhere close to apartment 5a.
Actually, Harrison stood to attention and took orders from Amaral's boss (at the time), the now late Encarnacidio, to investigate that Madeleine had been murdered and buried. He did so, ruling out burial and making plain he had no real idea what had happened to Madeleine. But he thought it most likely, on balance of probabilities that IF Madeleine is dead, her remains were thrown into the sea. But Harrison really didn't know.
How on earth Amaral, in his book, mangled that into Harrison directing that searches should be made for Madeleine's body hidden, somewhere close to apartment 5a, actually, doesn't have to be guessed at.
Harrison did make a strictly abstract observation in his report that large, free-standing rocks on the beach could have been used to conceal the body of a small child.
Then he consulted statistical data bases from which he concluded that such a scenario, while precedented, is rare and highly unlikely to be what had happened to Madeleine.
Amaral, in his book, seized on that, and had Harrison turning the investigation into one for a little girl hidden somewhere close to 5a.
Amaral also said, in an interview, rather than his book, that "no one talked about murder"
Harrison is very clear that he was instructed to investigate murder and nothing else!
Amaral spews out mind-blowing eyewash that Kate and Gerry might have killed Madeleine with an overdose of calpol. He even managed to get in a reference to calpol-night, not even on the market at the time of their holiday.
That's the summary, of Amaral's book, not the investigation.
