Since we're waiting and our last waiting allowed (thank you, lovely Mods!) for a musical interlude, I'm going to chance my arm with another one (so precious to me) to distract us in these quiet times.

I don't think there's any evidence of him supplying children, but its certainly something we are told he spoke about, and I don't think he was lying. My feeling is that GP can link him to MM, maybe just pictures but they can't link him to murder of anyone, all the media pressure to blame CB appears to me to be to extract information from CB, they used his friends to get to him. I just don't think CB is the end game.That's a very interesting thought, the idea that CB's the keeper of secrets here rather than the perpetrator. Not that CB's an innocent party or anything, more that maybe, as you say, the LE believe from what they've found out about him that he's key and crucial to something much bigger and darker.
Do we have any evidence though that CB was a supplier of children? I know it's just your opinion but what is it based on? I don't recall any actual evidence to conclusively suggest that he was. Have I missed something?
Here's the Mirror's version of the latest Daily Mail article, for anyone who's avoiding the DM:
Madeleine McCann suspect linked to 25 burglaries in resort where she vanished
I'd missed the fact that there was photographic/video evidence of the abuse on his girlfriend's daughter - I had thought there was only the girlfriend's testimony.
It has also been revealed that he stored 391 child abuse pictures and 68 sick videos on a second device, a Casio Exilim digital camera.
It was the camera he used to take images of himself abusing an ex’s five-year-old daughter.
I think this makes it even more likely there's similar evidence for MM.
So we'll see....

After British detectives sat in on interviews in Faro with witnesses last week, the Sunday Express can reveal Policia Judiciaria co-ordinator Ana Paula Rito is taking a broader look at leads which may not have been fully pursued.
She is now keen to learn more about the Brazilian couple, who are said to have expressed a strong desire to have a child when they were in the Algarve in May 2007 when Madeleine vanished.
A few days after Madeleine vanished from flat 5a of the Ocean Club in Praia da Luz, a British man came forward with his concerns about the couple and was interviewed by Portuguese detectives.
On the night of the abduction the man was closing his video rental shop just a few streets away from the apartment.
At 10.45pm, 45 minutes after Kate McCann had discovered that her daughter was missing, he noticed the Brazilian woman, aged about 25, driving past his shop in a red car.
He told police there was a dog in the front seat and the woman driver kept looking at something on the back seat which he could not see.
Her partner, a bald Brazilian man in his early 40s, had worked on a local farm but was fired after some machinery was damaged and later worked at Lagos marina, about four miles from Luz doing boat repair work.
The couple, who were staying on a yacht at the marina left shortly after the disappearance and have not been seen again.
A dark-haired woman seen hanging around the apartment at 8pm on the night Madeleine vanished has never been identified or traced.
On Friday expatriate British businessman Robert Murat was re-interviewed for several hours, the last of 10 witnesses to be seen.
Well compared to other theories this one is a better one, and it’s only because of what we’ve heard about CB that the misuse of tools worries me. I’m sure this theory would be the preferred choice of manyAnother individual called R***** also worked in that place with the couple. R*****'s telephone number is xxxxxxxxx, and he may help in determining other elements;
'
He only remembered the episode at this point, because in making some associations, given the disappearance of the child, it reminded of him of this couple who mentioned that they had an exceptional desire to have a child of their own;
'
After the facts occurred, he also stated that they had left Marina de Lagos, as the vessel was no longer found in that place.
Would it be too much of a coincidence if this R***** was NF's boyfriend RFN?

Looking in the Portuguese scans, the R stands for Ricardo. Probably not NF's bf.Another individual called R***** also worked in that place with the couple. R*****'s telephone number is xxxxxxxxx, and he may help in determining other elements;

The Express version gives the descriptionDoes anyone else think there is some crossover with this and the George Brooks sighting?
Lagos Marina - The 'Sighting' & The 'Vision' *
And don't ask me to remember it all![]()
The Express version gives the description
"The woman was in her thirties, darkhaired and slim. The man, also in his thirties, was less than six feet tall and slightly stocky.
He had shoulder-length hair and looked quite tanned. They did not look like tourists and they certainly didn't seem to be British
