It seems there may have been a concerted effort to cover up CB's involvement which has continued until very recently.
It doesn't bear thinking about but why the vehement defence as soon as his name was released into the public domain. This included misleading images released by GA in television interviews called for that purpose.
Gonçalo Amaral demolishes German investigation into Maddie's case: "He's the almost perfect suspect. It would only be perfect if he was dead."

and, like me, says that there are things that raise doubts in his mind:
- they show photographs of a suspect, with the real image... that's fooling the

arrested in 2006, there is a photograph of him entering prison;
