Madeleine McCann: German Prisoner Identified as Suspect, #34

[Mex]

I can only assume that there were a lot of people to contact and he was low on the priority list

Well he wasn't as high on the priority list as some convenient others were.
He was exactly the type of person person whose whereabouts should have been looked at when a child goes missing and it is apparent he was.

 

[Mex]

Maybe they would have if folks hadn't got them to concentrate on RM?

GA makes the claim in his book that he was that person who asked for a closer look after seeing him going into his mother's villa.

Hindsight. You are viewing it from a point of what is known now, not what was known then.
IMO

From the link posted by Dennis, there was only one sex offence in Germany, why should he have been regarded as a priority.

 

[RichardKimble]

CB may have been prompted by his Dark Web consumption to escalate but I think he had decided to abduct and sell a child. Prior to this, he may have been satisfied with sexually assaulting a child in the room.

There were 9 break-in attacks & 3 near misses on British girls between 2004–06.

Madeleine McCann: police now know of nine assaults on British girls in Algarve

New cases, including one in Praia da Luz resort, come to light following fresh appeal for information last month

We know that OG went after three locals, so the alleged break ins and near misses weren't linked to CB.

GA makes the claim in his book that he was that person who asked for a closer look after seeing him going into his mother's villa.

Of course he does. One of the few things we can all agree on is he's a man who could never be accused of being low in ego.

But we know plenty of other folks were talking about RM too, and making statements, and talking to journalists about him etc.

All of which shows just how big a nightmare a child going missing is for the police, in any country. A big enough nightmare for them on its own, but a child going missing in a holiday resort is an even bigger nightmare. Especially one that was full of media and diplomats and PR folk and who knows who else within a day.

Police in any country would have struggled with this investigation (imo)

Just look how long it took to find the killer of Nikki Allen here in the uk ,that's with a body.

I'm not aware that they are officially linked to CB even now.

Hindsight may be an exact science but it has nothing to do with the missing child procedures which should have been followed at the time.

According to whom ?
Different countries have different procedures and criteria

Don’t forget, Christian Brückner is a very common name here in Germany. Also there are 55 with that name on FB. Maybe it’s just a man posting his daughter

 

[Zuleika]

The suspect'surname is spelled Brueckner not Bruckner.

I have a picture of a page of his passport. It is without the first e and with ü.

PJ and GA team were the same as with other cases, in Algarve, around those years. A sea of doubts and incompetences.
Apart from the repeated and neglected burglaries.

They did get right that arguido statuses of both the McCanns and Robert Murat were lifted.

And the prosecutors were certainly right to conclude that no one could have predicted an abduction of Madeleine.

How erroneous other assumptions were arrived at is clear, but I won't go over that again.

An umlaut represents an 'e' following the letter over which it is placed, guys...

 

[abovethestorm]

This one?

Looks just like her to me!

 

[JB1510]

I don't think it would have made any difference. He would have spun a plausible tale, true or false, and police would have recorded it and moved on to the next person on their list.

Possibly, though if the PJ had followed up the daylight assault at
Salema beach the previous month it may have been different.

Maybe, but it's the only thing on it, which is strange
