Madeleine McCann: German Prisoner Identified as Suspect, #38

[frank-cole]

That's what I initially thought - his confession for better prison conditions.
Even when he thinks he is though as old boots.
IMO the horizon will get even darker and harder for him if he is convicted in any/all other cases. In Sexta às 9, HCW highlights that based on CB's past sexual crimes, eventual coercise measures could keep him in jailed for life...being re-evaluated regularly.
In this scenario, IMO BKA will keep investigating MM case in the attempt of reinforcing what they say they already have (even if not enough to charge beyond any doubt). Yes, maybe taking even years to then charge him. I'm just not sure if, as you refer above, they will go for the charge anyway with what they have now or if they will still try to get any forensics, belongings/background corroborative link (photo?). Or his confession.

Completely agree. IMO they already have enough evidence to charge but they still have opportunities to find more strands of concrete evidence. Unless CB tells them, I don’t think they’ll find traces of MM’s remains or clothing.

There is something contained within those files or process that the defence have seen, that's brought justification from a court to halt proceedings.It may well be just the residency thing . Is there a precedent in the German judicial system for it?

The court affirmed the strong suspicions, so it can only be because of the jurisdictional technicality.

Frank, I think you are taking a leap too far but please try to support the following:

1. Do you have a source where CT confirms CB was the person checking the gate?
2. There is no cell site triangulation, unless you can show otherwise, there is a phone number hitting a mast in PDL. This number may or may not have been used by CB.
3. We have been led to believe that CB confessed to HeB but it didn’t appear so in the Bild interview. Do you know the content of other confessions, or even if they occurred?
4. Do you have a source for the Van, presumably the VW, in the area in the days before?
5. Which one of the sitings in the days before the abduction is CB?

I think the way you present the information could be good circumstantial evidence but I think it’s more of a Clarence Mitchell version of the evidence than what has really been reported - that said, I’m happy to be proven wrong.

In a way that’s kinda my point. Counter-arguments for every individual piece of information putting CB in the area, reads like hard graft. IMO the totality of the information leads to no other plausible conclusion, or in your case, conclusions.

IMO the simplest hypothesis is the right one.
- CB was at the OC.

Do the prosecution present this to the defence prior to the charges?

 

[RichardKimble]

Well said. Your point is substantiated with number of sex crimes that were identified by other LEA’s. Which were either not reported, not documented & not recorded . 28 incidences of a male accessing little girls bedrooms, 2 rapes, 2 counts of child assault - picked up by foreign LEA’s. I think it would be incredibly stupid to assume that all of the sexual crimes from the CB era have been identified.

Are these on record any where, if not documented and or not recorded how is a figure of 28 incidences of males accessing bedrooms arrived at.?

Detectives hunting for missing Madeleine McCann have said there is “no compelling evidence” from a reservoir search. A three-day search of the remote Barragem do Arade Reservoir was carried out by police last month.

Innocent till proven guilty.
Which his legal teams appear quite keen not to contest in court on his behalf. The evidence in five cases is up and ready to go and has been for some time.

It would be poor defence counsel that wanted him to face trial. So far they are successfully meeting their mandate.

I guess JC was wrong then!

It’s what’s detailed in the Netflix documentary. The PJ have confirmed there was an offender operating in the area. I’m not sure specifically where the 28 number comes from but it could be from the TV production company.

Completely agree, whoever was targeting properties in this way, was forensically savvy. In the Netflix series they had a quite unsettling re-enactment, the offender with a medical mask over his mouth getting into bed with a young girl. I think there’s a strong argument that CB could have been this lone male intruder. He was known to be forensically savvy, according to one of his old friends he had boasted about breaking into an apartment & performing a sex act naked in a room with young females. He also has a history of sexual assault & intrusions - he was active in the area at those times & as far as I can tell, these crimes stopped when he wasn’t in the Algarve. IMO I wouldn’t be surprised if the BKA have a hunch that CB was this offender, but there’s no concrete evidence to prove he was. IMO there’s a massive difference between thinking somebody is responsible for a crime & having the evidence to run a prosecution. Same applies to the €100000 theft, HCW thinks CB may have been involved but there’s no proof. That’s one of the reasons why I often wince & frown when it’s suggested that they don’t have evidence for the crimes they’re actually involved in.

Interestingly given CB’s magic key news, the intruder/s were largely able to access holiday lets without evidence of breaking in. Stumbled upon this after reminding myself of the freak tractor accident guy discussed earlier.

‘In six of the 12, the suspect either sat or lay on a child's bed, although sexual assaults occurred in just four cases. In nine cases, there was no forced entry or stolen property and where there was it was minimal.’

Are the BKA so confident, but they've got the wrong guy?

Such random by-the-ways in these reports.

‘A three-day search was sparked last month after comments made by suspect.’

‘It has been suggested by a man in German police witness protection Helge Busching, that Brueckner 'came through the door' of the McCanns' holiday apartment, casting doubts over the theory that Madeleine's kidnapper gained access through a window.’

BBM. I wasn’t aware of either of these allegations.

Isn’t the description of someone of southern European appearance i.e. not a six-foot blonde guy with piercing blue eyes.

 

[misty48]

I think it's worth pointing out that the CSA offences which CB has either been convicted of or for which charges are pending all occurred in the open air.

There’s a lot of contradictions! Tall, medium, slim, pot-bellied, swarthy, pale, stinking of petrol, stinking of tobacco. It basically covers all the suspects.

Wolters said at the time of the digs, or was reported as saying it wasn't as a result of info from CB.
The door thing is a theory out forward by HeB along with paint thinners and some kind of lock pick which he stole when CB was doing time so CB couldn't have used that particular one.

There you have it, a collage to make a caricature out of.

Specifically stinking of petrol?

I recall a strong smell from both this guy and Cooperman but the only person renowned for stinking of petrol is CB.

From what you say, how can they all be the same perp?

Interesting thought regarding the role of the defence in a trial.
