Madeleine McCann: German Prisoner Identified as Suspect, #41

[C.greek]

I think the Intel must have been for one of the abandoned farmhouses, with no more specificity as to which one, that is why they searched 5-6 of those in that area. If nothing was found, that doesn't mean nothing exists... I am always sceptical about such brief search operations! When they search for missing persons, they spend days from dawn to dusk searching, now they have a normal working day 9-5 digging/clearing and then putting everything back as these are private properties... I don't really understand how the expect to find something like that jmo

That's right, if you don't look in the right place you'll never find what you are searching for.

There's no certainty where she might be, possibly not near to where she disappeared, or even in Portugal.
I think this is now the end - a most unsatisfactory end.

Well certainly if they searched in the place(s) he suggested.

These recent searches ( which we should be grateful for .. imo ) seem to have focused on places CB ‘may’ have frequented , according recent coverage .

However I’m curious how thoroughly places like the Foral villa , or the Escola Velha property , and especially their surrounding grounds , have been searched ?

Those are both places CB is known to have frequented .

Madeleine McCann cops 'believe village where suspect lived hold clues'

Christian Bruecker, a convicted rapist, stayed in the Villa Bianca in the village of Foral in the months after Madeleine disappeared from her family's holiday apartment in Praia de Luz in 2007.

Although I guess any disposal would be more likely somewhere more removed from CB residence , would they not have warranted a look at with the ground radar they were using ?

Seems BS was wrong after all.

So it seems. Not quite as spectacularly wrong as HCW and company. It looks like they’ve been investigating the wrong guy for seven years. I wonder if they have any regret about telling the world he murdered MM without any hard evidence.

Revealed: The 4 words a top cop said before 'last-ditch' Maddie search

Rainer Grimm, boss of the BKA, Germany's equivalent of the FBI, is in Portugal overseeing the search which ended yesterday.

The head of the German force leading the fresh searches for Madeleine McCann told a friend who wished him luck: ’Thanks, we need it.’
Rainer Grimm, boss of the BKA, Germany’s equivalent of the FBI, is in Portugal overseeing the search which ended yesterday.
His apparent lack of confidence in the operation to his pal echoed what many have seen as the ‘last throw of the dice’ for investigators looking to solve the 18-year riddle.

But sources close to the investigation said that ‘only animal bones and bits of old adult clothing’ have been found in the estimated £300,000 operation.

One officer told MailOnline: 'We always knew it was going to be a waste of time but we have to show cooperation.

'What did they expect to find after 18 years? We were happy to work with them but we knew it would be a waste of time.

It is never a waist of time!

you also know now that she's not there....

One can only assume that BKA had great faith in the reliabilty of their informant.

Probably not as it bolstered the impression that CB was guilty, which was no doubt their intention.
Their failure to find any incriminating evidence to support this in no way diminishes that image in the eye of the public.

 

[Davieson]

I think they'll throw in the towel now, but if they don't, they should examine whether paedophilia was ever involved at all, and who started OG down that path in the first place.

Having said that, if they don't have a German suspect, then they will have no interest in pursuing the case any further

It may influence the mildly interested. However, if you read the comments on recent news and YouTube stories, you’ll see that scepticism is alive and well. The story as a whole has received so much coverage it’s part of the zeitgeist so more people have a firm opinion than in less well known cases.

There's long been coverage and comment on Youtube as its one of the few platforms where peeople can voice their opinions freely

That’s due to the limited scope of OG - it was conceived to investigate an abduction. Therefore, there is only kidnapping for ransom, stolen to order or paedophillia as motives. No ransom demands and no signs of MM living with a family in Devon so there investigation was heavily skewed towards the third option from the outset.

It’s an awful thought that pushes the story into dark secretive places that kids disappear to.

If CB is becomes just another possible suspect, I’m hopeful the public Interest will continue to push for closure.

Mystery couple at centre of bombshell new theory on Maddie McCann disappearance

German prosecutors refused to probe a couple suspected of running over Madeleine McCann in a drink-drive accident, it was sensationally claimed today

www.irishmirror.ie

The British/German couple's neighbour also spoke to police about what she heard the night Maddie went missing, it has been claimed.

She reportedly heard the pair rowing the day after the three-year-old disappeared.

She told detectives she heard the man yelling: “Why did you bring her?” over and over again.

Portuguese police are reportedly said to have got the knock-back from the Germans after urging them to look more closely into the possibility the woman had driven home “drunk” with Maddie after hitting her and enlisted her husband’s help in disposing of her body at sea.

The question remains - who sent OG down that rabbit hole ?
Who persuaded the Home Office that that was the way to go ?
