The latest McCann suspect: Scotland Yard has revealed vital new information about a suspect wanted in connection with the disappearance of Madeleine McCann.

It's inexcusable for the Portuguese press to continue parroting the lies of the UK establishment and media, after all the interviews they conducted with Gonçalo Amaral and other credible experts, and the evidence that they discussed.

Madeleine deserves better.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna rewatch a great documentary presented by an actual journalist.

Thank you very much for this post Paulo, and for posting this link to Richard's comprehensive documentary. I hope you are well. It sounds as if you are in good form, anyway.

You may be interested that Richard Hall is actively looking for someone to translate and add subtitles for this documentary for a Portuguese (and Brazilian) audience. It would be something like this excellent subtitling done five years ago by a Spanish contact of ours, 'Mercedes':

If you are interested in this project, or if you know someone who could translate Richard's video either from English or Spanish into Portuguese, please contact Jill Havern. Proper rates for translation work would be paid.

P.S.  Of course, we know that the British police will try to wrap up this tragic story with a false narrative, so that the public forgets about it.

Many think the British police have already done this in another controversial case. Many years ago, a 2-year-old, Ben Needham, disappeared whilst his family were beginning to settle in a new life on the Greek island of Kos. It was fairly obvious to the Greek police what had happened. They questioned his uncle, Stephen Needham, who was aged about 20. There was strong evidence that he had taken Ben out for the afternoon on his motorbike and that somehow Ben had had a fatal accident, which he then covered up. In a documentary, he partly disclosed what had happened under hypnosis, until his minders told the TV company to stop filming him.  

Ben's mother Kerry, and his grandparents, who were minding Ben that day, insisted however that he 'must have been' abducted, though there was not a shred of evidence in support.

Kerry Needham ran a very vigorous 'Look for Ben' campaign and raised a lot of money. After many years of pressure, South Yorkshire Police began an extensive and expensive investigation on the island, eventually reaching the unevidenced verdict that a digger-driver (who had since died), who had been working in the neighbourhood at the time, 'must have' run over Ben and covered up his death. The family of the dead digger-driver were absolutely distraught at the tarnishing of his name the British Police.     

The South Yorkshire Police force didn't care. They had 'solved' the case. The British media faithfully repeated the South Yorkshire Police's claims and everyone was happy. The police were happy. The media were happy. Kerry Needham was happy. Stephen Needham was happy.

But the family of the dead digger-driver, accused by South Yorkshire Police, remain distraught to this day.


ETA:   Has anyone viewed that video of Mark Cranwell yet? He looks every bit as unconvincing as did Andy Redwood and Nicola Wall before him. It can't be easy for a Detective Chief Inspector being told to reach a false conclusion, especially in such a globally infamous case. It would make you look and feel uncomfortable. Just like Redwood and Wall did. But I suppose the prospect of promotion and a nice fat police pension at the end of it would assuage your angst

WTF - the Police are interested in a 30 minute pre 'abduction' call but equally think it could have just been a disturbed burglary.

The press are making enough fuss that someone is going to end up in court soon.

I think Kerry Needham doesn't know her brother was involved (if he was) - Unlike Kate and Gerry she has no need (No paedo links or respectable carrer) to constantly search if she knows for sure   he is dead

Hello Tony.

Thank you for you comment.

Just to clear this up... you're not confusing me with Paulo Reis, right?

  Nah, let's not go there again.

Two telephone numbers. Is that it, is that the best OG can offer? 

What about all the numbers Murat, Kate Gerry and T7 were using? Have those gone straight passed them into the shredded evidence of 13 years?

I  smell a whole sewer full of rats . 

Phone numbers , a black bag of wigs and exotic clothing , a 1980's campervan and a Jaguar , both now in Germany and undergone forensic testing , a man already in prison. 

Is this a " look over there not over here " , what are we being distracted from ? 

" Squirrel , what squirrel ? Forget the damn squirrel , we're investigating "

It’s bad enough to think the British police would fabricate evidence, find a scapegoat and declare the case solved. It’s even worse the Portugese seem to go along with that scenario and now the Germans too? Let’s be clear in my opinion the parents are guilty as can be but for three countries to be involved in a cover up is still a bit hard to get my head around to be honest. The more people, countries and jurisdictional systems you involve the bigger the chance the truth will come out. I still hold some hope that these telephone numbers, that house and maybe the cars too will somehow turn out to be linked to the McCanns and this german suspect is just used as a cover for now. It’s probably false hope but still...

As Peter said... the "how" will be interesting.

Maybe he'll be dead soon.

The pesky public are sending in FOIs again and MI5 need them distracted from the Prince Andrew and Epstein line.

Brunt; Ok Maam, a Bulgarian paedo then? The Brits hate paedos
C Dick; Didn’t we use that one a couple of years ago?
Brunt; No, he was a Brit paedo Maam, in a German jail. What about a German paedo, in a German jail. The red tops will love that. They hate Germans, they do. They bombed our chip shops in the war. I love that line!
C Dick. Oh well done Brunty darling, you are a such a cunning little stunt. A jailed up German paedo then. The Home office will love that. Now orf you go and get the story in the press before YOUR funding dries up.

The big problem they have
IS
that he is still alive.

Just a moment

We are going back to 2007, 13 years ago. These two vehicles were bangers then, where are they likely to be now? Especially as he buys and sells and has been convicted for some time. Not to mention that these vehicles are not in the UK and the our so called cops here, only have jurisdiction in the UK. My guess would be that they were scrapped long ago.

So how on earth, do the UK police, suddenly get pictures of obsolete vehicles in a foreign country, that probably were scrapped or at least sold off years ago, and with no registration plate? How do they link these vehicles to any one person?

Hi Sharonl and everyone!

I would just like to say about the vehicles. VW camper vans have quite the cult following around them and they are sought after. ( I have one a little younger than the 'suspects'). So I doubt it would be scrapped just because it was an 80s model. As for the Jag I don't know. This does seem like the latest in a long line of suspicious foreigners ( dirty, gypsy, drifter, pedo) and I doubt it will come to much. Anything but look at the bunch of respectable doctors who seem to be lying about their movements that night.
   My prediction is, after this 'lead' has been exhausted they will try and wrap up the case by declaring it unsolvable.
The question now, is where is the German police confirmation of this latest lead and how serious it is?

Who is falling for this latest heap of cow manure?  Do they think that after 13 years, people who have left no stone unturned, have forgotten what was said, the interviews where they wouldn't answer questions, or contradicted everything they said?

I am not buying it!

I’ve read somewhere they’ve even already searched them for forensic evidence, which I find pretty hard to believe... it’s the same as with tannerman who apparently after all those years still owned the exact same clothes he wore on that evening and kept the pyjamas his daughter wore at the time

Pretty serious it seems. There are asking the public for help to “clarify the circumstance of the offence”, sounds like they are pretty certain this man has done it (in their eyes)

Were you in the Algarve
were you the victim of a crime
Did you see this vehicle
blah, blah

Do they not think the PJ and BritPol asked those questions of anyone within a 100 mile radius

But then they add . . 
there is reason to assume that there are other persons, ... who have concrete knowledge of the course of the crime and maybe also of the place where the body was left.


Well quite so!

More from Peter's link:

A reward of € 10,000 is given for clues that lead to the investigation of the crime! *
Detailed information on the search

Time: May 3, 2007
Crime scene: Praia da Luz / Portugal
As part of the investigation of the circumstances of the crime, it is particularly important to determine the actual whereabouts of the suspect at the alleged crime date, which is between 9:10 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. on the date of the crime.
The suspect used a dark-colored Jaguar XJR 6 at the time of the crime, there is no information about the specific approval before the crime, the last known approval after the tattoo was from the city of Augsburg, as well as a white and yellow VW T3 Westfalia with Portuguese registration. There are indications that he could have used one of these vehicles to commit the crime.
In addition, he used the Portuguese mobile number + 351 912 730 680 with a probability bordering on certainty. On May 3, 2007, a telephone call was made to a crime-relevant time in the Praia da Luz area. The caller used the Portuguese number + 351 916 510 683. The user of this number is considered an important witness, but was not in the area during the call.

The Federal Criminal Police Office and the Public Prosecutor's Office in Braunschweig ask for your help:
Can you provide information on the vehicles used by the suspect or did you see them at the beginning of May 2007 or do you know where they were parked during the period mentioned? Can you provide information on the numbers mentioned or their users in May 2007?
Can you provide information about the houses, rooms or other points of contact shown?
Did you stay in the Algarve at the beginning of May 2007 and do you still have any pictures such as holiday photos or videos? Have you been in contact with a person who was connected to the vehicles, buildings and telephone numbers shown and can you provide information about his stay at the beginning of May 2007?
Have you possibly been the victim of a crime by this person?
Furthermore, there is reason to believe that there are other people besides the perpetrator who have concrete knowledge of the possible scene of the crime and, if necessary, where the body is stored. We expressly ask these people to report and share their knowledge.

On request, there is also the possibility of testing to treat this information confidentially!
You can upload pictures and videos via the BKA information portal at bka.hinweisportal.de.

Detailed information about the vehicles:
Vehicle 1: Jaguar XJR 6
Color: dark red / aubergine
Characteristics: The last known approval after the tattoo was with the city of Augsburg.
Whereabouts: The whereabouts of the vehicle have been clarified.
Vehicle 2: VW T3 Westfalia
Color: white / yellow
License plates: In May 2007, Portuguese license plates were mounted on the vehicle.
Whereabouts: The whereabouts of the vehicle have been clarified.
Note: The accused was not the owner of the vehicle. The keeper is a suspect
We kindly ask you to inform the Federal Criminal Police Office at + 49 (0) 611/55 -18444 or any other police station.
* The award and distribution of the reward will be decided under exclusion of legal recourse. The reward is intended exclusively for private individuals not involved in the crime and not for public officials whose professional duties include the prosecution of criminal offenses.

A few thoughts I have on this. They don't name him so can't be that convinced?..also how was he living in the van he didn't own?  'The accused was not the owner of the vehicle. The keeper must be excluded as a suspect.''


So still a suspect of a suspected crime?!

Does anyone know if any of the phone numbers mentioned in the German appeal been seen before in the files?

 If not it would mean German police somehow accessed phone records the Portuguese did not. All very strange!

'In addition, he almost certainly used the Portuguese mobile number + 351 912 730 680 ....The participant used the Portuguese phone number + 351 916 510 683. The user of this number is considered an important witness ''

Edit - I searched the files. Maybe these are a match.

6 foot men can squeeze in through tiny windows

Maybe it's worth revisiting the phone calls that were made around the time Madeleine disappeared. 

This is snipped from the article in this link:

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

[Kate's] mobile memory held details of 39 calls from 18.28 on Wednesday 25th April to 16.35 on 27th April 2007. After her arrival in Portugal on 28th April 2007, with the exception of one incoming call on Wednesday 2nd May 2007 at 11.21 (which, very interestingly, was the Swansea “wrong number”), and one call from her husband at 23.17 on Thursday 3rd May 2007, everything else has been “whoosh-clunked” from memory. These deletions could have been accidental, but a high degree of cunning could be implied. Why would she selectively delete everything up to Thursday 3rd May 2007 with the exception of one wrong number and what was her reason for deleting three of the four calls, between 23.14 and 23.17, from her husband on that critical night?. A possible answer is that she wished to avoid alerting the PJ to evidence that details of around 40 calls had been erased and she felt happier leaving something uncontroversial (or misleading) in memory for them to find.
