THE BODY ! 
So bang goes the McCanns " we believe she's still alive and findable "

If they've done forensics on the van and car , did they use those " incredibly unreliable " dogs I wonder ?

Here we go again the cops,those on high and the horrible McCanns

wicked deeds.I watched the cop last night and he didn’t even believe 
himself,he was very uncomfortable telling the “story “what a load of 
cobblers.It must be time to ask for invisible money.

There's contact between David Payne and an unidentified Portuguese number (+351930008000) at 19:59:26 on the 3rd. That's just 3 minutes before this new phone call ended. 'Strangely enough' that isn't mentioned or possibly relevant.

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?

bit like a pair of kids "jammies" being kept?

Brunswick. On Thursday, the trial of a 43-year-old, who was accused of rape and robbery, began in front of the Braunschweig district court. As reported by the regional judge, the crime is said to have occurred in Portugal on September 2, 2005. The perpetrator is said to have been extremely brutal.


According to the district court, the prosecution's indictment is essentially based on a DNA report, the results of which were available at the end of 2018. The indictment was made in August 2019, and the suspect has been in pre-trial detention since July this year.
With storm mask and drawn saber

The accused is said to have raided a 72-year-old American woman at her home in Portugal in September 2005. He had worn a bright storm mask and held a 30 centimeter long saber in his hand. He beat the woman and forced her to have sexual intercourse. He physically abused and tied the victim. Finally, the accused hit the witness several times with a thin metal object. Due to the injuries sustained by the accused, the witness suffered trauma to the jaw, left shoulder, as well as bleeding and abrasions.

After the sexual intercourse, the accused asked the witness to give him money. Then the 72-year-old handed him an amount of money in the amount of between 80 and 100 euros. The defendant then escaped from the house.
Why is the district court responsible at all?

The 43-year-old's last place of residence was within the jurisdiction of the Braunschweig Regional Court. Therefore, the process will also be carried out here, explains Maike Block-Cavallaro, spokeswoman and judge at the regional court, when asked by regionalHoday.de. "There are several ways to establish jurisdiction - such as crime scene, place of residence or place of detention. Pursuant to paragraph 8 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, the court where the accused resides is also responsible," said Block-Cavallaro.

Continuation dates are scheduled for December 11th, 12th and 17th.

"Maddie" McCann's case could finally be resolved

Little "Maddie" McCann has been missing for 13 years, when she disappeared she was three years old. Now a new track leads to Braunschweig in northern Germany. A 43-year-old German who was living in Portugal is suspected. According to a media report, the man was sentenced to seven years in prison by the Braunschweig Regional Court in December 2019 for raping an American in Praia da Luz.
Trail leads to Braunschweig

According to the Federal Criminal Police Office, the accused is a sex offender who has had multiple convictions and has been convicted of sexual abuse of children, among other things. The accused is currently serving a longer prison term in other matters, it is said. The 43-year-old lived regularly in the Portuguese Algarve between 1995 and 2007, including for a few years in a house between Lagos and Praia da Luz.

According to information from the Braunschweiger Zeitung, the man was sentenced to a seven-year prison sentence in December 2019 for raping a 72-year-old American in 2006 by the Braunschweig Regional Court. He is said to have committed the crime in the same place where little Maddie disappeared in 2007. So far, the judgment has not been final. The accused accuses the judiciary of legal errors in the extradition process, it is said.
72-year-old American raped

The rape happened on the coast of Portugal in 2005. In September 2005, the 43-year-old German is said to have mistreated, raped and robbed a 72-year-old American in her house in the evening. A body hair that was found in the victim's room apparently convicted him. This is where the investigators find the man's DNA. But only 13 years after the rape. This is how the Braunschweiger Zeitung reports. There you can also read how he went about raping. He first gagged the woman, tied her up and blindfolded her. He had even brought the rope to tie him up. Apparently everything was well planned.
Alleged perpetrator denies rape

The 43-year-old denied the crime in court. His hair with the DNA would have brought cats into the house, which he would have caressed more often in front of the victim's house.

However, the court sentenced him to seven years in prison for serious rape and extortion. The alleged rapist has appealed the verdict. The decision of the Federal Court of Justice is still pending.

But in the middle of this process, there is now the incredible news that he is accused of killing Maddie, then 3, in 2007.
Scotland Yard publishes offender profile
At the time of the crime, the suspect used a dark-colored Jaguar XJR 6, there is no information about the specific approval before the crime, according to the BKA.
At the time of the crime, the suspect used a dark-colored Jaguar XJR 6, there is no information about the specific approval before the crime, according to the BKA.


As Scotland Yard announced on Wednesday evening about the Maddie McCann case, the man had short, blond hair at the time of the crime and is about 1.80 meters tall. The British investigators paid particular attention to two vehicles and two telephone numbers that the suspect is said to have used. It's about a VW T3 Westfalia caravan with a Portuguese license plate, in which the man is said to have lived at times, and a Jaguar, model XJR 6, with a German license plate. The day after Maddie's disappearance, the Jaguar was re-registered to a new owner.

On the evening that Maddie disappeared, the suspect was also said to have received a call on +351 912 730 680 with a Portuguese country code. The call was answered in the Praia de Luz region. "Investigators believe the person who made the call is a key witness and urge them to contact them," the Scotland Yard statement said. The caller's number was +351 916 510 683.
Europe-wide policing

The findings are the result of years of cooperation, the British, German and Portuguese police, it said. "After the 10th anniversary, the Metropolitan Police received information about a German man who is known to be in and around Praia de Luz.

We have worked with colleagues in Germany and Portugal and this man is a suspect in the disappearance of Madeleine, "said Detective Chief Inspector Mark Cranwell, according to the message. However, Scotland Yard emphasized that the case was still missing.

BRAUNSCHWEIG. The defendant appeals to the Braunschweig district court after his extradition from Portugal for a violation of international law.

In the rape trial in Portugal, the last defendant living in Braunschweig denied raping the then 72-year-old American in her house in September 2005, raping her and subsequently robbing her of money and a notebook.

The accused had been suspected of testimony in another trial years after the crime. According to a DNA analyst, a body hair on the victim's bed definitely comes from the 43-year-old.

The German lived in a house about a kilometer from the scene. On his way to the beach, he regularly passed the victim's home. In front of the house he was often greeted by trusting cats, for whom he had treats. Therefore, according to him, it should be considered that his body hair could have entered the victim's house via a cat.

However, the expert had declared this unlikely in the case of body hair in court.

Until the day of the crime, the 72-year-old had enjoyed life in Portugal. With her husband from Vienna, she had moved to the Iberian Peninsula.

When he died in 1988, she was left alone in her "beautiful house" with a view of the surfers on the beach. She went swimming a lot and had a lively social life. Parties were celebrated. You got a lot of visitors. "It was a great time." So she told German investigators during her interrogation in 2018 in the United States, where she had long since returned.

The 85-year-old is no longer physically able to travel long distances to appear as a witness before the Braunschweig district court.

After the fact, she suffered from fears and could no longer turn off the lights at night. The masked perpetrator had entered her house through an open door in the evening, blindfolded her, gagged, tied, beaten and raped her.

She didn't see his face. The man seemed tall and strong to her, according to the investigators, she is a small and petite woman.

In 2017, the defendant was sought for another criminal proceeding with a European arrest warrant and extradited from Portugal to Germany.

He therefore considers the current trial against him to be illegal. According to the so-called specialty principle, he should only be held accountable under international law for the offense for which the European arrest warrant was issued. For arguments that occurred before 2017, he could therefore neither be convicted nor punished, he argued.

However, it is also controversial whether this protection has expired with his temporary departure abroad. Ultimately, the Federal Court of Justice will have to decide on this. However, the board refused to suspend the current proceedings for as long.

The court also had to clarify the question of guilt. Even if the specialty protection should continue to apply in this case and this procedure would have to be stopped, "this does not lead to punishment," said the presiding judge. "After the hiring, a new charge is possible."

Like many people I have long had my own theories about this case pointing in another direction (!!), but with an open mind I have to say there is considerable circumstantial evidence here....

....a pretty sadistic convicted sex offender in the right place a the right time who engaged in some potentially suspicious activity right after the disappearance. Reading the info about his bags of wigs etc, I can speculate that he had a range of fantasies that he acted out potentially with another.

It looks to me as if the police have been missing the final pieces of evidence for some time that would enable charges to be brought and have had to go public with what they have.

BlueBag wrote:As Peter said... the "how" will be interesting.

Maybe he'll be dead soon.

I have a suspicion that might happen - doesn't feel like he will confess if he has not for the rape conviction.

Let us not forget that Gonçalo Amaral knew all about him last year, and talked to Mark Saunokonokoin April 2019, predicting that he would be named

German paedophile is UK police 'target' in Maddie McCann mystery, former Portuguese detective claims

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

A German paedophile who UK police are preparing to target as the man who abducted and possibly killed missing girl Madeleine McCann is not the real culprit, according to an explosive theory outlined by the Portuguese detective who once led the 2007 case.

Goncalo Amaral made the allegation that the German child sex offender – who is known to authorities - would become the focus of Scotland Yard's investigation in a remarkable interview on [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]'s podcast exploring the disappearance of Madeleine.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] into the Madeleine mystery for five months, from May 2007. He was removed from the case after he publicly criticised some lines of inquiry that UK detectives who arrived in Portugal just after Maddie vanished appeared interested in focusing on.

"[Operation Grange detectives] are preparing the end of the investigation, with a German paedophile who is in prison right now," Mr Amaral said.

"He is probably going to be the scapegoat for the case."

Madeleine McCann: Police plea for help as German suspect revealed

36 minutes ago

Police are appealing for the public's help in solving the Madeleine McCann case, after they announced a child sex offender was the new suspect.

The 43-year-old German man, who has not been named, is currently in prison.

He is believed to have been in the area where Madeleine was last seen, when she disappeared in Portugal 13 years ago.

Madeleine's parents, Kate and Gerry McCann, felt the latest development was "potentially very significant", the family's spokesman said.

Clarence Mitchell, who has represented the family since the three-year-old's disappearance, said that in 13 years he couldn't "recall an instance when the police had been so specific about an individual".

He told BBC Breakfast: "Of all the thousands of leads and potential suspects that have been mentioned in the past, there has never been something as clear cut as that from not just one, but three, police forces."

The Met Police, who are working with German and Portuguese police, said the case remained a "missing persons" investigation because it does not have "definitive evidence" as to whether Madeleine is alive or not.

However, German investigators - who are due to give an update later - have classed it as a murder inquiry.

"There is reason to assume that there are other persons, apart from the suspect, who have concrete knowledge of the course of the crime and maybe also of the place where the body was left," said German police.

The suspect, who is not being named because of German court privacy rules, has been described as white with short blond hair and about 6ft (1.8m) tall with a slim build at the time.

Police have also released photos of two vehicles - a VW camper van and a Jaguar car - which are believed to be linked to the man, as well as a house in Portugal.

The day after Madeleine vanished in 2007, the suspect transferred the Jaguar to someone else's name.

On Wednesday, Germany's federal criminal police office (BKA) - which is leading this stage of the case - said the man was serving a jail sentence in Germany for a sex crime.

He has "numerous" previous convictions for "sexual abuse of children", the office added.

Madeleine went missing shortly before her fourth birthday from an apartment in Praia da Luz on the evening of 3 May 2007, while her parents were with friends at a nearby tapas bar.

Her disappearance sparked a huge and costly police hunt across much of Europe - the most recent Metropolitan Police investigation, which began in 2011, has cost more than £11m.

Det Ch Insp Mark Cranwell, who is in charge of the Met investigation, said the suspect, then aged 30, frequented the Algarve between 1995 and 2007, staying for "days upon end" in his camper van and living a "transient lifestyle".

He was in the Praia de Luz area where the McCann family was staying when she disappeared and received a phone call at 7.32pm, which ended at 8.02pm. Madeleine is believed to have disappeared between 9.10pm and 10pm that evening.

Police have released details of the suspect's phone number (+351 912 730 680) and the number which dialled him (+351 916 510 683), and said any information about these numbers could be "critical".

Det Ch Insp Cranwell said the caller was a "key witness" and should get in touch.

And appealing to the public for details about the suspect, he added: "Some people will know the man we are describing today, the suspect in our investigation. I'm appealing to you directly.

"You may know, you may be aware of some of the things he has done. He may have confided in you about the disappearance of Madeleine.

"More than 13 years have passed and your loyalties may have changed.

"This individual is in prison and we are conscious that some people may have been concerned about contacting police in the past. Now is the time to come forward."

German police said the suspect is thought to have worked jobs including as a waiter, but also committed burglaries in hotels and holiday resorts and dealt drugs.

Christian Hoppe, from the German police, said the suspect may have broken into an apartment before spontaneously kidnapping Madeleine.

The joint appeal from the British, German and Portuguese police includes a £20,000 reward for information leading to the conviction of the person responsible of Madeleine's disappearance.

In a statement, the McCanns, from Rothley in Leicestershire, welcomed the appeal: "We would like to thank the police forces involved for their continued efforts in the search for Madeleine.

"All we have ever wanted is to find her, uncover the truth and bring those responsible to justice.

"We will never give up hope of finding Madeleine alive, but whatever the outcome may be, we need to know as we need to find peace."

Police said the suspect was one of 600 people that detectives on the UK inquiry, known as Operation Grange, originally looked at, though he had not been a suspect.

After a 10-year anniversary appeal in 2017, "significant" fresh information about him was provided.

Since then, Met detectives have carried out "extensive inquiries" in Portugal and Germany to gather more details about him.

The force said it was trying to "prove or disprove" his involvement in the case and retained an "open mind".

Those with information can contact the Operation Grange incident room on 020 7321 9251.

Sky News - 'Something is different this time...
Numerous suspects have come to light in the Madeline McCann case over the years, but family spokesman Clarence Mitchell said that it seems as if there is something different this time.
"In more than 13 years of working with the family I can’t recall the police being so specific about an individual," Mr Mitchell told Sky News. 
"He is not being named and the police are quite adamant they are not going to do that, certainly not yet, but they want very specific details around his movement in 2007, even down to phone calls he received the night before Madeleine went missing and the fact he changed the registration of his car the day after." '

'German police 'more pessimistic' 
Sky's crime correspondent Martin Brunt: "There is extraordinary detail about this new suspect. He is described as a convicted sex offender and that he is in prison at the moment - having been convicted of the rape of an elderly woman in the Algarve in 2005 - around two years before Madeleine vanished.
"He's not going anywhere, which is good for police". '

'Suspect had several different jobs at time of disappearance, including in catering - German public prosecutor says.'

'

Suspect currently in jail for 'sexual crime'
Christian Hoppe of Germany's Federal Criminal Police Office told German public broadcaster ZDF that the suspect, a German citizen, is currently imprisoned in Germany for a sexual crime. 
He spent numerous years in Portugal and has two previous convictions for "sexual contact with girls." '

'Suspect was a 'sexual predator who had already been convicted of crimes against little girls'
Hans Christian Wolters, a spokesman for the Braunschweig Public Prosecutor's Office, said: "With the suspect, we are talking about a sexual predator who has already been convicted of crimes against little girls and he's already serving a long sentence."
He said the suspect was regularly living in the Algarve between 1995 and 2007, where he worked jobs in the gastronomy business, but funded his lifestyle by committing crimes, including thefts in hotel complexes and apartments, as well as drug dealing.
Mr Wolters added: "The Braunschweig prosecution is now concerned because before going abroad he last had his residence in Braunschweig." '

German police have 'not ruled out sexual motive' for crime against Madeleine
Christian Hoppe, from Germany's Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA), said German police have not ruled out a sexual motive for the alleged crime against Madeleine, which is now being treated as a murder case.
He added that the suspect may have broken into an apartment in the Ocean Club complex in Praia da Luz - where Madeleine was on holiday with her parents, Kate and Gerry McCann, and her twin siblings Sean and Amelie - before spontaneously kidnapping her.

Suspect used Volswagen camper van and a Jaguar at the time of Madeleine's disappearance
British and German police appealed for information about the suspect and released photographs of vehicles - a Volkswagen camper van and a Jaguar - which he used at the time.
German police said earlier that the suspect, who lived near Praia da Luz, where the McCann's were holidaying in 2007, has been sentenced on numerous occasions to prison terms for sexual abuse of children in the past.

" He had short blonde hair at the time " ! 

So not Eggman , Tannerman , Crecheman , Smithman , Spotty man , George Harrison man or even " fat woman in purple " ! Or any of the other " suspects " 

No one saw a camper van or a Jaguar in the vicinity of 5a or anywhere in Praia du Luz that night , neither easily missed . 

The McCanns must be " buoyed " about all the attention , back on the front pages how long before they're doing interviews on a sofa ? 

Oh yes , it'd have to be via video link or something , due to lockup/down ! 

Will Cuddlecat make a new appearance for Kate to hide her face behind , or will she just wear a mask . 

Still it makes a change from " look how many have died with the virus " 
What don't they want us to see ?

The only witness i can see being announced as coming forward and being enough to use in court is someone reported to have heard a confession - Nobody would believe someone in a padeophile ring or disposing a body would confess. An identification of the other phone number won't be enough to put in a german court surely
