Prime suspect in Madeleine McCann case ruled out in child's rape, murder

15 Nov, 2020 09:44 PM

The prime suspect in the Madeleine McCann case has been ruled out of having any involvement in the rape and murder of another child.  

Christian Brueckner was accused of being involved in the rape and murder of 11-year-old girl Claudia Ruf in his native home of Germany.  

But DNA of the 43-year-old was no match for that found at the scene of Ruf's death.  

It comes after police in Portugal failed to match the convicted paedophile to the rape of Irish tour guide Hazel Behan, 37.  

A source told The Sun: "It is a setback, there's a sense of disappointment as this is the second time."  

Portuguese police fear Brueckner will never be convicted for his suspected crimes against McCann.  

Brueckner is currently in jail for drug offences and is appealing a seven-year sentence for raping a 73-year-old woman.  

Sources told the Sun while police are working around the clock, leads have dried up.  

"They know [he] will never talk. So it will be up to them to find the missing pieces of the jigsaw to lead them to finally find out what happened to Maddie."  

Despite this, German officials say they have "concrete evidence" McCann is dead, and firmly believe Brueckner is behind her death.  

But with leads drying up, Brueckner has boasted he's onto the police's strategies and won't fall their "dirty tricks" to get him to confess to having anything to do with the youngster's disappearance.



Brueckner, who was in the vicinity when McCann disappeared from the resort while on holiday in Portugal in 2007, is reportedly raging over reports a fellow inmate may have been recruited by detectives to try and get him to confess.  

The Sun reported that Portuguese police are "concerned" at claims German authorities have resorted to "planting" spies inside the prison Brueckner is locked up in.  

Brueckner is reportedly furious and says he's one step ahead of the police.  

"Despite the silence of prosecutors, he is convinced that the police have been using all sorts of dirty tricks to try and nail him," a source told The Sun.  

"He has been boasting there is no way he will fall for it. To him, the whole thing is a game of cat and mouse and he has remained silent throughout."

What a load of codswallop!

Too much too late NZ Herald - must do better next time.

Meanwhile for your edification - the police do not rely on a suspect talking.  The suspect has the right to remain silent.  

It is for the police to follow the evidence and build their case, preferably without the use of a ruddy jigsaw puzzle!

Roughly translated:
The suspect in the case of Madeleine McCann was brought to a hearing in the Braunschweig regional court on Monday.
At the hearing according to information from the DPA, an incident occured after which the 43 year old was treated in a clinic.

CELL 'ATTACK' Madeleine McCann suspect Christian B ‘attacked in court cell and left with broken ribs ahead of parole hearing’

MADELEINE McCann prime suspect Christian B needed hospital treatment today after being hurt in an ''incident'' as he made his first appearance in public.

The convicted rapist and paedophile, 43, was treated for two broken ribs after being allegedly attacked as he waited in a court cell ahead of a parole hearing.

His lawyer Friedrich Fulscher claimed he had been hurt by officials and he would be filing charges but the court insisted he had ''fallen over'' while waiting downstairs in the cell.

Police were said to have been called to the court to deal with the incident and Christian B was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment.

Last night a spokesperson for the court said: ''The exact sequence of events is now the subject of investigation.

"Against this background, we cannot comment on the details.''

Christian B was identified by German police as the man responsible for Madeleine's abduction and murder in May 2007.

Today he was driven from prison in Kiel, two hours south to Braunschweig court where he appeared for a parole hearing.

He is currently serving 21 months for drug offences but he is eligible for parole on January 6 after serving two thirds of his sentence.

Wearing a white mask he was driven into the back of the court building flanked by two police officers before being escorted into the building for the hearing.

A source at the court said: ''The hearing was to decide on whether he can have parole for the drugs case.

''Technically he can be freed in early January as he has served his time but the prosecution is opposing it because of the outstanding Madeleine McCann investigation.''

Madeleine, three, was taken from her family's holiday apartment in Praia da Luz on Portugal's Algarve coast in May 2007.

This year investigators in Germany claimed they had solved the world's most famous missing person's mystery.

They say they have "concrete evidence" she is dead and believe Christian B abducted and murdered her.

He was known to spend time in the area around the resort and was arrested on other matters.

Last December the suspect was also sentenced to seven years in jail for raping a 72-year-old American woman near Praia da Luz two years before Madeleine vanished.

He took his case to the European Court of Justice earlier this year but it was thrown out .

He is expected to serve the full term although his lawyers are appealing the verdict.

https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/13213200/madeleine-mccann-suspect-christian-b-first-public-appearance-parole-germany/

According to witnesses the incident occurred in a holding cell where he spent 40 minutes waiting for the Parole hearing. When the Ambulance staff arrived, they were told “someone was rioting in there”.
His Lawyer Herr Fülschers has viewed the Security Cameras in the Area and was heard shouting loudly outside the Cell at the Jail staff.

It would be very convenient if he were to die.

Herr Fulscher his Lawyer has lodged a formal complaint about two Guards in the holding Cell area. 

It cannot be he got upset about any bad news as he did not receive any, the incident happened before the hearing.

Even after his return from Hospital, at the hearing no decision has been made as to his possible release date.

Ankle cuffs should not be put on too tightly as they can cause pain to the handcuffed person while walking. As a rule of thumb, two fingers should fit between the handcuffed person's foot and the shackle bar.  If possible, ankle cuffs should not be placed on bare skin, but over socks, even better over the trouser legs.
The safest way to put shackles on a person is to have the person being handcuffed e.g. B. to kneel on a chair or bench and then attach the shackles while kneeling. Since the Achilles heel is relaxed when kneeling, particular care must be taken to ensure that the clamps are loose, otherwise the clamps could cause considerable pain to the handcuffed person while walking. If it is not possible to put them on while kneeling, they should not be put on a standing person from behind, but rather from the side so that the person to be tied up cannot defend himself by kicking backwards. Another method is to place the person to be handcuffed up against a wall and order them to lift one foot alternately, to which the cuff is then attached. Care must be taken that the person to be tied does not lose their balance and fall. People who are already handcuffed should therefore have two other people hold their upper arms when using this method.

The keyholes in the leg cuffs should always point upwards (i.e. away from the floor). The lock should be activated immediately after putting on to prevent the ankle cuffs from becoming too tight.

Madeleine McCann police ‘search a new property in Hanover with sniffer dogs’ - a week after Portuguese cops said they were 'shocked' by lack of evidence against main suspect

   Police descended on the house near Hanover today after receiving a tip-off
   But the eight-hour search has brought no apparent breakthrough in the case
   Police searched a nearby allotment in July once used by Christian Brueckner

By Tim Stickings For Mailonline

Published: 14:47 GMT, 18 November 2020

Madeleine McCann police were today searching a new property in Germany, local media said, months after her suspected kidnapper's nearby allotment was dug up in a search for evidence.

Officers equipped with sniffer dogs and a mobile police station descended on a house near Hanover, where suspect Christian Brueckner once lived, after receiving a tip-off from a member of the public.

Authorities did not reveal the nature of the tip-off, but local newspaper Neue Presse said it was linked to the Madeleine case.  

However, the current residents of the house were found to be 'totally blameless' and the eight-hour search has yet to lead to a breakthrough.  

Prosecutors told Calenberger Online News that the search had backed up their 'gut feeling' that the tip-off was wrong, while adding that investigations were still ongoing.  

A spokesman for the prosecutor's office said there had been doubts about the tip-off from the beginning, but said it could not be ignored.

Their assessment was downbeat enough that the spokesman even suggested that the tipster could be investigated for making a false complaint.  

In July, German police searched a vegetable garden 12 miles away which was once occupied by Brueckner, digging up the allotment in a two-day operation.

The allotment was only a short drive away from an apartment block where Brueckner was registered while living in Hanover, and the 'Havana Club' bar which he is thought to have frequented is also nearby.

One gardener said in July that Brueckner had lived off-grid at the allotment in 2007 and talked about planning his return to southern Europe.  

'I remembered his face from the pictures in the news. And I remember his van and his dogs. I had completely forgotten about him up until then,' said Wolfgang Kossack, 73.

German media says Brueckner received at least two criminal convictions from a Hanover court, one for forging documents in 2010 and another for theft in 2013.  

He split his time between Germany and Portugal from 2013 to 2015, prosecutors in Hanover have said.

Brueckner lived in the Algarve for much of the period from 1995 to 2007, and German prosecutors say he received a phone call from a Portuguese number around the time of Madeleine's disappearance in May 2007.

Brueckner made a living doing odd jobs in the area where Madeleine disappeared, and was also known to have burgled hotel rooms and holiday flats.

Weeks after the allotment search, authorities indicated they had been looking for digital storage devices, but Brueckner's lawyer accused them of 'desperation'.

Since taking the lead in the case earlier this year, German police have struggled to explain what evidence they have about Madeleine's disappearance.  

Last week, a leaked memo revealed that Portuguese investigators were 'shocked' by the lack of concrete evidence after being briefed on the case against Brueckner.

Before that, there was confusion about whether German authorities had specific evidence that Madeleine was dead, as they initially implied they did.

Madeleine's parents, Kate and Gerry McCann, have denied receiving a letter from German investigators stating that 'there is evidence or proof' Madeleine is dead.

German prosecutor Hans Christian Wolters, who is leading the German investigation into Madeleine's disappearance, said that a letter had been written to the couple, but would not reveal what it said.

The Metropolitan Police maintain their active investigation into Madeleine's disappearance, Operation Grange, is a missing person inquiry as there is no 'definitive evidence whether Madeleine is alive or dead'.

Portuguese authorities are also continuing their investigation and earlier this month searched a series of wells in the Algarve region.  

Brueckner is currently in prison for an unrelated drugs conviction, and he is yet to begin a sentence for raping a 72-year-old American woman in Portugal in 2005.

In September, a European court rejected an appeal he had made on procedural grounds against his extradition from Italy to Germany in the drugs case.

A career criminal, he was identified as the new lead suspect in June after German police released a trove of new evidence including details of his cars and phone numbers, urging people to come forward with new tip-offs.

This week it emerged that the 43-year-old was injured while being taken to a parole hearing in Braunschweig.

The Braunschweig court said he sustained injuries to his ribs when law enforcement officers were putting ankle cuffs on him before the hearing Monday.

The court said he was treated in hospital and the parole hearing took place, and he was later returned to prison.

For crying out loud   !

Note to tabloids near, far and wide .... Madeleine McCann was not abducted, therefore no abductor.  Feel free to keep reporting on Christian Brueckner but leave the name Madeleine McCann out of your salacious carp - show some respect for a child's memory.

Christian Brueckner is not the prime suspect in the disappearance of Madeleine McCann.  Her parents Gerry and Kate McCann are the prime suspects until such times as they are pronounced innocent by a court of law.  Even if the case reaches statute limitation they will remain the prime suspects for eternity.

Rant over.

Police in Madeleine McCann case receive 'interesting' pictures from British tourists

EXCLUSIVE: Police claim to have possible new leads in the disappearance of Madeleine McCann as holiday photos might have 'some interesting things on them'

ByAndy Lines

Police probing Madeleine McCann’s abduction have received photos taken by British tourists in Praia da Luz showing “interesting things”.

Prime suspect Christian Brueckner, 43, is back in jail following hospital treatment for two broken ribs which, he alleges, came from a scuffle with guards.

Chief prosecutor Hans Christian Wolters said: “We got leads from England, including ones from tourists on holiday in Portugal during this time.

“We got some photos where there might be some interesting things on them.

"There are quite good leads we are following up.”

But he said the information would take time to pursue and when the UK leaves the European Union this could take even longer as “many things can’t just be clarified at short notice”.

There were reports in Germany of developments in the case of three-year-old Madeleine who vanished on holiday in the Portuguese resort of Praia da Luz in May 2007.

But police in Hanover categorically denied any searches carried out were linked to her disappearance.

Mr Wolters said the formal hurdles in the McCann case post-Brexit will get bigger.

He said: “In the EU everything was unified, and there was a uniform legal assistance between the European countries.”

But when the UK leaves he said Germany would have to “make a formal request, which means that we then write a very formal letter and then query everything individually”.

Phone records put Brueckner near the scene on the night Madeleine went missing.

He is serving a jail term for drug offences in Kiel, Germany.

He was sentenced to another seven years for raping a pensioner in Praia da Luz in 2005 but is appealing against his conviction.

Cobblers!

I have long thought that Brexit may have some big impact on this case, now is the case covered up by the British Government or the EU? Will support for the McCanns end once we leave the EU?

Tony Blair was probably the first to rush to the aid of the McCanns, he even forfeited his PR officer to control what came out in the press on this case. Remainer Blair has immunity from prosecution and it was he who doubled our contributions to the EU, he was also pulling the strings to thwart Brexit. Why? Would he lose his immunity? What was he covering up that would be exposed in the McCann case?

So the Sun says the U.K. POLICE have only now sent Photos of relevance to Herr Wolters?

Photos that have been in their possession probably as long as the Phone Masts dump? 

Brexit is indeed a worry for some people I think, some more than others!

I too got some photos taken by tourists in the area at the time.
They do show some interesting things
They were on Flickr. and still are.
The account of the interesting things they show is in the public domain
in Chapters 12,13,14, 15 and 28

Mr Wolters said the formal hurdles in the McCann case post-Brexit will get bigger.

He said: “In the EU everything was unified, and there was a uniform legal assistance between the European countries.”

But when the UK leaves he said Germany would have to “make a formal request, which means that we then write a very formal letter and then query everything individually”.

That's not strictly true.

At the time of the Portuguese investigation in 2007/2008, international policing protocol was in existence, hence the application for information by the rogatory processes. It was said they cut corners, using direct contact, in order to save time but somehow I think it was more a case of being compromised, forced, into the situation.

Officers from Leicester police, the CEOP, the diplomatic corps and such like, all rapidly descended on Portuguese soil for a bit of the action. That simple act of interference broke the international policing code of practice before the investigation even got under way.

I wonder just how much was borderline illegal.

Chief prosecutor Hans Christian Wolters said: “We got leads from England, including ones from tourists on holiday in Portugal during this time.

“We got some photos where there might be some interesting things on them.

"There are quite good leads we are following up.”

I wonder who sent Herr Wolter these interesting photographs

Madeleine McCann suspect's ribs broken 'after guards refused to let him smoke'

Christian Brückner 'fell against wooden cell bed after guards kicked his legs from under him'

By Justin Huggler Berlin 19 November 2020 • 3:18pm

The prime suspect in the disappearance of Madeleine McCann allegedly suffered two broken ribs when he fell during an altercation with court officials after he was refused permission to smoke.

Christian Brückner was taken to hospital for treatment following the incident in the northern German city of Braunschweig on Monday.

His lawyers have filed a criminal complaint against court officials over the incident, but the full details of what took place have only now begun to emerge.

The incident began when Brückner, who had been transferred to a holding cell ahead of a court appearance in connection with another case, was told he could not smoke, according to an account leaked to Zeit newspaper.

The convicted paedophile and rapist reacted by staging a furious protest, smearing the walls of the cell with yoghurt and blocking the toilet with paper. Officers intervened and in the course of the altercation, Brückner’s legs were kicked from under him and he fell against the wooden bed, breaking two ribs.

The details emerged as Brückner’s application for parole in another case was rejected on Thursday and judges ruled he should remain behind bars.

German authorities have not confirmed what happened inside the courthouse but the account has been backed by Brückner’s lawyers, one of whom claimed he witnessed officers filming with a smartphone as ambulance workers treated his client’s injuries following the incident.

Friedrich Fülscher claimed he asked the officers to stop, but had to call a judge to get them to delete the video.

“The officers were enjoying themselves. In my opinion, that allows one to draw conclusions to be drawn about the actual events, but in any case it was extremely unprofessional and inappropriate,” Mr Fülscher said.

Brückner was identified as a suspect in Madeleine McCann’s disappearance in June. German prosecutors claim they have evidence she is dead and say they are treating the case as a murder investigation, but Scotland Yard still consider it a missing persons inquiry.

The 43-year-old career criminal is currently serving a 21-month sentence for drug offences, and was transferred to the Braunschweig courthouse on Monday ahead of a routine parole hearing.

On arrival he was taken to a holding cell in the courthouse, where officers allegedly taunted him with comments such as “Nice to see you back!” and “We’ve got a very special room for you today, suite number 2!”

According to details leaked to the German press, when he asked if he could smoke, the guards replied, “We decide who gets to smoke here”.

Brückner then staged his protest by smearing the walls with yoghurt and blocking the toilet. Officers moved in to restrain him. They handcuffed him and ordered him to kneel so his legs could be shackled, and when he did not comply his feet were knocked from under him.

“The chances of a restrained person injuring himself in the presence of officials are limited,” Johann Schwenn, another lawyer for Brückner said.

“Unfortunately, an attack by officers in the manner described by our client would not be an isolated case. The presumption of innocence is sometimes difficult for the police and judiciary, especially when it comes to an alleged sex murderer. Then inhibitions fall away.”

The incident comes a week after the Portuguese press reported a leaked memo from their Policia Judiciaria which said they were “shocked” after being briefed on the case by German prosecutors, adding there is “no evidence, just speculation”.

Brückner’s application for parole was rejected on Thursday after judges ruled his early release “could not be justified, taking into account the security interests of the general public”. The court noted he had several previous convictions and had previously broken parole conditions.

Even if he had been granted parole, Brückner would have remained behind bars. He is also facing a seven-year sentence for rape. He has appealed but will be remanded in custody until his appeal is heard.

Tch tch tch - shame on you Mr Telegraph, shame on you!

This is like the proverbial shaggy dog story.

I don't give a kippers do-da about 'he who musn't be named', Christian Brueckner but just leave Madeleine McCann's name out of it! Have you no shame?

Mind, it was jolly decent of the German police to supply him with a mask, knowing his fetish for such facial adornments - before they knocked him to the floor and broke his ribs allegedly!

Madeleine McCann suspect, Christian B, denied parole over expected 'relapse'

A German court says it has not found "any stabilising factors that would keep Christian B from committing crimes again".

By Andy Hayes, news reporter

Thursday 19 November 2020 17:28, UK

The suspect in the Madeleine McCann case has been denied parole - partly because he is considered likely to "relapse".

A court in northern Germany said Christian B, as he is known under German privacy laws, has a long criminal record and has violated parole regulations in the past, including those relating to narcotics.

He is currently serving a sentence in Kiel for drug dealing.

The court in Braunschweig said it did not want to be responsible for releasing the convicted paedophile because public safety could be endangered.

"We expect a relapse with heavy crimes from him," it said.

"We haven't found any stabilising factors that would keep Christian B from committing crimes again."

The German drifter is the prime suspect in the disappearance of Madeleine McCann, who was almost four when she vanished from a holiday apartment in a Portuguese holiday resort in 2007.

The 43-year-old had been living nearby and was identified three years ago by German police, who are trying to build enough evidence to charge him.

Braunschweig prosecutor Hans Christian Wolters has said he believes Christian B was responsible for Madeleine's disappearance and that he has evidence she is dead.

He continues to appeal for information about the suspect's movements and Madeleine's disappearance.

Earlier this week, Christian B was injured while being taken to the court hearing.

He sustained rib injuries while officers were putting ankle cuffs on him on Monday, the court said.

He suffered two broken ribs and needed hospital treatment, according to the national newspaper Bild.

The way in which he was shackled and the "following course of events" are being investigated, the court added.

Surely no one expected Brueckner to be granted bail - not even Breckner himself. Maybe the matter can be dropped now, at least as regards media interest outside Germany.

CELL SMASH Madeleine McCann suspect Christian B ‘refuses to let cell attack lie’ as he ‘sues’ prison guards for ‘breaking his ribs’

Exclusive

24 Nov 2020, 11:58Updated: 24 Nov 2020, 14:13

THE prime suspect in the abduction of Madeleine McCann is set to bid for compensation following an alleged “cell attack”.

Christian B claims he was left with two broken ribs after a "fight" with prison guards last week.

Now the 43-year-old - who spent one hour in hospital after the incident - allegedly wants an apology and a compo payout.

“He is refusing to let this lie," a source told Sun Online.

"He wants the authorities to say sorry and he wants compensation for the injuries he sustained," the source claimed.

But they added: "The guards in charge of him inside think he is just trying to stir up trouble and play system."

Convicted rapist and paedophile Christian B allegedly started the scuffle after "throwing a tantrum'' in his cell, smearing it with yoghurt and blocking the toilet with loo roll.

A source at the Braunschweig courthouse where the incident happened said: ''He got angry at being filmed and complained.

"He reacted angrily and when he refused to put the shackles on there was a more violent tussle and he hurt himself.''

Speaking to The Sun Online, his lawyer Friedrich Fulscher said Christian B had suffered serious injuries after "dirtying" his cell.

But now a source says that ever since Christian B returned from his short A&E jaunt, "he has made one thing crystal clear - he wants someone to pay for what happened”.

The Sun Online understands the suspect plans to point to the fact a female official was caught filming part of the attack on her mobile phone.

She was later ordered to delete footage by a judge.

“[Christian B] believes this footage was deleted as it would have shown the officers assaulting him," our source continued. "He thinks the woman should be made to come forward and at least say what she saw on oath.”

Mr Fuelscher confirmed Christian B has filed a formal complaint.

But he refused to comment on whether his client was aiming to secure compensation in the future or any other details about his complaint.

Pictures last week showed the convicted rapist getting into an ambulance in ankle shackles.

Guards who restrained him claim he fell, but the convicted sex pest says he was assaulted.

What rubbish !!!

Christian Brueckner is not the prime suspect in the case of Madeleine McCann's abduction - Madeleine Mccann was not abducted.

Still no further developments in the Hannover house search that the British Press linked to Christian B.

Data is still being viewed by the Police who described the tip off they received as being “thin”. No further information is being given out so far in order to protect the Suspect from coming to harm.

Should it be proved to be False information was supplied to the Police, Oberstadtsanwalt (Chief prosecutor) Herr Klinge warned the suspect may be liable for a punishment between 3 months and 5 years in Prison.

NEW CELL Madeleine McCann suspect Christian B to be transferred to maximum security prison ahead of questioning in New Year

Exclusive

   29 Nov 2020, 15:47Updated: 29 Nov 2020, 15:47

MADELEINE McCann suspect Christian B is moving to a maximum security prison ahead of questioning in the New Year.

The convicted paedophile and rapist 43, is currently serving a 21-month drugs sentence and is in isolation for his own safety.

In January, that term will end and he will be moved from Kiel maximum security prison to one 200 miles south in Lower Saxony at either Celle or Wolfenbuttel.

Both are Category A maximum security.

Christian B has already spent time in Wolfenbuttel when he was on remand ahead of his trial last year for raping a 72-year-old woman in Praia da Luz in 2005 - just two years before Madeleine vanished.

MAXIMUM SECURITY

Judges at Germany's Federal court confirmed the sentence earlier this month and while on remand investigators used an informant to spy on him to gain evidence for their investigation into Madeleine's disappearance.

The move will make it easier for prosecutors based at Braunsweig to question him in connection with the Madeleine case, and two other sex crimes they are trying to pin on him.

Christian B was identified as the prime suspect in the Madeleine disappearance last June by German investigators.

They said they had ''concrete evidence'' she was dead and that he was responsible, although no charges have been brought yet.

'CONCRETE EVIDENCE'

A source close to the case said: ''(Christian B) hasn't been questioned yet in connection with the Madeleine inquiry as the evidence is still being gathered and checked but the idea is to wait until he is closer to where the team are based.

''A 640km round trip (400 miles) every week would waste a lot of time and resources and now we know he will be in prison until 2026 we know where he is and we can get to him easier.

''The feeling is though he won't say anything even when we do see him but at least it will make it easier.''

Prosecutor Hans Christian Wolters told The Sun: ''In Germany, the execution of sentences is basically the federal state in which the conviction took place.

''This also has cost reasons, because each federal state only wants to pay for the execution of sentences for which it is itself responsible.''

Lawyer Friedrich Fulscher, who is defending him and insists the police have the wrong man, said: ''It's very likely he will be transferred in January but I have no comment to make.''

https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/uknews/13330977/madeleine-mccann-suspect-christian-b-maximum-security-prison/

What an utterly disgraceful example of tabloid press reportage.

'CONCRETE EVIDENCE'

A source close to the case said: ''(Christian B) hasn't been questioned yet in connection with the Madeleine inquiry as the evidence is still being gathered and checked but the idea is to wait until he is closer to where the team are based.

''A 640km round trip (400 miles) every week would waste a lot of time and resources and now we know he will be in prison until 2026 we know where he is and we can get to him easier.

''The feeling is though he won't say anything even when we do see him but at least it will make it easier.''

I can't believe I've just read that, what absolute nonsense.

Still, I guess it's a good lead-up to the inevitable twaddle the readers will be subjected to in the course of the next four weeks. Another Christmas passes without the girl - what was her name?  The misery never stops for Kate and Gerry, not only are they living without the toddler but the latest suspect refuses to tell all.

Christmas is coming, the Fund is getting lean - please put some money in our campaign machine. Or a plain brown envelope addressed to Kate and Gerry - Roafley.  It'll get there!

The Waily Snail has this to say ..

The chief suspect in the disappearance of Madeleine McCann is being moved to a maximum security former Gestapo guillotine jail ahead of interrogation in the New Year.

Christian Brueckner, 43, a convicted rapist and paedophile, is serving a 21-month sentence on an unrelated drugs matter at a prison in Kiel.

In January, he will be transferred south to the Category A Wolfenbuttel prison to start a seven-year sentence for raping a 72-year-old woman in Praia da Luz in 2005.

Wolfenbuttel was an infamous execution centre used by the Nazis to hang and guillotine deserters, PoWs, and civilians during the Second World War.

Brueckner was previously remanded at the prison ahead of last year's trial for raping the elderly American woman.

She was attacked just two years before Madeleine disappeared from the same Algarve resort.

Earlier this month, a court in Karslruhe rejected Brueckner's appeal against the 2005 rape conviction and confirmed his seven-year sentence.

The move will make it easier for detectives in Braunschweig, around 15 minutes' drive away, to question Brueckner about the Madeleine case, as well as two others.

A judicial source told The Sun: 'Brueckner hasn't been questioned yet in connection with the Madeleine inquiry as the evidence is still being gathered and checked but the idea is to wait until he is closer to where the team are based.

A 640km round trip (400 miles) every week would waste a lot of time and resources and now we know he will be in prison until 2026 we know where he is and we can get to him easier.

'The feeling is though he won't say anything even when we do see him but at least it will make it easier.'

The reason that Brueckner is being moved to a prison in central Germany is because sentences are served in the state that hands them down.

Keeping prisoners is expensive and under Germany's federal system the states are obliged to deal with their own prisoners rather than it being handled by a central judiciary.  

Even though Brueckner is a suspect in the McCann case, prosecutors have said they do not yet have enough evidence to hold him on that case alone.

Madeleine was three years old at the time of her disappearance in 2007 from an apartment where her family was on holiday in Praia da Luz in Portugal's Algarve region.

German authorities in June said they had identified Brueckner, a German citizen, as a suspect in the case and were investigating him on suspicion of murder.

Earlier this month, Brueckner suffered two broken ribs in an incident at a German court and was treated in a hospital, but was then able to return for a hearing that same day, authorities said.
