Extract from Jon Clarke's new book: 'My Search for Madeleine McCann'

Jon Clarke
Jill Havern/peter macloud and Tony Bennett (all warned and tackled by UK police and courts over lies and claims about the McCanns) - anyone interested can buy the book and read all about this tragic trio… a Ukip supporter, a retired detective and a driving instructor. No one should believe a word from trolls like them

For the record, and so that it shall be clearly understood
I have never been warned or tackled either by UK Police or Courts over lies and claims about the McCanns.
Jill and Tony will speak for themselves.
I have never told a lie about the McCanns so far as I am aware.
The lies and claims are entirely Clarke's

To the contrary I have been in regular contact by email with Operation Grange, have submitted several dossiers of evidence to them
and have received courteous acknowledgements

Nope, me neither. But then Jon has a reputation for being economical with the truth. But he did investigate the wrong person anywho so maybe there's time yet.

Notice how Jon the 'Journalist' can't won't even spell your name correctly and has put it all in lower case as a mark of juvenile disrespect...

p.s Your ebook blog had squillions of hits yesterday...

...mainly from Spain  

exactly as kate did in her autobiography 'madeleine'

I wonder what H. Fülscher thinks about the book and the condemning of his client, who has not yet been interviewed by H. Wolters, and certainly not by Clarkseau.

Actually I know what he thinks.  He has read it, and he has told me.
Not impressed, is, I think, an accurate euphemism and paraphrase of his email.

Will Herr Fülscher have to wait until Brückner is convicted or cleared before he can Sue anyone for libel?

Will Brückner have to wait ?

Will I have to wait ?   Since it clear from the Blurb that Clarke is just about to repeat the libels against TB and me that he has in the past, 
and which he has been repeatedly warned about publishing and for which he has refused to retract, explain or apologise, 
even though I provided him with a form of words acceptable to me.

There is no time limit on the Investigation phase. Under German law, Herr Wolters is under no time pressure from the State. Which is why I think they have saved their ‘most perfect Suspect’ until now.

I have no idea how Spanish law would apply in your Case Peter?

I've created this new facebook group today in readiness for debating Jon's book with facebook people, aswell as chatting about it here of course...if anyone would like to join?

"UKIP supporter" is hardly an insult.

Nigel Farage and UKIP led and dominated the campaign for the Referendum, which was held in 2016, and on 31 January 2020 we LEFT the European Union.

I joined UKIP in 1997 and was pleased to play a minor role in getting our first-ever UKIP M.E.P., Jeffrey Titford, elected in June 1999. I was UKIP's Eastern Region Campaign Co-ordinator.

Strange thing is, in October 2007, as the Madeleine McCann case was buzzing around my head, my wife and I had a holiday in Andalucia, Spain. We stayed in a B&B two nights in one of the area's famous 'white villages'. When we came down for breakfast, there were huge piles of The Olive Press stored all over the floor, ready to be delivered to various outlets. We had stayed in the house of Jon Clarke's Distribution Manager!

I asked to read a copy. There was a 2-page spread written by Jon Clarke himself. He boasted about being "the first journalist on Praia da Luz" and later in the article he explained why he was 'convinced' the McCanns were innocent.

I knew he was lying. By that time, a plan was already forming in my mind to try and bring a private prosecution against the McCanns for child neglect...

...the rest, as they say, is history...

"Jon Clarke was the first journalist on the scene when Madeleine McCann went missing in 2007 . . ."
NO HE WASN'T
There is YouTube news footage showing him in a group of at least 6, comparing notes and reading what they had found out. He got there comparatively late having driven the 4 hours from his home in Spain.
So the first sentence is a lie. One he has repeated over the years.
Read the rest with this in mind.

5.0 out of 5 stars Impressively comprehensive

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 September 2021

Verified Purchase

I devoured all 437 pages of this book in less than three days.

And although I must have already read hundreds of thousands of words about this case over the years, it had plenty of information I didn't know.

Jon Clarke has clearly carried out a comprehensive and forensic investigation of the case in order to write it.

But equally impressive is the way he successfully takes the reader on his journey investigating it - from the morning this case first began, right up until the present day - with a very readable writing style, which made me want to keep on reading right until the end.

I would recommend it to anyone, from people who have very little knowledge of this mystery to those who are experts on it, including the authorities now investigating.

5.0 out of 5 stars A rigorous investigation into the mysterious Madeleine McCann case

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 September 2021

There is no doubt that Jon has become more immersed in this case than almost anyone… and his knowledge and expertise easily explain why no-one should believe the conspiracy theorists and oddballs who still blame the parents!
Instead he builds a very thorough and detailed understanding of the prime suspect Christian Brueckner by talking to those who know him best as well as police and prosecutors.
The seedy underworld of the costas of Spain and the Algarve is there for all to see. … and his probe of the hundreds of paedophiles there is excellent, as his honest and alarming study of the rise of child pornography over recent years.
All parents will want to have a read of this book.
In fact, it’s essential reading.

What a load of nonsense

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 September 2021
This novel should really be under crime fiction. Clarke, not known for fair and honest reporting, has pictured a man on the front cover and is suggesting that he is guilty of abducting Madeleine McCann when the man has not even been questioned yet. To me, this book is highly libelous and both the publisher and Amazon should be mindful of this.

EXCLUSIVE:  BRAVE WPC CONFIRMS HUNT FOR 'BLONDE ACCOMPLICE' OF MADDIE SUSPECT CHRISTIAN BRUECKNER

It came after she arrested Brucknew [ ] in a childrens park during a local fiesta.

By Jon Clarke (Publisher and Editor) - 8 Sep,2021 @11:15

A PLUCKY policewoman who arrested Madeleine McCann suspect in 2017 says police tried to locate a 'blonde man' who was with him that night.

Off-duty officer Vanessa Viera revealed in a new book that she and her colleagues searched around the area trying to find the potential accomplice

Yeah, it's self-published - I doubt a reputable publisher would have touched it with a bargepole especially with the photo of CB on the front who hasn't even been questioned by the police yet.

We get a proper thrashing on this forum - as you might imagine   well, actually PeterMac does - which is understandable considering Jon's bewk is his way of getting his own back on Peter for trashing his made up stories in the e-book.

Interesting that for the FIRST TIME he spells my name correctly, and gets my police service and rank correct.
Why wait till now ?
Some of the rest is just journalistic tosh and fluff, but he uses the form "–or his aliases or colleagues–" which I suppose he intends to give him immunity to Libel suits . . .

I am from a previous generation and served in a previous century, indeed a previous Millennium.
I am used to abuse from drunks, druggies, criminals, the mentally ill,  . . . and journalists.

Sleep well..
I shall.

And will then reply. Here. Since we know he reads it.

After which, we will reply to his reply, won't we?

Jon Clarke writes:

There was a highly credible sighting of a man fitting his description on May 28, 2007, at Tunnels ­restaurant in Alcossebre, a little-visited seaside town north of Valencia. 

This part of the coastline sees few British tourists, which would have been important for B if he was travelling with ­Maddie, who was by then known to everyone in the UK. 

The restaurant sits in a wild, ­isolated place called Capicorb and I spoke to two witnesses who are certain that they saw his ­yellow-and-white VW Westfalia van with German plates there. 

One of them saw a girl identical to Maddie walk out of the restaurant around 11am and get into it.

They were so sure, they even made a note of the number plate – BMS 1049. 

Juan, a handyman at the restaurant, still swears: “It was Maddie.”


The Mail 07.06.20 wrote:


According to the witness, Madeleine was seen at 11am on May 28, 2007 – three weeks after she vanished – coming out of popular local restaurant Tunnels in Alcossebre, some 600 miles from Praia da Luz. At the time, Leicestershire Police Detective Constable John Hughes issued an international Interpol alert with a ‘risk to life missing person’ warning demanding that Spanish and German police investigate.
He urged Spanish police to check the location for CCTV and witnesses and asked for the German vehicle keeper details. It is unclear what checks were made.
The police report, issued as part of Operation Task, says: ‘A caller has reported a possible sighting of Madeleine McCann, 11am, 28th May 2007.
‘Location given as a restaurant called Tunnels, in an old castle at an area called Cap Y Corp, Alcossebre, Spain. She was seen to leave with a man in a Volkswagen van.
‘We request the Spanish police check the location for any CCTV or witnesses. We request German vehicle details. Can the vehicle be circulated for a stop and check to be carried out if seen.’

Scotland Yard said Brueckner’s Volkswagen van had a Portuguese registration plate. It is not known whether he changed the registration plate at any time. As part of the appeal for information, the Met Police said in a statement that the suspect had ‘access to this van from at least April 2007 until sometime after May 2007’.
It added: ‘We believe he was living in this van for days, possibly weeks, and may have been using it on 3 May 2007.
‘We are appealing for anyone who may have seen it in or around Praia da Luz on 3 May, the night Madeleine went missing, the days before, or weeks following the disappearance.’
Last night, The Mail on Sunday asked Scotland Yard whether the van’s registration was the same as the one identified in the 2007 sighting, but the force said it was not revealing those details.

Silentscope:

BMS 1049 is not a German registration plate format. It may be Portuguese?

• BM - Bergheim & Erftkreis, North-Rhine-Westphalia
  
  
• https://www.europeanplates.com/information/german-city-codes.html
  
  

Brückner was running the VW Camper on Portuguese plates according to Scotland Yard.
The registration numbers for the Allegro Tiffin Camper A- and the Jaguar MD- were on German plates. 

They do not match.

Even though the reporting witness photographed the vehicle and the number plates, not even OG or the BKA has confirmed the registration number of Brückner’s VW camper at the time.

No photographs have been released of this sighted vehicle publicly.

No mention that it was covered in cartoons.

Not a mention that it was white and yellow.

Just a report that a German, speaking English on his mobile phone, took a Madeleine into a VW Van. Which took 4 days to report.
Giving the Suspect a good head start, and increasing the search area.

So which Portuguese registration did Brückner really have?

I smell a rat.
