Christian Brueckner: To be or not to be

More recently, and even before Kate’s interrogation, during a telephone call between Gerald McCann and the undersigned, he made a reference regarding the investigation, that he was certain that the police did not have any proof that could incriminate them with regard to the death of Madeleine McCann and he said that the police were wasting their time in directing the investigation around the parents.

I bring this to your knowledge.

Quite so.

"You've got no evidence" is for a police officer a clear admission of guilt
and the wording is also critical
"incriminate them with regard to the DEATH . . ."
Gerry said it. Mitchell said it.
And then they talk about "killed her" and Murder . . 

No one else has ever used those words.

I don't believe for a second the authorities in Germany, Portugal or the UK, have a shred of evidence to connect the name Christian Brueckner with past crimes or the disappearance of Madeleine McCann - I have to agree with the words .... 'clutching at straws', the proverbial scapegoat.

The Mirror wrote:Madeleine McCann suspect brags cops 'have no evidence' over links to sex crimes

Who is this Christian Brueckner bragging to? He's reported to be in solitary confinement within a high security prison - did Jon Clarke of the Olive Press manage a special access pass to interview the man within the prison walls when on his Germanic jolly?

The Mirror wrote:Mr Wolters was quoted in My Search for Madeleine as saying there was a “good basis” to believe that he assaulted the ten-year-old.

A good basis ? Do those two words constitute some form of evidence, or is it only a reiteration of Wolter's previous.

If the German authorities have any evidence to suggest the name Christian Brueckner has been involved in a past crime or crimes, including Madeleine McCann's disappearance, they would have interviewed him before now. Not spent days/months/years dangling the carrot. Add to that, if the German authorities have reason to believe the name Christian Brueckner to be any way involved with the disappearance of Madeleine McCann, that information should be passed to the Portuguese police .... full stop !!!

Hogwash!

CONFESSION FEARS Madeleine McCann’s parents break silence on suspect Christian B and reveal their fears if he doesn’t confess

THE parents of Madeleine McCann believe the prime suspect in their daughter’s disappearance will keep trying to evade justice and fear they may never know who snatched her.

It comes as Christian B continues to brag that cops don’t have a “shred of evidence” to link him to Maddie’s kidnap and presumed death plus five other sex crimes.

The convicted sex offender, 44, was first named as Maddie’s alleged abductor in a potentially significant breakthrough by British and German police in June last year.

But Christian B, who has recently been moved to a tougher prison dubbed "Germany's Alcatraz”, for a horrific rape and drugs offences, has still not been questioned about Maddie 16 months on.

A McCann family source told The Sun Online: “Police don’t tell us what’s going on, we’re in the dark because it's an ongoing investigation.

“But if it is him, and there’s no direct and conclusive evidence he may never say a word. He’s not saying a word now.

“He’s locked up for other crimes, so at least he’s in the best place - in jail.

“Portuguese police had looked at him before and last year they looked at him again. We don't know what this means but without a confession we may never know.

“We don't know what evidence police have.

“It may be, sadly, that we may never know what happened to Madeleine. But we hope to find out. We keep hoping after all these years.”

When prosecutors first named Christian B as a suspect Kate and Gerry released a statement supporting the appeal but didn't speak about him directly.

Three-year-old Maddie vanished from a holiday apartment in Portugal’s Praia da Luz in May 2007.

Her parents renowned cardiologist Gerry and ex GP Kate, who has now returned to work full time as doctor to help fight the coronavirus pandemic, cling onto a glimmer of hope the could still be alive.

The couple, both 53, from Rothley, Leicestershire, have vowed never to give up the search.

In May Maddie - remembered globally in an iconic last photo shortly before her fourth birthday - would have turned 18 and become an adult.

The family source told how Scotland Yard - under fire for failing to properly vet Sarah Everard’s jailed for life cop killer Wayne Couzens - had been “brilliant” in their Maddie investigation codenamed Operation Grange.

They said: “The Metropolitan Police have given us a lot of support, at times when their resources have been stretched, and for that we are very grateful. They have been brilliant.”

EXTRA FUNDING
The scaled down Maddie squad has been given nearly £350,000 extra cash to spend trying to nail their prime suspect.

The Sun Online recently reported that the Home Office had approved a Met Police request for extra funding into their hugely costly  £12.5 million inquiry.

The boost comes after Britain’s top cop Commissioner Dame Cressida Dick vowed her officers would continue the painstaking search “until there is nothing left to do.”

She said: "We are working closely with Portuguese authorities and the German authorities, and we will continue until there is nothing left to do.

“There is no funding issue at the moment. So far we have received support every time we have felt there was a line of inquiry to pursue to find out what happened to Madeleine.”

Ms Dick is now facing calls to resign in light of the Sarah Everard police shambles.

'NO EVIDENCE'
Maddie's chief suspect has recently bragged cops don’t have a “shred of evidence” to link him to the missing girl’s case and five other sex crimes.

He is now in solitary confinement at Olenburg prison, near Bremen, Germany.

But three forces - British, German and the original lead Portuguese lead investigator - have so far struggled to find any vital evidence yet to snare him.

German prosecutor Hans Christian Wolters has insisted: “We have gathered new evidence that adds further to the case we are building against our main suspect.

"I’m afraid I cannot say what it is but it strengthens our work. It is not forensic but it is new circumstantial evidence which all adds to the working theory that he is the man responsible.”

During the summer Christian B, jailed for raping an elderly American tourist in Portugal - spoke out for the first time since he was named a suspect.

He wrote a letter slamming the investigation an “unbelievable scandal,” proclaiming his innocence and urging prosecutors leading the case to give up.

He accused them of "bringing shame" on the German legal system by making "scandalous" statements against him without bringing any charges.

In the astonishing outburst he said investigators should resign for "persecuting an innocent person."

Madeleine McCann’s parents ‘in the dark’ as prime suspect hasn’t been questioned

Madeleine McCann’s parents said they fear they may never know what really happened to their daughter.

They have reportedly expressed fears that if the man suspected of abducting their daughter does not confess, they may never get the answers they seek.

Police named Christian Brueckner, a convicted sex offender, as the prime suspect for Madeleine’s disappearance in June last year.

The 44-year-old is currently serving time in a German prison for a number of sex and drug offences, but 16 months after being identified as a suspect he is yet to be questioned by police.

A family source told The Sun that the McCanns felt ‘in the dark’, adding: ‘Police don’t tell us what’s going on, we’re in the dark because it’s an ongoing investigation.

‘But if it is him, and there’s no direct and conclusive evidence he may never say a word. He’s not saying a word now.’

The family said they found some comfort in knowing Brueckner was already in prison, but there were growing doubts.

‘Portuguese police had looked at him before and last year they looked at him again. We don’t know what this means but without a confession, we may never know,’ the source added.

‘We don’t know what evidence police have.

‘It may be, sadly, that we may never know what happened to Madeleine. But we hope to find out. We keep hoping after all these years.’

When Brueckner was named as a suspect in the case. Kate and Gerry released a statement welcoming the development but did not directly reference him.

He has since allegedly bragged police ‘don’t have a shred of evidence’ on him, and were ‘clutching at straws’ by linking him to the case.

Madeleine disappeared from a ground-floor apartment in Praia da Luz in Portugal’s Algarve during a family holiday in May 2007.

And 14 years on, the case is yet to be solved.

NEW EVIDENCE Madeleine McCann suspect Christian B could be charged by Christmas thanks to ‘strong new evidence’

PROSECUTORS claim to have “strong new evidence” on Madeleine McCann suspect Christian B — and could charge him over the case by Christmas.

The rapist, 44, was identified as the prime suspect by German authorities last year.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
That's another fine mess you've gotten me into ....

They have been building a case against him since and officials are hopeful of bringing him to court by the end of the year.

Scotland Yard detectives — said to be initially sceptical of his involvement — are now also confident he is the man responsible for the 2007 disappearance.

German prosecutor Hans Christian Walters told The Sun: “We have strong new evidence against the suspect.

"The investigation is proceeding well and we hope to have an update soon.

“I cannot say when for certain but we are working very hard to solve this case and others where he is a suspect.”

Madeleine, from Leicestershire, vanished aged three from parents Kate and Gerry’s holiday apartment in Praia da Luz, Portugal.

Two years earlier, Christian B raped a 72-year-old American woman living nearby and is now in a German jail for the crime.

He is also being investigated in connection with a rape and indecent assaults that all took place in Praia da Luz when he lived there from 2002 to 2008.

An insider on the German investigation said: “The evidence is strong and puts him in the area where Madeleine vanished.

“It’s a question of time. We hope to bring charges against him for Madeleine and others.”

A British police source added: “The Germans are putting a strong case together and the pieces are coming together.”

A source close to Christian B’s legal team said: “Let’s see this evidence. We have our doubts.”

The Sun can also reveal a complaint by Christian B that he was attacked by prison guards in December has been dropped.

....................

Around Christmas time last year the exact same report was published, only he would be charged before summer 2021, thanks to new strong evidence.

A source close to Christian B’s legal team said: “Let’s see this evidence. We have our doubts.”


Such as the evidence that Madeleine was Abducted, that someone entered, remained, and exited 5A between 2120 and 2135 on 3/5/7

It is THAT bit of evidence which is lacking.
Once that is established, they you can simply "Round up the usual suspects"

That in itself is a very interesting statement.



Unless a world exclusive - like wot Jon Clarke of the Olive Press regularly produces *splutter*, this genre of report generally stems from a central source, a press agency, who distribute throughout the world of journalism. Individual reporters then put their own personal slant on the pool information.

Who feeds the information to the press agencies in the first place is a matter for conjecture.

They should perhaps be sceptical of his existence?

Like Jon Clarke must now be sceptical that it was Madeleine in the VW Van outside the Tunnels restaurant in Alcossebre? Or that it was Brückner driving the Van seen by ‘Juan’ ?

But where are the pictures taken by the Witness?

Where are the Vehicle and the Holiday makers now?

All quiet on the Eastern front in Berlin…

Do they really exist?

Who is Mr Rickwood?

Thank you both for the explanation.

extract from the above 
"According to the criminologist, the woman, 58, and her husband Stefan, 5, were interrogated by Portuguese authorities five days after Maddie's disappearance and the two have denied having seen or witnessed anything suspicious."


In other words, just like Clarke's "sighting" in Alcossebre, it had been dealt with by DCI Amaral within the first few weeks.

‘Brückner’s Van’ in the Satellite photo which can be found without searching thousands of NASA images, just use Google Earth pro. It seems Heriberto was still trying to join that dot after it was checked out by the PJ.

Heriberto later wrote:

I had been told by a reliable source that police investigating the Madeleine McCann abduction have found that the van which appears in the image is a Renault which belonged to a neighbour's friend and was there until August 2007.

But I continued searching images from Landsat and Copernicus satellites programmes, and found some evidence (not proof) that the van maybe was there not only until August 2007, but until April 2011, and perhaps more time.

I have got four pictures at different times showing or not the image of the van:

- October 2006: van image absent. (c) IGP/DGRF.

- June 2007: van image present. (c) Aerodata International Surveys.

- April 2011: van image present at the same place. (c) Maxar Technologies.

- May 2013: van image absent. (c) Maxar Technologies.

An abandoned van which may constitues proof? Maybe abandoned during 4 years or more, since 2007 to 2011? And the van was recovered when the case was getting cold?

I think the Video was shot on arrival in the Port area of Malaga 30.03.

Other photos probably came from his own Computer records.

After Bernard Piro bought the Van from Brückner, he and his Son, Flavio used it as an ‘day trip van’ before it was impounded.
