O - my - god... is this lady for real?

I have my own opinion on Ms. Felgueiras and thought she was simply opportunistic and career driven, I fully agree with @Verdi and his assessment. But that lengthy piece she wrote on Facebook... well, I have no words for that. Is she just not very bright or what's wrong with her?? No, Labs can't detect cadaver odor, cadaver dogs also cannot detect DNA - speaking of those sniffer dogs: How can Sandra explain the coincidence of cadaver scent having been detected by British and not Portuguese dogs in the McCanns places and on their belongings *only*?
I think I know what her answer would be: I'm supposed to ask the dogs, right?
Ugh...!

PS: And her stupid waffle about conspiracy theorists and her lame badmouthing of Goncalo Amaral isn't even worth mentioning.

The dogs told the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

It's been two years since I've heard the most diverse conspiracy theories about Christian Bruckner since German justice pointed him out as the murder of Madeleine McCann.
I have my well-educated opinion on this matter , but while I listen, my job is to report facts , not rumors , nor convictions .

But my real duty to public opinion is no less when we are talking about a politician or a police officer. Or a former police officer who relentlessly influenced the public opinion.

For this reason, in 2008, when I read all the volumes of the investigation conducted by Gonçalo Amaral, I found that the alleged evidence he collected against the McCann couple was not evidence but assumptions. A kind of "copy-paste" of what I had done in the Joana case investigation.

The so-called evidence found by the dogs in the room of the apartment where they vacationed and in McCann’s rental car a month after their daughter’s disappearance has not been lab-confirmed to belong to Madeleine . And it was this irrefutable fact by science that led the Portuguese justice system to eliminate them.

But when this truth came public, Gonçalo Amaral had already been removed from the case for speaking to journalists. One of them used a statement from him on "on" [?] and that was why she was removed.

From then on, the said inspector started a fight, writing books and making documentaries insisting on his thesis and accusing the superiors who fired him for not letting him do the job he should because of political pressure.

But the question I ask is, does any good cop start by identifying a suspect and then force his theory to fit into the theory he preconceived?

No. No good investigator does that. But Gonçalo Amaral did it. And insists on doing so.

And that's why there are no eternal truths.

There are facts that will be revealed.

Until 2019, no one had associated Christian Bruckner to the Madeleine case despite him being outside the Ocean Club at the time of his [?] disappearance and being a known pedophile to the Portuguese and German authorities.

I understand that for the Portuguese public opinion it is easier to believe that McCann's negligence by leaving their children alone, while they went to dinner with their friends, turns them into the real culprits.

But this couple has been living with that guilt from day one. 15 years ago.

And that's the only fact we can point them out.

Today, the Portuguese Judicial Police has only one defendant in this case. His name is Christian Bruckner and he had traces of Madeleine in the caravan he was wearing at the time.

Intellectual honesty demands that all who have been convinced by a outdated false theory see reality.

Too bad they stand still in time.

Like the thousands who believe Elvis Presley didn't die or that the man didn't go to the moon.

I do not tell you this for any reason other than my duty of intellectual honesty.

The truth doesn't always please us. But if it's the one that exists, it's the only one we should report.

An emoji for all occasions!  

This is classic..

But my real duty to public opinion is no less when we are talking about a politician or a police officer. Or a former police officer who relentlessly influenced the public opinion.

So .... the media, the press, the pro-McCann documentaries, Swann and Summer, Jon Clark, Tracey Kandohla aka Olive Oyl, the former CEOP bloke, the British police, the British government, Clarence Mitchell, Old Uncle Tom Cobley 'n all .... haven't influenced public opinion - eh?

Is that why team McCann went to such drastic lengths to ban Snr Amaral's book, The Truth of the Lie - eh Ms Felgueiras?

You want truth so lets have it - the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

You can start by telling us exactly where you fit in the defence campaign - big bucks eh?

Strange how McCann supporters (Sandra F. included, of course) always sound like a broken record: "Goncalo Amaral framed the McC" (yadayada), "Joana Cipriano" (yadayada), "not Madeleines DNA in the rented vehicle" (yadayada), "dissenters =trolls and haters/conspiracy theorists" (yadayada) .
One thing about Sandra F.s change of mind bugged me though: Her claim she found out from the PJ files in 2008 that Amaral allegedly lied to her about the DNA - well why didn't she speak up before???

This alone tells me all I need to know about this lady really, so much for her "intellectual honesty" - another .

Frankly, I don't care so much about Ms. Felgueiras particularly, but as a somewhat prominent journalist she has, indeed, a duty towards her viewers! Instead, she choses to insult our intelligence and serves her career advancement purposes .

the lastest about the artificial noses is still; dogs are too good.

martin grime and his trained dogs are part of one of the teams that have worked to get an device called an artificial nose up and working, but the dogs noses keeps beating the artificial ones. 

it was also not really meant to replace the dogs, but to have a control for the places these dogs signal on. and following from control an answer of what it is. but dogs are more than only a nose, they are very able to search every kind or type of surroundings. 

a stationary unit could be helpful in places like an airport, but in the field, or in building that has a lot of furniture around, or even after a blast dogs would win it in versatility. 

the biggest thing is the nose, only when they get at least an score around that of trained dogs, the next fase could be looking into using it by drones. 

it is certainly not reserved for criminal investigations, but also after earthquakes, and other major disasters. 

dog have some negative sides, not their fault of course. you have to do a lot of very serious training, most work best in a set team with always the same handler. all dogs can smell a lot, but are not always trainable, there are a lot of situations that has a lot of danger to those dogs. you also can not stock them, with just some maintenance from time to time. 

dogs are still a magnificent source to use, and on some places they probably still would always the better choice, but a device that is easier (to learn) to use, can be already in stock local, that would be very welcome. 

the biggest factor will be reproducible data, and in human minds that means going from believing into accepting the results are correct. in criminal matter, that still would not be the big decider, there always has to to be made that connection into being a true part of a case to work on. 

even if it gets out into a workable device, it would take still years to made the prototype into a commercial product. the first goal that is set is at least something that could be used in the training of the dogs, not to replace them.

but one of the difficulties still is, we are still not really knowing what exact scent those dogs smell. and when research find that out, i do hope they are able to keep that a secret. all existing artificial 'air the cadaver' would not mislead a dog of the quality of eddy. 

there are already pretty simple to use devices for some other smells, usually the simple ones, and not used as stand alone evidence of something. like a breathalyzer. that one only have to detect the smell of ethanol, the scent of death is always a composition of many components, that also differ in time and circumstances around decomposing. 
for easier concepts of smell there is quite a boom of devices. this is a very nice worked out powerpoint about smell, and smelling, natural and artificial; 

https://www.uc.edu/content/dam/refresh/cont-ed-62/olli/new-tech-sept22.pdf

a shame there is no clear year of making on this. 

i think eddy himself has set a very high standard in the research works done into getting that artificial nose into an evolution to something that one day will work. he and his equals must still be laughing themselves barking mad, somewhere over the rainbow, about us poor morsels trying to make that nose.

" Reporting facts " and " intellectual honesty " !!!????!!!! 

 

Oh dear..... 

She truly lost it... what a sad spectacle.

New evidence found in Madeleine McCann case as German prosecutor is 'sure' suspect killed British girl

By Mia Alberti and Sara Spary, CNN

Updated 1128 GMT (1928 HKT) May 5, 2022

(CNN)A German prosecutor [read Herr Wolters] has said he is "sure" that Madeleine McCann -- the British girl who disappeared from a resort in Portugal in 2007 at the age of three -- was killed by suspect Christian Brückner.

Hans Christian Wolters, who is investigating the case, told Portuguese broadcaster CMTV [read Sandra Fulgeuiras] on Tuesday that investigators had found "new evidence" that connects Brückner, who is a convicted rapist and child sex abuser [?], to the child's disappearance. Brückner is yet to be charged.

"The investigation is still going, and I think we found some new facts, some new evidence, not forensic evidences, but some evidence," Wolters told the broadcaster.

"We are sure he is the murderer of Madeleine McCann," he said.

Wolters was speaking on the 15th anniversary of the disappearance of Madeline -- who was also affectionately known by the name Maddie -- from a holiday resort in Praia da Luz, in the Algarve region, on May 3, 2007.

She went missing from a hotel room during the evening, while her parents, Kate and Gerry McCann, were dining at a nearby restaurant.

Searching for the truth
On May 3, 2007 Kate and Gerry McCann went to a small tapas bar metres away from their apartment to dine with friends. But when Kate returned to do a routine check on their children, she found that Madeleine had disappeared

[It was no different than dining in the garden...]

<<< A crow!

Last month, Portuguese and German officials named Brückner, who is German but lived in the Algarve between 1995 and 2007, as an official suspect.

It was in 2020 that prosecutors first said that they suspected Brückner -- who due to German privacy laws they refer to as Christian B -- had been involved in Madeline's disappearance. They said at the time they believed the child was dead.

It was the first time Portuguese prosecutors identified a formal suspect in the case since clearing Kate and Gerry McCann, who were initially named as suspects in 2007.

In a statement published on April 22, after Portuguese and German officials named Brückner as the official suspect in the case, Kate and Gerry McCann said they "welcomed" the news, as it indicated "progress" in the investigation.

"Even though the possibility may be slim, we have not given up hope that Madeleine is still alive and we will be reunited with her," the couple said on the website set up in their search for Madeleine.

Brückner, who is 45, had previously said he had been with his then-girlfriend during the whole night on which Madeleine went missing, but Wolters told CMTV he had "no alibi."

When asked if his team of investigators had found "something belonging to Maddie" in Brückner's caravan, where he lived at the time, Wolters said he couldn't comment on any details, but added: "I don't want to deny it."

Brückner is currently in jail in Germany for raping a woman in the same area of the Algarve region where Madeleine went missing in 2007.

He has been connected to a string of other crimes [?]. According to documents seen by Reuters, he burgled hotels and holiday flats, and was also caught stealing diesel from a Portuguese harbor and falsifying passports.

CNN's Benjamin Brown, Vasco Cotovio, Jack Guy and Fred Pleitgen contributed to this story.

This leads me to ponder .... did Herr Flick's forensic team use specialist trained dogs to 'search' (that word again) the infamous run-down rust bucket that is now the focal point of rumour?  For Eau-de-Cadaver and/or Eau-du-Sang - was a body transported dead or alive?  

Whatever, they are sure they think they've found something that might possibly implicate the defendant to be or not to be.

That van's had more lives than cuddlecat.  I'll wager it's been through the wash a few times 'n all since May 2007 - and before.

WOOF!!!  WOOF!!!

A child allegedly abducted from holiday accommodation at night, whilst sleeping, would have nothing but the night clothes she was wearing.  It therefore follows, if 'something belonging to the child' has been found - sorry they think has been found, it can only be an item of clothing, or remnant therefrom.  Surely?

After 15 years?  

Pull the other one!

ETA:  And what happened to the huge 'real' campervan allegedly owned, or used, by Brueckner to travel across Europe.  You know, the one that was big enough to hide a small body or 10 tonne of cannabis?

Last time I checked, there is not a scrap of evidence to convict nor condemn Brueckner for any major crime - it's all media and press hype and Ms Felgueiras has the audacity to accuse Snr Amaral of influencing public opinion.

It appears this entire farce hinges on speculation that Christian Brueckner was somewhere around Luz at the time of Madeleine's disappearance, allegedly the night of 3rd May 2007 - because of a phone ping!!!  Pretty flimsy evidence, even then it proves nothing, I don't recall seeing any factual information that places Brueckner in or around the Ocean Club, or Luz, or even Portugal in May 2007 - plenty news reports but nothing conclusive, nothing even remotely convincing let alone factual.

The only people who want Christian Brueckner's name to dominate are those who defend the McCann faction.

Those desperate to paint Gerry and Kate McCann - and their group of friends. as innocent victims.

It's not only mainstream media pushing this fabrication, social media is alive with all things Germanman.

Is any of this " new evidence " they have allegedly found whether forensic or not 
 " concrete " ? 

Two years ago Herr Wolters you informed us the evidence you had against he who shall not be named ( but the media spread his name around quite happily ) was " concrete " ! 

You weren't making that up were you ? 

It's like a very badly written crime novel !   

HC Wolters in 2020: "We have concrete evidence that CB is our guy, but we cannot tell you more - wink wink!".
Sandra F. getting excited.
Herr Wolters in 2022: "We have yet more evidence - wink wink!"
Sandra F. getting even more excited.

'We DO have new evidence… but we did NOT find fibres in Madeleine McCann suspect's van': German prosecutor DENIES bombshell claim but says new clue points to Christian Brueckner

Prosecutor leading Madeleine probe insists new evidence has been found
Clues all point to the involvement of Christian Brueckner, he told MailOnline
He rubbished story that Maddie's pyjama fibres were found in Brueckner's van
Brueckner was named prime suspect two years ago, but has not been charged

By Nick Pisa In The Algarve For Mailonline

Published: 13:49, 5 May 2022 | Updated: 15:11, 5 May 2022

Investigators probing the disappearance of Madeleine McCann have uncovered new evidence but have not found fibres from the missing girl's pyjamas in the main suspect's van, prosecutors told MailOnline today.

Christian Brueckner, 45, was named by police as the prime suspect in the toddler's disappearance two years ago in the hopes that it would lead them to evidence that would allow them to formally charge him.

Hans Christian Wolters, who is leading the case, raised hopes of a breakthrough earlier this week when he hinted that new clues had been unearthed - sparking wild claims that threads from Maddie's pyjamas had been found in Brueckner's van.

But speaking exclusively to MailOnline today - in his first comments since that interview - Wolters rubbished the story, though continued to insist he does have new evidence that suggests Brueckner is the man responsible.



'The whole story about the traces of fibres is total nonsense,' Wolters said.

'In the interview I said that we have found new evidence in the last two years. However, there was nothing [that proves Brueckner's innocence] among them.

'Everything we have found confirms to us our working theory that we are not going in a senseless direction.

'We are happy the suspect is the man responsible and will continue working in this direction. Nothing we have found so far suggests he is not the man responsible.

'I cannot say anything about the further investigations results and individual pieces of evidence at the moment.

'I was asked if we had found evidence of something of Madeleine McCann in the suspect's van and I replied that I could not speak about the investigation, that's all.

We have found no fibres and I can tell you the new evidence we have is not forensic evidence but I'm not allowed to give you any further details.

'We remain convinced that the suspect in prison is the person responsible for the crime. There is no alibi. The suspect did not give us an alibi and we did not find an alibi during our investigations.'

Today, in an exclusive statement given to MailOnline, Brueckner’s lawyer Friedrich Fulscher, also dismissed claims fibres had been found.

The speculation had arisen after Mr Wolters gave an interview to Portuguese TV but the questions and answers appear to have been mistranslated as the interview was carried out in English which is not the native language of either.

Mr Fulscher said in his statement: ’Due to the varied press reports about traces allegedly found in one of my client's vehicles, I consulted the Braunschweig public prosecutor's office.

'It is misinformation spread by a Portuguese journalist. The prosecutor's office has confirmed that there are no traces of any kind in one of my client's vehicles.

'Of course, the public prosecutor's office is also not interested in misleading the public in this way, so that in such cases there is open communication with the defence.'



Madeleine disappeared from the family apartment where she was staying with her family while on holiday in Praia da Luz, Portugal, in 2007.

The three-year-old was sleeping in a bedroom alongside her brother and sister - twins - while parents Kate and Jerry ate dinner with friends in a nearby restaurant on the evening of May 3.

Around 10pm, Kate went to check on the children as part of a rota system devised between the group and found Madeleine was missing.

The disappearance sparked a huge police operation that spanned Europe but failed to find any trace of the girl, and she remains missing to this day.

In 2020, police decided to name Brueckner as their suspect - an unusual move that they hoped would lead people to come forward and help with the investigation.

Brueckner is a convicted drug dealer with a history of sexual offences who is currently serving time in a German jail for the rape of an American pensioner at the Praia da Luz resort two years before Madeleine went missing.

Police say phone records show that Brueckner took a call in the area around Praia da Luz around two hours before Maddie went missing.

But they have so-far been unable to prove that Brueckner was the one who took Maddie, or say what exactly happened to her after she went missing.

Wolters says he believes she was killed in Portugal, but has not said how or where.

Earlier this week it was reported Brueckner had told a US documentary that he was sleeping with an 18-year-old German girl the night Madeleine vanished and was miles from the Algarve apartment at Praia da Luz.

He told the show that the woman was also arrested for carrying illegal pepper spray but MailOnline has obtained the report and shows that she was arrested on May 10 2007 - a week after Madeleine vanished.

Prosecutors are looking at three further rape cases against Brueckner as well as two indecency allegations which all took place in Portugal's Algarve coast between 2004 and 2012 when he was living there.

Mr Wolters added: 'News on the other cases, aside from Maddie, is expected to be available in early June.'

Last week it emerged that Brueckner had a request for early release from his seven-year sentence for rape rejected.

He is thought to be considering an appeal to a higher court and is currently in Oldenburg jail.

Watching xklamation's video upload over on her Portuguese News - Maddie Case 2022 thread..

https://jillhavern.forumotion.net/t17311-portuguese-news-maddie-case-2022#452839

I was reminded of a previous interview with this man about the palatial motor-home allegedly belonging to Christian Brueckner and it's potential for hiding the bodies of children and drugs.  If I remember rightly, the man said he was told by Brueckner that he used it to hide/smuggle drugs.

Can't locate the information at the moment but I did come across this which is well worth another look.  From the Netflix Madeleine McCann Mockuplenty, it prominently features partner's in crime Jon Clarke of the Olive Oyl Press and Sandra Felgueiras of Wherever I lay my Hat.

Hot topics at present..
