Norwegian ex-military detective claims to have solved Madeleine case

I don't know if this guy is already known here: A Norwegian former military police detective named Bernt Stellander claims to have solved the Madeleine case on his own. And surprise, surprise, his theories match exactly with what PJ, Amaral, PeterMac, Richard D. Hall, Pat Brown and so many others have already claimed numerous times in the past 17 years:

But what surprises me even more is that some big news outlets in Germany have already published these news.

Normally German and most international news outlets shy away from anything that might incriminate the McCanns and question their narrative, but it seems like even they are now tired of still following the "CB did it" nonsense after nearly four years. This is certainly not going to be liked by the McCanns.

Um den Vermisstenfall Maddie McCann ranken sich seit Jahren zahlreiche Theorien. Nun will ein Hobby-Ermittler den Fall auf eigene Faust aufgedeckt haben.

München – Inzwischen sind es ziemlich genau 17 Jahre her, dass Madeleine (Maddie) McCann verschwunden ist. Inzwischen wäre die Britin 21 Jahre alt, würde sie noch leben. Die damals Dreijährige verschwand am 3. Mai 2007 aus einem Ferienappartement im portugiesischen Praia da Luz, während ihre Eltern essen waren. Ein Hobby-Ermittler aus Norwegen will den Fall nun gelöst haben.

„Habe den Fall gelöst“: Hobby-Ermittler mit neuer Theorie nach Verschwinden von Maddie
„Ich habe den Fall gelöst“, behauptete Bernt Stellander, der nach eigenen Angaben ehemaliger Militärpolizist ist. Für das Verschwinden von Maddie macht der Hobby-Detektiv die Eltern des Mädchens verantwortlich. Während die Eltern essen waren, soll sie unter Einfluss von Schlafmitteln gestürzt und daraufhin verstorben sein. Der Vorfall soll sich bereits am 2. Mai 2007 ereignet haben.

Die Eltern sollen daraufhin eine Entführung inszeniert und die Leiche ihrer Tochter in den Bergen bei Luz versteckt haben. Auch die Freunde der Familie und die britischen Ermittler sollen in die Vertuschung involviert sein. Laut Stellander hätten sich die Beteiligten in Interviews verraten und in Verhören widersprochen. Um seine Theorie zu stützen, platzierte er Wildkameras in den Bergen von Luz, in denen angeblich verdächtige Aktivitäten aufgezeichnet wurden.

Er habe den Eltern immer wieder seine Behauptungen unterbreitet, in der Hoffnung, sie würden einknicken. Dann habe eine der Kameras „verdächtige Personen“ aufgenommen, die „verdächtige Dinge taten“, berichtete Bild. Überreste des Mädchens habe Stellander aber nie gefunden. Auf Nachfrage der Zeitung, weshalb so viele Beteiligte den Fall seit 17 Jahren verschweigen sollten, hieß es bloß: „Darüber kann man nur spekulieren.“ Seine Behauptungen veröffentlichte der Hobby-Ermittler in einem Buch. Zwar habe er anonym seine Thesen der deutschen Staatsanwaltschat vorgelegt. Darauf sei aber nicht reagiert worden, sagte er.

Rätsel um Verschwinden von Maddie: Polizei warnt vor Ermittlungen auf eigene Faust
Stellanders Spekulationen sind nicht die ersten Theorien, die nach dem Verschwinden von Maddie kursieren. Einige glauben sogar, dass sie noch am Leben ist. Die These von Stellander sollte jedoch mit Vorsicht betrachtet werden. Im Sommer 2020 wurde nämlich bekannt, dass es einen Mordverdächtigen aus Deutschland gibt. Christian B. soll das damals dreijährige Mädchen mutmaßlich getötet haben. Der 46-Jährige steht derzeit wegen anderer mutmaßlicher Sexualverbrechen vor Gericht.

Für die Staatsanwaltschaft ist der Fall um Maddie demzufolge noch nicht gelöst. Auch eine baldige Klärung erwartet die Behörde nicht. „Ein Abschluss der Ermittlungen im Fall Maddie noch in diesem Jahr halte ich, auch angesichts des noch bis in den Herbst laufenden Prozesses, für ausgeschlossen“, hieß es auf IPPEN.MEDIA-Anfrage.

Die Polizei warnt immer wieder vor eigenmächtigen Ermittlungen. „Hobby-Detektive mit einem Hang zu Social-Media-Aktivitäten stören eher die polizeilichen Ermittlungen, als dass sie diese effektiv unterstützen würden“, sagte Alexander Poitz, stellvertretender Bundesvorsitzende der Gewerkschaft der Polizei (GdP) im vergangenen Jahr der Deutschen Presse-Agentur (dpa). Dies könnte zu falschen Verdächtigungen führen und Unbeteiligte gefährden. „Lasst die Polizei ihre Arbeit machen“, appellierte die GdP. Auch im Vermisstenfall Rebecca Reusch haben Hobby-Detektive zuletzt für Aufsehen gesorgt.

The Merkur article is basically the German version of the English article I posted above. Since the author is the same and has a German-sounding name, Is suppose the English site I posted above simply overtook the article form them.

Thank you very much

Numerous theories have been circulating around the Maddie McCann missing person case for years. Now an amateur investigator claims to have uncovered the case on his own.

Munich – It's been almost exactly 17 years since Madeleine (Maddie) McCann disappeared. In the meantime, the British woman would be 21 years old if she were still alive. On May 3, 2007, the then three-year-old disappeared from a holiday apartment in Praia da Luz, Portugal, while her parents were out to eat. An amateur investigator from Norway now wants to have solved the case.

"Solved the case": Amateur investigator with new theory after Maddie's
disappearance"I solved the case," claimed Bernt Stellander, who says he is a former military policeman. The amateur detective blames the girl's parents for Maddie's disappearance. While her parents were eating, she is said to have fallen under the influence of sleeping pills and subsequently died. The incident is said to have taken place on May 2, 2007.

The parents are said to have staged a kidnapping and hidden their daughter's body in the mountains near Luz. The friends of the family and the British investigators are also said to be involved in the cover-up. According to Stellander, those involved had betrayed each other in interviews and contradicted each other in interrogations. To support his theory, he placed trail cameras in the mountains of Luz, where suspicious activity was allegedly recorded.

photo gallery He had repeatedly made his claims to the parents in the hope that they would give in. Then one of the cameras recorded "suspicious persons" who were "doing suspicious things," Bild reported. However, Stellander never found the girl's remains. When asked by the newspaper why so many people involved should keep quiet about the case for 17 years, it simply said: "One can only speculate about that." The amateur investigator published his claims in a book. It is true that he had anonymously submitted his theses to the German public prosecutor's office. However, there was no reaction to this, he said.

Maddie's disappearance mystery: Police warn against investigating on their own
Stellander's speculations aren't the first theories to circulate after Maddie's disappearance. Some even believe that she is still alive. However, Stellander's thesis should be taken with a grain of salt. In the summer of 2020, it became known that there was a murder suspect from Germany. Christian B. is said to have allegedly killed the then three-year-old girl. The 46-year-old is currently on trial for other alleged sex crimes.

Some further details to the book: related on X (Twitter):

A little more detailed: 
He claimed the parents hid Maddies body in the village’s cemetery and three weeks later buried her in Luz.
Sounds familiar.
I wonder if he in the book goes in detail for setting the trail cameras (date, the suspicious activities…).

I am curious how a body could be hidden in a cemetery for three weeks undetected;  was it wrapped, or buried underground or placed amongst shrubbery.

The Priest would know, but would never say.

THE BRITISH PRIEST STAGED EVERYTHING

"The priests also know very well what happened that night"

Hubbard knows because he referred to Maddie as ‘was’ not ‘is’.

Past tense.

The British Press is SILENT on the book and its contents, as on th Press conference and the Q&A session.
The GERMAN Press is full of it.
How deep does this conspiracy / D-Notice, Super-injunction go ?

The only significant difference seems to be that Brandt puts the death on Wednesday, whereas one or two of us ended up concluding possibly Sunday/Monday.
Wednesday of course removes the need to 'explain' three days worth of alleged sightings

EITHER WAY IT IS LARGELY IRRELEVANT TO THE MAIN ISSUE , which is
There was NO ABDUCTION. 
She died in the Apartment, 
The parents know she is dead and therefore . . .
THE FUND has been a massive fraud, in England, under English Law, punishable by English courts.

You’re right Peter,I agree with what you say but I don’t believe any
money has been given to the police to help find Maddie for a long,long time.They may have been given cash originally but that was for them to 
have a jolly time in Portugal,I can’t believe our police are that thick not
to know that she died in the apartment and then the body was got rid of
like a bundle of rags.

The 'Live Investigation' excuse also covers Leicester Constabularys and the Metropolitan Police's complete disregard for the possibility of any Parental or Tapas involvement.

They never even checked out the Gaspar's claims.

I thought I would put this here as Bernt Stellander reckons Maddie is buried on the Rocha Negra

Paul James

Kate is said to have a dream where Madeleine is buried on a hill overlooking Praia da Luz.
Was Madeleine buried on a hill overlooking Praia da Luz?

Photo 1 shows the entire scene from the left side of Praia da Luz beach, to the Black Rocks. Rocha Negra means, Black Rock. This entire area until we reach the actual Rocha Negra is solid rock that dates back some 120 million years. To the very far right is the black volcanic rock itself, the remnants of a volcano that forms a natural barrier to walking any further around this part of the coast line. This volcanic black rock is some 70 millions years old.

To get up to the top of the Rocha Negra, you have to go up a steep winding path, which is a solid dirt track. This narrow path and leads you to the beacon, next to the beacon, there in an area of very small, thin trees, set out like an orchard, this area is very public.

Photo 2 This is the view from the top, (leading edge) looking back towards Praia da Luz beach and the village, as you can see in the cliff face, it is layer upon layer of solid rock. Here you can judge the sheer height and distance for yourself. At this point it's some 350 feet straight down, with a very large area of cliff top walks between Praia da Luz and the next town. As you can see, from the outer edge of the cliff face and upper ground level, it is solid rock and stone. There is very limited growth here, consisting of hard dry type grasses and small hard compact hedges and bushes, which are sparse and dense.

Photo 3 Once at the top, you can see the ground is solid (sand) stone (with some areas of natural grass) also with low lying sparse shrubbery. On the next level back down, you can see various dirt tracks and pathways, and due to the rough terrain, hiking is very popular here. Beyond this level you can see the entire village of Praia da Luz. To the right is the red brick build of Baia da Luz and to the far left, (above the beach and to the left) is the church of Nossa Senhora da Luz.

Photo 4 Looking back over Praia da Luz, you can see the two large blocks in the Ocean Club, the large pool and to the left of the pool, is the green rooftops of the Tapas area. From the Tapas Bar at the far left of the picture to 5a at the far right of the picture, is, I would venture to say, this distance is somewhat larger than most people's back garden.

Photo 5 Walking along Praia da Luz beach at the base of the cliffs, (looking up the smallest section of the cliff face) the natural sand soon comes to an end. At the base of the cliffs nearest the beach, there is just huge stones between the very base of the cliffs (in front) and the sea, (behind).

Photo 6 To get to the black rocks, you have to clamber over huge blocks of stone between the base of the cliffs and the sea, at this part, heading towards the black rock, I fell four times. After you pass these huge blocks, there is a very small beach right at the black volcanic rock itself.

Once here at this small beach, there is nowhere to go, the sea comes right in at this area and to try and climb up and over those jaggy black rocks would be perilous. You have to walk back the same way.
So was Madeleine buried here, on a hillside overlooking the beach, where the ground is solid rock with very very little top soil, an area popular with tourist and hikers where you would struggle to bury a bus ticket, never mind a body?

No. Madeleine was not buried on a hill overlooking Praia da Luz.

Two other facts in Madeleine's story which are true; today it would have been Madeleine's 21st birthday, ...and the dogs were right.

I doubt if she will ever be found,he’s trying to sell books.

I don't like to write this, but  as it's the coast, wouldn't it have been easier to have thrown the body into the sea?
