I don't think we will hear anything from the mainplayers yet, I suspect they are consulting their legals. As suggested by others here, the silence of the MSM tells us so much.

We wait... waiting

by Cake Lover 31.05.24 15:10

The main players are in a huge panic, I hope. As for the msm, something's gotta give. I'm almost drooling about what's to come.

by Ladyinred 31.05.24 15:29

I'm thinking about the case a lot at the moment because of the new book. All those involved, it's huge. David Payne's early evening visit on 3rd, for example. How is he going to explain that?

by Cake Lover 31.05.24 15:40

You're right, it is huge, and we're in for some surprises, perhaps with a few guest stars.

by sandancer 31.05.24 16:50

The silence is deafening !

No " statements " from the McCanns and their extensive set of legal representatives .

From any of The Tapas 7 , though we've heard nothing from them for years !

From any of the " ex top detectives or investigative reporters "

From those fawning members of msm !

From Operation Grange in the broom cupboard or the Germans and their " concrete evidence " !

It's a waiting game , who will break first ?

Even Jim will be unable to fix this! laugh

But he might have a gamble

by Silentscope 31.05.24 17:36

Jim Gamble was the UK’s top child protection police officer in the UK and heavily involved in the initial search for Maddie.

She disappeared from her family's holiday apartment in Praia da Luz, Portugal, on the evening of May 3, 2007.

British and Portuguese police afterwards launched an enormous operation, but the desperate hunt continues 12 years later.

Mr Gamble believes that police are currently pursuing vital leads and that a vital witness will eventually come forward.

He told Daily Star Online: “I genuinely believe that either a prompt to someone’s conscience or the advances in modern technology will take us to a point in my lifetime where we find out what happened to Madeleine.

Bernt has been more than patient. The McCanns and their Entourage must realise by now that he is not the only Foreign Detective on this Case.

by Cake Lover 31.05.24 18:00

Yes, he has been patient, but what can he do if none of the cast step on to the stage? It may be a stand off at the moment, with them daring him to make another move and reveal more of what he knows.

BS might have been inspired by a Portuguese film, ‘Alice’, released in 2005. Alice, aged 3, mysteriously disappears from her nursery school. In the hope of finding her, her father installs cameras in various parts of the city and every night he watches the movement of the streets, searching through the anonymous crowd for a clue, a sign... Thousands of children's faces haunt Alice's obsessive quest...
Beautiful moving film (and music)

Possibly Bernt is a ‘Person of interest’ Fan?

The Machine could come in handy. Whose number will come up first?

by Liz Eagles 01.06.24 19:24

It would be really nice if members didn't refer to Bernt Stellander as BS.

Hope the Fund's finances are healthy at the moment

by Honesty 01.06.24 19:42

The question of how we should refer to the "Foreign Detective" occurred to me. Mr Stellander? BS? Bernt? I can see the humour of "Bernie" but can't think he's usually referred to as such. I wonder how he prefers to be addressed.

How about TFD, as we seem to like acronyms on this forum.

Jill Havern wrote:Exactly.

But in this one instance you think he's been taken in by a 'sketchy' individual with 'dubious credentials' to the point where he took it upon himself to write letters to Operation Grange - and other people, including MPs about the revelations in this book?

Your doubts are based on what - the size of the book?

Would you prefer it if the publishers printed 3 volumes and risk not all of them being bought at the same time and only having part of the story? Or doing as we did and, for comfort, dissect it into 3?

Does the size of the 'brick' really matter? What it shows is the extraordinary amount of investigative work, over 7 years, that went into this. No one else has been out into the Hills and planted field cameras and captured those of interest on film.

In my opinion we have to give Bernt a chance. For the past 7 years he's known what he's doing...and continues to know what he's doing to make the McCanns and the 'golden nuggets' sweat and see who crumbles.

As Peter pointed out, the McCanns have already submitted their own words to articles, books, official statements, documentaries, videos etc, so they cannot rewrite history.

The only way to know the strength of anything is to test it to destruction. Now forgive me for chuckling but you have to destroy this book before reading it. Genius.

Let's throw caution to to the wind - he's 'our mate Bern'.

by Ladyinred 01.06.24 21:20

Yes, let's not get too worked up. As long as we are polite :

by Cake Lover 01.06.24 21:27

I think we're all in awe of him, and we'll always be respectful. There aren't many people involved in the case we can say that about.

Maybe if he cracks the Case in Germany it will become known as ‘Das Wunder von Bernt’ ?

The Miracle of Bern. Let's hope he has worked a miracle.

I'm not convinced that the McCann 'team' would be befriended by a stranger so easily and I certainly don't feel they would be worried about an email threat! Seriously? They would send someone just to 'check on things' because of an email threat? They've probably been threatened lots of times over the years. How did this man know the 'secret signature' for a start? I'm not doubting the years of work and study this man has put in btw. Sorry for sounding sceptical...

by Cake Lover 01.06.24 22:41

There's nothing wrong in being sceptical, I think most of us have some maybe small reservations, but we 're hoping and praying that he's onto something. I'd like to hear something, anything, about his book from more people than our group; I scour the internet every day, to no avail.
