Madeleine McCann

I hope something will come of this latest theory, but I'm not that hopeful.

Shocking the way the Portuguese police AND the UK detectives failed to see this aspect around the time or even soon after the child's disappearance. But maybe they did and dismissed it for lack of evidence or something.

I don't rate the German police much either. Cannot see how they can say categorically that the child is dead, but have no idea how she died, and have no body. Maybe they have some video evidence or something, shudder.

But we shall see I suppose if this helps matters progress to a conviction or not. I sincerely hope it does.

So why didn't the British police pick up on years ago when he was passed on?

I don’t know why you keep asking this question as if someone on this thread holds the answer. We don’t know and couldn’t possibly know. Any insight into why yourself?

There's something odd about the whole thing.


Apparently the incident in the pub happened like 6 years ago.


All of sudden the Germans are coming out with all this we have evidence but no real evidence.


If they've known about what was said in the pub all this time why now


If they didn't whats happened with this guy recently they want to put all that out now


and why did 12 years after it all did your man say a German guy was going to be framed.


why didn't he say it 10 years ago. or when they past it off to British police


why 12 months from when all this came out.

He's a very, very nasty bit of work. And he's into kiddies #puke

What he’s done so far is disgusting and what he’s been accused of brings it to a new level but he doesn’t have that “Oh he looks like an evil person” look about him and that’s his most dangerous attribute I’d say. Isn’t their honor amongst thieves when he has to be moved to isolation for his own safety. Pity somebody didn’t get a hold of him.

Maybe because, as you say yourself, it was just a guy in a pub talking shlt, and wasn’t worth investigating? And since then they have found something more substantial that they are not willing to disclose at the expense of a fair trial, but still need public help with?
Most people who have any kind of minor grasp on how these things tend to work would understand that.

But what about the peado in the area who changed his reg plate the next day who had previous? It was all so obvious a few posts ago ?



Why did it not sound obvious to British police to look into him?

For me the German Police are giving so much away to get the final piece but surely he can’t get a fair trial now as he’s plastered all over every paper worldwide now. At the start they didn’t have all the info he’s collected since in as far as crimes and related crimes maybe, I’m shocked they didn’t investigate him and the two guys who were “fostering “ German kids at the time that he rented a place with back then. BBC News were in that village in the last week.

Again we don’t know the level of detail or quality of reports furnished to the uk police. What seems to e so easy to see now that the snippets are being pieced together outside a wave of other information makes it seem easy to us, but who knows what they got. Badly translated files? Sketchy details? We don’t know.
Even I question why this toerags then girlfriend didn’t piece things together when he told her he had an awful job to do in prai the day before Madeline vanished and then when she asked if he knew anything about it after the fact told her not to even go there........ i think she reported this too, so who knows what influences were at play.

I don’t know, is the long and short of it. But it’s being looked into now and looks promising. Let’s be thankful for that.

By the way in the same breath you’re saying things like “a car that was forensically checked and found to be clean”, “a guy in a pub chatting shlt” and then lambasting the British police for not being thorough enough.

Make up your mind would you.

Sorry I missed your edit.


Not lambasting them at all.


I'm just curious as to why they showed so little interest.

retro:electro wrote: »

Maybe for the same reasons you are showing him so little interest yourself.
Fella chatting shlt etc etc..

Yet weird a prediction of framing would come about no ?

retro:electro wrote: »

Not weird at all considering the source.

So there's enough there for the British police to ignore and pass off.


Yet this incompetent predicts a framing of someone who the British police have no interest in?


Then 12 months afterwards we start to hear about zee German


That's bloody weird.

Maybe his name was being circulated in certain circles, and there is new information available to the powers that be that back up the suspicion? Who knows? All I know is Amal has a vested interest in making the McCanns look as suspicious and guilty as possible. Of course he is going to cover his own ass and say that if he got wind of this new information. Most sensible people just disregard anything that comes out of that chancers mouth.

Hard to disregard it though when 12 months later pretty much out of no where or at least for the public at least we're talking about a German with not much to go on apart from someone said X in a pub drunk.


If this information was available 12 months ago, why was this appeal not done 12 months ago? How would a randomer get this from a competent police force?


Something gotta give.

The Portuguese police stated the British police requested no further information.


If it was sketchy, would you not reach out for clarification ?

Cried as a form of speech.....not crying tears.

If anything, with his comment there, rather than confessing I think he was referring to the McCanns being the perpetrators.

I thought he was referring to her been better off dead than the alternative

I think he implied she is better off that way with those parents, and gave an excuse as to how the parents got rid of the evidence.
