What's the story with this woman who says she saw Madeleine alive and well and speaking german in P de L, two or three years ago?
Why is she only coming forward now? She was so certain it was her so why didn't she call the police at the time?

Genau!

I thought she did report it and they searched with no luck so it was no followed up, I dunno what link it is on but I recall hearing that lately with the report of that sighting resurfacing cause I remember saying Madeline night not know she’s Madeline.

99.999999% that was not Madeleine she saw,

No, nothing to do with cash tips for goodness sake.
They weren’t tipping him off on where he could find a child to abduct, they tipped him off that the apartments would be empty with easy access during a specific window of time and that it would be ripe for the pickings.
Perhaps they didn’t know that CB was a pedophile and rapist who would take the child too. But there is evidence that this is exactly how he carried out some of his previous crimes so it’s not impossible that he decided to do the same again.

Can't see this being the case at all
If a person gave him that info for a robbery and then released Maddie was missing they would have no doubt alerted the police to CB before 13 years later ,
They could have done so in many of ways not to implicate themselves ,

Iv said form day one this was lone wolf or parents to litte info for it to be anything but that,

You're adding two and two together and getting 50.

It wasn't common knowledge that the kids were left unattended. Some hotel staff new.

Do you think someone would have reported a hotel worker being friends with a criminal such as CB? Would the hotel worker not have come forward themselves or left an anonymous tip?

It doesn't add up.

Nope, a huge range of staff had access to that book with the specific reason for the booking so they would have known the children were alone.
He carried out previous crimes by receiving insider tip offs.

He went pretty much completely undetected from the authorities for 13 years, so yes it’s very believable that it went unreported. He committed many violent crimes in the general area but the true scale of his criminal behaviour went unnoticed until very recently. He got away with most of his crimes for over a decade due to lack of reporting and because he’s very talented at evading responsibility.
It adds up, you just don’t want to see it.

She says it was her for sure, she even got close enough to see that thing in her iris.

Why did she decide to wait three years to report it?

Ah right, I only read it in the paper couple of weeks ago. It came across like she was only coming forward atm but I haven't followed the story.

Would love to see a picture it an interview with that woman, was the girl well dressed, looking happy? does she know the Madeline case herself (As in the girl thought to be Madeline) Would love her to be alive somewhere if she has a normal life but didn’t know who she actually is, stranger things have definitely happened.

Not saying she is lying. She probably believes it is Madeleine. But the chance of it being her are extremely low.

Also how believable is that someone can recognize a 17 year old from a picture of when they are 3, And then claim they are ''sure'' it is them. How could anybody be sure of that. It is the sort of things police have to investigate and know they are wasting their time. How many ''sure'' sightings of Elvis has there been since he died?

Look at how many crimes he got away with without arousing any suspicion until very recently, and yet you find it hard to believe that his accomplice didn’t alert the authorities and tell on him?
He is a dangerous, violent man, we have no idea what kind of arrangement might have been between them.
Maybe they were terrified of being implicated or maybe there was some sort of personal threat was held over the other person so that they kept quiet.

Hopefully as more evidence is released it will become more clear what actually happened. But the fact that his phone pinged off the Ocean Club mast at around the time Madeleine went missing is very very telling.
He got a call from someone who the police believe was involved or implicated in the kidnapping in some way.

Personally I don't believe for a second he got tipped off by someone who worked there ,

The case was to big for him to have accomplish that worked there and not come forward or mention CB to the police or anyone else who would have mentioned him, So many ways you could have got his name to the police without implicating yourself,

Do we know how many people even worked the night shift every night ?
It's not the biggest of places, How many could possible know there nightly routine ?

PS of course I doesn't mean I am right its just my opinion

You’re missing the point, it wouldn’t have to be someone working the nightshift. Reception staff, cleaners, waiters, managers etc all had access to that book.
It was left open in a public space where anyone could see it, and they were the talk of the hotel for leaving the kids alone.
Day staff could have passed on the info very easily.

Why would they come forward if they were under threat from CB? Or if it was possible they could be implicated, for either Madeleines kidnapping or other previous crimes?
It isn’t exactly common for accomplices to serious crimes to fess up at the first opportunity. Thats the whole point of the current appeals, the police are hoping someone will crack and give them what they need to piece it all together.

The fact that he got tip offs for previous rapes, violent attacks and burglaries is extremely pertinent because it’s clear that this is how he operates.
Whether it’s from threatening people, coercion or paying them off, he gets his info from others and uses that to scope out victims.
When you consider both this and the phone call it’s not all that unlikely that this is what happened the night Madeleine disappeared too.

Still think its is to far fetched, there is no evidence at all to suggest a worker was anyway involved ,
