Madeleine McCann

[caz]

Hi All,

While I really hope something will come of this new lead, there will have to be some really solid evidence to link the suspect with the victim [cctv or DNA] and/or a confession, or it could all end up being a circumstantial case that can't even get to court. There has been talk over the years about the resort attracting child abusers by its very nature, in which case the suspect may have been one of several in the general vicinity while the McCanns were there on holiday with their three very young children. The fact that he was on his phone to someone on the evening that Maddie was reported missing is not in itself particularly useful information, unless it can be ascertained who was on the other end and whether the reason for the call was suspicious or sinister. And once the news broke that a young girl had gone missing, anyone who thought they might become a suspect, and would then be questioned about other offences they may have committed, would probably have taken steps like this one did when he re registered his vehicle.

Whatever we as individuals think of the McCanns, for leaving all three of their children vulnerable, I'm sure they only want the right person or persons found and brought to justice for whatever happened to Maddie while they were dining with their friends.

Love,

Caz

yup i have no empathy for the mcaans, i care about the little girl whom if they didnt kill her are directly responsible for her abduction.leaving their babies alone night after night so they can go get sauced with there equally idiotic friends. even after Madeleine that very morning cried to her mommy--why didnt you come last night when we cried? instead they dosed them up with sleeping pills left them alone again in a foreign town with the doors unlocked.

and the second theres a possible suspect, you use that opportunity to come back on here to attack one of my old posts and yet again defend the mccanns. no empathy or even words about Madeleine.

That says it all.

like another poster said.. you are a groveling apologist for the mcanns so you go on ignore. good riddance.

I invite you to check my comment history to see if I have ever defended any of the so called Tapas 7 for leaving their children alone in an apartment in a foreign country. Ever.

I responded to your post because it made outlandish claims of child abuse with zero to back it up and in fact I am assuming you are from the USA because in the United Kingdom we have a system whereby until a child is 3(it was 4 before the recession in 2008) there are yearly check ups with a Doctor in order to check that everything is ok and there are no signs of abuse or neglect. If there are this would be reported to either the Police or Social Services or both. Nothing was ever raised about Madeleine McCann. Not only that but she was in a creche and they found no signs of abuse either. So goodbye and onto ignore I go.

Yeah I am trying to steer clear of the British tabloids at the moment, far too much hearsay and sensationalism. Linking him to other crimes is of course what any good Police force would do. What does seem striking is that those who are investigating him think he was in or close to the areas where these children went missing. Of course I stress that does not mean he is guilty but rather he should be pursued as a suitable lead. As for the Madeleine McCann case there is a lot we don't know in regards Police information. The re-registering of his van the day after the disappearance seems to be key. German Police have confirmed they are working on trying to track down the owner of the phone number who rang him on the night. Some German papers are reporting the German Police believe this may have been a call from someone working with him. Whether that is true or not we don't know.

I think the one thing that has come out of the whole case is just how badly the Policia Judiciara got it. The investigation was a complete disaster. If this guy did slip through the net as it were then it would be a travesty. We will have to see if anymore comes of it though in regards this suspect. I hope the McCanns can some semblence of truth and maybe even retrieve a body.

Yah, I agree. He's a good lead, and like many good leads it will either lead to a solution, or it will fizzle out and he'll be shown to be not involved. Until the work is done, though, we won't know. The press finds it a good story to present him as if he's already guilty, though they are often careful to point out the evidence is not conclusive, etc. It will take months, I suspect, before any real update to this occurs. But for everybody's sake, particularly Maddie and her parents, a solution would be the best outcome.

So you tell us what you would NEVER do whilst in a state of shock. Well there we are throw away the key. Kate McCann did different. Damning evidence right there. And can you explain how Gerry(not Jerry) managed to get so far out at the ocean that his daughter would not be washed up on shore elsewhere due to the tide. As for the rest of it- unsubstantiated nonsense with nothing to back it up except extracts from a mentally disturbed Mother who is having the worst thoughts imaginable about her missing, presumed abducted daughter. Instead of empathy you condemn. That says it all.

Hi Sunny Delight,

Yes, there's been a fair few number of articles about this suspect now, some indicating he's being considered linked, or of interest, in some other missing children cases. However, as history has shown, often any new suspect starts getting considered for other unsolved cases that have gone cold. So far, from what I can tell, there's nothing yet found that rules him out, and some information that does indicate he's a suitable lead (as you mention, he was in the area at the time, has a criminal history involving sex offenses against minors, etc). However, as of yet, there does not appear to be anything yet that solidly ties him to the case. He's apparently made some suspicious comments in the past, that sort of sound like he knows something, etc, but that happens quite a bit even when someone turns out to be uninvolved (how those comments are interpreted, and even remembered, can be coloured by the fact he's currently being looked at). If he's involved, hopefully something will be found to bring a resolution. If he's not, despite him being despicable, no justice is achieved if he's not cleared of this particular offense.
