Madeleine McCann new evidence - BREAKING NEWS

[PrettyFlyforaMaiTai]

A Senior German detective has told a court that investigators had found emails on a Hotmail account used by Christian Brueckner that linked him directly to the Madeleine McCann case.

However, the detective was unable to share details of the evidence as it was 'related to the killing' of Madeleine. Brueckner, the prime suspect, is currently on trial in Germany for unrelated sex crimes.

Not leaving them on their own. That was never okay. The hotel offered a different service.

Not leaving 3 young children alone in a dark apartment with the door open

I agree. I think it reflects terribly on anyone to have little sympathy for the parents.

People have been having this pointless discussion since the day it happened, if it was ever going to end it would have done so by now

Can you explain why it matters whether it was normal or not?

I agree, even if someone dosent steal your child there are other things to think off.

There may be a fire, there maybe unwell, they may have an accident.
You don't leave three young children alone it was neglectful.

Alot can happen in 15 or 20 mins.
Go on holiday with your children, take them with you.

Nobody is ‘focusing’ on it. But it is a fact that had she not been left on her own, she would still be here. Of course everyone would like to see the abductor caught.

You had a baby monitor and so coud hear anything going on in the room. Did you leave the room unlocked next to a road ad a pool?

It’s not actually a fact at all, if you look a child abductions, James Bulger was with his mother; there were other children in Portugal snatched from the beach.

And, anyway, so what? She was, now she’s dead, the thread is about the culprit, why are you trying to make ego kibbles out of a particularly gruesome murder?

We don’t know that she has been murdered and of course there is still always hope.

Sorry, can someone explain why this is breaking news? Is there confirmation of anything? Also am I right in thinking he’s not necessarily facing charges for Madeline but other crimes at the moment?

That is people's choice though. If they are in a secure resort and are happy to have someone look in on the kids and then come to find them at one of the restaurants if there's an issue, that's their business.

There is something really creepy about the people that act as if they have the case solved and know the truth when in reality they spend their lives down sordid and sad rabbit holes.

I wonder if anyone remembers Caroline Hogg. Just a year older than Madeleine McCann. Did her mother receive similar vitriol. Same with Ben Needham's grandmother. Should she have been arrested for neglect

The poor family and that poor child.

My experience is that it was a thing back in the 90s amongst British parents to leave children alone in hotel rooms with a working baby monitor, while they dined on site but a short distance away. I remember English friends (very conscientious parents otherwise) telling me they chose they holiday hotels on friends’ recommendations that their U.K. baby monitor worked well there.

But it is immaterial; the only person to be blamed is the perpetrator of the crime and who abducted MM. No doubt the parents have endlessly blamed themselves since and there’s no need for us to do it.

This is such bollocks. Things were not different 20 years ago. My children are 22, 20, 15 and 4 and when my oldest children were little and we were on holiday in a similar place to the McCanns, it would have been considered madness in my circles to leave children of any age in an apartment.

Where are the people who are acting as though they have the case solved, can you point us to them? Or are you talking about a phenomenon outside of this thread?

Ok then: why are you making ego kibbles out of a particularly gruesome child abduction?

That Richard guy does come out with a lot of crazy stuff, I'll agree with you there. But the same can't be said about statement analyst Peter Hyatt. He's worked with law enforcement and government agencies in the USA so I'd say he's pretty credible.

I can't imagine that anyone here is going to engage with a term as imbecilic as 'ego kibbles'.

Really? You might want to look up the meaning of the word “imbecile”.

Ego kibbles is a well-used MN phrase. Even better it doesn’t insult people with learning difficulties.

🤔

It's because of cases like that that we now know there are evil bastards out there who target children. I grew up in the 80s. Perverts were rife, and molestation was common, but no one talked about it. No one talked about paedophiles.

You can't say that was still the case in 2007. The sex offenders register was introduced in 1997. CRB checks started in 2002. We stopped being careless and carefree with our children's safety a long, long time ago.

We don't know for certain what happened. We may never know what happened.

But one thing we do know, is that the McCanns behave very, very oddly. And before* *anyone jumps on me saying "nobody knows how they'd behave in their shoes, there's no right or wrong way to be" etc etc, yes, I know that. But they don't behave like any other parents of missing or deceased children I've ever seen. Something just seems rather... strange. I'm just going to leave it at that.

I don’t think leaving a child alone in the 90/00s was a sign of those times at all. I think it depends on the family.

DH and I both born 1970. MIL obviously used to leave DH and his sibling all the time. My mum wouldn’t have dreamt if it.

When Madeline went missing my MIL said “Well who hasn’t left their children asleep and gone to a neighbours for a glass of wine?”

My mum said definitely not her, ever! It’s too dangerous.

I had kids in 2000s. DSis had kids in 1990s. Neither of us EVER left our kids alone in the house day or night but I’m sure plenty of people did.

It really isn't

I'm just going to leave it at that.

God that phrase and 'I won't say anything else' etc etc just spit it out or can you not own your own theory about how they accidentally drugged her/sold her/kept her in a fridge da da da
