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.

And leaving children alone was not "normal" in 2007. Maybe in 1967. Or 77. Or even 87. And even then it would have been frowned upon to leave children that young, and by the 90s most parents had become fully aware of potential dangers of doing so. Even without stranger abductions, which are pretty rare, the likelihood of an unsupervised child injuring themselves in the home is far greater. Most accidents do happen in the home after all.

You want me to spout theories which all of us have heard a million times? Like I said, we don't know what actually happened. And we may never know for certain. But we can be certain of the fact that their behaviour is odd.

You will become familiar with it in time.

Well let's hope not. I've managed 17 years on here without ever hearing it until this thread.

@Serrina their behaviour isn't odd. It's just different from your imagined response. It's not a 'fact' it's your perception, and that of weird 'experts' with you tube channels and no link to the case.

Maybe you need to get out more.

Anyway now the thread is an echo chamber of people who think it's essential they drown out any new conversation with their own superiority, I shall hide it and bow out. Hopefully any updates will have a new thread.

Maybe you need to get out more

Why? I'm quite happy chatting shit on here with people in between 'real life' and I would miss you trying to make 'ego kibbles' happen.

And yet here you are rehashing the same tired arguments that nobody should be rehashing the point that the parents were negligent after 17 years 🤷‍♀️

And yet here you are, not seeing that other posters think different points are important, and flogging away at the other dead horse

As people have said 'it wasn't common 'in my circles' - I'm afraid in my circle which wasn't vastly different to the McCanns - it was actually very common- in hindsight it seems bonkers- at the time it seemed to be what many did- as others have said on here- do I think they were wrong with kids that young ?- yes, but I still have huge empathy ---- do I think they did it - no. as 2 doctors even if there had been an accident the instinct surely would have been to call for further help - and if it wasn't an accident I personally can't remotely think of a motive- with regards to Kate running and Jerry playing tennis- have some mumsnetters met highly intelligent but slightly odd people in their life? Sometimes their behaviour is totally unfathomable- when I did a spell as a student nurse many many moons ago- one of my placements was on the psychiatric ward- I genuinely thought the psychologist on duty was a patient till another MH nurse put me right!! The guy on trial at the moment also hugely fits the photofit of witnesses seeing a guy carrying a young child I'm sad to say-.i think he targeted them and watched them. I guess they left the apartment unlocked so others could pop and check - in hindsight it seems incredibly foolish- but hindsight is an amazing thing .

First time I've seen or heard it anywhere is this thread, tonight

This thread is a waste of time now. It has all been said and still people are arguing because they feel they must have their [pointless] say.

It would be good to finally wrap up this case. Seen many false dawn's on it though so who knows.

What annoys me is how many parents were scared silly by the case then and for years afterwards, on not entirely accurate grounds.

Our local cinema had a Find Maddie ad In the trailers that they had to pull because family cinema goers sobbed and panicked. Alarmist.

People didn’t know that the McC DC had been left alone most evenings for a week - it was widely believed MM was snatched practically from under her parents’ noses after they popped out once.

Not hard to understand why the McC underplayed their dinner timetable. (Whatever they did, it shouldn’t make a difference to the main aspects of the case, but you try telling SM). But the truth wouldn’t have terrified so many parents.

The ‘left alone’ should have been better reported, tactfully, as repeated lack of supervision, and not a one-off. That would have reduced the horrible scaremongering and given families know how on children’s holiday safety.

I just hope for the parents sake and the twins who have had to live through all of this that there can be some form of closure.

I cannot imagine the pain and torment that Kate and Gerry carry with themselves knowing that ultimately their actions led to the disappearance of their daughter. That’s a life sentence in itself.

They have two other children who will have incurred incredible scrutiny, gossip and malicious comments whilst growing up. They too are innocent bystanders in all of this.

Nobody, but nobody should have to suffer in the way this family has. Madeleine was hugely let down by everyone. She paid a terrible price.

But just like every single parent who has suffered unimaginable grief with a missing child I hope that they are given some answers ultimately.

Again there is not a single shred of evidence she was abducted. Not one. Can a single person on here correct me on this?

How do you accidentally drug someone?

just to add, alone in an unlocked apartment with 7 adults in a party who could have taken turns babysitting. If this is what indeed happened.

Well, yes. The fact that she disappeared is evidence of abduction.

You know what is really weird about this case and this forum, nobody in 17 years or 2520000 threads and not even on this 24 page thread has ever wondered if the McCanns were negligent. So so strange.

However...

Speaking of negligence I was thinking does anyone else agree the Portugese police may have been a tad negligent? There were a spate of rapes and child sexual assaults and all sorts around the time this poor German lad who is being framed was living and the rapes, especially of one woman who was totally dismissed as being a fantasist and a drunk and a slut according to plain clothes Portugese police and they did not even investigate them. I mean the poor poor man may be being accused in the wrong even if he did happen by the appartment cos sure look, if you found a pound on the ground you would pick it up yourself right? I mean it is the 'owners fault' for dropping it and not holding onto it tightly after all.

This thread is a disgrace it really is. How people care more about what people did 17 years ago and are going to lengths to show how they would NEVER have done it themselves instead of seeing the bigger picture where there are women and children who are actual victims of this bastard out there trying to keep him behind bars not only for their closure but to also help in any other cases out there including the Madeline one. The focus is on the wrong people. The wrong criminal/s. I cannot get my head around it at all.

psychotic. I do agree

Conflicting evidence, false leads, false sightings. Women turning up,claiming to be Madeleine. I don't think we wiill ever know the truth.

Who wouldn’t look haunted after their toddler went missing? Can you imagine the stress and despair and what this would do to anyone? And because she didn’t say something in an interview, which has been said at some point, she “knows”. It’s this kind of reasoning that makes me hope I never have to rely on a jury to decide my fate.

Yes I think the Portuguese police were negligent. They pursued a narrative which suited Amaral, who knew full well some dodgy fucker was lurking and did nothing about it.

No tourist resort or hotel wants it known that families are in danger, puts people off booking and at risk of losing contracts with tour operators. It happens all over the world in places that rely on visitors.
