I'm on HCW's side here. MWT, to be polite, is as fickle and unreliable as an Irish summer. I don't get why HCW gives him time of day?



There isn't any. It all stems from the idea that an abduction took place.

The current suspect, because of his history, is likely driving the current paedophile narrative but that's all it is, a narrative. It's not based on anything of substance that we know of.

I think it goes back further than that. Weren't there efforts at one time to implicate a now dead British paedophile

I appreciate that, what I mean is that paedophelia as a motive has always originated from the idea of an abduction.

It isn't possible to sanitise or condone what CB is. He is a paedophile and paedophiles harm children. He was a resident in Luz at the time of MM's holiday there. If truth is told about his burglary skills, handyman skills and work related to swimming pools his familiarity with the area of the MW Ocean Club must be recognised.
I don't think anyone who could quite easily pass as an employee going about his business would be noticed.

For example the laundryman saw a witness in the stairwell of apartment block 5 on May three, but nobody reported seeing the laundryman or his works van.

P.J. POLICE FILES: MARIO FERNANDO MADEIRA MARREIROS

At the time of the disappearance, Mário was working as a laundry man in Praia da Luz, Lagos, where the McCann couple and their children were on holiday in 2007. On the eve of MM’s disappearance, the Algarvian claims that he saw a strange man wearing dark glasses, hidden in a stair well outside the McCann’s rented apartment.

Mário told “The Mirror” that whilst he was collected linen from the apartments “we almost bumped into each other. He seemed embarrassed and nervous”, the Portuguese man told the newspaper, adding: “I had never seen him before. I know all the people staying at the resort and this was not one of them”.

As regards the actions of the authorities and of the investigators, Mário says that he felt “uncomfortable” with the PJ investigation. In his first statement to the PJ, which was made public, no reference is made to the suspect whom he allegedly spotted and which is described by the British paper. However, a few months later, Mário passed this information to the PJ, having spent “hours with a detective looking at photos and videos”. However, they did not manage to identify anyone.

Thanks. I find it interesting, no actual evidence of abduction, or of paedophilia, yet both somehow seem to have become established facts.

When a child goes missing the very first individuals to be checked out are those with records of offences against children.

This procedure was carried out in Luz.

CB slipped the net and was not investigated.

Later, PJ knocked on his door, he was not there and they went away. It seemed they didn't bother to go back there afterwards or even smell his trace.

Has it ever been stated which door police knocked on?
Would they even have known his current address after leaving prison ?

Which door? So far as we know, he was living in a van.

That's what happens in cases when the investigators are overwhelmed by information flying at them from all directions. "You're two weeks behind on Day 1" is how one detective in a similar case in a different country described it.

"No media" the Portuguese investigators said. And as we know they were ignored.

 

[Davieson]

Police likely wouldn't have known that so would have gone to his last known address.
As there were reputed to be some 300 sex offenders in the area, police must have found themselves pretty stretched at that time.

In one of the letters, alongside admitting he worked as a drug dealer, CB wrote:

"I was never caught by the police because I followed a few key principles.

"Where possible, only driving during the day so that my battered 'hippy bus' didn't attract attention, only driving on the roads I needed to and, most importantly, never provoking the police.

"So that means not committing any crimes, certainly not abducting anyone."

Madeleine McCann suspect releases statement from prison amid intensive investigations | JOE.ie

Christian Brueckner has given an explanation as to why it couldn't have been him who abducted Maddie McCann in 2007.

CB was expert in evading police when on his drug dealing trips. He even bragged about how successful he was at it.

One imagines that exactly the same methods could be used to transport contraband other than drugs.

A petite three year old child would probably take up no more room than a payload of drugs did.

CB did indicate he had the perfect hiding place in one of his vehicles for drugs or children. What kind of man is it who mentions hiding places for drugs and for children in the same breath?

Snip
DF, 67, checked out the VW in 2007 while visiting his daughter Nicole in Portugal.

He previously said CB – the prime suspect of MM’s murder – had said he could hide drugs or ‘even a small child’ in an adapted hiding place.

DF initially brushed off his concerns but is now haunted by the possibility that the British toddler could have been hidden right under his nose.

Vans have doors. Certainly the ones owned by CB did and they also had built in hiding spaces for contraband.

Don't know, not good with names, even worse with initials.

Yes, vans also have doors.
But when they do not even return at the ones of the houses...report issued as no one opened the door and then no one tried to look for CB again.
