Thread is open again.

Very major cleanup was required. Posts have been removed, but too many to provide individual explanation (
victim/parent bashing, general off topic, images with no link, irreparable broken quotes or quoted post was removed, etc).

Please do not bring up all the old discussions unless you can state how you think it relates to this current discussion of CB as suspect #2.

Thank you.
 
ADMIN NOTE:

Do NOT name innocent people (individuals who have not been named by LE as either POI or suspect). If you have to discuss someone other than a victim or a POI/suspect, use initials.

Also stop posting images of random people or children. It is a terrible violation of privacy for people to have their pictures splashed over the internet on a crime sleuthing site.

Sleuth all you want behind the scenes or in private conversations (where you can invite up to 20 members to the convo), but if it's not in MSM, don't bring it to the thread.

I used to get this kind of banding when printing colour photos on my very sh***y Epson printer. Going back to the early 00’s with that, though.

There does seem to be some kind of “whiteness” or blurriness on the photo, highlighted by the red circles. Maybe the photos were taken from a screen, thus accounting for the banding, and the blurriness is thumb prints on said screen? I can see a lot of lines through the blurriness around the mat, as if someone ran a pen nib over the screen through a finger print?

Highlighted the thing in the blue circle because what is it?:confused:

I wonder how much time there was between both photos having been taken? The furniture surrounding the fireplace/the knickknacks on the mantle are very different in both photos which makes me think they’re from two different tenants. One from a photo/still from a video CB had on a storage device, and a more recent photo from LE carrying out searches of his old abodes for comparison?

In one photo, the mantle is painted blue, in the other, it is all white.
 
About him knowing information that only a suspect would know, could it be that he has told his bar friend details that weren't released to the public or even boasted about it on the dark web? Awful thing to say for me, but could even relate to the pattern, picture or colour of the underwear MM was wearing when she went missing.

I alao have a theory to drop in here about where he might have taken her, going by my own experience of living in a holiday resort where some properties dont get used for years. I personally wouldnt rule out that he had already set up a vacant holiday home in preparation for the abduction, this could have even been very close to the ocean club and therefore walking distance. A break in at the property may not have been reported or discovered for weeks, months or even years after, if nothing was found to be missing it may not have even been reported at all.
 
An excellent question photographer4. Why tourists? And why specifically British tourists? Why not Irish, German, or Dutch? I would expect the appeal for info to be addressed to PdL area residents (native and expat).

I’m of the the opinion that German LE have worked out that the reason this case has never been solved it due to numerous false leads/statements from Natives & Expats.

I think that would definitely be a detail known by parents, LE and the person who took MM. And if they could confirm that garment was seen in a picture or video that they have found, well that would indicate that it was likely MM in that video / picture (if they have that / have seen such). I think its possible he took her to a holiday home as well. I asked earlier where he'd go that was quiet and he wouldn't have to worry about if the kid woke up and began screaming, and somewhere there would be no one to help should she wiggle free and escape him.

Never gonna sleep tonight now. Thanks folks! :(

Yes if a burglar enters a holiday apartment which is long-term unoccupied he could even use it to sleep in, with a lot of care to not be noticed by neighbours.

Sorry, me either. It actually turns my stomach thinking about it

I really feel these photos have edited by LE before distribution to the media. It looks like a large brown dog lying on the sofa, did we hear of CB having a pitbull or bulldog? In the top right corner is that an excercise ball with some weird looking toy doll on top?

:( so sorry. I seldom sleep either after reading about or considering cases such as this.

It’s neither of your faults that unfortunately this just makes sense :( Of course LE would have asked her parents about her underwear... Of course that would never be released to the public so would be something only the perp would know, besides whoever dressed her for bed... Of course that’s something someone would mention to make themselves sound legit when bragging about snatching her...
me, it’s just so harrowing :(

Also, I don’t know if it needs pointed out or not, but what I referred to earlier as a “mat” definitely looks more like a blanket folded into quarters. In front of a fireplace.

Definitely looks like a dog on the sofa to me. And a usually anxious one perhaps? The blinds look like a dog could have broken them when trying to see out the window when hearing a car pull up? Very relaxed in this scene though, making me think it’s owner was nearby.

The silver tube on the mantelpiece - a pipe? The side of a photo frame? The side of a mirror?
 
I'm not aware assumption of death was made in 2007. What known evidence was there back then to lead to that conclusion?

I would be surprised if the professionals involved didn't think it however in what appeared to be an absence of any concrete evidence of that British LE at least seemed to still treating it as a missing persons enquiry.

RSBM

There have been different law enforcement entities involved down the years.

Mark Harrison was an English specialist who developed a theory of the case that the child had been murdered and dumped somewhere close by all the way back in 2007.

We don't know what the German's may have, but the idea they are saying anything particular new in terms of their theory of the case is far fetched. They simply have a different suspect.
Yes if a burglar enters a holiday apartment which is long-term unoccupied he could even use it to sleep in, with a lot of care to not be noticed by neighbours.

This is also my favoured theory of how the body was concealed from the initial search
 
If open window isn't a red herring, then it strongly points to several people. Personally, I also think this was too well-planned to have been done by CB alone (perhaps just the easiest guy to catch).
Didn't German LE say they had reason to believe that other person's may have knowledge of happened that night and may know what happened to the body?

That sounds like more than just someone advising where best to steal stuff, maybe providing keys because they just saw CB as a petty thief.
