The case of Madeleine McCann

[Steve_uk]

Could Christian Brückner have stumbled upon a dead Maddie whilst burgling the apartment? But why would he have taken the body away? Why were Sean and Amelie left unscathed?

Why would Maddy be dead?

Seems the complex the McCann's stayed at had an outside area for evening drinks.

Might have only been 50 yards from Maddy & they would have done regular checks on her. But that would be enough for Bruckner. An experienced burgler who knew the area. Determined on the night.

The evidence according to Goncalo Amaral is that Maddie banged her head falling off the sofa and died.

We don't really know whether regular checks were made or missed. The Tapas 7 would cover that part up for the McCanns, I'm sure. I doubt they would have covered up a death in the apartment, if that's what in fact occurred.

How would he know. Her body has never been recovered.

Believe Bruckner & his van were staying a few miles from the McCann's. Off the grid.

No chance of being found with her in the following days.

It's the odour emitted from a dead body which the cadaver dogs picked up on.

Did you watch the part where Pat Brown doubts Jane Tanner's story? She also wonders why the McCanns were so dismissive of the Smith sighting.

I think Steve that you are in the fence with this one?

I can't bring myself at this time to say the McCanns were involved. My head says: keep an open mind.

Part Two of Pat Brown. It's a bit waffly at the start and I would start at "Once Upon A Time" nine minutes in: https://youtu.be/ZSgoeRkkbc8

Again I condense a long Pat Brown video into five points:

1) There's no physical evidence of an intruder: no fingerprints, no footprints, no witnesses to a prowler, no obvious sign of entry.

2) Kate and Gerry changed their story. Gerry said he came through the front door with a key. He said everything was locked.  Later on the couple said the windows were open.

3) The cadaver dogs evidence. There was a hit behind the sofa, on Cuddle Cat and on the hire car. Pat suggests the body was moved from an insecure place via the rental car to a more remote location.

4) The behaviour of the McCanns following the event. Non-cooperation with Portuguese police, exercising, Kate able to sleep after five days, visiting the Pope, leaving their two children behind.

5) The McCanns rejection of the Smith sighting. Pat says you would leave no stone unturned to discover what happened to your daughter. She suggests the McCanns went with the Jane Tanner sighting because it gave Gerry an alibi, but the Smith sighting did not. https://youtu.be/PD8OlQqRhT8

Did Madeleine die in the apartment? Are the Tapas 7 complicit in a cover-up? https://youtu.be/Lym4HI-sJjM

Steve I think you want to tell us that this is what you suspect, but you can't quite bring yourself to do it.  Let the weight off your shoulders.
