I read that article as well when it states,
The article doesn't appear to say the British woman in question was Carole Tranmer.
CB's most distinguished feature is his pockmarked face.

Did Tasmin describe the man as having a pockmarked face before or after CB's photo was circulated?

Isn't it more likely CAT simply made up some fictitious person to interject herself, and by definition her husband, as witnesses before investigators sought them out as potential witnesses and suspects being as they were in such close proximity? 

And/or another more likely scenario is the person she saw exiting 5B was Matthew Oldfied who according to all accounts was leaving his apartment around the time CAT claims she saw a suspicious man?  MO's young daughter was having an afternoon nap so this would explain why the 'suspicious man' closed the gate gently so as not to wake her?

CAT claimed she saw the 'suspicious man' after she returned from the restaurant in Luz and was sat on PF's balcony.  This was between approx 3.30pm - 6.30pm.  The 'suspicious man' left 5B but according to the Oldfields either one of them was in the apartment at this time and MO left for a sailing lesson. 

I think its utterly ludicrious to suggest would be child abductors and/or burglars carry out obvious recces during the middle of the day.

Regardless, its just a small string in a fairly large circumstancial rope.

NGB do you recon the evidence against Bruckner is enough for the CPS to put him on trial (hypothetically if he was on UK soil)

Its probably a coincidence but I noticed she regularly contributed to Algarve Photography by way of competitions and exhibitions until 2020 then it appears her contribution stopped!?
Ah! So you think someone read you're theory on Red and told the Tranmers who have kept a low profile ever since? They wont be happy that you've brought it up again here then, Cutie!

I doubt it.  She might even still be contributing to Algarve photography I only had a quick look but from the quick look it appeared she stopped contributing around 2020.  If its correct could be loads of reasons why.  I very much doubt she is aware of the Red forum or this forum

Quantity over quality  ;)

Many of those who have testified against CB, officially and/or unofficially, were CB's associates with his criminal wrongdoing so hardly reliable. 

I will always maintain MM was abducted by person(s) who knew she was unsupervised in the unlocked apartment and this narrows it down to a very narrow pool.  When you then consider CAT's contradictory police interview it is a slam dank for me.

You misspelt circumstantial.  Just sayin like  :P

NGB has posted previously that when he was practising his work was mainly defence.  Therefore I would imagine he sees the case against CB as something of a witch hunt akin to how CB's lawyer sees it:

Imo you have a very strange habit of seeing tenuous links all over the place whether it be visual, with your so-called forensic evidence breakthrough, or textual with all the stuff you've recently posted on this thread.

Well as I keep saying, I am on the fence at the moment as there doesn't seem to be any real concrete evidence against anyone at the moment, I dont really have a prime suspect nor any kind of scenario.
When did you say the Tranmers returned home to England, Cutie? Was it a day or too after Maddie went missing? If so, what did they do with Maddie?

I thought I explained this previously?  You really need to read her WS carefully and think about it and draw your own conclusions.

As I have said previously I have no idea of the motive.  If it was sadistic/sexual then the body might have been disposed of quickly.  If it was to raise as own then we know for sure CAT returned to the UK on or before 8th May as she was interviewed by Reading police then in conjuction with her 'suspicious man'.  But there's no evidence CT returned.  According to CAT's WS he worked for the EU so he may have remained in Portugal or some other place in the EU with MM potentially. 

Obviously what should have happened at the time is that they were treated as suspects and witnesses being in such close proximity to MM very shortly before she disappeared.  Flight records could be checked along with their phones and bank accounts and a forensic examination of the hire car.  All of this more than likely would have exonerated or implicated them.  Instead CAT interjected herself as a wtness and was treated as such no questions asked.  Afaik CT has never been seen by any investigator.  PF was not interviewed until 20th Aug 2007.

What do you think of the contradictory statement /police interview?

She may have been embellishing as to the apartment's view. I can't see anything serious enough to warrant her being a suspect in Madeleine's disappearance.

Helge Busching is a significant witness because he initially contacted Scotland Yard in 2008 and then the German police in 2017 about what Bruckner said to him. This was long before the German authorities revealed Bruckener as a suspect. So you cannot accuse him of making things up after the fact.
