After I looked into the case, I am convinced that this guy Bruckner is probably the one who snatched Madeline.

He got a phone call an hour before she disappeared, on the premises of the hotel resort. The next day, he changed the number plate of his car. He raped an American tourist not far away from the hotel where the McCanns stayed, and police have investigated him as a suspect in another case where a little girl disappeared, who looked a bit like Madeline.

He might have been a procurer for elite pedos - who knows.

The reason the police went public now is that he will probably be released from prison this week.

One of the bogus leads designed to prop up the abduction narrative put out by team McCann and their mouthpiece (professional liar and probable intelligence asset Clarence Mitchell, as well as hired con men David Edgar and Arthur Cowley, who fraudulently presented themselves as members of a preexisting private detective agency called Alpha Investigations Group when in reality it was just the two of them working for shifty double glazing magnate Brian Kennedy) was the 2009 story of a British stag reveller in Barcelona who, whilst drinking in a bar in the Barcelona dockside three days after the reported disappearance of Madeleine McCann, said he was approached by, 'an Australian, Posh Spice lookalike' who asked him, "Have you got my new daughter?" The sketch of the lookalike does look somewhat like Maxwell (please see part 4 of Richard Hall's excellent documentary series on the McCann case; the Australian Posh Spice lookalike tale is mentioned at 12:40 approx).

For those who may not know, that efit sketch of Ghislaine Maxwell was compiled from a visiting tourist's (British?) description of an odd encounter with that woman the evening Madeleine disappeared.

Seems he and his friend were at a sidewalk bar table in a town maybe 20 miles away from Praia da Luz when they noticed this woman arrive and start to pace anxiously for several minutes.

After the 2 guys watched her for a bit, the British guy decided to approach her and start some casual flirting.

The woman turned sharply turned his approach and asked very nervously "Did you bring her?"

Taken aback, he expressed ignorance and returned to his table with his friend.

Although these recountings can seem non substantive, the 'intuition' - or whatever one calls it - ought not be discounted and the British guy was very unsettled by the woman's (Maxwell?) behavior.

wow .... some better than average comments in that thread

He should have added "lobbyist" too.
