The news has got even better.
First they lose the appeal & now come their huge court costs.
It couldn't have happened to a more deserving couple. Lol (https://www.pensionersforum.co.uk/Smileys/classic/grin.gif)

The Germans seem to have gone very quiet about their suspect of late.
They have. I can take no pleasure in negativity around the Madeleine McCann case. Her siblings will have been, and probably still are affected by her disappearance, as will her grandparents. A huge tragedy for the missing child, who may well be dead, and a mystery that may never be solved.

I couldn't think of a more deserving pair of priggish snobs to be costed. Their lawyers will have told them it's all over unless fresh evidence can be availed, but that would be the end and for them unthinkable. They just won't shut up will they, its not even a
cause celebre anymore - its all just about them and in particular her ego.
Imagine being ill and having to rely upon either of them as your GP :shocked:

Well I take great delight.
This pair have tried to silence anyone who's asked awkward questions, successfully with at least one person, & deliberately refused to answer questions when being questioned by the police.
I hope this case costs them the clothes they stand up in.
I can't even begin to imagine what it's like to lose a child. They will live with the "if only" for the rest of their lives.

He's been ruled by Mark Williams-Thomas who did a very good investigation into all the allegations bandid about by the Kraut police.

I think we both already knew that....

I agree Alex. I don't know the McCanns personally, only what the media has shown. Others may know them well enough to make a judgement on their involvement in their daughter's disappearance, I won't get into that. But as a grandparent, I'd be no less devastated than the parents of my grandchildren if anything happened to one of them.
Frightening.. and it has happened to others. Others that don't seem to have the publicity that the McCanns have amassed over the years..
I doubt that the truth will out.. Only those that are responsible know of it..
Yet, many like to speculate..
It's an old thread but no point in starting a new one as it all links.
It seems the German police know no bounds in their effort to frame their so-called prime suspect.
It's a bit pointless proving that his van has been at a place that he himself says he used to visit.

All I can say is how is this more compelling than the cadaver dogs reactions in the McCann apartment and their rental car?

Well there's a surprise. The search of the reservoir turned up zilch...

'Roadblock' for Madeleine McCann police: Officers are 'disappointed' over items found during search of Portuguese reservoir which 'have not proven to be of any use'
German police investigating Madeleine McCann's disappearance have reportedly hit a 'roadblock' after being left 'disappointed' over the items they found during a search of a Portuguese reservoir.
Last month, investigators searched the remote Barragem do Arade reservoir, which prime suspect Christian Brueckner referred to as a 'little piece of paradise' and is located 30 miles from where Madeleine was taken in 2007.
Detectives cleared a large area of woodland at the reservoir and dug eight deep holes to collect samples of soil, which were sent for forensic and DNA testing in Germany.
German prosecutor Hans Christian Wolters, who is leading the case, confirmed earlier this month that a 'number of items' were seized during the search.
However, sources have now told The Sun that the items retrieved have not helped them in their efforts to solve the 16-year mystery.
Why is this case getting so much attention.......Still? Wee Madeleine is not the only child to have disappeared, you never hear anything about others.
That's another part of the mystery
If, and it's a big if, she was ever found alive would she recognise her family. Would she even want to return to them, she was maybe stolen for a rich childless couple and now only knows them as mum n dad.

I've studied this case in some depth right from the start & I can tell you that it would be a very unwise person who spoke about what they are confident had happened.
Most people only know what the tabloids tell them happened.
One person who spoke out, publicly, against the McCanns was found dead in a hotel room after an overdose.
Suicide was ruled as the cause.
The Portugese detective in charge of the case produced a short account of what he had found after he was forced out his job. The McCanns sued him for libel and initially won but lost on appeal. It isn't a very good read but lays out what the bloke investigating it considered to be the answer.

There is a whole plethora of stuff on the internet that goes into analysis of the few photos and investigations of timelines plus much more. None of it seems to mention a German paedo though. I don't expect them to come up with anything and can't see why they keep looking or why we are still funding a UK operation too even now.

Thanks for the link klondike.
In my opinion the UK police have to keep looking to keep the opinion that she's been abducted & is still alive going.
Colin Sutton, who arrested Bellfield, was asked to take charge of Operation Grange but he refused because he was told he'd have an extremely narrow & controlled remit & only to work on the abduction theory.

British tabloids all seem to have this story.
From The Sun
https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/22860850/key-madeleine-mccann-witness-moment-christian-b-confessed/
A KEY witness in the disappearance of Madeleine McCann has revealed the chilling moment Christian B "confessed" to snatching her.
Former pal-turned-police informer Helge B was the person who identified prime suspect Christian B to cops in connection with Madeleine's disappearance.
It seems (as we assumed) the Germans believe the word of a criminal who is pointing to Brueckner and saying he adducted Madeleine McCann without concrete evidence to back that up. They have been hunting for a couple of years now to find any evidence and have obviously failed.
The German police will have swept a load of the informant's crimes under the carpet & he now has to earn his continued freedom by putting people in the frame, Brueckner being the main one.
I do find it concerning how the police can persist, so vigorously, in trying to frame someone for a crime that doesn't exist.
