Misinformation has been added in recent days to the inconsistencies, lack of transparency, cover-ups and lies that have overshadowed the Madeleine McCann case from the very beginning in May 2007.
The latest search by German and
Portuguese police was called off after three days, apparently because they
found nothing of significance in the scrubland and abandoned buildings over a
wide area on a hill not far from where Maddie went missing.
Journalists covering the search thought it was mainly aimed at linking Maddie’s disappearance with the German paedophile Christian B.
The searchers were indeed hoping to
recover remains of Madeleine’s body, but in fact had evidence that Christian B
was not living in that area in 2007. He had been there in 2006, a year before
the disappearance.
The search focused mainly a mile away from the cottage he rented back then, on the top plateau between the village of Praia da Luz and the neighbouring town of Lagos. This was a hangout area for hippies partying and using drugs back in those days.
The most relevant people to visit the hill area in 2007 and later years were Madeleine’s parents, Kate and Gerry McCann. Jogging up there was mentioned by Kate in her diary and book, and also by Gerry in his blog.
Reliable sources believe that the Portuguese police are convinced Madeleine was not abducted as claimed by the British Metropolitan Police’s Operation Grange unit, as well as supporters of Madeleine’s parents.
It is now clear that Christian B, who is serving a jail sentence in Germany for rape, has been used as a scapegoat in the erroneous claim that Madeleine was abducted. To this day, there is zero evidence that abduction took place. Christian B was still living in the Algarve in 2007, but nowhere near Praia da Luz or Lagos.
Bernt Stellander, a foreign detective
living in the Algarve since 2016, spent seven years privately investigating the
case before writing his book The Sudden Impulse. After eight months of
investigation, Stellander was able to show Portuguese police results of his
efforts, including the trail of camcorders he had set up to observe visitors to
the place he had discovered what he called “subtle symbols” on the hill east of
Praia da Luz where Madeleine may have been buried.
This, as well as profiling the parents, led him to look for a grave, based on what is called Kate's "turning point dream", that Maddie was hidden on a hillside overlooking a beach in Praia da Luz. But the analysis of the timeline became his main focus. He claims to have made a very good argument in his book that Madeleine's tragic and accidental death occurred in the apartment the night before her alleged abduction.
Stellander's has been in contact with
both the German prosecutor in the case and Christian B's lawyer
After.Stellander's first appearance on a James English podcast, another
investigator, who had interviewed Ocean Club workers on May 25th 2007,
contacted him to say that Gerry had been seen carrying a very heavy back sack
from the McCann’s holiday apartment at 2 00 am the night before. This coincided
perfectly with Stellander's theory about the real timeline. This information -
not merely local gossip - has been officially delivered to the Portuguese
Policia Judiciaria.
