Madeleine McCann case to be closed by London police after 11 years
New York Post ^ | March 21, 2022 | Joshua Rhett Miller

Posted on 03/21/2022 9:00:16 AM PDT by nickcarraway

The 11-year investigation into the disappearance of British tot Madeleine McCann is set to end later this year, according to reports.

Operation Grange, the British taxpayer-funded probe launched four years after Madeleine’s 2007 disappearance from her family’s vacation rental in Portugal, will be shut down by London’s Metropolitan Police when funding runs out this fall, the Sun reported Saturday.

“There are currently no plans to take the inquiry further,” a source close to the matter told the outlet. “The end of the road for Operation Grange is now in sight. The team’s work is expected to be completed by autumn.” The decision means there’s insufficient evidence to charge the prime suspect in Madeleine’s disappearance — convicted pedophile and rapist Christian Brueckner.

Cadaver dogs used by the British police were flown to the crime scene. The dogs indicated the parents were involved.

I believe the dogs.

I often wonder about this child and hope that some day she shows up alive.

Just terrible. To never know what happened to your child has to be the very worst.

“convicted pedophile and rapist Christian Brueckner”

I believe this is the German guy who the investigators were sure who abducted her. They just could not prove it.

I too remember reading that the cadaver dogs signaled that they detected the smell of death in the trunk of their car.

It’s time for the parents to move on.

They left a very young child alone in an apartment while they went off drinking. The child could just as easily died in a fire, as to being abducted.

Both parents were well educated and should have known better. They could easily have afforded a sitter if they wanted to.

This is the one where the sketch artist made a drawing of the two suspects and the drawings were dead ringers for the Podesta brothers.

She was probably sacrificed at Epstein island. (Not to be confused with the island Biden bought that is a kayak trip away)

I bet they haven't. Pedos don't squeal on each other.

What good would that do? They wouldn’t be understood in Portugal.

Why did they bark in Spanish if they were in Portugal?
Shouldn't they have barked in Portuguese?

Podestas, confirmed by snopes. And remember, a confirmation by snopes occurs when the say something is false. In this case they said “mostly false”. LOL

They say a Portuguese dog can understand a Spaniard better than a Spanish dog can understand a Portuguese speaker. It’s like Brazil.

Not trying to defend Jim Biden, BUT he bought an undeveloped building lot on Water Island for $150K.
It is a 500 acre island. It is not a private island.
There are lots of houses on the island. Over 50 houses. It is right at the entrance to the main harbor on St Thomas.

Why would the Podestas go all the way to Portugal themselves, if they have a whole pedophile ring going on? Surely there are more potential children in the U.S., where they live? Did they have intel that this particular British couple were going to leave their child unminded, or they were checking every unit?
