Officials have now said they are now 100 percent that CB is the man responsible for the MM disappearance. They are not saying why they are 100% convinced. So this is what I think.
In Jan 2021 they did find the camper van that he was living in
In March 2021 a Podcast True Crime and Cocktails aired and the researcher shared: he was living in a camper van in the area she went missing. His cell phone pinged in the area an hour before she went missing. They do have pics of him with children as in porn.
In July 2020 German police searched some land that CB was leasing and didn't find anything. The podcast pointed out that CB had a 2nd allotment of land in Germany that has not been searched per the owner of that land.
in August of this year they finally went and searched the 2nd land allotment and found a dungeon. A literal dungeon.
Now in Oct they are saying they are 100% sure. So I think they found something inconclusive in the dungeon.
CB is in prison now for raping a 72 year old woman so they are not in a hurry.

CB has been on their radar for at least a year or two.
CB made a "confession" to a friend. Cell phone analysis shows he was at the Ocean Club when MM disappeared.
He lived in Praia da Luz from 2002 to 2008 and is being investigated in connection with a rape and indecent assaults that took place there.

I never thought this case would be solved. Hopefully this brings a little bit of peace to her parents. The not knowing had to be excruciating for them.

German prosecutors have claimed to have evidence that MM is dead.
He was convicted in Germany in 1994 of abusing a six-year-old girl in a playground and exposing himself to another child
Then 17-year-old, was handed a two-year juvenile sentence but later moved to Portugal where he set up home in the coastal town of Lago.s and kept his past secret.
Christian B’s lawyer Friedrich Fulscher had said his client “denies any involvement” in the McCann case.

Goodness a dungeon! That is absolutely terrible.
I never thought it would get solved either.

This case scarred so many Portuguese children growing up. Disappearances like hers are extremely uncommon here and those resort hotels have always been considered so safe ( 1 because Portugal is one of the safest countries regarding violent crime and those resorts are usually gated).
I hope her parents get some peace.

I hope her parents get some peace. If this is true, I hope they catch the employee who gave the info about the parents being gone to CB. ETA: he has been identified. It is in the link MB posted above.

Because honestly i remember being a little kid and my family having a big dinner outside and the children just running wild to the playgrounds and pools and my little brother being in a pack and play in the apartment. Like same exact setup except my family had adjoining apartments so they just grilled outside the apartments together. But there were restaurants and it wouldn't be weird for your kids to not be with you.

Omfg. I need to go hug my kid. Seriously. This case has always messed me up. My dd1 is only 3 months older than Maddie. Every time this case gets talked about, I feel massive anxiety and sympathy for the McCanns.

It’s horrifying. Resolutions like this are so sickening because humanity is left with a communal sort of wound, forced to acknowledge how bad of a thing happened to this family and their child by a series of small, relatively random pieces coming together, and at the root of it all are just the choices and actions of a truly horrible stranger. How do people become capable of that? How do we live amongst them? Can there really be people out there willing to aid and enable them? Clearly the answers are yes, we’ve seen the depravity of humans before, but it’s hard all the same to look at the Bogeyman’s face.

I dont think I ever knew that the staff wrote that the children would be alone in the rooms on the dinner reservation they did not A receptionist wrote about the reservation in her book Another guy allegedly told CB that the adults had been meeting in the restaurant nightly and leaving the kids in the rooms. And that they were going again.

Is he also the one they suspect was responsible for the little boy missing on the beach? He ran ahead of his parents around a curve, and when they caught up to where he disappeared a couple of minutes later, all they found were his clothes.
I take my kids to a remote-ish beach all the time and they like to run ahead. Reading that story haunted me for a long time.

Anyone following the Cleo Smith case in Australia? Similarly disturbing disappearance of a child.

MM has been all over my tiktok because there is a Polish woman claiming that she thinks she may be her. Her parents have been shady around some circumstances of her upbringing, there are no pictures of her mom pregnant, she can't remember large chunks of her childhood, the two girls share similar eye markings etc. However, this woman is 2 years older than MM would be now. Here is a link to a Yahoo story about itIt may be crap and this woman trying to get her 15 minutes of fame.

I’ve seen TikToks saying that there are pics of her as a child, her family friends knew her as a kid and her parents are nice normal people. I’m doubtful. It feels very attention-seeking. I understand why the Mccanns agreed to a DNA test. But it feels cruel to get their hopes up.

I work really hard not to make comments about so much of this stuff before easily attainable answers are made, but my gut is a huge fuck you to this person. If I'm wrong, I will feel horrible. But these parents have gone through so much.

The parents of the 21 year old released a statement that is pretty heartbreaking.

This has been all over my tiktok. A couple people have compared images and I'm curious about the results of the DNA test. I *think* I saw something that she has already taken it?

The 21 year old (Julia) posted (then quickly deleted) a photo of her mom and they look so much alike. Someone grabbed a quick screenshot and I saw it on Tik Tok.
