Maddie McCann suspect’s cellmate shares shocking confession

The prime suspect in the disappearance of Madeleine McCann allegedly confessed to a former cellmate that he once took a child from an apartment in Portugal. Christian Brueckner, a convicted German paedophile, has never formally been charged with the abduction of McCann but has long been the main suspect in the case. Brueckner, who was in and around the Praia da Luz resort area on the Algarve coast at the time McCann disappeared on May 3rd 2007, has denied any involvement with her disappearance. The 47-year-old is currently serving a seven-year sentence for a rape he committed in Portugal in 2005, while also being on trial for several unrelated sexual offences he is alleged to have committed between 2000 and 2017. In court on Wednesday, Brueckner's former cellmate Laurentiu Codin claimed he opened up about his past while they were confiding in each other at Braunschweig Prison. “He told me that in Portugal, he had stolen there,” Codin told Braunschweig Regional Court, <a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/30657247/madeleine-mccann-brueckner-admitted-snatched-girl/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-link-type="article-inline">The Sun</a> reported. “He was in an area of hotels where rich people live ... and when he went to the hotel area, there was an open window somewhere, he told me. And he would have entered this window for money and gold." “However, he did not find any money, but came across a child and took it with him.” He claimed Bruckner said he “left the area” and “took the child with him ... and drove away, while the place was full of police and dogs”. “He drove off in the car and he was gone. He asked me if the DNA from a child could be taken from bones under the ground.” After the witness said Brueckner was clever, the defendant’s lawyer asked whether he thought it was clever to tell someone in prison about such crimes, to which Codin said: “Perhaps ... he misjudged me.” McCann disappeared from her bedroom on May 3, 2007, during a family holiday while her parents were dining with friends nearby in the resort of Praia da Luz. German police said in June 2020 that McCann was presumed dead and that Brueckner was likely responsible for it, however, he has not been charged with any crime related to her disappearance.

Teenager charged with murdering school girls at dance class identified

A court in the UK has identified the 17-year-old boy accused of going on a stabbing rampage at a <a href="https://www.oversixty.co.nz/health/caring/taylor-swift-in-shock-after-three-young-girls-killed-at-dance-class" target="_blank" rel="noopener">dance class </a>and killing three young girls. The court released the information on Axel Muganwa Rudakubana, a 17-year-old born in Cardiff, in order to stem the flow of misinformation about the suspect that ignited riots around the UK. The court said that while Rudakubana would not normally have been publicly named due to the fact that he is still a minor, they made an exception to quash the riots, while also taking into account that he is just days away from his 18th birthday. Unrest has been seen outside mosques as protesters target Muslims in the wake of the tragedy, causing police to again confirm that the teen was born in the UK. Police said his family are of Rwandan descent where 92 per cent of people identify as Christian, while only 2 per cent of Rwandans are Muslim. The horror began at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class on Monday in Southport, just north of Liverpool in England’s north west, when Rudakubana targeted the young girls and their families. Bebe King, six, Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven, and nine-year-old Alice Dasilva Aguiar died after the knife rampage, while eight other children suffered stab wounds and five were in fighting for their life, alongside two adults who were critically injured. Following the tragedy, large crowds fought with police in the town close to where the tragedy had happened including outside a mosque after false reports emerged that the attacker was Muslim. Rudakubana, who was born in Cardiff in Wales but lived in the town of Banks in Lancashire, close to Southport, has been charged with 10 counts of attempted murder and a knife possession charged.

New link to Madeleine McCann suspect revealed for the first time

Detectives have uncovered an email account belonging to convicted paedophile Christian Brueckner that ties him to the disappearance of Madeleine McCann, a court has heard. Detective Titus Stampa told a court that the German FBI had identified two email accounts linked to the man, but was unable to discuss one of them because it was “related to the killing” of the child. The second email account was used for trading child pornography images with people online. However, the account had all of the messages deleted from the first half of 2007: the time Maddie vanished. Detective Stampa refused to confirm if the “murder” account contained any “photos”, but he said investigators were also in possession of a hard drive related to the “murder” which he was not allowed to discuss. The detective told the court, “An external hard drive is also belonging to the killing case – and I am not allowed to talk about it.” Asked about the account used for swapping child sex abuse images, Detective Stampa said, “I can remember that things were ‘massively’ deleted in the inbox. “There was nothing in there from January 2007.” The revelation offered the first glimpse into the physical proof that has led German investigators to believe Brueckner kidnapped and killed Maddie. Brueckner has long been the main suspect in the case of Maddie’s disappearance, after a key witness came forward in 2017 to report the man, who claimed that while discussing the McCann case, Brueckner said, “She didn’t scream.” Madeleine was last seen when she was just three years old in 2007 in Praia da Luz on Portugal’s Algarve coast, when she was on holiday with her family.

The secret witness who could be the key to the Madeleine McCann case

A secret witness to a disturbing comment made by the main suspect in the Madeleine McCann case could be the key to seeing him charged. Madeleine McCann was three years old when she went missing on a family trip to Portugal in 2007, and has not been seen since. Christian Brueckner, a convicted rapist and paedophile, has long been named the prime suspect in Maddie's abduction, and is set to stand trial on Friday for a series of charges, none of while relate to the McCann case. Now, almost seventeen years since her disappearance, a secret witness has come forward about a disturbing comment Brueckner a year after Maddie's abduction. Helge Busching, a former friend of Brueckner, has revealed a chilling conversation he had with his former friend after they ran into each other at a music festival. Busching, who is currently in police protection, claims Brueckner told him Madeleine was taken without anyone noticing because she didn't make a sound. "He said she didn't scream. 'She didn't scream', that is what Brueckner said and then I looked at Mr Brueckner and thought 'what are you telling me now?'" said Busching on <a href="https://9now.nine.com.au/60-minutes/the-secret-witness-who-could-break-open-the-madeleine-mccann-case/3a383ca7-758a-4b46-a288-8f911ee942e5" target="_blank" rel="noopener">60 Minutes</a>. <blockquote class="instagram-media" style="background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/reel/C3NDFgEPudr/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading" data-instgrm-version="14"> <div style="padding: 16px;"> <div style="display: flex; flex-direction: row; align-items: center;"> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 40px; margin-right: 14px; width: 40px;"> </div> <div style="display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center;"> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 100px;"> </div> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 60px;"> </div> </div> </div> <div style="padding: 19% 0;"> </div> <div style="display: block; height: 50px; margin: 0 auto 12px; width: 50px;"> </div> <div style="padding-top: 8px;"> <div style="color: #3897f0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 550; line-height: 18px;">View this post on Instagram</div> </div> <div style="padding: 12.5% 0;"> </div> <div style="display: flex; flex-direction: row; margin-bottom: 14px; align-items: center;"> <div> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(0px) translateY(7px);"> </div> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; height: 12.5px; transform: rotate(-45deg) translateX(3px) translateY(1px); width: 12.5px; flex-grow: 0; margin-right: 14px; margin-left: 2px;"> </div> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(9px) translateY(-18px);"> </div> </div> <div style="margin-left: 8px;"> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 20px; width: 20px;"> </div> <div style="width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 2px solid transparent; border-left: 6px solid #f4f4f4; border-bottom: 2px solid transparent; transform: translateX(16px) translateY(-4px) rotate(30deg);"> </div> </div> <div style="margin-left: auto;"> <div style="width: 0px; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-right: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(16px);"> </div> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; flex-grow: 0; height: 12px; width: 16px; transform: translateY(-4px);"> </div> <div style="width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-left: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(-4px) translateX(8px);"> </div> </div> </div> <div style="display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center; margin-bottom: 24px;"> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 224px;"> </div> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 144px;"> </div> </div> <p style="color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;"><a style="color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none;" href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/C3NDFgEPudr/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A post shared by 60 Minutes Australia (@60minutes9)</a> </div> </blockquote> In the wake of Busching's comments, the police prosecutor in Brueckner's case remains adamant he is behind the high-profile disappearance of Maddie. "We have evidence and we come to the conclusion that Madeleine McCann is dead and Christian B murdered her," says Hans Christian Wolters. With the 46-year-old currently in jail and facing convictions for several counts of rape and sexual assault, Wolters has the luxury of time to pursue all leads, no matter how small, to build a watertight case against the suspect. He said, "We have only one chance and we want to go to court with the best result we could get. So we decided to investigate as much as we can and if it takes much more time than normal investigations, it's the price for the best result." Image credits: Getty Images / 60 Minutes

More than a third of people with dementia don’t know they have it – what to do if you suspect your partner has the condition

<a href="https://theconversation.com/profiles/kate-irving-1493654">Kate Irving</a>, <a href="https://theconversation.com/institutions/dublin-city-university-1528">Dublin City University</a> Around <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-67613465">36% of people</a> in England with dementia are unaware they have the condition, according to a new report from the Dementia Commission. <a href="https://chamberuk.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/231127-Dementia-Commission-Report-Embargoed.pdf">The report</a> suggests things health and care professionals can do to improve spotting early signs of dementia. But what can you do if you think your partner has the condition? And how can you broach the topic with them? If you are worried about your partner having dementia, here are some useful things to know. Dementia is a term for a range of diseases (for example, Alzheimer’s) which develop over time (months and years) and cause problems with memory and reasoning, communication, changes in personality and a reduction in a person’s ability to carry out daily activities, such as shopping, washing, paying bills or cooking. Dementia can present very differently in each person, so it’s about knowing what’s normal for your loved one. A person who has always been conscientious and organised starting to unravel is very different from a scatterbrained person just being slightly more scatterbrained. Grief and stress can affect memory yet not be the start of dementia. But they can also mask the start of dementia: we call this “diagnostic over-shadowing”. There are also age-related changes to cognition. For example, we take longer to learn when we get older. But a one-off event – no matter how dramatic – is not necessarily dementia. It’s about looking for a pattern of decline. If you see these changes happen in a short space of time (weeks or days) it is unlikely to be dementia and could be something more serious. This requires urgent investigation by a doctor. <h2>Greatest fear</h2> Dementia is one of the greatest fears of our age. The horror of perceived loss of self can cause people to avoid discussing the issue, discussing it in an unhelpful way (such as criticising or inadvertently humiliating) or discussing it with other relatives, but not the person they are noticing changes in. Over time, this can cause a lack of trust to develop. Discussing memory problems openly with the person at the point of a memory failure or if they raise the concern is best. Of course, it takes courage and makes us face our own vulnerability. Sometimes the person will be in denial or lack insight into the memory problems (this can be a symptom of dementia, but isn’t always). If someone raises a concern about their memory issues, I would urge you not to minimise this, as it probably took courage to admit their concerns. I heard a relative say to my mother: “Oh, you left the pot on the stove. I lost the car in the multistory the other day.” My mother had dementia – the relative did not. If they are adamant that they do not have concerns, this is harder to deal with. One approach is to say: “I know you are not concerned, but I am concerned and I wonder if you would see a doctor to ease my worries?” Also explaining that memory problems can at least to some extent have reversible causes means a visit to the doctor to at least rule these out is an important step. It may also be encouraging to say to the person: “If there is something with your memory that will get worse over time, would you want to know?” (Most people <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2408568/">answer yes</a> to this). <h2>Seeing a GP</h2> If your partner agrees to visit a GP, it is helpful to prepare by filling in a diary for a week with the kind of memory (or other) problems experienced, what was happening at the time and the effect of the memory failure. This can be shared with a GP to help them to understand the issues. When people hear even the suggestion of the word dementia, they are faced with the uncertainties of what will become of them, of what they will lose, what they can keep up and where they will end up. These uncertainties are often shared with family members. But research shows that positive aspects of timely diagnosis <a href="https://www.scie.org.uk/dementia/symptoms/diagnosis/early-diagnosis.asp">outweigh fears</a> over time. At the same time, there are often ongoing stresses to do with memory impairments or confusion. With these stresses, everyday life can be troublesome, family relationships can suffer, and people can find it difficult to be supportive of each other. Being honest and open is the best policy. Stating that we are in this together, I want to help, let’s meet whatever happens head on, can help. If a person becomes resistant, it may be there is another family member who might better assist the person.<img style="border: none !important; box-shadow: none !important; margin: 0 !important; max-height: 1px !important; max-width: 1px !important; min-height: 1px !important; min-width: 1px !important; opacity: 0 !important; outline: none !important; padding: 0 !important;" src="https://counter.theconversation.com/content/219172/count.gif?distributor=republish-lightbox-basic" alt="The Conversation" width="1" height="1" /> <a href="https://theconversation.com/profiles/kate-irving-1493654">Kate Irving</a>, Professor of Clinical Nursing, <a href="https://theconversation.com/institutions/dublin-city-university-1528">Dublin City University</a> Image credits: Getty Images This article is republished from <a href="https://theconversation.com">The Conversation</a> under a Creative Commons license.

Foul play suspected in tragic death of TV star's 15-year-old niece

Police are investigating the death of TV star Audrina Patridge’s 15-year-old niece, after her cause of death was revealed to be a drug overdose. Young Sadie passed away in February just nine days after her 15th birthday. Police are still looking into the exact manner of how the teenager died, as they are investigating different avenues of how the drugs entered her system. Sources have been trying to figure out how the teenager got her hands on narcotics, adding that police have learned that she allegedly used Snapchat to procure Percocet that was laced with fentanyl. Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid drug, which can be up to 100x stronger than typical opioid drugs like morphine. Fentanyl, a very fast acting medication, is a prescription drug used during surgeries and prescribed for very severe pain, often in late-stage cancers. Despite being an effective pain reliever, Fentanyl is also manufactured illegally and may be sold as powder, fake pills or mixed in with other illicit drugs, like heroin, with this combination being especially deadly. Audrina, known for her role on The Hills, shared the heartbreaking news in February that her niece had passed away in a 10-slide Instagram tribute. “My heart hurts to even write this. My beautiful niece is now in heaven,” she captioned the slide show that looked back on cherished memories. “I know it’s not goodbye forever, but it is the hardest to say goodbye for now. We will miss you and cherish every single moment we had with you. Rest in peace Say Say!! We love you forever & ever!” Image credits: Instagram

Vegan raw food influencer dies of suspected "starvation and exhaustion"

Zhanna Samsonova, a well-known vegan raw food influencer with a significant following on social media, has tragically passed away in Malaysia reportedly due to starvation and exhaustion resulting from her 'extreme' tropical fruit diet. For a decade, Zhanna, also known as Zhanna D'Art, had maintained a raw plant-based diet, which mainly consisted of exotic fruits, sunflower seed sprouts, fruit smoothies, and juices. Additionally, she occasionally practiced 'dry fasting,' abstaining from food and water for extended periods. The 39-year-old influencer, who had not consumed water for over six years, replaced it solely with fruit and vegetable juices. On July 21, she succumbed to what her mother described as a cholera-like infection exacerbated by her highly restrictive eating habits. At the time of her passing, Zhanna was in Malaysia, continuing her travels across Asia, which had spanned 17 years. Her family faced bureaucratic challenges in repatriating her body back to Russia, making the mourning process even more difficult. At the time of writing, her official cause of death has not yet been determined. Zhanna's mother, Vera Samsonova, expressed her disapproval of her daughter's extreme diet and had attempted to persuade her to adopt a more balanced approach, but her efforts were in vain. <blockquote class="instagram-media" style="background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);" data-instgrm-captioned="" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/p/CtLLqS1PecT/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading" data-instgrm-version="14"> <div style="padding: 16px;"> <div style="display: flex; flex-direction: row; align-items: center;"> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 40px; margin-right: 14px; width: 40px;"> </div> <div style="display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center;"> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 100px;"> </div> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 60px;"> </div> </div> </div> <div style="padding: 19% 0;"> </div> <div style="display: block; height: 50px; margin: 0 auto 12px; width: 50px;"> </div> <div style="padding-top: 8px;"> <div style="color: #3897f0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 550; line-height: 18px;">View this post on Instagram</div> </div> <div style="padding: 12.5% 0;"> </div> <div style="display: flex; flex-direction: row; margin-bottom: 14px; align-items: center;"> <div> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(0px) translateY(7px);"> </div> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; height: 12.5px; transform: rotate(-45deg) translateX(3px) translateY(1px); width: 12.5px; flex-grow: 0; margin-right: 14px; margin-left: 2px;"> </div> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(9px) translateY(-18px);"> </div> </div> <div style="margin-left: 8px;"> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 20px; width: 20px;"> </div> <div style="width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 2px solid transparent; border-left: 6px solid #f4f4f4; border-bottom: 2px solid transparent; transform: translateX(16px) translateY(-4px) rotate(30deg);"> </div> </div> <div style="margin-left: auto;"> <div style="width: 0px; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-right: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(16px);"> </div> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; flex-grow: 0; height: 12px; width: 16px; transform: translateY(-4px);"> </div> <div style="width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-left: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(-4px) translateX(8px);"> </div> </div> </div> <div style="display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center; margin-bottom: 24px;"> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 224px;"> </div> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 144px;"> </div> </div> <p style="color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;"><a style="color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none;" href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CtLLqS1PecT/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A post shared by Raw food Creation by Zhanna D’art (@rawveganfoodchef)</a> </div> </blockquote> Over time, the influencer transitioned from a vegan diet to a purely raw food diet, sharing what she believed were 'healthy' recipes on her Instagram profile. However, her social media presence started to reveal an increasingly emaciated appearance, raising concerns among her followers, friends, and family. Many of her loved ones warned her about the potential dangers of her extreme diet, but Zhanna remained steadfast in her convictions. Ultimately, her refusal to heed their advice led to a tragic outcome, with reports indicating that her raw food diet contributed significantly to her demise. In 2021, during a trip to Russia, Zhanna contracted COVID-19 and chose to handle it through an unorthodox method of dry fasting, lasting more than ten days. Despite initially claiming to have overcome the virus, her health may have been compromised, leading to further complications down the line. The passing of Zhanna Samsonova has sparked discussions about the importance of balanced and informed dietary choices. Her story serves as a cautionary tale, urging individuals to approach extreme diets with care and consideration for their overall well-being. Images: Instagram

8-year-old boy dies in suspected electrocution while on holiday

An 8-year-old boy has been found dead at a popular Fiji resort while on holiday. The young boy was holidaying with family last week at the Club Wyndham Denarau Island resort, located on Fiji’s main island, a resort spokesperson confirmed. He was found unresponsive by another guest in the gardens of the resort last Thursday, and was unable to revived. Fiji police are working with resort staff to determine whether the boy may have been electrocuted. "Initial information gathered is that the child was allegedly electrocuted however the post-mortem will have to confirm that," a Fiji police spokesperson told the <a title="Sydney Morning Herald" href="https://www.smh.com.au/national/nsw/eight-year-old-sydney-boy-allegedly-electrocuted-dies-at-fiji-resort-20230213-p5ck73.html" target="" rel="">Sydney Morning Herald</a>.

Maddie McCann suspect charged with sex offences

Christian Brueckner, the only suspect in the Madeleine McCann case, has been charged with several sex offences. The 45-year-old, who is already in jail for raping a 72-year-old American woman in the Portuguese resort of Praia de Luz in 2005, is the only suspect in the Maddie McCann case. The Braunschweig prosecutor's office said Brueckner has been charged with several sex offences he committed in Portugal between December 28, 2000, and June 11, 2017. “The accused is the same person against whom charges were brought in connection with the disappearance of the then three-year-old British girl Madeleine Beth McCann,” they said in a statement. "Specifically, the accused is charged with three offences of aggravated rape and two offences of sexual abuse of children.” Police are however continuing their investigation into the disappearance of the then three-year-old who vanished in May 2007 from her bedroom in the Algarve apartment where her family were staying. "The investigation into the disappearance of Madeleine McCann continues." "In view of the ongoing investigation, it is not possible to provide any further information on the results of the investigation so far." Brueckner, who was first named as a suspect in the case in April 2022, has denied any involvement in the disappearance of Maddie. Images: Getty

Pro cyclist shot dead at 25, suspect at large

Elite cyclist Anna Moriah “Mo” Wilson was preparing to compete in a marathon race in Texas, before she was shot and killed at a friend's home in Austin. The 25-year-old athlete was hot off the trail of a series of successes in her spring season before she was killed. US Marshals are investigating her death, as they search for a 34-year-old woman suspected of her murder, while police investigators are digging into Wilson’s past relationship with the suspect’s boyfriend. Wilson’s family is mourning the loss of their “beautiful daughter and sister,” who excelled as a biker and skier. “Moriah was a talented, kind, and caring young woman. Her life was taken from her before she had the opportunity to achieve everything she dreamed of,” the family said. Moriah was at the top of her game in the relatively new sport of gravel racing, and was just days from participating in the Gravel Locos bike race at the time of her death. The day after the race, an event organiser remembered her on Facebook as a “role model, a shy compassionate person, a spirited tactical racer and a competitor that genuinely cared about those competing against you.” Kaitlin Marie Armstrong, a 34-year-old Austin resident, is wanted for homicide in the killing and is now a fugitive, the US Marshals said. Both women had recently been in romantic relationships with the same man - professional cyclist Colin Strickland - and messages and interviews with tipsters suggest jealousy could be a potential motive, according to the affidavit filed in Travis County District Court.

Prime suspect in Madeleine McCann case breaks silence

Less than a week after being declared an official suspect in the disappearance of Madeleine McCann, Christian Brueckner has spoken out in a letter sent from his prison cell. After the 45-year-old <a href="https://www.oversixty.co.nz/news/news/major-development-in-madeleine-mccann-case" target="_blank" rel="noopener">was named an “arguido” or “official suspect”</a> by Portuguese prosecutors late last week, he sent a letter to an unidentified woman that was shared with the <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10746893/Maddie-suspect-Christian-Brueckner-describes-known-bad-person-world.html?ito=social-facebook&fbclid=IwAR0n1qmfxrYztgKZoYWmMzuR-SDwnTKjYBBOzPHeKQEABDgoA4M3fSHi0ik" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Daily Mail</a>. In the five-page letter, he stressed he wasn’t at the Praia de Luz resort at the time of Madeleine’s disappearance in May, 2007 and has become “the most known bad person in the world and did nothing - well almost nothing”. “I wasn’t kidnapping anybody and of course, I wasn’t killing anybody,” he wrote. “I’ll go further, I’ll tell you I wasn’t attacking anybody after I was 18. “I made some silly mistakes when I was younger but who hasn’t?” According to the Daily Mail, he then referred to the McCann case, writing: “Perhaps I was a suspect after all they found out about me. “Drug dealer, breaking into houses, living in cars and there was something with kids when I was 17. “But they had not even one proof (sic) that I was involved with the McCann case. And they still don’t have it. “I know why. Because they have no hairs or anything from Maddie what means (sic) that nobody can put anything like that into my stuff to find it. “The idea behind that all perhaps was to make the BKA (German police) and German prosecutor famous as well known all over the world as the smartest organisation ever.” Brueckner is currently serving seven years for raping a 72-year-old woman, and is being probed over the 2004 rape of a second woman and sexual assault of a 10-year-old girl at Praia da Luz a month before Madeleine disappeared. In the letter, Brueckner suggests that authorities were leaking information about him to portray him in a poor light, according to the Daily Mail. “I know of about five open cases against me, all of them including raping and abusing,” he wrote. “They have manipulated the truth in such an unprofessional way that I am laughing. “I still have not lost my sense of humour. Even in this critical situation. This is what keeps me alive.” Madeleine disappeared just a few days before her fourth birthday while holidaying with her parents, Kate and Garry. The couple marked what would have been her 18th birthday last year and said they still “hang on to hope” that they will see her again. “As we have said repeatedly, we need to know what has happened to our lovely daughter, no matter what. We are very grateful to the police for their continued efforts,” they said, per <a href="https://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/news/world/madeleine-mccann-disappearance-christian-brueckner-breaks-his-silence-over-her-disappearance-in-letter-from-prison-cell/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NewsTalk ZB</a>. “We still receive so many positive words and good wishes despite the years that have gone by.

Major development in Madeleine McCann case

Long-time suspect Christian Brueckner has been declared a formal suspect over the disappearance of Madeleine McCann by Portuguese authorities. German newspaper Bild reported that Brueckner has been named as an “arguido” or “official suspect” by prosecutors, two years after he was first identified as a prime suspect by German authorities. The 44-year-old is currently serving a seven-year prison sentence in Germany for the 2005 rape of 72-year-old woman at the same Praia da Luz resort Madeleine disappeared from in 2007. Madeleine disappeared from the apartment her family was staying in on May 3, 2007, a few days before her fourth birthday. In a statement issued by the Faro Department of Criminal Investigation and Prosecution (DIAP), prosecutors confirmed Brueckner’s status as an official suspect on Wednesday, April 20. “As part of the investigation into the circumstances surrounding the disappearance of Madeleine McCann in 2007, a person was made an arguido on Wednesday,” the Portiamo section of the DIAP said. It is understood the push to declare Brueckner as a suspect after it emerged he could potentially escape charges due to Portugal’s 15-year statute of limitations for serious crimes, per <a href="https://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/real-life/news-life/christian-brueckner-named-official-suspect-over-madeleine-mccann-disappearance/news-story/ec54721b7de9059c54a1fa54659f6eec" target="_blank" rel="noopener">news.com.au</a> and the <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10740813/Convicted-rapist-Christian-Brueckner-44-official-suspect-Madeleine-McCann-case.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Daily Mail</a>. “The legal grounds for making Brueckner an arguido include the fact that he allegedly confessed to a friend he had snatched Madeleine and mobile phone records placed him in Praia da Luz the night she vanished,” a “well-placed source” reportedly told the Daily Mail. “But it is obviously linked to the fact that the Portuguese authorities want to keep their options open with the 15-year deadline looming.” Brueckner’s lawyers told the publication he hadn’t been charged over Madeleine’s disappearance. The news comes several months after Brueckner claimed it would have been “absurd” for him to have abducted Madeleine via a string of letters broadcast on German TV. He wrote that he survived working as a drug dealer by following “a few key principles”, including “not abducting anyone”. “Where possible, only driving during the day so that my battered ‘hippy bus’ didn’t attract attention, only driving on the roads I needed to and, most importantly, never provoking police,” he wrote. “So that means not committing any crimes, certainly not abducting anyone. “Having said that, this was just as absurd to me at the time as starting a nuclear war or slaughtering a chicken.” Image: Getty Images

Tributes flow for siblings named in suspected murder-suicide

Tributes are flowing for two young siblings who died in a suspected double murder-suicide by their mother in Perth. Abiyah, 10, and Aiden Selvan, eight, were found dead in the back seat of a car at John Graham Reserve in Coogee, west of the city, on Monday morning. Their heartbroken father had left for the US on Sunday and arrived back home in Perth on Wednesday after hearing the devastating news. Principal Bill Innes of Providence Christian College and students at the children’s school remembered the siblings with messages and flowers. “You can never prepare for something like this,” Principal Innes told <a href="https://7news.com.au/news/wa/heartbreaking-tributes-flow-for-young-victims-abiyah-and-aiden-selvan-killed-in-suspected-coogee-murder-suicide-c-6081634" target="_blank" rel="noopener">7News</a>. “We’re still numb, it’s still sinking in. To see those faces, it’s not easy.” A bulletin board was offered to the students to write their messages to Abiyah and Aiden. Abiyah was described as being the “brightest light of the world” from one of her fellow classmates. “Remember I always love you. It pains me to know I will never see you smile, touch you, laugh with you, and even wave to you,” another of her friends wrote. “Your secrets! Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone in honour of you. I will never forget you. See you in heaven,” another student wrote. A message dedicated to Aiden simply read, “I will miss you.” Tsaparah Tabernacle, the church the family attended was in a “state of shock” when news spread of the suspected double murder-suicide. “We don’t have an understanding of what’s going on, we are puzzled and completely shocked at this stage,” a church spokesman told <a href="https://thewest.com.au/news/crime/coogee-car-fire-neighbours-reveal-details-of-mum-children-killed-in-suspected-murder-suicide--c-6065373" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The West Australian</a>.

Suspect named in missing campers arrest

A man <a rel="noopener" href="https://www.oversixty.com.au/news/news/man-arrested-over-missing-campers" target="_blank">arrested earlier this week</a> over the disappearance of Victorian campers Carol Clay and Russell Hill has been identified as Jetstar pilot Greg Lynn. The 55-year-old from Caroline Springs, in Melbourne’s west, was arrested on Monday afternoon by special operations officers at a campsite near Arbuckle Junction, 166 kilometres east of Melbourne. No charges have been laid against him as he continues to be questioned by police. Jetstar has confirmed that the pilot had been stood down following his arrest. “Jetstar has been advised by Victoria Police that one of its employees is under investigation for a serious crime and will work to assist in this due process in any way we can,” a spokesperson <a rel="noopener" href="https://www.9news.com.au/national/man-arrested-over-mysterious-disappearance-of-missing-victorian-campers-russell-hill-carol-clay/4f49420d-5d0d-41fc-8f8f-825086c6a3f7" target="_blank">said</a> in a statement. “As a matter of course, the employee has been removed from duty as a result of their arrest.” Authorities have alleged that the dark blue Nissan Patrol they have been searching for - and have since seized - belongs to Mr Lynn. <img style="width: 500px; height: 281px;" src="https://oversixtydev.blob.core.windows.net/media/7845854/car-lynn.jpg" alt="" data-udi="umb://media/57bd994d209c4e57a02c03c743a53008" /> A car has been seized in the investigation into Russell and Carol’s disappearance.

Girlfriend of Maddy McCann suspect reveals key detail

The former girlfriend of a suspect in the Madeleine McCann case has revealed a bombshell admission he once made to her. German sex offender Christian Brueckner has long been thew sole suspect in the abduction of three-year-old Madeleine, and in 2014, he made a chilling remark to his girlfriend Nakscije Miftari. While at a party in their German apartment, Maddy's disappearance was brought up, prompting Christian to fall silent. "I remember he made no answer to the question," she told <a rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10172917/Madeleine-McCann-suspect-Christian-Brueckner-told-girlfriend-near-holiday-villa.html?ito=social-facebook&fbclid=IwAR1w2DEawHqx8pqUjKrQrar2Y1Fwabok91QC1eURmgQfG2INeC5KV5uK4aQ" target="_blank" class="link rapid-noclick-resp" data-ylk="slk:The Mail on Sunday">The Mail on Sunday</a> in an exclusive interview. Ms Miftari said she pressed Brueckner on Madeleine's disappearance after their guests had left, prompting him to open up about what he knew. "He said, 'I know about Maddie, I was near the hotel at the time. I was living in the area at the time. I am not going to say anything more. I am not a stupid guy, I am a businessman'," she recalled. The admission is the first known instance of Christian admitting to being in the area where Madeleine was last seen. Madeleine vanished from her family's hotel room at the Ocean Club resort in Praia da Luz, in Portugal’s Algarve region, in 2007 while her parents had dinner at a nearby restaurant. German detectives identified Christian Brueckner, 44, as the main suspect in her disappearance last year, but are yet to file any charges against him in relation to the high-profile case.

“I’m coming for you!” Suspect charged in Cleo's alleged abduction

A 36-year-old man has appeared in court over charges of allegedly kidnapping four-year-old Cleo Smith. Terence Darrell Kelly was taken into custody and questioned at about midnight on Wednesday morning, after being pulled over in a car by police. Detectives then attended his home and found the little girl. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> The miracle we all hoped for. ❤️ <a href="https://t.co/zOd5WDTA1A">pic.twitter.com/zOd5WDTA1A</a> — WA Police Force (@WA_Police) <a href="https://twitter.com/WA_Police/status/1455761708262199308?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 3, 2021</a></blockquote> In a statement released late on Thursday, police said Mr Kelly had been charged with “various offences”, including one count of forcibly taking a child under the age of 16. “Given this matter is now before the court, police are unable to make any further comment on the charges at this stage,” police <a rel="noopener" href="https://www.news.com.au/national/western-australia/police-expected-to-soon-charge-man-suspected-of-abducting-cleo-smith/news-story/d63383b933c42d0dddd4fb2457dd9be6" target="_blank">said</a>. After briefly appearing before Carnarvon Magistrates Court, Mr Kelly was remanded in custody for four weeks. According to reports from The Australian, Mr Kelly made several outbursts during the proceedings, including saying “I’m coming for you”. It is said he also asked the magistrate, “What the f**k are the media doing here?”, with the magistrate replying that “it’s an open court”. Mr Kelly only became a suspect in the case surrounding Cleo’s disappearance on Tuesday afternoon as a result of a ”very quick-moving investigation”. “He was arrested not long after that,” lead investigator Detective Superintendent Rod Wilde said. When asked if Mr Kelly drove the car seen at about 3am on the night Cleo disappeared, Superintendent Wilde said that was still undetermined. “That hasn’t been confirmed as yet, but certainly we would say that that car was significant and it was in the right time frame,” he said. In an earlier radio interview on Thursday, Superintendent Wilde dismissed claims that Mr Kelly was injured by a cellmate after being taken into custody. “No, that’s not true. My understanding is that the man in custody self-harmed,” he told 6PR radio. “Obviously, in modern police stations there’s CCTV in all the cells.” Superintendent Wilde also told reporters on Thursday that Mr Kelly had been taken to the hospital twice after he allegedly harmed himself. <img style="width: 500px; height: 281.25px;" src="https://oversixtydev.blob.core.windows.net/media/7845356/cleo-suspect1.jpg" alt="" data-udi="umb://media/c98de43fc62c4d0eb7f09a9b830f5bd9" /> Social media pictures of Mr Kelly’s doll collection. Image: Facebook Social media posts have revealed photos of Mr Kelly holding Bratz toy dolls, as well as a room full of toy dolls. Though Cleo has been found and reunited with her parents, Superintendent Wilde said there was still work to do to establish what happened. “Obviously there’s a process to go through with our child specialist interviewers that are here now,” he said. He also called on the public to refrain from sharing “wild theories” or speculating on what happened online. “There’s been a lot of it through this investigation. It’s unhelpful, we see that it’s untrue, it only damages people,” he said. “We’ve got a legal process that we’ll need to go through — that’s where the facts will come forward. “Everyone please keep those theories to yourself and don’t go sticking them on social media — it’s very unhelpful.” Image: Facebook

“He is known”: New details on Cleo suspect

As Cleo Smith was reunited with her family after an intensive two-and-a-half week search, many who have been gripped by her case want answers on her alleged abductor. The missing four-year-old was found locked inside a Carnarvon home at 1 am on Wednesday morning, and an arrest of a 36-year-old man was made nearby. Western Australia police have said the man has no connections to Cleo's family. Homicide Detective Superintendent Rod Wilde confirmed that the man in custody has been known to local police before. "He is known but I have to be very careful around that," Detective Superintendent Wilde said when questioned by reporters. WA Police said he only became a suspect in the case on Tuesday and had previously not been of interest. While in his holding cell, the man in custody sustained serious head injuries and was taken to the local hospital by police. The man, who has remained nameless, has since returned to custody. After Cleo was taken to safety and reunited with her parents, police spent the day collecting evidence and seized several items from the man's house, including a rug which was flown to Perth for forensic examination. Det. Supt. Wilde confirmed Cleo was taken from the campsite and that police didn't believe anyone else had been involved except the man, as he said, "It appears to be opportunistic." EDITOR’S UPDATE: Terence Darrell Kelly has been taken into custody and questioned before police released a statement late on Thursday Nov 4, saying he had been charged with “various offences” relating to Cleo’s Smith’s alleged abduction, including one count of forcibly taking a child aged under 16.

“I'd be uncomfortable”: Police closing in on missing campers suspect

The families of campers Russell Hill and Carol Clay - who went missing 19 months ago - have spoken publicly for the first time, sharing their desperation for answers. Mr Hill, 74, and Ms Clay, 73, were last seen on March 20 last year while on a camping trip in a remote area of East Gippsland, Victoria. Mr Hill left his home in West Gippsland the day prior, collecting Ms Clay from her Pakenham home before they travelled to Wonnangatta Valley in his white Toyota LandCruiser. Mr Hill didn’t tell his wife that he was with Ms Clay, and was last heard from on November 20 via HF radio, stating he was at Wonnangatta Valley in the Victorian Alps. Ms Clay told friends she was going away and was expecting to return on March 28 or 29. Police believe a third party was involved in their disappearance and launched a renewed appeal for information as they narrow down their search. <img style="width: 500px; height: 281.25px;" src="https://oversixtydev.blob.core.windows.net/media/7844954/clay-russell.jpg" alt="" data-udi="umb://media/bf837acd1b0b4b11b68e2686ca14e3da" /> Image: Victoria Police However, Mr Hill’s daughters say they believe he is no longer alive. “I don’t really believe he could be alive. He wouldn’t hide,” his daughter Debbie <a href="https://www.news.com.au/national/victoria/news/family-of-missing-wonnangatta-campers-russell-hill-carol-clay-break-silence-as-police-close-in-on-what-happened/news-story/22eea65cb86ed84a6b45351551321438">said</a>. “It’s really hard. It’s not getting any better. It’s not knowing … you’re just stuck.” “There’s nothing to go by,” Colleen said. Ms Clay’s sister Jill said she believes something went wrong, and has a message for whoever was responsible. “I immediately knew there was something horribly wrong,” she said. “My message is that you’re undertaken a heinous act. You’ve got to live with that for the rest of your life. “We need closure. We need to know what happened and we need to know where their bodies are so we can put them to rest.” Robyn, Mr Hill’s wife, also said she feared the worst while speaking to NCA NewsWire in May. “I won’t ever see him again,” she said. “I can’t see how they will come home. He hasn’t spent any money, he hasn’t done anything. I just want them found, one way or the other.” Mr Hill’s vehicle was found by fellow campers the day after he last made contact. The vehicle showed signs of minor fire damage, and was found next to their completely burnt-out campsite. <img style="width: 500px; height: 281.25px;" src="https://oversixtydev.blob.core.windows.net/media/7844956/clay-russell2.jpg" alt="" data-udi="umb://media/7607cfa3c5694886ad75b0a4dd2b96cb" /> Mr Russell and Ms Clay’s campsite. Image: ABC Since then, police have extensively searched the area, with members of the local police, Missing Persons Squad detectives, search and rescue squad, air wing, dog squad, and Australian Federal Police assisting. Police later moved the search 80km northwest in April, but the search stopped after detectives found two shovels in thick bush off the Great Alpine Road. However, police have not been able to link the shovels to the pair’s disappearance. Detective Inspector Andrew Stamper is confident the investigation’s twists and turns are leading police to a suspect. “I’d be uncomfortable,” Stamper told 7 News, in a big hint that police are close to a breakthrough. “Every day takes us further from the last time Russell and Carol were last seen alive, however I want to reassure the community that we are far from giving up. “Both families are also still desperate for answers about what happened to Russell and Carol and why, and I know our investigators are doing all they can to try and get those answers for them." To aid in their investigation, police are calling for anyone in the Wonnangatta area around March 20 to get in contact regardless of whether they say or heard anything. Detectives also wish to speak to anyone in the area around Howitt Plains and Zeka Spur Track on March 19 and 20, as well as anyone in Wonnangatta Valley and Wonnangatta Station between March 20-24. Anyone who sees Mr Hill or Ms Clay are urged to call triple-zero, while anyone with other information relating to their disappearance should contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Prime suspect in Madeleine McCann case purportedly leaks taunting cartoon

A cartoon allegedly drawn by the prime suspect in Madeleine McCann’s disappearance has been discovered in a German newspaper, which appears to mock German prosecutors leading the investigation against him. 44-year-old Christian Brueckner is currently in prison in northern Germany for raping a 72-year-old American woman in a Portuguese resort in 2005. The resort, Praia de Luz, is the same location where three-year-old Madeleine disappeared from her family’s apartment in 2007. After remaining unsolved for more than a decade, German investigators made headway when they identified Brueckner as a suspect in June, also stating that Madeleine was presumed dead. The cartoon purportedly created by Brueckner was obtained by German newspaper <a rel="noopener" href="https://www.bild.de/bild-plus/news/inland/news-inland/zeichnung-aus-dem-knast-maddie-verdaechtiger-verhoehnt-staatsanwalt-77470300,view=conversionToLogin.bild.html#fromWall" target="_blank">Bild</a> and appears to show Braunschweig prosecutor Hans Christian Wolters in court, wearing legal attire and holding a €5 bill while asking a clairvoyant for new evidence. <img style="width: 500px; height:302.3076923076923px;" src="https://oversixtydev.blob.core.windows.net/media/7843674/1e1ab46353f7a6eab7de073792e434d8a6f39a41.jpg" alt="" data-udi="umb://media/c56d21b0509f401e8a9c6ab424f78b58" /> Image: Bild “Is there anything new?” the judge asks a person sitting behind a curtain with a crystal ball, while the jury sleeps. The clairvoyant is believed to represent <a rel="noopener" href="https://www.oversixty.com.au/finance/legal/new-unusual-lead-in-madeleine-mccann-case" target="_blank">Michael Schneider</a> - the clairvoyant who provided police with exact coordinates where he believed Madeleine’s body would be found. However, questions still remain about how Brueckner would have leaked the cartoon to the publication from the high-security prison he is serving his sentence in. Previously, Brueckner purportedly penned a letter from his cell which was also published by Bild, where he labelled the investigation against him as an “unbelievable scandal”. Though he is the prime suspect in the McCann case, Brueckner is yet to be questioned or charged. Image: Getty Images

Main Madeleine McCann suspect claims "unbelievable scandal"

The main suspect in the disappearance of Madeleine McCann has slammed German prosecutors of an "unbelievable scandal" by prejudicing the case against him. Christian Brueckner, 44, has not been charged in relation to the 2007 disappearance of McCann but was publicly identified as a suspect last year. He broke his silence in a handwritten letter from prison where he is serving a sentence for the rape of a 72-year-old woman in Portugal in 2005. “Charging someone with a crime is one thing,” he said in the letter, according to the UK Telegraph. “It is something completely different - namely an unbelievable scandal - when a public prosecutor starts a public prejudicial campaign before proceedings are even opened,” Brueckner added. “You have proved worldwide, through arbitrary convictions in the past and through scandalous prejudicial campaigns in the present, that you are unsuitable for the office of an ‘advocate for the honest and German people who trust in justice’, and that you bring shame to the German legal system.” Brueckner was accused last year of raping the woman in the same seaside town where McCann disappeared. Prosecutors in the case have previously said they do not yet have enough evidence to arrest him.
