So as I stated all along, absolutely nothing gained by searching the Reservoir in Portugal. The German prosecutor was simply trying to clutch at ‘air.’ Not sure exactly what he was expecting to find. So what if Christian B visited the area, probably visited the area many times if you believe everything you read in the media.

There was absolutely no way that the German Prosecutor, was ever going to find anything at the Reservoir site, which could help prove, Christian B was responsible for Madeleines disappearance.
The man enjoyed visiting the Reservoir area apparently, so what, what does that mean?
As for the allegation that police tracked his mobile phone, and apparently a call was made on his mobile from very near the Ocean Club Resort, many questions to be asked about that allegation.

White ‘Lilies’ A Shrine to Madeleine
When I first read this in the media, something immediately struck me as very odd, something which made me ask myself, questions.
Lilies are very much a British thing, particularly white lilies and they are much associated with death and Funerals in the United Kingdom. Therefore something which most British people would be familiar with.
I have now had it confirmed by Portuguese sources, that Carnations and Roses are much more widely associated with death and Funerals in Portugal, not Lilies.
I am guessing Lilies are not that easy to obtain in Portugal, as say Roses or Carnations are.
My theory is, that it’s was a British person or persons who created this shrine.
In view of the fact that the media have just started to carry this story, why have the person or persons who created this shrine, not made themselves known to anyone?
I am just reading this very strange report, in the Independent 28th May 2023.
Does any of this add up to you?
A British Couple named only as Ralf and Anne, now claim, soon after Madeleine’s disappearance, (they don’t appear to say in what year) they visited the Reservoir and found a shrine to Madeleine.
Couple of points of interest here to me are:
They say they found, white Lilies together with a photo of Madeleine and a row of stones.
They say, they reported this to German police back in 2020. They heard back from the German police very quickly. So why has it taken three years for the German police to organise the search of this reservoir area?
The couple are British people, and knew the whole world was searching for Madeleine. I cannot understand, why in possession of this matter, they would not have also contacted the British media, with their photograph, together with alleged information, location etc etc for them to report on THREE years ago? Why only say something about this now?
Also the couple specifically mention ‘white lilies.’ White lilies are specifically associated with funerals in the UK. I wonder how easy or difficult it is to buy ‘white lilies’ in the area of the Reservoir? And are white lilies used in Portuguese funerals?
A very ODD report in my view.
So apparently the three day search around the reservoir, has allegedly, resulted in some items of interest being found, as reported in the mirror link below. These items will now take months for forensics to analyse. I have to say that my own view is that these will all prove negative, in the search for Madeleine.
The result being negative is exactly what happened in the Ben Needham case. Where items of alleged interest were sent for the same analysis, and yet months later, were shown to be unrelated to Ben’s case.

Yesterday 25th May 2023 the latest search for Madeleine McCann concluded in Portugal. I think it is safe to say that it is unlikely, that anything relating to Madeleines disappearance was actually found. This has been my feeling since announcement of this latest search was announced.
I see that one or two, but not the majority of media reporting, have included in their reporting, that the Home Office have now agreed further funding in this case for the Metropolitan Police. This round of funding is being reported to be £110,000. I cannot see any real reporting of this in the media, and cannot find any detail on the Home Office website.
In seeking permission to bring a Judicial Review, the Law states that such application to the High Court, must be made within three months of the decision date. I await confirmation that such funding has indeed been decided, so I can commence my application in the Administration Court.
I am not convinced this search will reveal anything at all about what happened to Madeleine McCann. The area was searched in 2008 and again in 2014. It is a large area to cover with what appears to be a small contingent of Police Officers.
If any evidence is found here connected to Madeleine, then it begs the question, why have millions of pounds of British Tax payers money been made available to the Metropolitan Police for many years? What has that money been spent on?
I suspect there will be good cause to seek permission for a Judicial Review. The decision by the Home Office as to wether to provide further funding to the Met Police, in Madeleines case, is imminent.
I have always felt, that Madeleine McCann will be found within 30 miles of where she was last seen. Worldwide alleged sighting, in cases like this, simply throw investigators way off track, when the answer very simply, lays very close to where the individual was last seen.
Lady Lucan use to tell me, in her husband’s case, these alleged worldwide sightings were simply, ‘red herrings.’
Social media reporting and comments, can be extremely damaging to a business, and an individual, especially if all the facts, are not known to those making such comments.
In 2009 I faced a prosecution under the animal welfare act, brought not by the RSPCA but by the vale of glamorgan council. This action was strangely taken after I had made two formal complaints against a council licensing officer, Amanda Ewington Gape.
I entered not guilty pleas to all summonses. Unfortunately I was then repeatedly poorly advised by my solicitor, Michael Morgan of Vale Solicitors, Llantwit Major, to change some of my pleas to guilty, and plea bargain on the others. Recovering from a breakdown, I eventually, very reluctantly had no option, but to take his professional advice.
Contemporaneous notes taken by the council vet, who was present at my home for the whole five hours, in which the same licensing officer (whom I had made the complaints against) searched my home, were never disclosed to me. The prosecution (the council) had a duty in criminal law to disclose these notes, they never did. Michael Morgan also never asked for these notes. I was not aware of this non compliance until sometime after my case had been concluded in the Magistrates court. I was then shown an email from solicitors representing the council employed vet, in which it states:
‘Mr Crosby has made repeated requests to see these notes. These notes must not be disclosed to Mr Crosby under any circumstances.’
I knew full well, what had been recorded in the contemporaneous notes, during the five hour search of my home, was completely different to what the council vet Mark Evans, then wrote in his report against me five weeks later. Had the council not had this veterinary report then the council would never have been able to prosecute me. I had always cared for all animals, under my control, to the highest of standards over the previous twenty odd years.
The incomplete reporting of this case, and the fact I subsequently felt left with no option, but to change some pleas to guilty, have ever since impacted upon my everyday businesses and personal life.
I was unaware until receiving written Barrister advice on 12th January 2023, that J A Hughes Solicitors, of Barry in the vale of glamorgan, (who were employed to deal with my appeal) had taken my appeal to the wrong court.
The Barristers Advice is very clear, the case should have been taken back to the Magistrate’s court, where an application to vacate the guilty pleas, should have been made, and a date for a trial would have been set down. There has never been a trial in my case.The failure of J A Hughes (now trading as quality Solicitors) to act within the law, is irreparable, and I will have to live with this conviction for the rest of my life.
There is now in process, a substantial claim against J A Hughes. Their professional indemnity insurers, have employed lawyers RPC of Bristol, who have until 30th June 2023, to either admit my claim, deny the claim, or settle my claim without making any admission of guilt. Should it prove necessary for me to issue a claim at the Kings bench, at the High Court, RPC have been advised, that my claim will be for a considerably higher amount.
This is a case, where the continued resurfacing, on social media about this case, and the loss of business I continue to suffer, where those commenting, do not understand, or do not wish to understand the facts, can now greatly enhance my chances, of a successful out come to my substantial claim.
There will soon be a YouTube video on my Channel, about this case called The Truth of The Lie.
Involved in this case are:
Licensing Officer Amanda Ewington Gape (whom I had registered two formal complaints against, and who then illegally obtained a warrant to enter my home, and executed it).
Mark Evans Valley Vets Cardiff (the vale of glamorgan council vet). www.valleyvets.net
Michael Morgan of Vale Solicitors, Llantwit Major. (Mr Morgan was the solicitor who failed to request disclosure of ‘contemporaneous notes’ taken by both Amanda Ewington Gape, and Mark Evans). This resulted in Mr Morgan advising me on numerous occasions to change some of my pleas to guilty. www.valesolicitors.com
J A Hughes solicitors of Barry (now called Quality Solicitors). They were employed to represent me in my appeal against conviction. According to Barristers advice dated 12th January 2023, J A Hughes should have taken my case back to the Magistrates court, made application to vacate my pleas, and a trial date would then have been set. Most importantly the reason for referral back to the Magistrate’s court, in my case, was because clearly, my guilty pleas were ‘equivocal.’ www.qualitysolicitors.com
RPC Solicitors. Have been instructed by the Professional Indemnity Insurers acting for J A Hughes (Quality solicitors). www.rpc.co.uk
Numerous requests for such funding, have been made for many years. Total funding of this case to date, is around £13 Million pounds.
Never has such a large amount of funding of tax payers money, ever been available to any other missing person.
In 2019 I considered that it was time then, to seek permission in the Administration Court, at the High Court, to launch a Judicial Review. Unfortunately I could not find a lawyer to take on this enormous challenge, a case which holds unprecedented public interest.
Now in 2023 we hear, a further request for yet more funding, was recently made to the Home Office.
I wrote to the Home Office on the 14th May 2023, as a matter of courtesy, not by any requirement of compliance of pre court protocol, just as a matter of courtesy. I informed them that when they provide further funding to the Metropolitan Police in Madeleine McCanns case, I will be seeking permission from the Court, to be allowed to bring a Judicial Review.
The application will be made on the following two points of Law. That the decision to provide further funding, was ‘irrational’ and there was ‘Procedural Impropriety.’
