PROFILE OF A PREDATOR: CHRISTIAN BRUECKNER

This is the profile of a serial predator, Christian Brueckner – a German man linked with multiple cases of abduction, abuse and murder of both young and old for more than ten years.

Incarcerated for the past eight years, he will once again go on trial in 2024 for more crimes of a disturbing nature, and suspected of abducting Madeleine McCann in 2007 is to stand trial in the new year for the rape of an Irish woman in Portugal.

He will be tried at Braunschweig High Court in Germany – accused of raping Dubliner Hazel Behan when she was just 20 in 2004, during a four-hour horrific ordeal – along with two other known victims.

It is a pattern he developed and repeated again in 2005 on a 72-year-old American tourist staying in a Portuguese resort.

Brueckner will likely – in the years to come – be most linked to the abduction and disappearance of 3-year-old British child Madeleine McCann in the Portuguese resort of Praia da Luz (2007).

But this Radio Espial feature – PROFILE OF A PREDATOR: Christian Brueckner – is anything but a focus on the case of Madeleine McCann. There are simply far too many victims of Brueckner before and after to focus on just one case alone.

CASES FEATURED/REFERRED TO:

Hazel Behan

Inga Gehricke

Rene Hasee

Unnamed US Tourist (Linda)

Carola Titze

Madeleine McCann

This feature has input from several news media documentaries on the above cases. It also exposes the myth that Christian Brueckner was unknown to German, British, Belgian and Portuguese police authorities when some of the crimes referred to were committed. In reality, Brueckner was a dangerous predator on the young and old for years, hiding in plain sight.

The Case of Raonaid Murray

The body of Raonaid Murray (17) was found at Silchester Crescent, Glenageary, Dublin, less than 500 metres from her home on September 3rd, 1999. She was returning at approximately 11.20 pm from a night out at Scotts pub in Dun Laoghaire town centre. Her intention, made known to friends by mobile phone (using her friend's device at Scotts), was to return home, change, and head out to a local nightclub around midnight. She never got home. She was stabbed to death near her home (about 10 minutes away) while walking up a footpath with a one-and-a-half inch knife around midnight or shortly before. Forensics revealed that she was stabbed multiple times, but many initial wounds were not fatal or intrusive and would case death, as if punishment wounds. She staggered some 15 metres before the fatal stab wounds were delivered to her side and piercing vital organs. She bleed to death and about 20 minutes later and was discovered by her elder sister out with her friends earlier when they exite

WOKE: The Trope That Doesn't Work

WOKE - a word we now hear so often used in ridicule of others on social media commentary. But like so many tropes used against others, its user - by the mere act of using it - clearly demonstrates a complete lack of understanding of its true meaning and origin. If anything, its usage, now defines more the user, than the intended reciprocate. And its not a new word by any stretch of 21st Century meaning. It dates back more than 80 years but has only in the past few years reignited its common and increasing usage in everyday English language. ORIGIN - THE WOKE It originally dates back to a comment from an African American United Mine Workers official in 1940 (USA), stating: "Let me tell you buddy. Waking up is a damn sight harder than going to sleep, but we'll stay woke up longer." Think of all the times in exchanges online (primarily social media) that you've been described as 'woke' in a derogatory way. Ask yourselves, have you noticed how often those throwing
