German police have revealed that there is new evidence regarding the disappearance of Madeleine McCann, pointing to the outcome that she is d.ead.
In what is being described as a breakthrough in one of the world’s most haunting missing child cases, investigators say they’ve found damning evidence that Madeleine is d.ead — and they’re pointing the finger squarely at long-time suspect Christian Brueckner.
German police have reportedly spent years compiling evidence against Brueckner, a convicted p@ed0phile, and now claim to have uncovered a chilling trove of material at his abandoned bolthole that could explain what really happened to the British toddler.
Among the findings were children’s clothes, bikes, and over 75 children’s swimming costumes — despite the fact that Brueckner has no children of his own, per the Sun.
Police also discovered masks, chemicals, unlicensed g*ns, ammuniti0n, and even a satnav showing movements around the Algarve — where Madeleine disappeared.
Madeleine’s parents, Kate and Gerry McCann, have spent nearly two decades begging for answers.
“All we have ever wanted is to find her, uncover the truth and bring those responsible to justice,” the couple said in 2020, as per People.
“We will never give up hope of finding Madeleine alive but whatever the outcome may be, we need to know, as we need to find peace.”
A huge part of the case against Brueckner comes from a disused factory in Neuwegersleben, central Germany — a property he bought in 2008, just a year after Madeleine vanished.
In 2016, a neighbour’s dog ran into the compound and started digging at what looked like a grave.
Cops moved in and made a shocking discovery: under Brueckner’s d.e.ad dog, they found a wallet containing six USB sticks and two memory cards — packed with what’s described as “highly disturbing material.”
A full-scale search was launched involving 100 officers. What they uncovered stunned even seasoned investigators: a hard drive of photos, stories written by Brueckner, in which he described kidn@pping and @bus!ng children.
The depth of the material is what has reportedly led German police to believe that Madeleine is no longer alive.
In another damning twist, investigators uncovered a satnav and images linking Brueckner to the Arade Dam — an area around 35 miles from Praia da Luz. That spot, of course, became a focal point of the search.
Among the recovered images were pictures of him modelling a mask eerily similar to ones found at his lair.
Police also claim to have found an insurance document, signed by Brueckner, placing him at a festival in Orgiva, Spain, in April 2008 — where he allegedly confessed to k**ling Madeleine.
In 2020, German authorities publicly confirmed they had a prime suspect in Madeleine’s case and believed she was d.ead. That suspect was later confirmed to be Brueckner.
Despite this, he has never been formally charged in connection with Madeleine’s disappearance.
Brueckner has denied all allegations.
