Madeleine McCann news LIVE: Latest updates as police 'looking for rags and pink pyjamas' continue search for signs of missing British girl at Algarve reservoir (Portugal)
Daily Mail ^ | 5-24-23 | CHRIS JEWERS

Respected Portuguese media outlet Expresso has reported the search operation is taking place following a tip from a 'very credible' German police informer, it was claimed today.

The informant gave detectives 'details' they took 'very seriously,' it said.

Who is Christian Brueckner? The prime Madeleine Mccann suspect The disappearance of Madeleine McCann from the popular holiday resort in Portugal's Algarve has confounded detectives for more than 16 years.

No one has ever been charged in connection with the disappearance of Maddie, who would now be almost 20. However, German prosecutors believe they have an answer to the 16-year-old mystery: convicted paedophile Christian Brueckner.

The suspect lived in the Algarve between 1995 and 2007 and burgled hotels and holiday flats as well as trading drugs. He had been jailed for seven years in 2019 for raping and robbing a 72-year-old American woman in her home in the Algarve.

In April last year, he was formally identified by Portuguese police as an official suspect in Madeleine's disappearance.

But last month, a court in the German city of Braunschweig threw out unrelated rape and sexual offences against Brueckner. His lawyer Friedrich Fuelscher said the decision meant legal authorities there had no jurisdiction over the McCann case.

Brueckner is currently in prison for the unrelated rape of a 72-year-old woman in Praia da Luz - the same resort Maddie went missing from. He has not been charged with any crime relating to her.

The evidence will probably be very scant as wild animals will normally eat the person and scatter their bones.

If they can get a bone or a tooth it will be enough.

One would think this case would have been closed some time ago. It’s a terrible tragedy for the family, but their lives have gone on. The frequent ‘click-bait’ articles of press probably make it worse for her family.

If this guy was in the same place at the same time the girl went missing he probably did the crime. He sounds like a real piece of shit. I would be in favor of tying a thin rope around his testicles and hanging him on a tree until his testicles ripped completely off. After that happened they should fill his wound with alcohol and salt. They can leave him there to die a slow painful death.
