Hard drive found at suspect’s factory ‘contains evidence Madeleine McCann is dead’

  • On May 3, 2007, Madeleine McCann vanished from the family’s rental accommodation while on vacation in the town of Praia da Luz, located in southern Portugal, triggering an extensive police investigation.
  • Years later, German prosecutors identified suspect Christian Brueckner, a convicted paedophile with links to Praia da Luz, as the prime suspect in Madeleine's abduction and possible death.
  • Investigators uncovered disturbing evidence in Brueckner's abandoned factory in Germany, including child abuse images, children's clothes, weapons, chemicals, and USB sticks triggering a large search.
  • Brueckner allegedly confessed involvement, telling a friend Madeleine 'did not scream,' and satnav data placed him nearby her disappearance; however, he denies involvement and was acquitted of separate rape charges.
  • Prosecutors continue seeking convictions to keep Brueckner imprisoned and hope this leads to formal Madeleine McCann charges, though definitive proof of her fate remains unknown.
