Madeleine McCann Suspect Reveals How Close He Was the Night She Vanished
German detectives say Christian Brueckner was near the McCanns’ holiday flat when Madeleine vanished, and he remains their chief suspect without charge.
- Christian Brueckner, the prime suspect in Madeleine McCann's 2007 disappearance, admitted he was 150 yards from the resort where she was staying when she vanished in Portugal's Algarve.
- Brueckner claimed he was in the Algarve selling drugs on the night she disappeared and fled police checkpoints because he feared being caught with his stash.
- While German detectives alleged in 2020 they have compelling evidence linking him to the McCanns' holiday flat, Brueckner has consistently denied any involvement in the toddler's fate.
- The suspect stated police "want to frame me for the Maddie thing," while reports indicate he is planning to release a memoir in German and English.
- Senior UK officers are pushing to secure charges before the 20th anniversary of the disappearance next year, though German prosecutors have stated they lack sufficient evidence to charge him.
