Mystery woman pays Madeleine McCann suspect Christian Brueckner's £1,200 fines – confirming date monster will be freed
Investigators are working against the clock to try and keep Brueckner in prison Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A MYSTERY woman has paid Madeleine McCann suspect Christian Brueckner's £1,200 of outstanding fines. The monster's release date from prison is now confirmed for September 17 after prosecutors had hoped to keep him behind bars.

The unpaid money had been hoped to keep Brueckner behind bars until the end of January - giving investigators crucial time to bring charges over the missing British toddler. Watch The Sun's exclusive documentary on the Maddie case here But an anonymous donor has now paid the fine - allowing Brueckner to walk free when he was due to. Brueckner's own lawyers revealed the mystery woman's help in German newspaper Bild but it remains unclear who she is. Tuesday marks exactly three months until the man suspected of kidnapping and killing the three-year-old Brit will walk free. Brueckner's lawyers claim the fiend plans to live on German millionaire playboy island of Sylt, where Brueckner previously dealt drugs. But prosecutors fear he has plans to leave Germany. If he travels to a non-extradition country it could be impossible to bring him back for a court case. Brueckner is also reported to have had extensive cosmetic surgery in the past to alter his appearance raising the possibility her could do it again. Madeleine McCann: the secret evidence on prime suspect Christian B | Sun Documentary He has a long history of evading court sentences and police. The mystery payment comes after a gun was reportedly found during the latest search near Bruckner's former ramshackle cottage in the Praia da Luz area. The 48-year-old German sex offender is said to have carried a gun with him during his time living in the Algarve. The three-day search had widely been labelled a flop after police appeared to leave the site next to Praia da Luz empty-handed last week. 5 Portuguese police spent three days searching for clues around Madeleine last week Credit: AFP 5 Police have been searching various sites in and around the resort of Pria du Luz Credit: Dan Charity As eagle-eyed police did find tiny fragments, which they are speculating could have links to Madeleine after prime suspect Brueckner wild camped at the site, the Berlin Morning Post reported. The samples were sent to Germany for testing amid hopes they could finally reveal the forensic link cops are missing on the case. Cops are understood to have found clothes and animal bones during the extensive search through an area known as Brueckner's "rat run". Without evidence pinning Madeleine's disappearance to the convicted German rapist, prosecutors risk not being able to get the arrest warrant they need to keep Brueckner behind bars. The search took place around an area of scrubland which is located close to where the British toddler was staying with her parents back in 2007. It was reported that animal bones and adult clothing were the only things unearthed - but no traces could be linked to Madeleine. This quickly dashed hopes of pinning Brueckner with fresh DNA evidence until the latest developments today. It comes as The Sun uncovered new Maddie evidence in a bombshell documentary. The world exclusive doc lifts the lid on gripping new information and reveals why Brueckner is the prime suspect. Our compelling investigation unveils the horrors found at his abandoned factory lair - and his obsession with small children.

Vigil held in memory of teenager found dead after going missing weeks before
Cole Cooper, 19, was last seen by his family on May 2 or 3, and was reported missing by them on May 9. He was seen on CCTV Sunday May 4 in Longcroft, Falkirk, at around 6am, and was also reported to have been seen by a witness on May 7, asking for a lift. On June 6, his body was found in a wooded area of Banknock, Falkirk, with police treating his death as 'unexplained'. A vigil was held in the grounds of Glenskirlie Hotel in Banknock on Sunday evening, where Mr Cooper was remembered by hundreds of people. Footage of the event was shared on a Facebook page which had been set up to trace Mr Cooper. His mother, Wendy Stewart, held up a flare at the memorial and comforted two young children, while older sibling Connor Cooper gave a tearful speech, and thanked people in the community who had helped with the search. Older brother Mr Cooper said: 'He is one of the most loving and caring boys there was.' He added: 'As a family we will continue to demand for answers and get justice for you.' Mr Cooper's aunt, Aimee Tennie, also gave a speech and said her nephew was 'the most handsome, caring, loving boy.' She said: 'This little boy wanted nothing more than to have a family of his own and to have his business thrive. 'We are absolutely broken as a family. It doesn't feel real. We don't want to say goodbye to you.' A huge search was launched involving air and marine units, and police scoured more than 2,000 hours of CCTV footage. Mr Cooper was last seen by family on either May 2 or 3 and he appeared on CCTV at about 6am on May 4 in Longcroft, where he tried but failed to access his father's home. He was last seen at about 8.45pm on May 7 on the A803 near Cumbernauld Road in Longcroft, when he asked a school friend for a lift, which he was not given. Police said that establishing Mr Cooper's movements between Sunday May 4 and Wednesday May 7 is a priority for officers. On Friday, Police Scotland said that Mr Cooper's body had been formally identified. Chief Inspector Alex Hatrick said: 'My thoughts are with Cole's family and friends at this time and officers will continue to offer them support. 'As our inquiries progress, we are ensuring the family is kept informed with all aspects of the investigation. 'A dedicated team of detectives is working to piece together Cole's movements leading up to his death. 'Again, I would urge people to think back and please contact police with any information, no matter how small it might seem.' Anyone with information should contact police on 101, quoting incident number 828 of Friday May 9.
