'New Madeleine McCann evidence' as grim finds in Christian Breuckner lair probed
Grim evidence at the paedophile's lair led to the suspect being investigated over Madeleine's disappearance. Horror discoveries in Christian Breuckner 's home sparked the suspect being investigated over the disappearance of Madeleine McCann. Grim evidence at the paedophile's lair included images of children in swimming costumes, toddler toys, and sickening child kidnapping stories written by Breuckner, where he describes using chemical ether to abduct a mum and her child. A document also put the suspect at the location of a search for Madeleine McCann, where he allegedly said "she did not scream" as he discussed the British toddler with an associate. He also reveals a harrowing kidnapping story, including: "A very small girl enters the room. She's definitely not older than five." According to a new documentary made by The Sun, a hard drive was found consisting of images and a laptop key, which may have prompted investigators to link the suspect to Madeleine's disappearance. The documentary also revealed Brueckner also wanted to "capture something small and use it for days." The documentary also revealed how Brueckner refused to answer police questions and failed to give an alibi. Brueckner has not been formally charged over Madeleine's disappearance or her murder. Elsewhere, a newly uncovered letter from Brueckner is said to mock German police in their attempts to link him to the disappearance of Madeleine. In the handwritten note, seen by German newspaper Bild, he reportedly writes: 'Are there any traces of her in my vehicle? Any other traces of her in my possession? Photos? Is there a body? No, no, no.' It also featured an interview with Irish holiday rep Hazel Behan, 41, who Brueckner was cleared of having raped in 2005 during a trial in Germany last year. The documentary uncovered details that outlines investigators' fears that Brueckner could end up taking what he knows with him to the grave without any closure being given. The most recent search for any clues related to the search for Madeleine McCann l asted three days in Praia da Luz, last week. It happened close to where Brueckner is known to have camped.
