'Was I or my vehicle clearly seen near the crime scene on the night of the crime?
'Is there DNA evidence of me at the crime scene? Are there DNA traces of the injured party in my vehicle?
'Are there other traces/DNA carriers of the injured party in my possession? Photos?"

He wrote: 'You know, of course, that in Germany you don't have to prove your innocence as a suspect, but that the public prosecutor's office has to prove that you are clearly guilty.
'Even the slightest doubt leads to an acquittal, if there is a court hearing at all.'
Brueckner even claims the case against him is built on 'purchased witnesses' and reveals his awareness of his global notoriety.

He wrote: 'Right from the start they plotted a miscarriage of justice to make me vanish into thin air. And now half the world knows why.'
And he adds: 'I am not exaggerating when I say that 80 per cent of what I have heard from the reports is not true.
'A large proportion of these lies are clearly being spread by the investigating authorities. My words are directed at those who are taking this seriously and are not laughing about it.
'Those who want to understand how brutal the German justice system is in its attempts to hammer through its own law, even if nothing is true.'

The disturbing evidence demonstrated Brueckner's obsession with young kids.
We revealed he wrote horrifying fantasies about abducting and abusing a blonde toddler — and how this would leave him 'in paradise'.
He also boasted in online forums about his desire to 'capture something small and use it for days'.
Brueckner remains in prison in Germany where he is serving a seven year term for rape.

The latest search to find DNA or forensic links on the case appeared to have ended without success on Thursday.

Police were seen taking fibres by hand while a hole was dug at the site of an apparent tent from around the time of Madeleine's disappearance.
However, it was unclear whether the search had found anything with enough potential value to the case to be sent back to Germany for testing.
Brueckner had already moved out of his cottage in Praia da Luz when three-year-old Madeleine, from Rothley, Leics, arrived with parents Gerry and Kate and her two-year-old twin siblings.
He was living in his car, or wild camping in areas including this week's search site.

Brueckner's letters
"It is the important questions, the decisive questions that can never be answered.

'Those who want to understand how brutal the German justice system is in its attempts to hammer through its own law, even if nothing is true.'
The seeming failure of longshot searches for any traces of Madeleine this week is the latest in a string of blows for the case.
German authorities who maintain Madeleine is dead are racing to find a way to keep highly dangerous Brueckner behind bars after he was cleared of rape claims last year.
He told this week he plans to 'hide' when he is released, as soon as September 17, taking hopes for the Madeleine case with him.
The drifter was jailed in 2019, convicted of the 2005 rape of an American pensioner just streets from the Ocean Club, where the McCanns stayed in Praia da Luz.

The Sun investigation aired on Channel 4 revealed the existence of computer hard drives which were vital in to persuading investigators of Madeleine's death.
Our findings placed Breuckner at key Madeleine search location the Arades Dam, in Portugal.
And a document puts him at the location — where he allegedly said 'she did not scream' as he discussed her with an associate.
In the online message where he brags to another sicko that he really wanted to 'capture something small' he adds it would not matter 'if the evidence is destroyed afterwards'.

German investigators last night remained hopeful British police might rejoin the investigation as an active inquiry.
