New Madeleine McCann documentary uncovers chilling evidence linked to suspect Christian Brueckner
A chilling new documentary has unearthed disturbing evidence linked to Madeleine McCann suspect Christian Brueckner — including children's items, a damning hard drive, and a story describing a girl 'not older than five.' A new documentary has revealed disturbing new evidence connected to Christian Brueckner — the chief suspect in the disappearance of Madeleine McCann. 'Madeleine McCann: Inside the Secret Evidence' presents a series of allegations and circumstantial findings said to point toward Brueckner's possible involvement in the 2007 disappearance of the toddler in Praia da Luz, Portugal. Among the discoveries were children's swimming costumes and toddler toys reportedly found at the 48-year-old's property. The documentary also highlights the presence of guns, a mask, and unsettling fictional stories where Brueckner allegedly describes using chemical ether to abduct a mother and her child. One document reportedly places Brueckner at the location of a previous search for Madeleine, during which he allegedly remarked that 'she did not scream' while discussing the missing child with an associate. In one disturbing passage, Brueckner is said to have written: "A very small girl enters the room. She's definitely not older than five. "Blonde, long hair tied in pigtails bounces cheekily back and forth as she comes towards me. I feel like I'm in paradise right now." The film also uncovers an 80GB hard drive said to contain incriminating material, including a laptop key. The existence of this hard drive is believed to have been a turning point in prompting police to relaunch parts of the investigation, reports the Mirror. Location data from the drive allegedly places Brueckner near the Arade Dam in Portugal — a site previously searched by authorities. Brueckner, a convicted paedophile, has long denied any involvement in Madeleine's disappearance. However, the new documentary adds further weight to concerns about his past. One former neighbour, who lived in the same Portuguese town where Madeleine vanished, described Brueckner as volatile and aggressive. Speaking to The Independent, the neighbour said: "If I was riding past and he'd be standing outside, we'd say hello, you know, how are you." She added: "Nothing more. Then we found out he was a really nasty piece of work." Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community! Get the latest news sent straight to your messages by joining our WhatsApp community today.

German police named Brueckner as a prime suspect in the case in 2020, but no charges have been filed in connection to Madeleine's disappearance. German and Portuguese police and firefighters carried out a three-day search of an area near Praia da Luz last week in the latest efforts to find out what happened to the missing child. Brueckner is due to be freed from a German jail in September after completing his sentence for the rape of a 72-year-old US woman in Praia da Luz, Portugal in 2005. Hazel Behan, 41, from Ireland, who alleges she was raped at knifepoint by Brueckner said last week she fears he will seek her out following his release from prison. Brueckner was acquitted by a German court in relation to the charge of violent rape of Ms Behan at her apartment in Praia da Rocha in Portugal's Algarve. She said: 'His sentence may be ending but mine never did. I have lived with fear every day for 21 years. 'Fear that I'll see him. Fear that he'll find out where I live and hunt me down. I also have fear that he'll do to someone else what he did to me. 'I've called him out in a public forum and I have genuine concern he could confront me. 'I wouldn't put anything past a person like him. 'If he is released, I will worry for every woman and child who, like me, believes the justice system is protecting them. 'A leopard doesn't change his spots.'

New Maddie evidence found in prime suspect's lair - from toys to 80GB hard drive
Christian Brueckner was revealed to be the chief suspect in the case of Madeleine McCann's disappearance with German police examining evidence from his property An explosive new Madeleine McCann documentary has revealed new bombshell evidence that may prove that Christian Brueckner is the prime suspect in the case. The new film hones in on circumstantial evidence found in his lair that points directly to why German national Brueckner is the prime suspect in the case that has gripped the world since Madeleine vanished in 2007. Clues have been few and far between since little Madeleine disappeared during a family holiday to the Algarve some 18 years ago. The investigation uncovers the disturbing finds at Brueckner's abandoned factory as well as his sickening obsession with young children. 'Madeleine McCann: Inside the Secret Evidence' digs into circumstantial evidence, including images of children's swimming costume and toddler toys that were found at his property. The Sun's documentary also claims police found a mask, guns as well as sickening child kidnap stories written by Brueckner. "A very small girl enters the room," he said. "She's definitely not older than five. Blonde, long hair tied in pigtails bounces cheekily back and forth as she comes towards me. I feel like I'm in paradise right now." In one harrowing tale reportedly penned by Brueckner described using chemical ether on a mum and toddler outside a preschool. The documentary also revealed the existence of an 80gb hard drive that could have played a key role in persuading investigators to go after Brueckner. The hard drive also put Brueckner at the heart of the search location in Arades Dam, in Portugal. The documentary also revealed Brueckner also wanted to "capture something small and use it for days." He also threatened it would not matter if "evidence is destroyed afterwards" before adding: "I'll make a lot of Police files show the biggest leap forward in the understanding of the case since German police announced in 2020 that Brueckner was the chief suspect in the Madeleine McCann case. The documentary also revealed how Brueckner refused to answer police questions and fail to give an alibi. Brueckner has not been formally charged over Madeleine's disappearance or her murder. 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 lasted three days in Praia da Luz, last week. It happened close to where Brueckner is known to have had camped. German investigators were aided by Portuguese police and were seen using diggers and radar to search into the ground. Despite this "noting of consequence" was discovered.

Christian Brueckner refuses to answer police questions or provide an alibi, but has never been formally charged over the disappearance of murder of Madeleine McCann.

The most recent search for evidence was a three-day dig last week in an area of scrubland near Praia da Luz where Brueckner was known to have wild camped. German and Portuguese police used JCB-type machines and ground-penetrating radar, but found "nothing of consequence" - dashing hopes of pinning Brueckner with DNA evidence.
