Christian Brueckner ‘wrote letter listing decisive questions’ over Madeleine McCann case
- Christian Brueckner, the main suspect in the disappearance of Madeleine McCann, reportedly wrote a letter to officers listing unanswered questions that would implicate him in the case.
- Brueckner apparently questions whether he or his vehicle were seen near the crime scene, and if there is any DNA evidence linking him to the crime.
- Brueckner spent time in the Praia de Luz area between 2000 and 2017, and German and Portuguese investigators recently searched a 120-acre area near Lagos, Portugal, for evidence.
- Brueckner is currently in prison for raping a 72-year-old woman in 2005 and is due to be released in September if no further charges are brought.
- In October last year, Brueckner was cleared of unrelated sexual offences alleged to have taken place in Portugal between 2000 and 2017.
