‘Shocking evidence’ has been discovered in relation to the disappearance of Madeleine McCann which could help take the case to court after almost 15 years.
Madeleine went missing on May 3 2007 while she and her family were on holidays in Portugal at a resort in Praia da Luz, in the Algarve region.
German police are adamant that suspect Christian Brueckner ‘kidnapped and murdered’ the three-year-old in a case that has gripped the world for over a decade.
Investigators reportedly sent an undercover investigation into the prison, where Brueckner is serving time, to try and get a confession out of him.
The convicted sex offender allegedly opened up to a friend about the kidnapping of Madeleine which occurred while he was spending time with a friend in Portugal.
Despite this report there still isn’t enough evidence to charge Brueckner with the disappearance of the toddler. However, a team working on a new documentary on the kidnapping have handed new evidence they discovered to investigators which may help the case.
The documentary team say they have proof Brueckner was near the Praia da Luz resort when Madeleine went missing while her parents Kate and Gerry ate at a tapas restaurant with friends.
‘Many new clues and indications’ in relation to the case have been discovered according to the crew from TV channel Sat.1.
Editor-in-chief Juliane Ebling said of the case: ‘The sad story of Madeleine McCann is a story that has many German facets. The case is being tried at the Regional Court of Braunschweig, as the German Christian B. is the main suspect.
‘In his environment there are many German women and men who can describe individual details surrounding the crime. Jutta Rabe has researched shocking material in Germany, Portugal and England over the past months, which heavily incriminates Christian B.’
There is no airdate for the documentary which is set to air on German TV. Christian Brueckner was identified as the prime suspect in the case and is currently serving a three year sentence for the rape of a 72-year-old American woman in the Algarve in 2005.
Brueckner is also being investigated for the rape of Irish woman Hazel Behan in Praia da Rocha on the Algarve in 2004, as well as two other sexual assault investigations.
