Christian Brückner was formally named as a suspect last week, years after emerging as a person of interest in Madeleine McCann’s disappearance. Now, investigators say there is undeniable new evidence that he killed the British toddler.
Prosecutors in Germany confiscated a camper Brückner was living in and various media reports say fibers that may be consistent with the pink pajamas McCann wore the night she vanished have been found. Wolters neither confirmed nor denied the report to the Portuguese news station.
“Is it true that you have found something of Madeleine McCann in Christian Brückner’s van?” the presenter asked. “I’m not going to comment on the details of the investigation,” he replied. The presenter then asked: “But you can’t deny it?” to which Wolters answered, “I don’t want to deny it.”Brückner previously said he couldn’t be the suspect because he was having sex when McCann disappeared. While he said he cannot remember the woman’s name, he did say through his lawyers that she was barred from leaving Portugal over illegal pepper spray she had in her hand luggage. Wolter says he may have found the records for that woman.
The McCanns are instead preparing to celebrate what would be their daughter’s 19th birthday by putting a gift in her room, which has not been changed since she disappeared. They said through a spokesman they still hold hope their daughter is alive.
