A hard drive discovered in the property of Christian Bruecknermain suspect in the disappearance of Madeleine McCann, contains disturbing images that have led German researchers to reinforce the hypothesis that the British girl, missing in 2007, is dead. This finding occurred during a record to the abandoned factory of the suspect in the town of Neuwegerslebenin 2016, where thousands of files related to child abuse and kidnapping fantasies were found.
The case of Madeleinewho was three years old when he disappeared from the Praia resort gives light, Portugalon May 3, 2007, he has remained in the international focus for more than 16 years. Christian Brueckner, A German citizen with criminal history related to sexual crimes, has been indicated as the main suspect by the authorities since 2020. Although the German prosecutor’s office claims to have “conclusive evidence”, so far there have been no formal charges against them. In fact, the prosecutor Hans Christian Wolters He affirmed in 2020 to the Australian program 60 minute: “We have forceful evidence that Madeleine McCann He is dead and that our suspect killed her. ”
The factory registration owned by Brueckner He not only revealed digital files, but also disturbing physical evidence. More than 8,000 digital files were discovered, stored in USB memories and buried memory cards next to the body of a dog, possibly owned by the suspect. Among these memories, the police found photographs that investigators believe they were taken in Portugal, which reinforces their conviction that Madeleine He would have been killed a short time after his disappearance. In addition, a laptop and a hidden hard drive contained explicit images that involved children and argued abuse fantasies.
Among other objects found in the factory, the authorities They found 75 children’s swimsuits, masks, toys, small bicycles, as well as three firearms and ammunition without license, and chemical substances possibly used to induce loss of consciousness, such as chloroform and ether.
The investigations have also given attention to the past movements of the suspect in the Portuguese region of the Algarve, where Madeleine He was last seen. A satellite navigation device tracked locations that Brueckner frequented, including areas close to the Arade dam, located about 56 kilometers from Praia da Luz. Found photographs show the man posing in that area, one of them standing out for the disturbing of its content: it appears naked with a hand drawn mask on their face.
In 2023, the Police carried out an exhaustive registry near this dam, extracting samples that were sent to Germany for analysis. However, conclusive results have not been reported that directly one finding with the disappearance of Madeleine McCann.
A relevant fact in this research comes from a Document held by the authorities that connects Brueckner with an alleged comment on the case. It is an insurance claim linked to an incident that occurred in March 2008 in the town of Órgiva, Spain, where man would have made an incriminatory statement during an event. Helge Buschingan informant who shared time with Brueckner at a festival of that time, assured the German newspaper Bild that during that occasion the suspect said: “Yes, he did not shout.” These words have been interpreted as a direct reference to Madeleine.
However, Brueckner has dismissed this testimony and other similar ones from prison, where he turns a seven -year sentence for a violation committed in the Algarve in 2005. In a letter published by the mail, the defendant described Busching’s statements as “unworthy comment”.

Meanwhile, the case continues to generate important economic investments. The Grange operation, the United Kingdom Metropolitan Police team in charge of investigating the disappearance of Madeleinehas received over the years about 13.5 million pounds sterling for this work. In its most recent budget allocation, the Ministry of Interior approved 108,000 additional pounds in April of this year, although this represents a 44% cut compared to the previous year. The amount destined has caused questions about the sustainability of efforts, considering the lack of definitive arrests or imputations.
Despite speculation, the parents of Madeleine, Kate and Gerry McCannThey continue looking for answers. In a letter sent by prosecutor Wolters, they were informed about the evidence collected by the German police that supposedly confirm the death of the girl, although the precise details have not been shared by the authorities.
Keeping a low media profile, the McCann They observed last month two significant dates in the calendar: the 18th anniversary of the disappearance of Madeleine and his 22nd birthday. Although there is still no closure for the case, both the British and German authorities ensure that the investigations remain active.
