Creepy elements allegedly identified in Christian Bruckner’s abandoned hideout in Germany are leading researchers closer to the conclusion that the Madeleine McCan He is dead.
Madeleine McCan was 3 when she disappeared from the Praia Da Luz tourist resort in Portugal on May 3, 2007. Christian Bruckner, a German pedophile, has been considered a key suspect in the case for years.
According to a report in The Sun newspaper, documents, photos, swimwear and games found in a former factorywhich he had bought in 2008 – a year after the disappearance of Madeleine.
Among the findings includes one hard drive with pictureswho – though allegedly kept a secret by police – reinforces the researchers’ firm belief that little Madeleine was murdered.
In addition, a discovered one insurance document which confirms the filing informant, according to which Bruckner confessed to her murder in Spain in 2008.
The findings that were revealed in her research Sun which will be broadcast by Channel 4 in the evening, today, Wednesday (07.05.2025), shed light on Brickner’s obsession with the children and his very likely involvement in the case.
It is recalled that Bruckner had been rid of sexual attacks last year in the same area where Madeleine disappeared. However, in 2016, in a search at his factory in Noveggersleben, Central Germany, police found about 8,000 data, including photos and videos of suspicious criminal acts.
Hard drive, USB and baby swimwear
The tough disc seized at the time contained photos that were believed to have been taken in Portugal and allegedly convinced the investigators that Madeleine died shortly after her disappearance.
A laptop was also handed over to the authorities, and according to Sun, it is believed to contain critical information linking Bruckner to the case.
At this point the authorities found buried USB sticks, hard disks and card memory containing child abuse material, stories with child abduction and abuse fantasies, as well as conversations on Skype with other pedophiles. Among the files, police also identified photos from Portugal, which reinforce the view that Madeleine was killed shortly after her disappearance in May 2007, the Daily Mail reports.
During further investigations in the space, they were also found over 75 baby swimsuits, games, baby bikes and masks.
Three other illegal firearms, ammunition and suspect bottles, possibly chloroform or ether – chemicals that cause loss of senses were found.
Sun also said that a GPS device seized by police recorded Bruckner’s moves near the Arande Dam – about 55 kilometers from Pratia Da Luz – where Madeleine disappeared.
Police conducted investigations in the area of the dam in 2023, seizing material sent to the German authorities. Two members of Scotland Yard were involved in the investigations, according to a free information request.
It remains unknown whether one of the material found in Portugal two years before led to new data on Bruckner’s involvement.
However, an insurance document signed by Bruckner seems to be showing that he was at a festival in Orkiva, Spain in early 2008, where he allegedly told his friend that “Madeleine didn’t shout.”
The document states that it hit its caravan at a gas station in the area on March 20, 2008, while the festival was held from March 21st to 23rd.
This report comes from a letter that Bruckner himself wrote from prison after being convicted of rape, and was revealed in 2023 by the mail, in which he questioned the complaints of informant Helge Busing.
Busing had told the German authorities in 2017 that Bruckner had reported the “missing girl” at a festival in Spain in 2008, and then transferred information to the German Bild.
Despite the findings, the German authorities have not yet raised official charges against Bruckner for the disappearance of Madeleine.
He is currently serving a seven -year sentence for the rape of an elderly American in Algarve in 2006 – a year before Madelin’s disappearance – and is expected to be released later in 2025.
