Investigation The lawyer of the main suspect in the disappearance of Madeleine McCann sees his accusation "overestimated"
Disappearance German police are convinced that Madeleine McCann was murdered in Portugal
Hans-Christian Wolters
, investigator in charge of the case against the German pedophile and rapist,
Christian Brueckner
, the main suspect in the disappearance of
Madeleine McCan
, has reported that they have found "new facts and new evidence" of the case." "They are not forensic evidence but evidence and, thanks to our evidence, we are sure that he is the murderer of
Madeleine McCann
.
We are sure that he killed
Madeleine
," he said ,
according to the British newspaper
The Sun.
The revelation came after he was pressed on television over rumors in recent days that evidence was recovered from
Christian Brueckner
's motorcade .
It was speculated that it was fibers from the pajamas of the little girl who disappeared now 15 years ago.
Wolters
was interviewed by Portuguese television journalist Sandra Felgueiras for the 15th anniversary of
Madeleine McCann
's disappearance .
When she disappeared in
Praia da Luz
, the three-year-old girl was wearing pink Winnie the Pooh print pajamas.
No trace has ever been found.
But rumors recently surfaced that something had been found in the yellow and white VW that
Christian Brueckner
was driving at the time.
Felgueiras
asked
Walters
if it was true that they found something belonging to Madeleine in
Christian Brueckner
's caravan .
Wolters
responded with "I cannot comment on details of the investigation."
Felgueiras insisted: "But you can't deny it, right?"
And that's when
Wolters
responded,
"I don't want to deny it
," though he later qualified his statement, adding that he couldn't say "because the suspect hasn't been reported yet."
Under German law, the details of a police investigation cannot be made public until the suspect and his legal team receive full details of the case against him.
Christian Brueckner
, 45, has always denied any involvement in Madeleine's kidnapping.
This week he claimed that he was miles from where
Madeleine McCann
was taken and instead he was having sex in his truck with a woman willing to back up her alibi.
However, any DNA or forensic traces linking
Christian Brueckner
to
Madeleine
will surely hasten police efforts to finally charge him with the kidnapping and murder of him.
