A new documentary looks into the disappearance of British toddler Madeleine McCann and offers a shocking insight into a possible suspect.
So, it’s been 18 years since little Madeleine McCann vanished
She was only three, on vacation with her family at this holiday apartment place in Praia da Luz, Portugal, back in 2007.

But that turned into a massive search across Europe. To this day, the cops haven’t really been able to figure out exactly what happened.
A new documentary by Channel 4 brought in fresh allegations
There’s a new doc on Channel 4 called Madeleine McCann: Unseen Evidence, and it’s throwing out some new details. At some point, they were suggesting that one of the main suspects might’ve actually ‘confessed’ to the whole thing.
Christian Brueckner was a prime suspect in 2020
His lawyers still say he didn’t do anything, and the police haven’t really sat down and properly questioned him about the case. He also hasn’t been charged with anything connected to Madeleine’s disappearance.
Back in 2016, the police searched one of his places and they found something pretty disturbing
They found USBs and memory cards full of messed-up content, plus things like kids’ swimsuits and toys. There were also some images that were allegedly tied to child abuse.
But still, none of the evidence linked directly to Madeleine
Later on, German prosecutors came out and said, for the first time, they believed Madeleine wasn’t alive anymore.
Brueckner is already serving time for another crime
Then in 2019, DNA linked Brueckner to a totally different crime. He raped a woman in Praia da Luz back in 2005. He got seven years for that, and he’s still doing time for it now.
A German reporter pointed to a suspicious conversation
In the documentary, a German reporter, Kai Feldhaus, brings up this weird moment from a woman named Helga B. She always thought something was off with Brueckner when it came to the Madeleine case.
Helga B recalled a disturbing comment in 2008
Feldhaus said: “Helga B says that in 2008, so about a year after Madeleine had disappeared, he’s been at a music festival in Spain and that Christian B was also there.”
Christian B allegedly made a chilling remark
“They started to talk, according to Helga, about this Maddie situation, and Helga B claims to have said, ‘I’m kind of curious that a child can disappear just like that’, and according to Helga B, Christian B replied to that, ‘well, she didn’t scream’.”
The suspect left the festival immediately after
“Helga B then says he reacted to that in kind of surprised way and looked at him, and then, according to Helga B, Christian B noticed what he had just said.
“And then, according to Helga B, Christian B not only left the scene, but also left the music festival overnight, and Helga B up to today is convinced that that was the moment that the suspect confessed [to] the abduction of Madeleine McCann to him.”
