The main suspect in Madeleine McCann's disappearance has reportedly sent police a letter claiming “crucial questions will never be answered”.
Christian Brueckner, serving a sentence for the rape of a 72-year-old woman in Praia da Luz in 2005, allegedly sent a letter to officers saying it was impossible to answer questions that could link him to the case of a three-year-old British girl who went missing from the same resort 18 years earlier.
In a note seen and translated by The Sun newspaper, Bruckner reportedly wrote: “These are important questions, crucial questions, that will never be answered.
“Was I or my vehicle clearly visible in the vicinity of the crime scene on the night of the incident?
“Is there DNA evidence at the crime scene? Is there the victim's DNA in my car?
“Do I have any other traces/carriers of the victim's DNA? Photos?
“And don't forget, is there a body/corpse? No, no, no.”
It is unclear when this letter was written.
From 2000 to 2017, Bruckner lived in the Praia de Luz area and took numerous photographs and videos of himself near the reservoir.
It comes after German and Portuguese investigators on Thursday completed a three-day search of a 120-acre property near Lagos, Portugal, in an attempt to find evidence linking Brueckner.
During the search operation organised by German authorities, rescue services spent three days combing through thickets and abandoned buildings.
Bruckner is due to be released from prison in September unless he faces any new charges.
Last October, a German court acquitted him of unrelated sex crimes allegedly committed in Portugal between 2000 and 2017.
