The main suspect in the disappearance of Madeleine McCann has reportedly sent a letter to police claiming “key questions will never be answered”.
Christian Brueckner, who is jailed for the rape of a 72-year-old woman in Praia da Luz in 2005, allegedly sent a letter to officers saying questions that might point to his possible involvement in the disappearance of a three-year-old British girl who went missing from the same resort 18 years earlier could not be answered.
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 visible near the crime scene that night?
“Is there DNA at the crime scene? Is 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? All the answers are no, no, no.”
It is unclear when exactly this letter was written.
From 2000 to 2017, Bruckner was in the Praia de Luz area, where he took several 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 plot of land near Lagos, Portugal, in an attempt to find evidence linking Brueckner.
In a search initiated by German authorities, rescue teams worked for three days, combing through bushes and abandoned buildings.
Brueckner is due to be released in September unless new charges are brought against him.
Last October, a German court acquitted him of unrelated sex crimes allegedly committed in Portugal between 2000 and 2017.
