Has her kidnapper’s “little paradise” turned into hell for the most famous missing child?

The Brunswick, Germany prosecutor’s office said today that “evidence” was discovered during investigations in Portugal into the investigation into the disappearance of baby Madeleine McCann in 2007, but that it may not be relevant to the case.

At the end of May, Portuguese police carried out a three-day search near the water dam in Silves, a community in the Algarve tourist region (southern Portugal) at the request of the German authorities. A number of items were found as part of this process. They will be analyzed in the coming days and weeks, the German public prosecutor’s office said in a statement, adding that it was “still too early” to say whether they were linked to the case.

The attorney general’s office warned that “the investigation into the 46-year-old suspect in Brunswick is likely to continue for some time.”

The man, who is serving a prison sentence in Germany in 2005 for the rape of a 72-year-old American woman in Portugal, was identified in 2020 by German investigators as Christian Bricknera pedophile who lived in the Algarve for years.

According to Portuguese media, the researchers collected soil samples during the investigations and collected several pieces of tissue that they found there.

According to the local press, the police were always looking for a pink blanket or pajamas that Maddie was wearing on the night of her disappearance.

The area around the Arandi Dam, which is about 50 kilometers from the place where Mandy disappeared, was already explored in 2008, including by divers, who found nothing but animal remains.

According to local media, the German suspect went there often and described the place as his “little paradise”.

Shortly before celebrating her fourth birthday, it was Madeline McCann She disappeared on May 3, 2007 from her room in the hotel complex in Praia da Luz, a small resort in the Algarve where she was vacationing with her family, while her parents were having dinner with friends at a nearby restaurant.

The little Brit’s disappearance led to a major international campaign by Kate and Gerry McCann to find her and remains one of the biggest forensic mysteries of recent years.
