Twisted child pornography found in lair of Maddie McCann suspect: Report

Article content

An explosive report is exposing the sickening evidence discovered in the lair of the suspected Madeleine McCann suspect, Christian Brueckner.

According to the U.K. Sun, German investigators recovered a treasure trove of children’s clothes and toys and a plethora of twisted child abuse porn. The evidence was discovered in an abandoned factory owned by the suspect.

Three-year-old British tot Maddie vanished from her bed in her parents’ holiday apartment in Praia da Luz, Lagos, Portugal, on the evening of May 3, 2007.

After years of dead ends and wild goose chases, German police arrested Brueckner in June 2020. The convicted child molester remains behind bars and is considered the only suspect.

Detectives told the U.K. Sun that the disturbing evidence clearly reveals the suspect’s obsession with young kids. In addition to the clothes and toys, police also recovered masks, chemicals and guns.

But the main prize was a hard drive filled with photos that investigators have continued to keep secret.

Those contents have convinced German investigators that the little girl is dead.

The new evidence was discovered by accident at Brueckner’s hideout, which he purchased in 2008. At the site, cops found the suspect’s dead dog. Underneath the canine was a wallet that contained six USB sticks and memory cards.

Investigators said the material on the sticks and cards was disturbing. Cops also recovered “stories” written by Brueckner that revealed his sick penchant for young children. One story describes drugging a mother and daughter outside a preschool before raping the little girl.

— Cops also discovered horrific Skype conversations between the suspect and other pedophiles. He mused that he wished to “capture something small and use it for days.”

— Recovered child abuse images were also linked to the suspect.

— One case contained photos of hundreds of young girls around the age of Maddie.

— Also recovered were more than 75 children’s swimsuits, toys and bicycles.

— Cops also discovered a bizarre nude selfie of Brueckner at a site 56 km from where Maddie disappeared.

Mere months after the search, Brueckner was convicted of child abuse. A former friend tipped off cops about the Maddie McCann link.

Brueckner remains behind bars in Germany for the rape of an elderly American woman near where Maddie disappeared.

The documentary, Maddie: The Unseen Evidence, aired Wednesday on the U.K.’s Channel 4.
