Suspicious Maddie McCann case linked to sex offense near Praia da Luz | Abroad

The German prosecutor reported on Friday that another investigation into Christian Brückner is ongoing, but gave no further details. According to German media, the 43-year-old suspect would have jerked off in April 2007 just in front of a 10-year-old girl from Germany. The incident happened about 6 miles from Praia da Luz, where McCann disappeared in early May of the same year.

Brückner is a sex offender who is detained in Germany for multiple crimes and suspicions. He lived intermittently in the Portuguese Algarve from 1995 to 2007 and was convicted of, among other things, a rape in 2005 in Praia da Luz.

The German Public Prosecution Service suspects Brückner of murdering Maddie. In June, the OM announced that he is in the picture as a suspect.
