In the course of the search, a “relevant clue” was found. However, it is still unclear whether this can substantiate the suspicion against Christian Brückner.

The main suspect spoke to a former friend about the missing girl.
The German Christian Brückner, who was involved in the case of Disappearance of Madeleine McCann is considered the main suspect, expressed himself in a letter to a British journalist on the case of the girl who had been missing since May 2007. The handwritten letter gives an insight into the Thoughts of the convicted rapist.
Brückner appears desperate as he tries to convince authorities and the public that he had nothing to do with Maddie McCann’s kidnapping. But at one point, a sentence almost seems like a confession: “She didn’t scream,” writes the German.
Key witness said a sentence to the police – then it was determined
In one passage, Brückner explains to the journalist how he was targeted by the German Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA). He mentions the alleged conversation with a key witness in the case: Helge Busching. The petty criminal and Brückner are said to have seen each other in Spain in spring 2008. The two have not lived in Portugal for a long time.
Busching said there were too many problems in Portugal because of the girl who had disappeared, and that the police were out and about too much. At this point, Brückner is said to have said: “Yes, she didn’t scream.” It is precisely this sentence that Busching is said to have mentioned to the police a little later. According to Brückner, his former buddy lied to get out of a prison sentence in Greece early. Busching, in turn, denies this: He states that he has served out the entire prison sentence imposed on him for human trafficking.
Authorities apparently took Busching seriously
Brückner’s lawyer Friedrich Fülscher says to the “Bild” newspaper: “First of all, it must be determined whether such a conversation took place at all. Other witnesses have given different information, namely that such a conversation never took place.”
However, the investigators seem to take Busching seriously: The excavations that the police are currently conducting on the edge of the Arade reservoir in Portugal were initiated by a tip from an informant. He is said to have confirmed to the authorities the statements of the two key witnesses, Manfred Seyferth and Helge Busching, that they broke into the house of the main suspect Christian Brückner when he was in prison.
During the said burglary, they stole a gun and a video camera, the latter containing footage of Brückner’s other sex crimes. However, the key witnesses then threw both into the reservoir.
