, who would’ve turned 22 next week, is believed to have been taken from her family’s vacation apartment in Praia da Luz, Portugal, on May 3, 2007. Madeleine, who was just days shy of celebrating her 4th birthday at the time of her disappearance, had been left alone at the family’s vacation apartment with her twin 2-year-old siblings while their parents Kate and Gerry McCann dined at a nearby restaurant.

The McCanns were initially considered suspects in their daughter’s disappearance after forensic tests revealed traces of Madeleine’s blood in a car they rented 25 days after her disappearance. However, more than a decade later, police zeroed in on Brueckner and named him a primary suspect in the case.

******* authorities previously said they have evidence that connects Brueckner, a convicted *******, to McCann’s *******. Brueckner is currently serving a sentence for a ***** conviction.

Braunschweig Public Prosecutor’s Office prosecutor Hans Christian Wolters, who was leading the investigation into Brueckner, said during a 2020

interview that authorities “actually have findings that suggest that he is Madeleine McCann’s *********.” However, Wolters lamented that investigators had “insufficient evidence to convict” Brueckner of McCann’s kidnapping and *******. By 2022, ******* and Portuguese authorities announced they had an “official” suspect but did not clarify whether it was Brueckner.
