It’s still unclear what exactly happened to little Maddie McCann 13 years ago. The only certainty is that the British woman is dead. According to prosecutor Hans Christian Wolters, there is now “material evidence”. However, it does not mean what kind of evidence this is.
The Brunswick prosecutor has proof that the girl is dead in the case of Madeleine “Maddie” McCann, three years old, who disappeared in 2007. In an interview with the Portuguese television station RTP, when asked by the reporter if there is “material evidence” of Maddie’s death, prosecutor Hans Christian Wolters said “yes.” When she asks and wants to know what evidence is involved, Wolters says she can’t say anything else. Assuming there was a video of the dead girl, he replied, “I can neither confirm nor deny that.”
The suspect in the spectacular criminal case is the German Christian B., 43 years old. The prosecutor assumes that he murdered the girl. B. has multiple and substantial criminal records, including for sexual offenses against children. In the past, he used to stay in Portugal, where, according to German researchers, he broke into resorts and hotels. Maddie also disappeared from such facility.
Another possible victim of B. has denounced the British media, Wolters said. He is now being investigated on suspicion of the rape of a young Irish woman in the Algarve in 2004, he confirmed. It was also announced in early September that a separate prosecution was pending against B. on suspicion of sexual abuse of a child. In April 2007, a few weeks before little Maddie’s disappearance, the man from the Algarve is said to have masturbated in front of a ten-year-old girl from Germany.
Maddie disappeared from an apartment complex in Praia da Luz, Portugal, on May 3, 2007. The parents were eating at a nearby restaurant at the time. The inexplicable fate of the girl made headlines around the world. Initially, the parents were also under suspicion: Investigators assumed that an accident had occurred and that the body should be hidden.
The couple themselves left no stone unturned to draw attention to the disappearance of their daughter: private detectives, a visit to the Pope, the establishment of a foundation – all the levers were put into motion. Three months ago, the prosecutor declared then that it is necessary to assume “that the girl is dead.”
