“The 43-year-old was today named as Christian Brueckner - a German paedophile and drug trafficker jailed last year for raping a 72-year-old American tourist in Praia da Luz shortly before Maddie was snatched from her bed 13 years ago. His alleged admission to a friend about Maddie's abduction came over a drink on the tenth anniversary of her disappearance when her face appeared on the German pub's TV screen. He then showed his friend a video of him raping a woman, which led to the associate tipping off police. The 43-year-old drifter with a long history of sex crimes against women and children was living in Praia da Luz when Maddie vanished from an apartment 13 years ago as her parents Gerry and Kate were out for dinner at a nearby tapas restaurant. The convicted child sex offender spent 12 years in the Algarve resort dealing drugs, burgling holiday homes and robbing tourists and was jailed last year for the rape of a 72-year-old American in same resort just 18 months before the British three-year-old vanished on May 3, 2007. In December 2019 he was convicted in Germany for the attack on the US-born pensioner in September 2005. He planned the rape having broken into the victim's house wearing a mask and armed with a rope to tie her to a wooden beam. She was blindfolded, gagged and whipped with a piece of metal before being raped and robbed - but hairs left at the scene later linked him to the crime. She told the police: 'He enjoyed torturing me'. The sex attack on the 72-year-old woman could be significant because the convicted paedophile had broken into her Praia da Luz holiday home to loot it - police have long believed Maddie may have been snatched during a burglary.”

can anyone remember if they have any DNA from the crime scene?
My heart breaks for Maddie, and her family.
He seems very similar to Joseph Duncan although his many victims were both little boys, and girls. This one seems to strike the most defenseless whether elderly or children of such a young tender age.
I hope the police can tie him to others crimes beyond what they already know. I hope LE throughly retraces his history then compare it to all unsolved cases whether it's rapes or rapes, and murders.
JEDs MO was to extremely torture his victims before killing them. Shasta is so lucky to be alive.
This pedophile is also another sadist like JD. Imo they enjoy the immense torture of innocent, and defenseless victims as much as having total power and control over them.
I have always felt this case would be solved one day. I felt all along this was the evil deeds of another pedophile so I wasnt surprised when they announced they have a suspect. I just wish it had happened sooner, but at least it finally happened. It shows us to never lose hope even in years or decades old unsolved cases.
Some pedophiles brag to others about what they have done, and video it happening like this deviant, and JED along with other serial pedophiles.
Imo, pedophiles are constantly stalking, and areas looking for their next prey. I believe this hideous monster did the same when he came in to kidnap Maddie.
As we know all too well it doesnt take but seconds or a very few minutes for them to kidnap their victims. Often they do so in broad daylight with most not even being detected by anyone.
Sadly, I've also felt Maddie was most likely murdered shortly after she was kidnapped, and raped.
It's so heartbreaking to even think about how she must have suffered in such unbelivable pain once he had her in his evil sadistic grip.
It reminds me of little Samantha Runion when her DNA was found in the kidnaper/rapist/ murderer's vehicle. It was Samantha's tears.
These kind of kidnappers, rapists, and murderers are proof that pure diabolical evil exists, and they strike without warning.
