Christian Brueckner, the so-called
“prime suspect” in the Madeleine McCann mystery, is expected to be released
from prison in Germany this week after serving a seven-year sentence for the
rape of a woman in Portugal.
Many mainstream newspapers and TV
channels, particularly in the UK, have continued to closely associate Brueckner
with the disappearance of three-year-old Madeleine while she was on holiday
with her family in the Algarve resort of Praia da Luz in May 2007.
Brueckner, now 48 years old, has
always denied any involvement in Madeleine’s disappearance. Bernt Stellander, a
Norwegian private detective, wrote a book, The Sudden Impulse,
based on his seven-year on-site investigation, in which he concluded that Brueckner
had nothing to do with Madeleine’s disappearance. In this, the most detailed
document ever published on the subject, Stellander suggests that Brueckner’s
opponents repeatedly produced hearsay allegations against him.
Authorities in Germany have suspected
Brueckner of involvement in the McCann case, but “sadly for the Germans, the
crime they were investigating never happened,” says Stellander. He has also
told us: “It amazes me that after having had CB’s memory sticks in their
possession for nine years, the German prosecutor still let the media speculate
that there is something on them in relation to Madeleine. If there was, they
would have charged him almost a decade ago.”
Stellander added: “It is
fascinating to watch the media assist the German prosecution with their
desperate attempt to frame this almost perfect patsy. The only problem they have,
besides that he’s innocent, is that he is alive.”
“CB was seeing his lover every night that
week, and with a breakdown of driving time from Luz it is very likely that he
has what could be an alibi for the reported Thursday evening
disappearance."
“The truth is sometimes too hard to accept, so people would rather see a
perfect patsy take the fall, than to face their own poor judgement..
“As Mark Twain wrote: ‘it's easier to fool people, than to convince them they have been
fooled.'"
