The Disappearance of Madeleine McCann - New Suspect #49 - a podcast by SMP

Could the investigation of a new German suspect in the Madeleine McCann kidnapping lead to solving this case and finding her? This week on Solvable Mysteries we discuss the newest developments on the German suspect, Christian Brückner, now being investigated for the kidnapping of Madeleine McCann,a 3 year old girl from Leicester, England who disappeared from her room in a Portugese resort in 2007.



Welcome to Solvable Mysteries Podcast, hosted by Juras Sim and co-hosted by Glenn Highcove.  During this episode we discuss the disturbing background and accusations surrounding German convict Christian Brückner, who has been imprisoned for sexual assault on senior citizens, as well as other related charges.  German and English authorities now suspect Christian Brückner's involvement in the disappearance of other young children over the past 26 years.  We review the reasons for this new scrutiny, and critically analyze the actions of the German, British, and Portugese authorities over the history of this case.  We also discuss the negligent and irresponsible actions of the Tapas Seven, and how their carelessness and seeming prioritization of drinking and eating restaurant food over the safety of their children led to this situation.  Especially maddening was that babysitting was available and recommended by the resort.  Finally, we ask whether the kidnapper in the McCann case potentially had inside help from someone who knew the children were being left unattended, such as a resort or restaurant worker. Our hope is that this new scrutiny on the suspect in Germany may need to a breakthrough in the case.
