London, September 15, 2025— Authorities in the United Kingdom and Germany are continuing to investigate the disappearance of Madeleine McCann as the prime suspect, Christian Brückner, nears release from prison.
Madeleine McCann vanished from her family’s holiday apartment in Praia da Luz, Portugal, in May 2007. Despite global searches and investigations, she has never been found. Brückner, a 48-year-old German national with a history of criminal offenses, was officially identified by German prosecutors as a suspect in 2020. He is currently serving a sentence in Germany for unrelated crimes but is due for release later this year.
“We remain committed to uncovering the truth about Madeleine’s disappearance,” said a Metropolitan Police spokesperson. “The investigation is active, and we are working closely with our German colleagues.”
Brückner has consistently denied any involvement in Madeleine’s disappearance. His impending release has heightened public concern and renewed appeals from the McCann family and law enforcement for anyone with information to come forward.
“Our investigation is ongoing,” German prosecutors reiterated, stressing that Brückner’s release does not mark the end of their inquiries.
The case remains one of the most high-profile unsolved disappearances in modern history, with international attention continuing nearly two decades after Madeleine was last seen. Authorities confirm that they are still pursuing leads, and further developments may emerge as the investigation progresses.
Next Steps
Authorities will continue monitoring Brückner following his release, while legal teams explore options to delay or extend his detention if further evidence arises. Meanwhile, the McCann family has urged the public not to lose hope as the search for answers continues.
