As reported by the outlet, much of the evidence was discovered by chance following a search at an abandoned factory Brueckner bought for £20,000 in 2008 – a year after Madeleine disappeared.
In 2016, after a dog ran onto the property, officers uncovered a wallet with six USB sticks and two memory cards containing disturbing material. This led to a full search of the factory, which is located in Neuwegersleben, Germany.
Among the materials found were stories by Brueckner showing his desire to kidnap children, as well as records of Skype messages with other child sex offenders, photos of minors, kids’ swimming costumes and toys, black-market guns and ammunition, and a satnav.
All of this and more will be examined in the doc, as well as how they potentially tie Brueckner to Madeleine’s disappearance.
As per the official synopsis, the film follows “an investigation by The Sun into Madeleine McCann’s disappearance, which uncovers further evidence that could point towards the prime suspect’s involvement in this unsolved crime.”
