German police investigating the disappearance in 2007 of three-year-old British woman Madeleine McCann discovered and buried a hidden basement that allegedly belonged to suspect Christian Brueckner.
According to the Daily Mail, after a two-day search, soil and dust samples were sent for research and several pieces were removed from the site near the German city of Hanover.
The Daily Mail reported that the search team had found pieces in the hidden basement, adding a blue bucket, a pot, a canvas, a rope bag, gravel bags, corrugated iron, parquet boards, iron bars, plastic tubes, clothing. . Plastic coat and tree trunk. Prosecutors have yet to accurately reveal what they’re looking to find.
Police brought in specialized search dogs that combed the domain after Brueckner’s ex-friend informed them about the last month, the Daily Mail reported. Brueckner allegedly told that neighbor a basement, where he sought to cover the walls with veneer.
Wolfgang Kossack told the Daily Mail: “I edited his face from the gunshots in the news. And I’m his truck and his dogs. I’d forgotten it completely until then. Kossack said no one knew the alleged kidnapper was living on the floor at the time of McCann’s disappearance in 2007.
“He never did gardening. He didn’t plant anything or grow anything. He just sat down drinking beer,” Kossack said. “At that time, there was a construction in the garden. It was a small wooden design with a room to buy equipment and other things, but there was a kitchen … There was a cellar and underneath there were foundations. This construction was destroyed in 2008.”
After this point, Kossack stated that he had never noticed Brueckner again. He recalled that Brueckner had talked about moving to southern Europe for his time, but said he had never specified which country he would like to visit.
While police search for the property, a construction site in Hanover suspected of being Brueckner’s last known response in the city is also being investigated. Friedrich Fuelscher, the suspect’s lawyer, said, “I think we’ll soon know the reason” for police activity in the area.
According to some residents, police could soon seek ground in an attempt to locate the missing British girl. According to the Daily Mail, the owners of adjacent gardens in the German city of Braunschweig allege that Brueckner used to stay on the ground while working nearby. This plot is just over 60 kilometers from the land allocation where Brueckner is believed to have lived the year McCann disappeared.
“I’m afraid I can sleep on Madeleine McCann’s body, ” said the plot owner to the Daily Mail. She said she was the police to come and get the area.
Neighbors and current owner the police will arrive soon, however prosecutors in relation to the case will not tell if the control of the moment will be sought. According to the Daily Mail, Brueckner stayed on the lawn several times between 2013 and 2016 while running in the city.
Right now, Brueckner is in prison for drug convictions. He had implemented it early because, on June 7, he had served two-thirds of his sentence. It was feared that if he arrived early, Brueckner would seize the opportunity to flee.
Brueckner withdrew his application for release, but appealed his conviction for rape in 2005 of a 72-year-old boy in the same compound where McCann disappeared in Portugal. His drug conviction is expected to end just before January, but his seven-year rape sentence will continue unless he receives his appeal.
