THE prime suspect in the Madeleine McCann case allegedly boasted to a friend about breaking into hotel rooms in the Algarve. Christian B, 43, identified by German investigators in June, is known to have been living in the Praia de Luz resort around the time of the three-year-old's disappearance in 2007. Prosecutors began investigating Christian B following his conviction in December of last year for the rape of a 72-year-old in the same resort in August 2005. The conviction came after a former friend told police about finding video evidence of the rape on a camera he had stolen from Christian B's home. He said the tape also included footage of a younger woman tied to a wooden beam in a different house. The man said he had previously carried out a number of small-time burglaries with Christian B, but what he saw on the tape was "out of the question". Speaking to German broadcaster RTL, he added: “[Christian B] told me he does his break-ins in hotels and really goes right inside the rooms.” Christian B was convicted of the 2005 rape after DNA evidence placed him at the scene. He also has multiple previous convictions for the sexual abuse of children. Prosecutors have said they have strong evidence tying him to Madeleine's disappearance, but have not yet disclosed it all publicly. They have said that data from a mobile phone mast shows that he was in the Praia de Luz resort or the surrounding area at the time she went missing. He is known to have lived in properties in the region and to have spent time travelling around and sleeping in a camper van. He is also alleged to have confessed to abducting Madeleine while sat in a German bar with a friend and watching a news report about the tenth anniversary of her disappearance. Last month, police excavated an allotment he is known to have used for a time near the city of Hanover, Germany.

Madeleine McCann suspect Christian Brueckner has been linked to 25 burglaries in the Portuguese resort of Praia da Luz where the youngster vanished, court papers have revealed. Police hunting the intruder who raped an American OAP in Praia da Luz looked at an astonishing 25 burglaries in just eight months they suspected could also have been committed by the man unmasked years later as the German paedophile. Most of the burglary victims were from the UK. And court documents show up to three break-ins analysed by police trying to solve the horrific September 2005 rape Brueckner carried out took place in one 24 hour period on holiday homes occupied by British tourists. Cash, cameras and mobile phones were the typical items taken in the raids, which often occurred when occupants were out but at times happened when holidaymakers were in other parts of the properties targeted. The list of unsolved burglaries emerged as a man described as a former friend of Brueckner's confirmed the convicted sex offender had broken into hotel rooms and holiday flats on the Algarve. The pal, identified only as Manfred S, told German broadcaster RTL Brueckner had bragged to him about the break-ins when they roamed the Algarve together as small-time crooks. He also revealed he had discovered a video camera with footage of the sex offender raping his elderly victim at her Praia da Luz holiday home, along with a video of a younger woman tied to a wooden beam in another house. Manfred S told RTL he took the footage to police because he was so disturbed at what he saw and the video eventually led to Brueckner's conviction for the rape.

They cling onto a glimmer of hope that Maddie, who would now be aged 17, could still be alive as they refuse to believe she is dead without her body being located. In the first uplifting Facebook post for weeks, the digital co-ordinator, a close pal of the McCann’s who informs thousands of followers on their behalf, states: ‘Never stop believing in hope because miracles happen every day.’
