New Madeleine McCann search launched. Here's our latest "48 Hours" investigation on the case. | Forensic Files

[Music] We have breaking news in one of the world's most infamous missing person's
mysteries. A German prisoner has been identified as a new suspect in the disappearance of Meline Macccan from a
holiday resort in Portugal 13 years ago. It is every parent's greatest fear. Please, please do not hurt her. Please
don't scare her. Please tell us where to find her. 3-year-old Maline McCann taken from her
bed with no clue left behind. We don't know where she is. We don't know who's taken her. We don't know why.
A massive search. A global media storm and an international investigation. Days turned into months
turned into years with no answers. That hope is still there. There's still hope that we can find Madlin. It's a
mystery that has been compared to a jigsaw puzzle with too many pieces missing until now.
The accused is a sex offender with several previous convictions who has already been convicted of sexual
abuse of children. His name is Christian Brookner. He absolutely matches the profile of a person who could
potentially abduct and or kill a little girl like Meline McCann. Was he anywhere near the resort where
this crime took place? He lived in a house run about one mile away from where Meline was potentially
abducted. It's one part of the puzzle, you can say. But there are some pieces missing for this puzzle to complete
it. His cell phone was tracked at the crime scene, or at least next to the crime scene the night Maddie
disappeared. That call puts him in the area at the time the crime was committed. On his property in Germany,
they found USB drives with pictures and videos of child abuse. It's when you put
those things together that you get that clearer focus where the jigsaw becomes much much more
complete. For the first time in 13 years, I have to say I actually felt here is a credible suspect.
[Music] Heat. Hey, Heat. [Music] We would like to say a few words to the person who is with Meline.
Meline is a beautiful, bright, funny, and caring little girl. She is so special. We need our Meline, and Meline
needs us. Please give our little girl back. It's been more than a decade of waiting
for Kate and Jerry Mac. We will leave no stone unturned in the search for our daughter, Meline. years of searching
since their daughter disappeared on May 3rd, 2007. We have to be hopeful. It's what keeps
us going and keeps us focused. Now they finally may be closer to finding out what happened to
[Music] Meline. In June 2020 in Brown, Germany, prosecutor Hans Christian Valters held a
press conference and made a stunning announcement. German police had a suspect, 43-year-old Christian Brookner.
He also had devastating news. He declared that Maline McCann was likely dead. It's been said that German
prosecutors are always very tight-lipped. You must have some strong evidence that allowed you to make that
statement to the public. We have strong evidence that Christian B killed Mie McCann. But you don't have a body.
Correct. There's no body. No, we have we have no forensic evidence. Then how can
you be so certain? We have other evidence. Just as German law does not allow Valters to use Brookner's full
name. He also cannot say what that evidence is. I heard the news that the Germans had a credible suspect and my
first thing was here we go again. Jim Gamble was head of the UK's Child Exploitation and Online Protection
Center and involved in the early investigation. Madlin's case was complex. Over the years, he has seen
countless leads end up as dead ends, but this time he believes the Germans may be
on the right track. Everyone, including myself, who's touched this case is more hopeful with the German case than than
we've been in 13 years. [Music] Back in May of 2007, British doctors Jerry and Kate McCann were on vacation
with their family in Pria Deluge, a resort town in the Alolgarve region of Portugal.
The coastline's beautiful, the sunshine's beautiful. Jane Hill is a BBC news anchor who covered Meline's story.
It was just a regular, relaxed week in the sun. The five members of the Macan family, including Meline and her younger
twin brother and sister, stayed at the Ocean Club. They were joined by several other
families. The Ocean Club Resort was seen as a place where families went. They'd gone there for generations. It was seen
to be familyfriendly and safe. We're having a great holiday. It was We had lots of fun. Especially fun for
Meline. She might look like Kate, but in terms of personality, she's much more of
a Macan. She's very extroverted and lively. She's very socialable. But their idyllic holiday would soon
come to an end. On May 3rd, at around 8:30 p.m., the Macans left their sleeping children
alone in their unlocked apartment and went to meet friends at the resort's Tapis Bar about 50 yards away.
That was their routine behavior. They'd been doing it all week. And the the friends would take turns. So every 15
minutes or so, one of the adults from the group would would go back and just check on their sleeping children and and
check that everything was okay. At 1000 p.m. when it was Kate's turn, she found the twins sound asleep. But this bed,
Meline's bed, was empty. Kate said to me, "Jane, Meline's gone. Meline's gone." Jane Tanner was one of
the friends who was dining with the Macans. It's the least thing you'd ever think in a million years that you know a
child is going to be abducted in a safe family resort. When Tanner heard that Meline had
disappeared, she says she remembered that earlier in the evening as she walked near the ocean club, she passed a
man who had caught her attention. Well, as I was walking up the road, this man w
was walking across the top of the road um carrying a small child. The thing that I noticed the most was he was
holding her and I could see the bare her bare feet um in the bottom of the pajamas. Tanner told the Portuguese
police what she had witnessed that night, but investigators didn't appear to take immediate action. There was
quite a less aair attitude. She's wandered off somewhere. She's probably got lost. We'll find her. she'll come
back. And that was one of the criticisms that that that the police activity didn't really get going until the next
day. Police in Portugal are investigating claims that a three-year-old British girl has been
abducted. By that time, Meline's disappearance was making headlines across the world. I'm Jane Hill live in
the Algav where there is still no sign of My editor took me off air the day after she disappeared and said, "Get on
a plane to Portugal." Hill was one of the first British journalists at the scene. Why did this
capture people's attention? So, it is every parent's nightmare, isn't it? In some ways, Meline was more than a
daughter to the Macans. She was their miracle. Unable to conceive, the couple endured a series of grueling in vitro
fertilization procedures until Kate finally became pregnant with Meline. What was it like for Jerry and Kate when
Meline was born? Um, well, they were walking on air, quite frankly. Family friend John Corner spoke to 48 Hours
back in 2007. The bond between Kate and Meline was uh is something amazing really.
Please, if you have Meline, let her come home to her mommy, daddy, brother, and sister.
Within days, Meline's face fueled one of the largest international searches for a
missing child in history. Meline's face became so familiar. She became ubiquitous.
[Applause] It was heartbreaking because photographs were released that the family had taken
on that holiday. It's obviously extremely difficult. Every day me and my team were there, we
just watched the press pack grow and grow and grow. As the cameras followed the macans everywhere, it seemed Kate
was never without Meline's pink stuffed animal. Well, it's something that Meline
has with her every night and if she's upset or not well, then she has cuddle cat. And so it provided me with a little
bit of comfort, something of Madlin close to me. [Music] [Applause] Days passed and the Macans grew
frustrated as the Portuguese police conducted their investigation and shared very
little. Portuguese police are not allowed to reveal any details of an ongoing investigation, not just to
people like me, to the family involved. And what happens when you have no information? You get rumor, gossip,
speculation. There was no proof of anything. That's the trouble. [Music] It's almost a week since Meline was
abducted from her holiday apartment. The expat community in the Algar were the first to join the search for Meline.
And 6 days on, they still feel compelled to carry on the hunt. I cried yesterday.
I've I'm crying now. I'm just very upset about it. There were rumors circulated all the
time. I can't tell you what a rumor mill it was. And you would think, where is this coming from?
A week after Meline's disappearance, suspicion fell on a man who lived just down the street from where Meline had
vanished. Why you just talking to one journalist? Tell me, who is Robert Morat? Robert Morat is a British expat
who lives in Emprea Deloo. So he had local knowledge and he spoke Portuguese and engaged with a number of reporters
and others in proximity to the investigation and offered himself up to provide help by way of translation or
advice. Police quickly named Morat a suspect. Witnesses say Morat showed up at the Ocean Club after Meline
disappeared and claimed he was acting suspiciously. Morat's mother said that wasn't possible. They couldn't have seen
him. He was at home all night. Then the public began to turn on the Macams for leaving their daughter alone.
Did it go from we feel so sorry for you to how could you have done that? There were people saying that. I recorded an
interview with a man from the Algav tourist board. He said, "I mean, you keep an eye on your suitcase. Why would
you not keep an eye on your child? It's a question Jane Hill had to raise when she became the first reporter to
interview Kate and Jerry McCann. A lot of people in the last 3 weeks have said, "I can't imagine doing such a thing. I
wouldn't be able to leave three children in that situation." How do you deal with
those sort of comments? I think, you know, no one will ever feel more guilty than us. If you thought for a minute
that someone could abduct your child, of course you would never have left them. Portuguese investigators also began
eyeing the Macs. 3 months after Meline vanished, specially trained sniffer dogs were
flown in to scour the family's vacation rental. Traces of blood were detected inside the apartment and in the trunk of
the Macan's rental car. Partial samples of the blood were recovered and sent to a British lab for
DNA testing. But the results indicated that the blood found in the apartment did not belong to
Meline. And the results from the DNA in the rental car were inconclusive. Well, I've seen the letter
from the forensic science lab. The forensic test didn't say this DNA is Maline Macccan's because actually the
full analysis of that says that up to half the forensic scientists in the lab would have had similar DNA
characteristics. It was not a complete DNA sample. What's more, the car wasn't actually retained by the Macans until
weeks after Meline had gone missing. And if you are to believe that Meline was in
the boot of the car, they must have either killed her and or hidden her sometime earlier, recovered her body
whilst the media were surveilling them, hidden it in the car, then moved it to a
place where they could dispose of it where no one could see that h happened and then bring the car back. That just
doesn't add up. The forensics don't add up. And yet 4 months after Meline vanished,
today Kate Macccan has returned to Porto Mau to be questioned by the Portuguese police. Portuguese police declare the
Macans are guidos suspects in their own daughter's disappearance, the enormous media
coverage in this. Do you believe in some ways that pressured Portuguese authorities to say we have our real
suspects? It is Kate and it is Jerry. Well, I can't speak to that. You'd have to talk to the senior investigating
officer from the Portuguese police. But in my opinion, do I think that that type
of pressure would focus the attention of the senior investigating officer? Of course. 48 hours reached out to the
Portuguese police for comment, but they did not reply. The Macan should have been suspects day
one, minute one, R1. And I don't believe for one second the Macan's committed this crime. But
what I'm saying is your attention should be first of all to look at the parents and actually to rule them in or rule
them out. Not to wait until you're months down the line where you have exhausted all of your other ideas um to
then say well actually it must be the parents cuz that's not fair on anyone. Surprisingly, almost immediately after
being declared suspects, the Macans were allowed to fly to the UK, returning home
for the first time without their daughter. We have played no part in the disappearance of our lovely daughter,
Meline. Kate McCann told her family that Portuguese investigators had pressured her to sign a confession in which she
was to admit that Meline had died accidentally and that Madeline's disappearance had been staged. Kate
refused. 48 hours spoke to Kate's mother in 2007. Kate said, "Why why would I sign that confession? You know, if an
accident had happened, Meline had fallen. Kate and Cherry wouldn't have hidden us.
[Applause] When the Macans were named as suspects in Portugal, were they seen as suspects
in the UK as well? I'm sure there were people in the UK who did think that they had had some involvement and that was
reflected particularly in the British tabloid press. Some British newspapers began running
unsubstantiated, sensational storylines. And what happened is the war of the tabloids began to take place.
The onslaught of wild accusations continued for months effectively portraying the Macans as
killers. And then you get the armchair detectives and with social media you've got the geeks, freaks, and morons. But
when you've got this world of bile being created online, then people continually
feed it. It wasn't until the following summer in July 2008 that Portuguese investigators
cleared the Macans. By then, Jerry and Kate had spent nearly a year under a cloud of suspicion.
It's hard to describe how utterly desparing it was to be named Arguido and subsequently portrayed in
the media as suspects in our own daughter's abduction. The police also cleared Robert Morat.
But what had happened to little Meline? The Macs remained singularly focused on finding out. I think there's a really
good chance she's still alive. Um, I guess I feel she's out there. [Music] More than 2 years had passed since
Maline McCann's mysterious disappearance, and Portuguese investigators were no closer to knowing
what happened to her. As head of the UK's Child Exploitation and online protection center, Jim Gamble knew he
had to take action. Meline disappeared on the 3rd of May 2007 while on holiday with her family in Portugal. We produced
a viral video called a minute for Maline Macan. If you know who is involved and you're keeping this secret, a video that
said it's never too late to do the right thing and if you know something, go to your local police. I understand that the
video was in seven different languages. Is that right? Yes, it was in Chinese, in Arabic, in
Spanish. I mean, it was downloaded in every part of the world. And as the views ticked up, so too did the number
of potential leads. Give me a sense of the number of sightings that were pouring in from all over the world
during these years. There's been a a number of sightings of Maline Macan, you know,
Australia, in parts of Africa, across Spain, Portugal, and beyond. All turned out to be nothing. The trail went cold.
But things were about to heat up. In 2010, Gamble was asked by the British government to officially review the
case. When Portuguese police began this investigation, you believe they made some fundamental errors? I do think they
made some critical errors. Gamble says Portuguese investigators failed to take a close look at everyone staying near
the Ocean Club at the time. It was clear that, you know, the searches were ad hoc. The fact is that all of the details
of all of the people who'd stayed in that apartment block or been in proximity to the town hadn't been
captured. Gamble also found that cell phone data around the Ocean Club the day Meline went missing hadn't been properly
analyzed. The telephone companies captured all of that information in 2007. Yet, there was absolutely no
evidence that any of that cell size data had been investigated. In June 2010, Gamble finished his case
review and submitted recommendations to the British government. But for almost a
year, nothing happened until Jerry McCann wrote an open letter on the front page of a popular tabloid to the prime
minister. And in a day, Operation Graange was commissioned. Operation Graange became one of the
largest and most expensive investigations in British history. The full weight of Scotland Yard was now
brought in to assist the Portuguese investigation. There was a sense in the UK that this was almost a fresh start.
Let's regroup. Let's see what wasn't looked at. Let's go through witness statements. let's see whether we can
make fresh appeals for information and really revitalize this. That meant taking another look at every
possible scenario of what might have happened that night. Could this be that the child simply walked away? Could it
be an abduction? Could it be a burglary that's gone wrong? Could someone have broken into the room? Might they have
been disturbed by Meline? And could they have responded, you know, out of fear, out of anger? and nervousness and taken
her away. There was one dark scenario that weighed most heavily. The possibility that
Meline had been kidnapped by a sex offender. Obviously, that was our biggest fear. But just the thought of
someone so lovely and beautiful, our child being subjected to something like that
was it was enough to destroy us. Operation Graange solved one early mystery. The identity of the man seen in
this police sketch whom that family friend had reported seeing. Scotland Yard determined it was just a man on
vacation with his child. Age progression technology was also used at the time to further the
investigation. I have on many occasions looked at images of children who have been found and the likeness sometimes is
remarkable. By 2016, the number of alleged Meline sightings had grown to more than
8,600, spanning more than 100 countries. Scotland Yard investigated every credible lead, but none led anywhere.
How could it be that years later there was still no trace of this little girl? How was that possible?
Nothing. What we're waiting for over these years as all these bits start to fall into place. The cell site data,
information about suspects, other sex offenders in the area. We're waiting for that last piece
to fall into place. Then in June 2020, from a small German city, some startling news. German police
revealing that a convicted sex offender currently serving a jail sentence is now
the prime suspect. After years of dead ends, finally a promising suspect. This 43-year-old
German man, a look into his past would reveal a monster. [Music] [Music] on the anniversaries and our
birthday. They are the by far the hardest days by far. In 2017, Jerry and Kate McCann marked a grim
anniversary. It had been 10 years since their daughter disappeared. Whatever it takes, for as long as it
takes, but there's still hope that we can find Madlin. So, certainly from my point of view, you know, somebody knows
what's happened. Little did the Macans know, more than 500 miles away in Brownfik, Germany,
police had received a gamechanging new tip. German prosecutor Hans Christian Valters. In 2017, a person contacted the
German police and gave us the name of Christian B. According to news reports, Buckner, who
German authorities refer to as Christian B, allegedly made a drunken confession to a friend that he knew what had
happened to Meline. Germany's highest police agency conducted an investigation. And what
they uncovered was that Brookner had a long and disturbing background of crime spanning three decades. Who is Christian
B? Christian B is a criminal who committed a lot of financially motivated crimes like burglary or drug
trafficking. Mark Hoffman is a crime and intelligence analyst based in Germany who has studied Christian Brookner. He
also has a DACA site. Authorities say he had a history of targeting little girls.
He is a very likely psychopath with no empathy, no deep feelings who is interested in feeling some sense of
power over defenseless victims, especially young children. So he absolutely matches the
profile of a person who could potentially abduct and or kill a little girl like Meline McCann.
Official documents obtained by 48 Hours show that Brookner's life of crime began
when he was arrested for theft at the age of 15. Two years later in 1994, he sexually
abused a child in Germany. Brookner fled to Portugal to escape serving his sentence. He moved
from job to job. He moved from crime to crime until 1999 when he was extradited to Germany to serve his
sentence, but he would soon return to Portugal where Brookner lived out of a VW camper van before eventually moving
to this house. He lived in a house run about one mile away from the crime scene where Meline was abducted. While living
in Pria Deluj, investigators say Brookner had returned to a life of crime, often stealing from hotels and
holiday apartments. He was known for burglary in hotel resorts. And Maddie disappeared from a hotel resort.
So, it's possible that this crime maybe started as a hotel burglary and it ended
as the potential kidnapping and or killing of Mie McCann. Jim Gamble says that theory is certainly
possible. The hypothesis that it was a burglar who responded in an opportunistic way is one that that I've
always thought is credible. In fact, just one year before Meline disappeared, Brookner was arrested in
Portugal for theft. But it is unknown what the Portuguese police knew about his past sexual offense in Germany. 48
Hours reached out to them to find out, but they did not respond. But it is clear that Brookner
should have been looked at more closely by the Portuguese authorities from the beginning. German investigators now
believe they have discovered a key piece of evidence. On May 3rd, 2007, a call was made to Brookner's cell phone
approximately 1 hour before Meline disappeared. The cell phone information that you received, do you believe that
placed him around the resort area at the time that Mattie McCann disappeared? The
phone number placed Christian B to the ocean club. But we have to find out which person uses this phone at this
time. Normally it was used by Christian B, but we don't know which person used it on the 3rd of May in 2007. Gamble
says this lead could have been pursued at the time if Portuguese police had only analyzed the cell phone data. I
believe the information that now ties the present suspect's phone to the area would have been available at that time
if someone had looked for it. And German investigators also learned that immediately after Meline went missing,
Brookner did something suspicious. He put his car in someone else's name. He dregistered his car one day after the
disappearance. Shortly after that, he quietly slipped out of Portugal and returned to Germany
once again. Brookner eventually settled in Brownfag and briefly ran a small general store by a school and kept a low
profile. Pretty often these child molesters, this is like their dirty little secret. They don't talk about it
to anyone, but they talk about their crimes and fantasies quite openly to other child molesters.
As it turns out, Valters and his team learned Brookner was still operating in the darkest shadows of society. In 2013,
he posted in a pedophile chat room on Skype. This was a Skype chat where he openly discussed his fantasies of
torturing little children and using them and raping them for a couple of days. Although Brookner's post made no
mention of Maline McCann, the search of an abandoned factory once owned by Brookner would uncover photos and videos
that would raise more questions. [Music] As Valters and his team continued their
investigation into Christian Brookner's past, they learned that not long before that alleged drunken confession in a
bar, his name had been linked to Maline McCann. hands. In 2013, German police had received their first tip that
Christian Brookner could be involved in her disappearance. There was a first hint to
our suspect in 2013, but the police contacted Christian B and there was nothing found to investigate any longer.
While it didn't pan out, just one year later, he was back on police radar. According to documents obtained by 48
Hours in 2014, 391 photo files and 68 video files of child pornography were confiscated
from Brookner's home while he was living in Brownfag. During this time, he was also
charged with sexually abusing a 5-year-old. He was sentenced to 15 months in prison for committing both
offenses. But before serving his sentence, he fled once again to Portugal. If I look at his life and
criminal record, it seems a little bit like he was always fleeing and trying to escape law enforcement. So whenever he
committed a crime, whenever he was investigated in in connection with some crimes, he left the country. Brookner
would later be extradited to Germany once again to serve his sentence. [Music] And then if there is a house of horrors
in this tragic mystery, it may be this one. A deserted factory deep in the woods of Saxony Onalt, Germany that
Christian Brookner once owned. In 2016, investigators conducted multiple searches of this property. 48
Hours has learned these searches were part of a broader investigation into child pornography. And what they found
was troubling. Law enforcement confirmed that they found at least three girls swimsuits in
his camper van. So, of course, you need to ask the question, who do these swimsuits belong to?
Investigators have not revealed if they know the answer. But that's not all they
found. On this property, they found USB drives containing pictures and videos, including videos and pictures of child
abuse and also videos which he produced himself. And these USB drives were in a plastic bag buried under his dead dog in
the ground. It seems that Brookner had a long fascination with recording his crimes. In 2018, a witness came forward
saying they had seen a videotape from 2005 of Brookner raping a 72year-old American woman at her home in Portugal.
Up until then, the attacker's identity had not been known. This was not just rape. This was the most brutal form of
rape I ever heard of. That assault had taken place close to the Ocean Club and two years before
Maline McCann disappeared. Brookner was charged and convicted for these crimes in
2019. His DNA matched DNA found at the scene. He's definitely a bad guy. He's definitely a psychopath and he's
definitely a full-time criminal. But the question is, is he really guilty in the
Medie McCann case? Valters will not reveal details about his current investigation into Christian
Brookner, but he is adamant about one thing. We are sure that Christian B murdered Maline McCann because of the
evidence we have. And may I speculate that that evidence may include photographs or video of Mattie Macan?
You may speculate, but I'm not allowed to tell you if you are right or if you are wrong.
But despite the evidence he says he has, Valters admits he needs more of it in order to charge Brookner. And in
Germany, we charge someone only if we are sure that he will be sentenced by the court. If there are doubts, uh, we
don't charge him. Volter says one piece of evidence they need is to find the person who made that call to Brookner's
cell phone approximately 1 hour before Meline disappeared on May 3rd, 2007. This might be the only person who could
confirm that indeed Christian B was holding his cell phone in his hand that night. And this would be a proof that
not just his cell phone was at the crime scene, but that he was at the crime scene.
Although investigators made an appeal to the public, they have been unable to identify the mystery caller. The phone
which was used for the call to Christian B was a prepaid phone. So we are not able to to find this person in an easy
way. The Macccans have not commented on Christian Brookner, but they posted this
on their website. We will never give up hope of finding Meline alive, but whatever the outcome may be, we need to
know as we need to find peace. [Music] Meanwhile, Brookner has remained silent behind prison walls where he is serving
a 7-year sentence for raping that 72year-old American woman. Right. Brookner's lawyer spoke to 9 News
Australia. He is innocent until proven guilty. Bolters admits that without a body or
forensic evidence, this case will be hard to solve. But he is not backing down. And do you believe there are
people out there, whether it be in Portugal or in Germany, who have information about this case that is
important? We think that there are people who can help us and we hope that these people will contact us or the
police. I have spent many years hoping that there will be a resolution. BBC News
anchor Jane Hill, who covered Meline's story from the start, hopes this new investigation will finally provide
answers, as painful as they may be for the Macs. I hope that there can be closure in some
way for a family that has spent 13 and 1/2 years not knowing what happened to their little
girl, not knowing what they can say to her younger brother and sister about where she's gone.
[Music] Meline is a beautiful, bright, funny, and caring little girl. She is so special. We beg you to let Madeline come
home. [Music] 48 hours to miss it would be a crime. Were you at all prepared for what
happened in this case? [Music]
