New search for Madeleine McCann: Hope for crucial information!
New search for Madeleine McCann: Hope for crucial information!
On June 2, 2025, a new search began in Portugal in the case of Madeleine McCann, who has been missing since 2007. This initiative measure was initiated by Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) and receives support from the Portuguese police. The focus of the search is in an area between the Ocean Club in Praia da Luz, where Maddie was last seen, and a finca in which Christian B. lived at the time of the crime. This comprehensive search is the first major measure since May 2023, when in vain was searched for information in a reservoir on the Algarve.
Christian B. is considered a suspected perpetrator, is a predefined sexual offender and is currently in custody because of other sexual offenses. In October 2024, however, he was acquitted in another procedure. So far, no murder can be raised against him. In the current search campaign, the investigators hope to find crucial information before Brückner's end of the seam to find the case. The measure is described as routinely to take into account all available information.
new knowledge and evidence
The story of Madeleine McCann began on May 3, 2007 when her parents Kate and Gerry McCann left their children in their holiday apartment in Praia da Luz while eating nearby. Around 10 p.m. Kate noticed that Madeleine had disappeared. A friend reported that he had seen a man in the evening who wore a child, which also complicated the representations of the event. After an extensive examination that took numerous twists over the years, the investigation by the Portuguese authorities was hired in 2008.
Investigations and missing persons in Germany
The bka plays a central role in the processing of missing persons and coordinated searches both in Germany and internationally. Around 9,420 missing cases are currently registered in Germany, with about 50 % of the cases being informed within the first week. The authority also processes specific cases in which minors are considered missing and initiates extensive search measures in the event of acute danger that often include local police and emergency services.
Despite the far -reaching efforts, the case of Madeleine McCann remains unsolved to this day. However, the renewed search in Portugal could open up new perspectives and contribute to the hopefully coming clarification of the case. The McCanns and the investigators are determined to do everything in their power in order to bring light into the dark and to learn the truth about the fate of their daughter.
