A Portuguese newspaper has unveiled a disturbing new theory in the disappearance of Madeleine McCann that aims to challenge everything people thought they knew about the case—that the three-year-old may have been run over by a drunk German woman, and her body later dumped in the sea with the help of her British husband.
The claim also accuses German prosecutors of failing to act on a crucial tip that surfaced in 2018, stating that they sidelined it in favor of pursuing Christian Brueckner, the man long suspected of abducting and murdering Madeleine.
The allegations come at a critical time, as Brueckner’s prison sentence for an unrelated crime nears its end and authorities renew efforts to link him to the toddler’s disappearance in an effort to keep him behind bars.
