A suspect has been formally named in the 2007 disappearance of three-year-old Madeleine McCann, making this the first time authorities have zeroed in on someone in an official capacity since the toddler's parents, Kate and Gerry McCann, were cleared themselves.
German police first began investigating the suspect, Christian Brueckner, in 2020, but did not have enough evidence to charge him at the time, according to CNN. On Thursday Brueckner was officially made an "arguido," which translates as "named suspect," and today Portuguese prosecutors interviewed the man in prison where he was informed of his "arguido" status, per a report by New York Post.
