German authorities have written to Madeleine McCann’s family regarding the evidence.
Berlin:
German authorities have “hard evidence” that missing British girl Madeleine McCann has died, Brunswick attorney Hans Christian Wolters told AFP on Wednesday.
“These are concrete evidence, facts we have, not mere indications,” said Wolters, adding that he was unable to disclose accurate information.
“We have no forensic evidence of Madeleine’s death, like a corpse,” he added.
Police said in early June that the mystery of the disappearance of three-year-old “Maddie” could finally be resolved when it revealed that it was investigating a 43-year-old woman for her disappearance from the seaside resort Portuguese from Praia da Luz in 2007.
The suspect, who was not named by the police but identified as Christian B. by the German media, has a history of previous sexual offenses, including sexual offenses against children and rape.
Prosecutors said they assumed that Madeleine was dead, although British authorities continued to treat her disappearance as a missing person case.
Wolters said German authorities wrote to Madeleine’s family, but declined to give details of the contents of the letter.
He also confirmed that Christian B. had requested his early release from Kiel prison, where he is currently serving a sentence for drug trafficking.
However, the suspect will not be released due to a warrant for the rape of an elderly woman in Portugal, said Wolters.
Madeleine disappeared from her family’s vacation apartment on May 3, 2007, a few days before her fourth birthday, while her parents were dining with friends at a nearby tapas bar.
His disappearance has sparked one of the greatest research of its kind in recent years.
Despite a wide range of suspects and theories about what happened, no one has ever been sentenced for his abduction and no trace of her has been found.
