A man who knew Madeleine McCann suspect Christian Brueckner has made a dramatic appeal to police, claiming they are searching in the wrong place.
Ken Ralphs told GB News that Brueckner’s alleged accomplice once broke down in tears and confessed plans to help abduct a child in Praia de Luz.
He said: “He cried that he needed the money to get out the country with his family and children and that’s why he got involved.”
Mr Ralphs identified what he described as the last property Brueckner stayed in before Madeleine vanished – and urged investigators to focus there.
Frustrated by years of inaction, he said: “For over 18 years, I’ve pressed the police and all they can do is blame each other for not passing this information on.”
