German prosecutors believe Madeleine McCann — the British girl who vanished from a Portuguese resort in 2007 — is dead, as the prime suspect in her disappearance has been identified, according to reports Thursday.
Prosecutors have launched a criminal investigation into the 43-year-old German national on suspicion of murder charges, the Guardian reported.
“From this you can see that we assume that the girl is dead,” said Braunschweig state prosecutor Hans Christian Wolters.
The suspect has not been identified by authorities as per privacy rules, but his name — Christian Brueckner — was outed in German newspaper Der Spiegel, the Telegraph said.
Brueckner is a sex offender and drug trafficker who is serving a seven-year sentence for raping a 72-year-old American tourist, according to German media.
