A new twist in this case
This twist comes as German authorities have claimed since 2020 to have evidence of little Maddie’s murder, identifying an already-carried German repeat pedophile as the prime suspect.
The little Brit disappeared from her hotel room in Praia da Luz, Portugal, on May 3, 2007 while her parents were attending a dinner party.
His disappearance had attracted international attention almost fifteen years ago.
