We can also reveal one document puts the suspect at the location where he allegedly confessed by supposedly saying "she did not scream" as he discussed the British toddler with an associate.

The documentary also reveals sick child kidnap stories where Breuckner wrote: "A very small girl enters the room. She's definitely not older than five.

"Blonde, long hair tied in pigtails bounces cheekily back and forth as she comes towards me. I feel like I'm in paradise right now."

Online messages uncovered from Brueckner show him bragging to another sicko that he really wanted to "capture something small and use it for days".

He even threatened it wouldn't matter "if the evidence is destroyed afterwards" and gleefully added: "I'll make a lot of films... hehe."

The documentary on the police files on Maddie represents the biggest leap forwards in understanding of the case since German police revealed Brueckner as a suspect in 2020.

It contains an interview with Irish holiday rep Hazel Behan, 41, who Brueckner was cleared of raping in 2005 at trial in Germany last year

Brueckner refuses to answer police questions or provide an alibi, but has never been formally charged over the disappearance of murder of Madeleine McCann.

He has insisted his innocence in letters while his lawyers continue to maintain he had nothing to do with the taking or killing of Maddie.

German and Portuguese police used JCB-type machines and ground-penetrating radar, but found "nothing of consequence" dashing hopes of pinning Brueckner with DNA evidence

RadarOnline.com last week revealed how madeleine's parents Kate and Gerry McCann were left "crushed, frustrated and devastated" after the search was called off so soon.

An insider told us: "It's another crushing blow.

"The McCanns were optimistic something may materialize from the search, but the fact it’s now over after just a short time is naturally frustrating and devastating.

"They will never give up hope of finding their daughter."
