German authorities say they’ve discovered an email account that is “related to the killing” of missing 3-year-old British girl Madeleine McCann.
Titus Stampa, a detective with Germany’s Federal Crime Police, told a court that the Hotmail account belonged to Christian Brueckner, per the Times of London.
Stampa said he wasn’t allowed to talk about the account, according to the Times.
Brueckner, who is considered to be the prime suspect in Madeleine’s presumed murder and disappearance, is on trial in an unrelated rape and child sexual abuse case, the Telegraph reported. He has denied having anything to do with Madeleine’s disappearance, per the Evening Standard.
Stampa alleged that authorities found a second email account he used to share photos and videos of child abuse, and that emails from that account were deleted in early 2007 when Madeleine disappeared, per the Telegraph.
