The prime suspect in the disappearance of Madeleine McCann, Christian Brueckner, has written a sickening letter from jail in which he claimed they would never find evidence against him.

The convicted German paedophile, currently in prison for raping a pensioner, mocked cops in his shocking note which pointed out a body has not been found yet. The disgusting letter said: “Is there a body? No, no no.” These chilling words have been revealed after German police ditched their renewed search into areas around Praia da Luz, where the toddler was last seen 18 years ago. The suspect and convicted sex offender also lived in the area at the time the tot vanished.

German and Portuguese police came together this week to search every properties and pieces of land linked to Brueckner, as his sentence is due to end in September. Investigators are said to be set on the idea that the paedophile took the three-year-old but and are desperate to prove this before he is freed – the predator has denied any involvement.

A creepy letter written by Brueckner, 48, has been revealed by The Sun in which he insists there is no proof against him. The vile note questioned whether his DNA has ever been found at the scene and whether traces of the toddler were ever discovered in his vehicle.

He wrote: “Are there other traces/DNA carriers of the injured party in my possession? Photos? And, not to forget, is there a body/corpse? All no, no no.” He added that the accusations against him “will not hold up and that the investigation will be dropped”.

The letter carried on with Brueckner claiming that the case was built on “purchased witnesses” but said he understood the German legal system well and claimed it would be unlikely for him to be locked up for her disappearance.

Brueckner wrote: “Now, my path is paved with misjudgements, so to speak, but from now on the whole world is watching. Not even the Braunschweig regional court will now dare to make an obvious misjudgement.”

This comes just a day after the latest search was called off by investigators after the appeared to have no luck in finding evidence or clues. The operation kicked off on Tuesday, June 3, with teams scouring through more than 20 plots of land east of Praia da Luz – including a cottage Brueckner was believed to be living in around the time Madeleine vanished.

The convicted paedophile had reportedly also lived in his car or camped during his time in southern Portugal.

Search teams discovered animal bones and pieces of adult clothing at these sites, according to Portuguese TV reports. Police however have not shared an official statement on what could have been discovered.

Diggers and ground-penetrating radars were present during the three-day search but it is unclear whether anything found will be sent to Germany for further analysis.
