But since it was discovered Brueckner had been convicted of child sex crimes in his youth, Post said it was “super obvious” now that he had kidnapped her. He added: “Now I know about his past as a pedophile, his past as a rapist. I’m 100% sure that’s him. I think he found it by accident and took it in the heat of the moment. “
Christian Brueckner is the prime suspect in the girl’s disappearance.
“I think once you’re a pedophile, there’s a switch in your brain that you can’t turn off. If he saw a girl sleeping, alone in his apartment, he would have taken it. Thinking about what he did in the past hurts me, like I want to vomit that I know I’m flirting with him. If he is found guilty of taking Madeleine, hopefully they will lock him up and throw away the key, “he added to The Mirror.
The post was found by The Mirror in a small town in southern Cambodia, where he lives under an assumed name.
