The man who police believe is the prime suspect in Madeleine McCann's disappearance has now been linked to a secret compound, giving authorities a new lead 14 years after the toddler's disappearance.
Christian Brueckner -- who is a convicted pedophile -- reportedly had access to the compound, located in Portugal’s southern Algarve region where the three-year-old British toddler went missing in 2007.
According to a new report, the compound belonged to Brueckner’s ex-girlfriend, German native Nicole Fehlinger.
German authorities recently discovered the compound when they interviewed Fehlinger’s father, Dieter, for a second time.
"No one knows that my daughter not only had the private residence in Portugal at her disposal, but also a separate compound,” Dieter told The Mirror.
“No one has ever searched there or the property has never turned up in connection with Maddie.”
Fehlinger's dad also told the outlet, four “aggressive” dogs guard the compound that has now been overgrown with weeds.
“The area is completely overgrown, not visible. No one could get in or out, only my daughter and perhaps Brueckner with her," he explained.
