A mother has told how Madeleine McCann suspect Christian Brueckner chillingly spoke to her daughter while 'exposing himself' in a playground.
Brueckner was caught with his trousers down under a slide in San Bartolomeu de Messines, 40 miles from Praia da Luz, Portugal, where Madeleine, three, went missing.
He was arrested in 2017 for carrying out a sex act in front of four youngsters.
The paedophile, 43, was extradited to Germany and is in jail on drug offences.
The mum of the then eight-year-old said: “It’s still something that haunts me.”
It was claimed yesterday an ex-Scotland Yard detective lived next to Brueckner in Portugal, where he was living after Madeleine vanished in 2007.
