" The only thing that I would clarify is that it doesn't come from The Suspect - so we don't have A Confession or anything similar now, or an indication from The Suspect of where it would make sense to search. "
Mr Wolters is treating Brueckner as The main Suspect in Madeleine's case, although he has never been charged over Madeleine's disappearance and has denied any involvement.
