Detective Mark Draycott, a key investigator in the Madeleine McCann disappearance case, is set to testify in Germany as part of the defense team for Christian Brueckner, the prime suspect in her kidnapping. Brueckner’s defense lawyers aim to discredit Helge Busching’s witness testimony, alleging inconsistencies in his claims about Brueckner’s confession. Draycott will face questions about Busching’s statement, despite the prosecution’s objections. Meanwhile, private investigator Dave Edgar, hired by the McCann family, is also expected to testify. Brueckner has denied the allegations, stating they were not close friends. Madeleine vanished from a hotel room in Praia de Luz, Portugal, in 2007, and her parents have not lost hope of finding her alive.

Detectives investigating the murder of Jill Dando inexplicably delayed nearly a year before initiating a search for a man witnessed fleeing the crime scene and visible on CCTV footage.
