## Resource

This podcast normally has a focus on victims of crime. Today, is different as I focus on the prime suspect in the disappearance of Madeleine McCann, Christian Brückner. In this special episode, I chat with Alex Frieling, a freelance German journalist covering crime, justice and investigative stories. He has reported extensively on Christian Brückner and the disappearance of Madeleine McCann for several British and German media outlets, including the Daily Mirror and The Sun. Over the past few years, he has attended court hearings, spoken with sources connected to the case and conducted on-the-ground reporting in Germany and so I was very keen to talk with him about Brückner. To follow his work - and I highly recommend it - Alex can be found on TikTok and other social media platforms under his name, Alex Frieling.
