Speaker 2: in the disappearance of Madeline McCain, allegedly expressed a desire

7
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:28,320
Speaker 2: to quote capture something small and use it for days.

8
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 2: As detailed in a recent article by the Sun, the

9
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 2: evidence described as quote disturbing, reportedly includes writings attributed to Bruckner,

10
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:40,640
Speaker 2: now forty eight years old, in which he fantasized about

11
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 2: drugging a young girl and her mother outside a preschool

12
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:50,199

Speaker 2: intended for adolescent girls and images that suggest child exploitation.

14
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 2: The hard drive also contained information that led authorities to

15
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 2: conclude that Madeleine may be dead. This is per a

16
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 2: report from the Sun which aired this week on Channel four.

17
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:09,680
Speaker 2: Madeleine has been missing since two thousand and seven, and

18
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 2: despite extensive searches, she has never been located. Bruckner, currently

19
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 2: serving time for an unrelated rape conviction, remains the main

20
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 2: suspect in the missing girl's case. The newly uncovered evidence

21
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 2: was reportedly discovered during a search of Bruckner's home, where

22
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 2: the hard drive was found buried beneath his dead dog.

23
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,039
Speaker 2: To date, no one has been charged in connection with

24
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 2: the disappearance of the three year old British girl, Madeleine McCain. Madeleine,

25
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 2: who would have celebrated her twenty second birthday next week,

26
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:45,640

30
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 2: while their parents, Kate and Jerry McCain, were dining nearby. Initially,

31
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 2: the mccains were considered suspects after forensic tests detected traces

32
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 2: of Madeline's blood in a car they had rented twenty

33
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 2: five days post disappearance. However, over ten years later police

34
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:14,360
Speaker 2: focused on Bruckner, naming him the primary suspect based on

35
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 2: evidence linking him to Madeleine's case. According to the latest

39
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 2: cards buried beneath the animal. Police described one hard drive

40
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 2: as quote deeply concerning. According to the Times of London,

41
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:44,360
Speaker 2: Bruckner has a documented history of a sexual offender, including

42
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 2: sexual offenses against a miner. When Bruckner was first named

00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 2: According to local authorities, Alison Swan, thirty nine, faces a

63
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 2: charge of battery resulting in bodily harm. This according to

64
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 2: court documents from Saint Lucie County. The event took place

65
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 2: at their home on South button Would Drive in Port

66
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 2: Saint Lucie, a coastal city about fifty miles north of

67
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 2: West Palm Beach. Details of the chaotic episode were outlined

68
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 2: in an arrest report filed by the Port Saint Lucie

69
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 2: Police Department. Officers were dispatched after a third party caller

70
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 2: alerted nine to one one claiming to hear a disturbance

71
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 2: involving Swan and her wife. Upon arrival, Swan allegedly insisted

72
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 2: that quote everything was fine and attributed the situation to

73
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:48,920
Speaker 2: her wife's intoxication. According to the report, she denied any

74
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 2: physical confrontation and claimed her wife was in a drunken state,

75
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,159
Speaker 2: leading her to lock herself in the bedroom. Swan further

76
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,159
Speaker 2: alleged that her wife had damaged the walls, but maintained

77
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:02,479
Speaker 2: that no physical laws altercation had occurred. However, the account

78
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:06,479
Speaker 2: provided by Swan's wife painted a significantly different picture. She

79
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:10,280
Speaker 2: explained that while preparing nachos in the kitchen, Swan, who

80
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 2: was occupied with video games, criticized her late night snack

81
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 2: and commented on her being overweight. This sparked an argument,

82
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 2: during which Swan allegedly approached her, grabbed a handful of nachos,

83
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,359
Speaker 2: and forcefully stuffed them down the back of her pants.

84
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,479
Speaker 2: Following this, the wife attempted to change her clothes and

85
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 2: reached out to a friend, though she was unable to

86
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 2: fully connect. Swan reportedly persisted, following her as she tried

87
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 2: to remove her pants, pushing her against the wall and

88
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 2: dragging her by the hair of the head. According to

89
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 2: the victim's statement, Swan held her face down on the floor,

90
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 2: forcing her fingers in her mouth in a painful manner.

91
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:50,039
Speaker 2: She said quote she hooked me like a fish and

92
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 2: continued to beat me up. Evidence at the scene included

93
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:57,840
Speaker 2: stained clothes, large smears of yellow cheese on the wall

94
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 2: in the bedroom, a hole in the bedroom wall, all

95
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 2: supporting the victim's claims. The report noted that the stains

96
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 2: corresponded with the wife's buttocks area where the nacho cheese

97
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 2: would have been, and her elbow aligned with the hole

98
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,919
Speaker 2: in the wall. Additionally, the victim was reported to have

99
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 2: a hematoma on her forehead and scratches on her arms.

100
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 2: When questioned again, Swan continued to deny the allegations. She

101
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 2: was arrested later that night and posted bond. Her next

102
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 2: court appearance is set for June two. I guess it's

103
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,599
Speaker 2: true what they say, never ask a woman about her weight.

104
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 1: How could a beautiful, young first grade teacher be stabbed

105
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:41,720
Speaker 1: twenty times, including in the back, allegedly die of suicide? Yes,

00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:46,080
