Reading an article from September 2007. With what we know now, it's chilling to think that Brückner could've been inside the bedroom at the time. I can't imagine how Gerry must feel to this day knowing his gut was telling him something.
"The McCanns, both 39, were dining with friends only yards from their Algarve apartment in Praia da Luz when Gerry went to check on the children on the night of May 3.
He entered the apartment at 9.05pm and saw Madeleine asleep in her bed with twins Sean and Amelie, two, in cots on either side of her.
But, mysteriously, the door to the bedroom door was open.
Although Gerry thought nothing of it at the time, he has told friends he is now sure he previously shut it.
Our source said: "When he went in he saw Madeleine was asleep but the bedroom door was slightly ajar.
He thought 'That's odd' because he'd left it firmly closed. But the children were asleep. So he just closed the door again and came out at about 9.10pm.
Initially he thought Madeleine might have got up and gone to the toilet, or to get a drink or something.
Now he thinks the abductor was in there hiding".
