Overview
- Police escorted the 48-year-old McCann suspect from his apartment on Sept. 27 after his address spread on social media and neighbors confronted him, according to local reports.
- He remains under court-ordered controls that include monthly check-ins, a five-year electronic ankle monitor, a seized passport, and restrictions on changing residence.
- Defense attorneys say they sought a discreet release to prevent such incidents, accusing officials of failing to plan protections or provide appropriate housing.
- Lawyers allege the ankle monitor is malfunctioning and say fear of harassment kept him indoors, prompting counsel to deliver food.
- Prosecutors in Braunschweig said his Sept. 29 visit concerned personal matters outside their jurisdiction, and the McCann investigation continues without an indictment.
