The documentary, which airs tonight, will speak to experts with inside knowledge of the probe into Madeleine’s disappearance.
Clarence Mitchell, a long-term close adviser of the McCanns, and Sky News crime correspondent Martin Brunt are among those interviewed on the RTL special programme.
German profiler and crime expert Axel Petermann will piece together a picture of Chrisian B.
It follows last week’s revelation that he had been identified as the prime suspect in the Madeleine probe.
He was revealed as a suspect on last Wednesday’s edition of the German equivalent of Crimewatch.
Meanwhile, Christian B won’t give any information, his lawyer said today.
Friedrich Fülscher, who represents the suspect with Hamburg lawyer Johann Schwenn, told RTL today: “Christian B is not making any statements on the case at the moment and we ask for your understanding that we as defence attorneys are not making any statements either.”
He said he had visited his client at the Kiel Penitentiary, where the 43-year-old German was being held in solitary confinement, it was reported.
When asked how his client was doing, Fülscher replied: “How should a person be doing who is isolated in a prison and accused of the worst crimes by half the world’s population?”
Christian B. is serving a 21-month prison sentence for a drug offence in Kiel.
He has served two thirds of the time and had applied for early release from his drugs sentence.
A request for a review of Christian B’s release on probation was submitted to the Kiel Regional Court.
According to German media the request was made on May 29 and it is now up to the regional court in Kiel to decide.
Christian B is said to have boasted about torture and destroying evidence in an online conversation with another paedophile.
He made chilling threats about wanting to “catch something little and use it for days”.
German cops investigating the disappearance of Inga Gehricke, five, – which Christian B has also been linked to – discovered the conversation.
During the chat, when Christian B was asked about being caught, he reportedly said: “Meh, if the evidence is destroyed . . .”
He then added: “Then I’ll record maaaany videos/clips. I’ll document in detail how she’s being tortured.”
Hans Christian Wolters, Braunschweig state prosecutor, said he feared Madeleine was killed shortly after being abducted from her family’s holiday apartment in Praia da Luz in 2007.
Mr Wolters told The Times: “My private opinion is that he relatively quickly killed the girl, possibly abused her and then killed her.
“We believe our suspect committed further crimes, especially sexual crimes, in Portugal possibly but also elsewhere in Germany.”
