Aberle told cops in 2010 — around the time prostitute Monika Pawlak, 24, was mutilated and stuffed in two bin bags.
Christian B was a suspect in the Hamburg killing but never charged.
Details emerged at a summit between German and Portuguese cops to review the Maddie case.
Christian B is serving seven years in Germany for rape.
Officials there hope to charge him soon over Maddie, who vanished, aged three, in Praia da Luz, Portugal, in 2007.
He denies involvement.
