Madeleine McCann: Portugal search continues but set to end after three days
Officers are compeleting their latest searches in Portugal, as part of the investigation into the disappearance of Madeleine McCann. Search teams have spent three days scouring scrubland on the outskirts of Lagos in various abandoned structures – using equipment such as a ground-penetrating radar. It is understood the searches will finish on Thursday, as officers could be seen using a digger to remove rubble from more derelict buildings in the same area. Madeleine, aged three, went went missing while on hoiday with her family on the Algarve in 2007 after her parents went out to dinner and left her sleeping in a room with her twin siblings. The searches are being carried out by Portuguese and German authorities. ITV News understands police have been focusing on a location between Praia da Luz and the house where Christian Brueckner, the main and only suspect in the case, lived. German federal police requested the search to be carried out to obtain evidence that could implicate Bruckner, who is currently serving a prison sentence for raping a 72-year old women in Pria da Luz in 2005. He is due to be released in September. He has denied all the charges against him and any involvement in Madeleine's disappearance. The last search carried out took place in 2023, near the Barragem do Arade reservoir, around 30 miles from Pria da Luz. It was previously searched in 2008, when Portuguese lawyer Marcos Aragao Correia paid for specialist divers to search it, after he claimed to have been tipped off by criminal contacts that Madeleine's body was there. Last month, Madeleine's family marked the 18th anniversary of her disappearance. They described her as "beautiful and unique" ahead of her 22nd birthday, and vowed to continue the search. A statement from Madeleine's parents Kate and Gerry McCann, and the family, said: "The years appear to be passing even more quickly and whilst we have no significant news to share, our determination to 'leave no stone unturned' is unwavering. We will do our utmost to achieve this." In April, ministers approved more than £100,000 in additional funding for Scotland Yard detectives investigating Madeleine's disappearance.
