Authorities worry key Madeleine McCann suspect could ‘flee and disappear' amid renewed search
Sky News contributor Sophie Elsworth has discussed the renewed search for British girl Madeleine McCann who went missing back in 2007 while she was on holiday with her parents.
Ms Elsworth claims authorities are concerned that the prime key suspect, German man Christian Brueckner, may 'flee and disappear' when he's released from prison.
Mr Brueckner is currently serving a seven-year sentence for rape and has always denied any involvement in Madeleine McCann's disappearance.
'They've gone back to this area near where Madeleine McCann went missing, and they're doing this giant search that will go on all week long,' Ms Elsworth told Sky News Australia.

Prince Harry to owe more than $1.3 million to British taxpayers over failed legal battle
Digital Reporter Reilly Sullivan claims British taxpayers are set to be owed over $1.3 million in costs related to Prince Harry's failed legal battle with the British Home Office. 'When Harry and Meghan left royal duties, they were no longer entitled to taxpayer-funded Met police officers,' Mr Sullivan told Sky News Digital Presenter Gabriella Power. 'This has really been an ongoing court battle for over four years. 'He's lost multiple times on appeals. 'He will be expected to likely reimburse the home office and therefore the taxpayer this money. 'If he does repay the $1.3 million on top of his own legal fees, it's estimated that he spent in the ballpark of about $5 million just on this legal battle. 'It's not a good look. 'It's the legal system … that really have better things to do with their time than hear Harry's grievance in his $20 million mansion, I think they're sick of it.'
