Police to search new location for Madeleine McCann's remains.
TL;DR
Police divers have begun searching a reservoir in Portugal, 31 miles from where Madeleine McCann went missing 16 years ago. The operation is being led by German police looking for evidence to link her disappearance to Christian Brueckner, a 45-year-old German national who was made a formal suspect by Portuguese prosecutors in 2022. Brueckner is known to have visited the area around the time Madeleine went missing. This is not the first time the reservoir has been searched as part of the investigation.
