Police in Germany investigating the disappearance of Madeleine McCann are to publish their findings from a secretive dig in Portugal, according to reports. Detectives from the Federal Criminal Police (BKA) spent days searching land next to the Arade Dam with sniffer dogs, radar and search teams.
The agency, which is the German equivalent of the FBI, scoured the location which prime suspect Christian Brueckner, 45, once referred to the location as his "little paradise". Arade Dam is situated 31 miles from the area in which Maddie who was three at the time disappeared in 2007.
The Mirror reports that cops left behind two-foot deep bore holes to allow them to take soil back to Germany to be forensically analysed. Results were originally not expected for months but it is believed that the results could be revealed on Thursday, June 1.
