A motorboat was also being used in the search of the Barragem do Arade reservoir as officers from Portugal, Germany and Britain were seen next to large blue tents at a site overlooking a promontory on the western side of the water. Briefings were being held while other officers patrolled the area, which was sealed off overnight.
