Police who are investigating the disappearance of Madeleine McCann have given an update after they seized a number of items during last week's search in Portugal.
After German police requested a fresh search, a number of items were recovered last Thursday after three days in the surrounding area of the Arade dam and reservoir - just 30 miles from Praia de Luz where the young girl was last seen alive just before her fourth birthday in 2007.
Today in the latest update, Braunschweig Public Prosecutor's Office said they cannot confirm whether the items taken from their dig in Portugal are connected to the disappearance of Madeleine, as the Mirror reports. They have appealed for more time to assess them.
