Police say they have "seized a number of items" which they are set to analyse following their search for Madeleine McCann last week. Today, June 1, German police have said they cannot confirm whether the items taken from their dig in Portugal are connected to the British girl's 2007 disappearance, although they have appealed for more time to access them.
For three days last month, investigators searched the surrounding area of of the Arade dam and reservoir, which lies around 30 miles from Praia da Luz, where Madeleine was last seen shortly before her fourth birthday in 2007. German police said in June 2020 that they believed Madeleine to be dead, and that their suspect Christian Brückner was likely responsible.
The 45-year-old once dubbed the reservoir his "little paradise". Now, detectives are desperately seeking evidence to link Christian to Madeleine's disappearance, which led them to carry out the first search in nine years last week, The Mirror reports.
