Police have warned of what they might find during their search for Madeleine McCann’s body in a lake - in an area the prime suspect in her disappearance called his “little paradise”.
Last month detectives from the Federal Criminal Police (BKA), Germany’s equivalent of the FBI , spent several days searching land next to the Arade Dam. As reported by the Mirror, they used radar, sniffer dogs and search teams to scour the location just 31 miles from where three-year-old Maddie vanished in 2007.
Prime suspect Christian Brueckner, 45, once referred to the location as his "little paradise". And in an effort to track down clues as to if Maddie had been thrown in, police dug several deep boreholes.
