Madeleine McCann Portugal Research to enter the third day

Madeleine McCann’s research should resume Thursday morning near the place where she disappeared from Praia da Luz, Portugal.

German and Portuguese investigators have until Friday to seek evidence relating to the disappearance of the British toddler 18 years ago.

The police traveled a site of 21 km2 (8.1 km2) between the place where she disappeared and where the first suspect of German investigators, Christian Brückner, was stayed at the time.

The 48 -year -old man is serving a prison sentence in Germany for an unrelated rape case, but he could be released in September.

Madeleine McCann, three, disappeared from an Algarve apartment while he was on vacation with his family in May 2007.

His disappearance is one of the most important missing people in the world.

The case of Madeleine was initially processed by the Portuguese authorities with the help of the metropolitan police.

However, German police took the lead in 2020 when they identified Brückner as a suspect.

He is known for spending time in the same part of Portugal between 2000 and 2017.

German police suspect him of murder. British police continue to deal with the case as an investigation into missing people.

Brückner has repeatedly denied any involvement and no accusation was made against him concerning the disappearance of Madeleine.

A European mandate has been approved by Portuguese prosecutors to authorize German teams to do the latest research on private land.

Diggers and specialized equipment were brought to help travel the buildings and abandon buildings on Wednesday.

Research has been transported for the last time near the Deca Arade Reservoir in 2023 when Brückner had photos and videos of himself in the region.

At night, Madeleine disappeared, her parents had been dinner with friends in a restaurant a few steps while their three-year-old daughter and her young twin brothers and twins were sleeping in the apartment on the ground floor.

Last month, Kate and Gerry McCann marked the 18th anniversary of her disappearance, saying that their “determination to leave no non -returned stone is unshakable”.

However, they would not comment during the “active police investigation,” said Find Madeleine campaign staff.
