TL;DR Summary

Portuguese police will search a reservoir in the southern region of Algarve, about 50 km inland from where British three-year-old Madeleine McCann disappeared in 2007, at the request of German authorities who identified German man Christian Brueckner as an official suspect in the case. Brueckner, a convicted child abuser and drug dealer, is currently in jail in Germany for raping a 72-year-old woman in the same area of the Algarve from where Madeleine went missing. Maddie's parents were questioned by Portuguese police as formal suspects in 2007, but police dropped their investigation the following year, citing a lack of evidence, and cleared them of any involvement.
