Portuguese police conclude latest search for Madeleine McCann clues.

Portuguese police have ended the latest search for clues in the disappearance of Madeleine McCann, the British child who went missing in 2007 in southern Portugal. The search around a dam some 50 kilometers from the Praia da Luz resort, where the 3-year-old girl was last seen 16 years ago, began Tuesday following a request by German authorities. A German man who is a suspect in the case is currently in jail in Germany for a different case. Some material has been collected and will be handed over to German authorities for examination.

Ongoing search for Madeleine McCann in Portugal continues after 16 years.

Police, assisted by German and British officers, searched a reservoir in southern Portugal in connection with the disappearance of British girl Madeleine McCann in 2007. The search was likely linked to photographs of the reservoir found at the hideout of German man Christian Brueckner, who was named by German prosecutors as an official suspect in McCann's disappearance. Brueckner, a convicted child abuser and drug dealer, is currently in prison for another crime. The case remains unsolved and no body has ever been found.

Police launch new search for Madeleine McCann at Portuguese dam.

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.
