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.

"Renewed Search for Madeleine McCann Brings Hope for Breakthrough"

Police have begun searching a reservoir in Portugal for the remains of Madeleine McCann, with one senior officer saying it could be the "best chance" in over a decade to find out what happened to the three-year-old girl. The search is focused on an area where Christian Brueckner, the prime suspect in the case, was thought to spend time. German and Portuguese police are investigating Brueckner, a convicted sex offender, but he has not been charged. It remains unclear why police are now searching the reservoir, but there are suggestions they have located video of Brueckner at the lake.
