Police Launch New Search For Madeleine McCann Near Suspect’s Former Home In Portugal
Tomorrow, new police searches are scheduled to begin in the area where Madeleine McCann was last seen.
According to reports, German authorities requested the searches, which are anticipated to occur between a home near the vacation spot where main suspect Christian Brueckner once resided and Praia da Luz, where the three-year-old went missing on May 3, 2007.
According to a reliable Portuguese source, this week’s operation is set to start tomorrow, albeit some preparatory work might be done first.
He said, “They will be land searches only. The main objective is to look for any signs of Madeleine’s body.”
According to sources, the searches will be conducted on around 20 privately held parcels of property close to a dilapidated rental home on the outskirts of Praia da Luz, where Brueckner lived for a number of years prior to 2007.
One said: “The search will take place on 21 privately-owned pieces of land which in some cases are open and not fenced off. Wells, ruins and water storage tanks will be searched.”
It is believed that after the search was authorised by the nation’s judicial authorities in response to an official request from German police and prosecutors, Portuguese police consented to assist.
If nothing significant turns up, the search should take about three days.
After a nearly week-long operation involving Portuguese, German, and police officials at a rural dam 40 minutes by car from Praia da Luz, this will be the first search in Portugal in over two years.
The searches in May 2023 at Arade Dam, an ‘area of interest’ that Brueckner reportedly called his ‘little paradise’, came to nothing.
It’s unclear if investigators are responding to a fresh tip regarding Madeleine’s possible location.
Forensic specialists, who also participated in the Arade Dam searches in May 2023, are anticipated to be part of the German police team.
These were the first significant searches for Madeleine McCann in Portugal in nine years, after British police were authorised to conduct digs in Praia da Luz in June 2014 using ground-penetrating radar and sniffing dogs trained to find bodies.
When Madeleine died at a break-in and her body was hidden nearby by burglars, the digs were connected to the most popular police theory in the UK at the time.
Additionally, they were unable to provide any proof of the missing child’s location.
In July 2020, Portuguese police and firefighters conducted a smaller operation in which they searched three wells for Madeleine’s body, but they were unable to locate her.
Christian Brueckner, the prime suspect, is still incarcerated in Germany, where he is serving a seven-year sentence for rape.
After allegedly being charged with fresh charges against prison guards behind bars, the 48-year-old convicted paedophile may have his dreams of being released from jail in September dashed.
Although he has denied any role in the girl’s 2007 disappearance, he is being investigated in the McCann case on suspicion of kidnapping and murder.
The convicted paedophile has not been charged, despite German investigators taking the unprecedented step of designating him as a suspect in the case.
After being found not guilty of unrelated sexual charges in court last October after a trial, Brueckner’s prison sentence is scheduled to expire this September, which is significantly earlier than the prosecutors had planned.
As the convicted rapist approaches the end of his term, he is no longer being kept in solitary confinement.
Prosecutors are under increasing pressure to arrest Brueckner as his parole approaches because of shocking disclosures in a Channel 4 documentary and evidence discovered at a disused factory that authorities believe could connect him to Maddie’s kidnapping.
A disgusting catalogue of corrupt paperwork, children’s clothes, miniature bikes, and over 75 bikinis and toys thought to be belonging to young girls are among the items found at a former box factory in Germany.
According to reports, some were interred beneath Brueckner’s dead dog’s body, which was dug up during the police search.
According to a source who spoke to The Sun, “the clock is against the case here and investigators do not want to see Brueckner walk free.”
“Their best option could be intervention from UK cops but they have to be prepared to take it on. There are 20,000 pages of Madeleine evidence and the Germans are ready to translate the lot.”
In May 2023, officers searched the vicinity of the Arade Dam in Silves, but their inquiry yielded no noteworthy results.
The location is roughly forty-five minutes from Praia da Luz, where Madeleine disappeared when she was three years old in 2007.
It was the first such operation of its kind since British police were authorised to use ground-penetrating radar and sniffer dogs trained in body detection to dig in Praia da Luz in June 2014.
German police concluded that the dam was ‘an area of interest’ and made an official legal request to Portugal to obtain authorisation to search it, according to Portuguese television SIC.
