Police in Portugal are again searching for Madeleine McCann, the British three-year-old who disappeared while on vacation with her family in 2007.

The active search began Tuesday in a reservoir around the area of the Arade dam, about 50 kilometres from Praia da Luz in southern Portugal where McCann vanished 16 years ago. The search was requested by German police, who claimed a suspect in the case visited the area around the time McCann disappeared.

German native Christian Brückner was named a suspect in 2022 after German authorities said “new evidence” connected Brückner to McCann. Portuguese media said this is the fourth search for McCann, following the initial one in 2007 in the Algarve area and then two more in 2013 and 2014. Another search was held in Germany in 2020.

Former head of child exploitation and online protection centre Jim Gamble reflected on this update, saying that “the German prosecutor and the German police have a suspect, a credible suspect they have some information that they are not sharing with the wider public and that of course is the right thing to do."
