Portuguese police are now using sniffer dogs in a woodland near the reservoir that was being search for evidence in the disappearance of Madeleine McCann
Investigators believe the 45-year-old killed Madeleine, then aged three, after abducting her from a holiday apartment.
"I can't disclose the background at the moment, like why we are searching there and what we hope to find there. That shall remain our secret for the moment." German prosecutor Hans Christian Wolters has consistently said he is convinced Madeleine is dead and caged paedophile Brueckner, 45, has been named as the sole suspect.
Last April he was made an official suspect, or arguido, in Portugal over Madeleine’s disappearance, although his defence lawyer Friedrich Fulscher labelled it a “procedural trick” linked to statute of limitations legislation at the time.
