The latest Madeleine McCann search has concluded
A three-day search this week for missing Madeleine McCann concluded today in Portugal - around 30 miles from where she went missing in 2007.
Police flattened a concentrated area of woodland and dug a number of holes near a remote reservoir in the country.
Huge piles of soil and broken rock were left next to the 160sq-ft area close to the banks of the Barragem do Arade, where officers were seen with shovels for a number of hours on Wednesday afternoon.
Portuguese police confirmed the search concluded on Thursday, and said materials had been sent to Germany for testing.
It has been reported today police had intended to find a gun and a camcorder at the site, which belonged to prime suspect Christian Brueckner.
