Thirty investigators currently engaged in the hunt for Maddie in Portugal
Get the latest scoop on a new search for Madeleine McCann, who vanished at the tender age of three back in 2007. Thirty investigators, including German officials, are diving headfirst into this historic case at the behest of the German judiciary. The investigation is centered on three Portuguese regions due to previously undisclosed videos and images, according to reports in the media.
The search for potential signs of little Maddie begins in the sunny south of Portugal. Over the past few days, the area around Lagos — a beloved holiday destination linked to the German suspect Christian B. — has been under the spotlight. This investigation is expected to run through Friday. The motivating factors behind this search revolve around newly unearthed videos and images that purportedly tie Christian B. to Maddie's disappearance.
Suspicions and Solutions
The focus of the search effort is primarily on Praia da Luz, the very spot where Maddie mysteriously vanished on May 3, 2007, as well as Lagos and the nearby territory of Atalaia above Rocha Negra. Investigators lean towards the theory that Maddie was abducted and met with a tragic end. Despite deep searches, no body has ever been discovered.
The Technology of Discovery
The German officials are employing advanced technology to aid their efforts, including ground radar that can detect hidden structures beneath the soil. This cutting-edge tool will prove instrumental in their quest for any possible evidence. Christian B. had been to the area around the time of the unsolved crime, and his former residence is also on the radar for potential searches.
The Unfolding Investigation
According to the latest reports, "criminal procedural measures" are currently underway in Portugal, as part of the broader investigation into the McCann case. As of now, no additional details are being disclosed. Christian B. is currently incarcerated for a rape in Portugal and could potentially be released by the beginning of 2026.
In a recent encounter, an RTL/ntv reporter visited Christian B. in prison and found him to be well-prepared and determined in maintaining his silence about the case. His legal team had advised him against making any statements at this time. The hunt for Maddie continues, with every stone turned and every possible lead scrutinized. Stay tuned for further developments in this breathtaking tale.
