Police to Test Clothes and Bone Fragments in New Search for Madeleine McCann
- German and Portuguese police conducted a three-day search at Atalaia near Praia da Luz to find new evidence in Madeleine McCann's 2007 disappearance.
- The search was prompted by German authorities naming Christian Brueckner, a convicted rapist living locally at the time, as their prime suspect since 2020.
- Investigators uncovered bone fragments and clothing samples during the dig, which were sent to Germany for forensic testing though no definitive links have been made.
- Braunschweig prosecutor Hans Christian Wolters described the search as "very productive," but officers acknowledged limited progress after 18 years without solid clues.
- The findings could potentially advance the investigation if tests reveal connections to Madeleine's disappearance, but no breakthrough has yet been confirmed.
