Madeleine McCann news – latest: Investigators set to widen search after new photos reveal ‘clues’

Investigators are set to widen the search for Madeleine McCann after photos belonging to prime suspect Christian Brueckner revealed ‘clues’. Two other areas surrounding Praia da Luz, where Madeleine disappeared in 2007, could be searched by police, the Sun reported. Investigators made the discovery after looking through more than 8,000 photographs belonging to Brueckner. A source told the Sun: “German officers have gone through more than 8,000 pictures belonging to Christian B. That forensic work led them to Barragem - but there are other places that have come up in the pictures too. “Detectives are seeking to work out where they are and why Christian B was taking pictures of those places.” Last week police searched the remote Barragem do Arade reservoir in the Algarve, Portugal, around 35 miles from where the then-three-year-old went missing. The office of German prosecutor Christian Wolters said investigators were acting in response to “certain tips”. The reservoir is known to have been frequented by the latest suspect in the case Christian Brueckner. According to Portuguese broadcaster SIC, the suspect considered the area his “little slice of paradise”.
