On Tuesday, police from Portugal and Germany commenced extensive searches in the Algarve region of southern Portugal as part of an ongoing investigation into the 2007 disappearance of three-year-old British girl Madeleine McCann.
Nearly 20 years after her vanishing, authorities in the UK, Portugal, and Germany continue to work collaboratively to unravel the circumstances surrounding that fateful night in Praia da Luz. At that time, Madeleine was staying with her siblings in their holiday apartment while their parents, Kate and Gerry McCann, dined with friends nearby.
The investigation remains a high priority for law enforcement as they strive to uncover new evidence.
