German Police Find Objects in Connection to Madeleine McCann's Disappearance

German police announced that they have found several objects during a search of the Arade reservoir in Portugal in connection with the disappearance of Madeleine McCann.

The items are being analyzed, but it is too early to confirm whether they are connected to the missing Briton.

Portuguese police helped by German counterparts searched the reservoir last week, and the investigation into a 46-year-old German national, Christian Brueckner, who has been named as an arguido, is expected to continue for some time.

The search came at the request of German investigators who believe Brueckner is the prime suspect in Madeleine's disappearance and is serving a prison sentence for the 2005 rape of a woman on the Algarve.

He lived in the region between 1995 and 2007 and is thought to have often traveled in his Volkswagen T3 camper van to the reservoir, which is known to have been used as an unofficial camping spot.
