German police looking for Madeleine McCann's body are about to begin a major search of a remote Algarve reservoir that suspect Christian Brueckner used to visit.

Madeleine was aged three when she disappeared from a holiday apartment in Praia da Luz in Portugal on May 3, 2007. Brueckner, 45, who has reportedly denied any involvement in Madeleine’s disappearance, was identified as a murder suspect in the McCann case by Portuguese officials in June 2020.
