What appeared to be a large brown evidence bag was seen being loaded into a police vehicle within an hour of the search’s resumption. Portuguese police sources – assisting German detectives who requested the dam search – said officers had been specifically asked to look out for any signs of cloth or fibres. And the revelation heightened unconfirmed speculation that teams were looking for remains of the pink pyjamas the three year-old British tot was wearing the night she vanished. Cops are working on a theory that German prime suspect Christian B snatched Madeleine, killed her and dumped her body at the beauty spot Any trace which could be linked to Madeleine found at the site could provide a crucial link to photographic evidence which placed Christian B close to the dam in 2007. Work at the start of day two focused on cutting back vegetation near the shoreline using strimmers to clear an area for search teams. Frogmen face the grim task of feeling their way through near-pitch black water in the search for evidence or human remains if they are deployed today. A drought has lowered the water levels at the reservoir, with the worst dry spell in years seen as key to the cops securing a breakthrough. Sources close to the investigation said they were led there by “credible” new information — and that there were signs the dragnet could finally nail German prime suspect Christian B. Christian B, 45, is known to have regularly parked his yellow and white VW camper van in a car park close to the water’s edge — a 45-minute drive away.

Police raided the site south-east of Hanover in February 2016, searching for the body of missing five-year-old Inga Gehricke, who vanished while on a family outing in Saxony-Anhalt in May 2015. Detectives discovered more than 8,000 images and videos on USB sticks and hard drives filled with vile child abuse images. Some have now been linked to the dam site. Christian B is in jail for the 2005 rape of a US pensioner in Praia da Luz.  His lawyer Freidrich Fulscher insists he had no involvement in the McCann case. Asked about the latest events, he scoffed: “Let them search — it’s good weather down there.” Christian B is the prime suspect in the disappearance of Madeleine
