Portuguese police begin searches for Madeleine McCann at the bottom of the Arade swamp. The site, dubbed by the main suspect Christian Brueckner as "my little paradise," was already inspected in 2008 by six divers in an operation paid for by Marcos Aragao Correia.
The divers found bones, which turned out to be "non-human," and filled two large plastic bags with objects that failed to serve as evidence in the disappearance. It is not known what new lead has brought the Portuguese, German and British investigators back to the same stage after 15 years.
