"First made aware of the plans for ‘an action’ on May 7,
the Olive Press was told last Thursday that a search was ‘24 hours to 48 hours away’. We chose to stay quiet.
Coordinated between a female prosecutor in Portimao and her counterpart in Braunschweig, Hans Christian Wolters, around
10 German BKA detectives are working with over 20 Portuguese police and ‘up to five’ detectives from Operation Grange, in London.
Yesterday, police with sniffer dogs combed the edge of the reservoir, while divers entered the murky water.
During the course of the day
at least three sacks of materials dug up had been put in Ford Ranger SUVs, which had driven down from the BKA’s headquarters in Wiesbaden.
Sources claimed photos of main suspect Brueckner had appeared of him beside the lake, while
police were allegedly specifically looking for fibres of the pink pyjamas Madeleine was wearing on the night she vanished.
