Police conclude searches in Portugal in Madeleine McCann investigation

The search for Madeleine McCann in Portugal, spanning 18 years since her disappearance in 2007, has concluded after German and Portuguese investigators used advanced tools like ground-penetrating radar to explore an area near Praia da Luz. Despite no major discoveries, they found animal bones and materials from abandoned homes. The operation ended with a celebratory atmosphere, including a round of applause and the exchange of beers between officers. Meanwhile, Christian Brückner, a prime suspect, remains in custody for unrelated charges but could be released if no further evidence is found.
