Portuguese media reports a reservoir about 23 kilometers from the place where Maddie disappeared will be searched from Tuesday. The initiative of the renewed search operation came from German authorities.
The main suspect in the investigation is said to have stayed at this remote reservoir more often in the past. He has a criminal record for sexual offences and lived regularly in the Algarve from 1995 to 2007. Currently, the suspect is serving a multi-year prison sentence following a final conviction for rape in Portugal in 2005.
