Madeleine McCann Search: Police Focus on Vast Area Near Praia da Luz

The renewed search for Madeleine McCann, missing since 2007, is focusing on a 21-square-kilometer area near Praia da Luz, Portugal. German authorities have identified Christian Brückner as their prime suspect. BBC correspondent Phil Mackie reported from the site, describing the challenging terrain: "This whole area of scrubland...is quite desolate. There are many derelict farm buildings dotted all over the place." The search is significant due to Brückner's past association with the area and the time elapsed since McCann's disappearance. The challenges of the search are amplified by the overgrown vegetation from a wet spring, according to Mackie. This extensive search represents a renewed effort to find answers in this long-standing case.
