Police hunting for Madeleine McCann have shared an upsetting update following a search of a lake in Portugal.
Back in May, officers from Germany and Portugal were joined by the Met Police as they searched a lake frequented by prime suspect Christian B.
At the time, police were seen taking away items in evidence bags. However, more than a month on from the three-day search, police chiefs in Germany have now issued an update.
Madeleine McCann police issue lake update
According to a report in The Sun, German detectives found “no compelling evidence” that Madeleine’s body is in the lake.
Christian B once referred to the lake as his “little paradise”. However, it’s now thought there is no concrete evidence that he dumped Madeleine in the area.
The search came after a tip-off that Christian B had been seen at the lake a few days after Madeleine disappeared from her holiday apartment in May 2007.
At the time of the search, a Portuguese newspaper claimed “relevant evidence” had been found at the lake. However, German prosecutor Hans Christian Wolters has said an announcement on the case is imminent.
However, he warned: “Please don’t expect too much.”
Find Madeleine Campaign breaks silence
Just hours before the latest news, the Find Madeleine Campaign on Facebook posted on social media.
Jumping on a new way of contacting people who could potentially have information as to Madeleine‘s whereabouts, the campaign has joined Threads.
Sharing a QR code, it posted: “We are on Theads. Come join us there.”
However, supporters feared the post was a scam, contacting the charity with their concerns. One said: “This looks a bit dodgy. Is it a scam.”
However, the Find Madeleine Campaign replied and offered reassurances. “This is not a scam. If you are on Instagram, just click on the Threads icon on our account. It will take you to Threads.”
