Police in Portugal have ended the latest search for clues into the disappearance of Madeleine McCann, the British child who went missing in 2007 in southern Portugal.

Police searching for clues regarding the disappearance of Madeleine McCann, the British child who went missing in 2007 in Portugal, are concentrating operations in several areas around a dam including one where media reports say a lead suspect in the case often stayed.

Madeleine McCann was nearly 4 when she vanished in 2007 while her British family was on vacation in the town of Praia da Luz in the Algarve resort region of Portugal.

Portuguese police aided by German and British officers have resumed their search for Madeleine McCann, the British child who disappeared in the country’s southern Algarve region 16 years ago.

Portuguese police say they'll resume searching for Madeleine McCann, the British toddler who disappeared in the Algarve region in 2007, in the next few days.

A court says a German man who is also suspected in the disappearance of British toddler Madeleine McCann won’t go on trial before next year on charges related to a string of other sexual offenses he is alleged to have committed.

German prosecutors have charged a 45-year-old German man, who is also a suspect in the disappearance of British toddler Madeleine McCann, with several sexual offenses he is alleged to have committed in Portugal between 2000 and 2017.

The parents of Madeleine McCann, a British toddler who vanished from an apartment during her family’s vacation in Portugal 15 years ago and captured global interest, say they remain hopeful that efforts by police in three countries to solve the mystery will eventually bring answers.

Portuguese prosecutors are formally accusing a suspect in the investigation into Madeleine McCann, a 3-year-old British girl who disappeared almost 15 years ago while on a family vacation in the southern European country.

He was last registered living in Germany in the city of Braunschweig, which is about 70 kilometers (40 miles) from Hannover. At the garden plot, investigators even removed parts of the foundation of a former cabin from the ground that once stood there, dpa reported.

British police said on Wednesday June 3, 2020, a German man has been identified as a suspect in the case of a 3-year-old British girl who disappeared 13 years ago while on a family holiday in Portugal. U.K. and German authorities haven't named the suspect but said he is 43 and was in and around the Praia da Luz resort area on the Algarve coast at the time Madeleine McCann disappeared on May 3, 2007. Though numerous suspects have come to light in the case previously, family spokesman Clarence Mitchell said that it seems as if there is something different this time. Her parents say Madeleine disappeared after they had left her and her twin siblings asleep in their holiday complex while they had dinner with friends at a nearby restaurant. More than 600 people had been identified as being potentially significant, but officers were tipped off about the German suspect following a 2017 appeal, 10 years after the girl went missing.

Adidas has come under fire for a social media campaign which inadvertently led to the sportswear giant tweeting out racist, anti-Semitic and abusive terms to hundreds of thousands of followers. (CNN) - Adidas has come under fire for a social media campaign which inadvertently led to the sportswear giant tweeting out racist, anti-Semitic and abusive terms to hundreds of thousands of followers. But the stunt was hijacked by several users who changed their Twitter handles to include offensive terms. The incident also raises questions about why Twitter users were able to create racist and anti-Semitic handles, some of which appeared to use subtle misspellings in order to avoid detection. A Twitter campaign run by the New England Patriots in 2014 led to offensive names being branded on the back of the NFL team's jersey.
