With an attitude like this is it any wonder the Portuguese were unable to solve this case…?
The Portuguese police will carry out a search on Tuesday (23) in a dam where the body of Madeleine McCann , an English girl who was 3 years old when she disappeared, in 2007, during vacation in the country, may be.
The Portuguese police had not done anything to try to investigate the case for years. This operation, in fact, only happens under pressure from German authorities.
A spokesman for the fire department said the search should begin at a dam in the Algarve region, about 50 kilometers away from the resort where Madeleine's family was vacationing when the girl disappeared.
Two tents were erected near the dam this Monday, in the city of Silves.
Despite being preparing for the operation, the Portuguese authorities say, on condition of anonymity, that they have no hope of finding Madeleine's body. A person linked to the investigations in Portugal who asked not to be identified told Reuters that the search will lead to nothing.
