A new search relating to the disappearance of Madeleine McCann took place this week (June 3 to June 5), close to where she went missing in Praia da Luz 18 years ago. Images taken by the Mirror show inside the abandoned farm buildings where search teams scoured through thick scrubland and empty buildings.

The initial Portuguese investigation failed to preserve the scene adequately, so the opportunity to gather forensic evidence from Madeline McCann's room at the Ocean Club was lost. Long-term residents remember joining in uncoordinated and ad-hoc searches of the town.
