VIDEO: JOURNALIST: SEARCH ‘UNLIKELY’ TO FIND MADELEINE MCCANN

It is “extremely unlikely” that detectives investigating the disappearance of Madeleine McCann will find anything this week, the publisher of a local newspaper has said. Paul Luckman said searches on scrubland in Praia da Luz, close to where the youngster was last seen, had come as a “surprise” and had not left residents happy as the world’s media descends on the small Algarve resort once again. Mr Luckman, who publishes The Portugal News, said two other sites have also been approved for officers to potentially dig up, including one on wasteland close to the holiday apartment where the McCann family were staying in May 2007.
