Madeleine McCann search continues in reservoir after tip
An “underworld” tipster pointed private investigators to a reservoir outside of where the McCann family vacationed in Portugal, claiming the little girl had been raped and murdered and dumped there.
Correia said contacts told him that the girl was raped, murdered and her body dumped within 48 hours of her disappearance, the Daily Mail reported.
The lawyer said he believed she was killed, weighted down and thrown from a pumping tower into the reservoir, the paper said.
“I am convinced this is the place. It’s not overlooked, it has easy access by car and if you threw the body from the tower the water is 55-feet deep there,” Correia told the Daily Mail. “The divers have already found a cord tied in knots down there, right below the tower. I have given it to the police.”
Six divers found an approximately 5-yard-long piece of nylon cord in their search, the Daily Mail reported.
