Portuguese authorities on Monday resumed a search for missing Madeleine McCann – a British girl who went missing as a toddler from a 2007 family vacation in Praia da Luz.

Madeleine was abducted from the family's ground-floor apartment in the coastal, southern Portuguese city on May 3, 2007, when she was 3 years old.

Over the next several days in Portugal's Algarve region, police will conduct "new searches… at the request of the German Authorities" and with the "presence of British authorities," Portugal's Judiciary Police said in a translated statement.

Police are expected to provide more information once it becomes available.

In 2020, German authorities named Christian Brueckner, 45, as a suspect in Madeleine's disappearance. Brueckner continues to deny his involvement in the case.

Brueckner spent many years in Portugal, including in Praia da Luz, around the time of Madeleine’s disappearance.

Brueckner has been serving a seven-year sentence for raping a 72-year-old woman in 2005, Reuters reported. He was charged in 2022 for sex crimes against children that German authorities allege he committed in Portugal between 2000 and 2017.

Madeleine was born in May 2003 and would be turning 20 years old this month.

On May 3, Madeleine's parents, Kate and Gerry McCann, said in a statement marking 16 years since their daughter's disappearance that they await a "breakthrough" in the case. 

"Thank you to everyone for your support — it really helps," they said in the statement posted to the "Official Find Madeleine Campaign" Facebook page.

Madeleine's missing persons case received renewed attention this year after a Polish woman shared her belief that she could be the missing girl on social media – an idea that was later debunked by a DNA test.

A 20-year-old spearfisherman detailed his encounter with a bull shark in the Florida Keys last week as he recovers in a hospital from bite wounds to his leg.

The bull shark, as much as 10 feet long and weighing 500 pounds, "came out of nowhere" and chomped down on his leg twice while he was diving about 70 feet underwater, Kevin Blanco told WSVN-TV from his bed at Jackson South Medical Center in Miami.

"I’ve been in that same situation a lot of times, and they are usually afraid of us," Blanco said. "That one was not afraid of us. He wanted me. It was a scary event."

The shark attacked around 3 p.m. Thursday off the coast of Marathon, the Monroe County Sheriff's Office said in a news release. The victim was brought to shore by a private boat, and a medical helicopter landed on the Seven Mile Bridge to airlift him to the hospital.

"I’ve been in the water a very long time. I’ve never seen a shark act like this," Blanco said.

Doctors are working to keep Blanco’s wounds free from infection. He is expected to be released in less than a week.

Less than 36 hours after Blanco’s shark encounter, another shark bit a 35-year-old fisherman on the foot in Summerland Key, the sheriff’s office said.

The fisherman had reeled in the shark while fishing off a dock on Saturday. The shark was on the dock when it bit the man, the release said.
