The Spanish detective agency Método 3 has said that some bones found in a plastic bag at the bottom of a lake in Portugal are not those of the missing British youngster Madeleine McCann. The Portuguese Judicial Police confirmed that the bones are from a small animal.A search had been carried out in Arade reservoir all last week by seven divers who were working for the Portuguese lawyer, Marcos Aragao Correia. The lawyer has been working by himself at his own expense for more than a month in the search for Madeleine, and had said that he is 99% certain that the girl is dead, and that her body was thrown into the reservoir which is found some 40 kms from the apartment where the McCann family were staying in Praia da Luz last May 3. He now says he will abandon his search in the area, as he no longer has the resources to continue. He says he decided to start his own search after receiving some clues in the case three days after Madeleine vanished, and that his line of investigation coincides with that of the Spanish detective agency contracted by the McCanns.
