A source said: “Image quoted in German police investigate Maddie’s disappearance to the reservoir.
“One of their focuses now is to close the net around Brueckner by showing through soil sample analysis that his truck was there.
“A positive fit of the land they had from the car with Earth they pulled out in the search last week will be another key piece of evidence against him.
“The search that took place last week would never have been requested and authorized if its engines were not well supported.”

German and Portuguese search teams spent several days in the area after a “very reliable” tip last month.

Christian B, 45, is considered a prime suspect in 2020.
