Investigators looking for new clues relating to Madeleine McCann's disappearance found two buried guns near the resort where she vanished from, it has been revealed.
German authorities who flew to Portugal last week launched fresh searches through Atalaia - a stretch of scrubland littered with rubbish and graffiti-covered buildings linked by a network of dusty tracks known in Portuguese as the Fisherman's Trail.
Connecting Praia da Luz with the nearby town of Lagos, the track is a popular hiking route for tourists, but for several days last week it was cordoned off for members of the BKA - Germany's equivalent of the FBI - to conduct searches.
Olive Press reported that the two firearms have now been sent back to Germany for analysis, along with bone fragments and 'bits of old adult clothing.'
But not everyone is happy with how the operation, estimated to have cost £300,000, went.
