New searches for Madeleine McCann are to be carried out around the holiday resort where the child was last seen, it has been reported.
Land and a lake within a large radius of the Ocean Club Holiday resort in Praia da Luz - where the child vanished on May 3rd - are to be examined.
The areas to be covered include the coast between Praia da Luz and the village of Burgau, land between the Ocean Club and the beach, and the forests and isolated villas around the Bravura dam in Odiaxere, according to newspaper reports.
The land was searched early on in the investigation, but it is believed searches there were not extensive.
Officers are reportedly planning to examine spots where Madeleine McCann's parents, Gerry and Kate, and their friends, used their mobile phones.
Gerry and Kate were declared official suspects last month after tests on DNA samples found in their hire car were taken as suggesting the daughter's body had been transported in the vehicle.
Robert Murat, the first person to be declared an official suspect over Madeleine's disappearance, has urged Portuguese police to clear him of suspicion.
