Sunday Express; says; 'Madeleine Police To Resume Search':Police investigating the disappearance of Madeleine McCann in Portugal are due to resume their search at the home of the only official suspect in the case. About 10 police officers, including two from Britain, began searching the land surrounding the house of Robert Murat on Saturday.

British and Portuguese police were last night digging up the garden of Madeleine suspect Robert Murat following a dramatic dawn raid. A team of officers divided the plot into segments and began hacking back hedges, clearing undergrowth and digging after storming the property at 7am. Murat, 33, wasn't warned about the search, and was told to immediately leave the villa he shares with his mother Jennifer.
A police source said last night: "This isn't just part of a routine review of evidence. Officers are acting on specific new information. Madeleine's parents Gerry and Kate knew the raid was going to take place, but it was important Robert Murat wasn't warned."
Two senior British detectives flew into Praia da Luz last Saturday after Portuguese police requested their assistance. They stormed Murat's house - just 100 yards from where Madeleine was snatched - yesterday alongside eight Portuguese officers. Six police cars surrounded the house. The forensic team began a fingertip search for clues. They taped off and numbered sections of the garden before searching them systematically.
Murat left with his mother, who owns the property, and went to his lawyer's offices. Murat's friend Tuck Price said yesterday: "The police arrived at about 7am. Robert was in the house with his mum Jennifer and let the officers in. They said they wanted to search the garden and went straight through to the back.

Here is the news story linked ... I add it here but I am not concerned about the really gruesome way this tabloid story has been reported. I feel the entire things is a macabre smokescreen. I've perused over the Sol report and read the recent news stories and find it to be only part of 'the confusion', with this story appearing at the same time there is a supposed 100% sighting elsewhere. It is deliberate confusion. A smokescreen like no other in truth. Someone somewhere is presenting the possibles on the eve of a cover story. Perhaps the public reaction is being tested.

POLICE have begun a grim search for the body of Madeleine McCann. In a dramatic new development 10 detectives, including two from Britain, sealed off the home of prime suspect Robert Murat – just yards from where the four-year-old was snatched 93 days ago. The move was a bitter blow for her parents Gerry and Kate who had just been given fresh hope that she might be alive following reported sightings of their daughter in Belgium.Police launched their raid on ex-patriate Briton Murat’s whitewashed villa in Praia da Luz, Portugal at dawn – bringing in industrial chainsaws to fell trees and clear undergrowth at the rear of the property.
A forensic team was last night poised to start a second search of Casa Liliana, which Murat shares with his mother Jenny, who owns it. In macabre scenes piles of rubble and branches were cleared as the search team worked through the day preparing to dig up the grounds. The development follows the arrival of a squad of “Cracker-style” criminal profilers from Britain who flew into the Algarve to take control of an investigation critics feared had stalled.
It is believed the search was mounted after the two British detectives analysed details of the first search of the property and decided it had not been sufficiently extensive.
