HAMBURG, Germany (Reuters) - A German prosecutor played down hopes of an imminent breakthrough in the 16-year-old hunt for missing British girl Madeleine McCann on Thursday, as investigators spent a third day searching a reservoir in Portugal.
German authorities, who have named a suspect in the case, are helping Portuguese crews comb the remote area inland from the Algarve coastal resort where McCann - then aged three - went missing from her bedroom during a family holiday in 2007.
