Watch: The Clock is Ticking on the Madeleine McCann Search

Lagos, Portugal is the site of an ongoing search for missing 3-year-old Madeleine McCann, who disappeared in 2007 while on vacation with her family in the Algarve. The BBC's Phil Mackie reports that investigators are racing against the clock, as their search extends across a 8.1 sq mile site between where the toddler went missing and the location of the German investigators' prime suspect, Christian Brückner. Brückner, a 48-year-old suspect has been serving a sentence in Germany for the rape of a tourist in Portugal in 2005, and could be released as early as September.

Investigators only have until Friday to search the expansive site.
