(CNN) Police in Germany are conducting a search near the city of Hanover as part of the Madeleine McCann investigation. Officers are searching a garden area near the city, Julia Meyer, a spokeswoman for the state prosecutor in Braunschweig, told CNN on Tuesday. McCann went missing in 2007 while on holiday in Portugal with her family. The long-running mystery of what happened to the missing toddler has captivated people around the world. In June, prosecutors in Braunschweig told CNN they had evidence that a man jailed for an unrelated crime had killed McCann -- but not enough to charge the suspect in court.
