PRAIA DA LUZ, Portugal (AP) -- Police investigating the disappearance of Madeleine McCann on Monday cordoned off scrubland near the resort where the British girl vanished seven years ago.
A U.S. senator from New Jersey is urging the Portuguese government to return an American fugitive who escaped from a state prison in 1970 and spent more than 40 years on the lam before being captured in September in Portugal.
The U.S. Justice Department says it has appealed a Portuguese judge's decision not to extradite longtime fugitive George Wright back to the United States.
