Human bones thought to belong to missing child Alexandra Zito were found by fishermen at Praia do Beliche, in Sagres, on March 8 and are now being investigated by police.
Eighteen-month old Alexandra disappeared after her mother, Georgina Zito, was allegedly drowned by her lover, Gunnar Dorries, at Canavial beach in Lagos on July 10 last year.
The woman, 30, was on holiday in Lagos with Gunnar Dorries, 43, and their daughter Alexandra.

Three hours after leaving Canavial beach, Gunnar Dorries was seen at the Hotel Vila Galé in Meia Praia, where they had been staying, without the child.
According to the police, the bones could belong to Alexandra, whose murder is being attributed to Gunnar Dorries, who allegedly didn’t want to claim paternity of the child.
The German man was arrested on July 15 2010, when he arrived in Germany. He has been held in custody at Stadelheim prison in Munich since then.
Gunnar Dorries has denied any involvement in the disappearance and death of Alexandra.
Information about the origins of the bones will be revealed after experts from the Institute of Legal Medicine in Lisbon perform further analysis.
