Members of the media have for the first time been allowed inside a farmhouse where Ben Needham went missing 25 years ago, reported ITV on Wednesday morning.
It comes as forensic searches on Greece’s Kos entered a third day.
Detective Inspector Jon Cousins, from South Yorkshire Police, announced that there was no new update in the targeted search and that “nothing of significance” was found on Tuesday.
He added that the piece of fabric found on Monday remained an “item of interest”.
A 19-strong team of South Yorkshire Police officers, forensic specialists and an archaeologist have been scouring an arid stretch of farmland where 21-month-old Ben was playing a quarter of a century ago.
NEW TREE PLANTED
Police searching for Ben are also analysing a photograph taken shortly after the toddler vanished showing that a new tree had been planted, reported Mirror Online.
They made the discovery while looking at changes to trees and shrubs in the past 25 years.
Diggers are expected to excavate the area on Wednesday morning.
Cousins added that it had been an “excellent” day in their search for the little boy.
He said he was “very pleased” with the progress of the dig.
