Wow, that article seems a little bit more precise:

"Is this the end of a missing person case that sent the Republic into a frenzy? In Saxony-Anhalt, the police are
digging for the body of a girl at a certain location.
The police are investigating new leads in the Inga Gehricke case. Officials have been on duty near Stendal since Thursday morning digging for the child's remains.
Prosecutor Thomas Kramer confirmed the search to t-online. Appropriate police teams are on site searching for Inga in the ground. However, results are no longer expected on Thursday: "We are at the very beginning of the search effort and will proceed with utmost thoroughness and take the time necessary," he said.
Inga Gehricke case: Special search dogs were on the scene
The search is now on private property. It is a former military site. Digging is being done with shovels and spades, and a mini excavator is also available, said a spokesman for the Halle police station.
A few days ago, special dogs attacked the location near Uchtspringe in the Stendal district during a private search, prosecutor Kramer told t-online. As the “Volksstimme” reported, the dogs are said to be able to sniff out tiny amounts of human tissue.
Inga Gehricke disappeared on May 2, 2015. The then five-year-old girl from Schönebeck went on a trip to Wilhelmshof near Stendal with her family. To this day it is unclear what happened."
