'We can still find missing Maddie' says Gerry McCann

MADELEINE McCann’s dad told yesterday how he has “real hope” she will be found alive, after British police launched their own inquiry

Police and her parents are hopeful that Maddie is still alive

Heart specialist Gerry McCann, 45, said he was “delighted” the Metropolitan Police had opened an investigation into her disappearance.

Officers took the decision after they spent two years reviewing original case files compiled by police in Portugal and Leicestershire plus private detectives.

Gerry and wife Kate, 45, have been buoyed by the public declaration by Det Chief Insp Andy Redwood that he had found no evidence Madeleine was dead.


The McCanns are encouraged by the case review

“I'm not going to accept my child’s dead unless there’s absolutely conclusive proof. We have always lived in the hope that we could find Madeleine”
Gerry McCann

Her dad said: “It is very important to us, naturally. Not a day goes by when we don’t think about Madeleine.

“As Andy Redwood said, and I’m sure every single parent would agree, you’re not going to accept your child’s dead unless there’s absolutely conclusive proof.

“So we have always lived in the hope that we could find Madeleine. Given the number of cases of children who have been taken and found many years later, there is real hope.

“We knew there were lots and lots of leads that needed to be followed up.”

Madeleine, then aged three, vanished from the family’s holiday apartment in Praia da Luz, Portugal, in May 2007 while her parents dined with pals nearby.

Portuguese police, who were assisted by officers from the McCanns’ home force in Leicestershire, archived the case as an unsolved mystery.

But earlier this month the Met, which started reviewing the investigation following a personal plea from the McCanns to the Prime Minister, said the operation had thrown up “new evidence, new witnesses, new thinking and new theories”.

Officers have identified 38 potential suspects in five countries, 12 of them Brits.

Gerry is taking part in the London Triathlon on Sunday to raise money for Missing People.

His wife, an ambassador for the charity, raised more than £21,000 with her London Marathon run.

greenink, thank you for the link, I have also spread it to everyone I know, I urge everyone to do the same.

Thanks, Greenink, doubtless the very thought of Madeleine being alive will set the Amaral supporters off again.

The Haters are just too much sometimes. I don't expect them to hope that Madeleine is still alive. But why do they have to hope so desperately that she is dead?
They really are foul and disgusting creatures.
