Madeleine McCann's mum ploughs £1m from book sales into search for missing daughter
19 Jan 2013 00:00
She ploughed the money into the search fund for her missing daughter which had run dangerously short of cash
Mum Kate McCann made more than £1million last year from her book about vanished Madeleine.
She ploughed the money into the search fund for her daughter which had run dangerously short of cash.
The fund’s directors said: “Income from the book has significantly improved the position.
"This will continue as a result of publication in other countries and the release of the paperback.”
Official accounts show the bestseller which came out in May 2011 netted £738,487 after tax.
Madeleine’s Fund hit £1.8million shortly after the three-year-old vanished from her family’s holiday flat in Praia da Luz, Portugal, in May 2007.
But by 2011, after four years of fruitless searching, it had dwindled to £125,000.
Kate and husband Gerry, both 44, from Rothley, Leicestershire, feared they might be unable to carry on the hunt.
But official papers filed with Companies House show all Kate’s book cash went to the fund.
And after a large percentage was spent on the continuing search and costly ad campaigns the remaining total now stands at £474,867.
The fund report revealed it was no longer paying private investigators in Portugal after Scotland Yard announced a major cold case review.
The McCanns hope this will lead to Portuguese authorities reopening their inquiries.
The report added: “The fund scaled back independent efforts to avoid duplication.
“It maintains sizeable resources so the search can be resumed quickly should the review not lead to the reopening of the case in Portugal.

I pray one day her efforts will bear fruit and she will hold Madeleine in her arms again.

Same story here:

Predictably, the hatertrolls are spamming it with their usual abuse.

got it on fb fred -- i never get anything posted on the mail --- but a bit of arrow bmping might help
There they go, organising the hatespam. And if their abuse slips through because the mods are having lunch, they will slither back to their home hate sites to post their own comments and announce, Tick tock, the tide is turning.
Same old, same old.

Where is all this 'support' they supposedly have? The comments are not good.

you can register using any name you like and a disposable email address ( hotmail is ideal) my comment wasn't posted last time i looked regarding them trying to come to an agreement with Goncalo Amaral and also the suits involving Tony Bennet and Pat brown
Might have known knobhead would be trying his luck.
