The parents of missing
Madeleine McCann
have thanked everyone
who has supported them in the three years since their daughter vanished.
In a message on www.findmadeleine.com ,Kate and Gerry McCann said:
"We know we couldn't have achieved as much as we have without this help.
"Milestones and anniversaries are never easy, but the work to find our
little Madeleine will continue regardless, with the same determination
and tenacity as it always has and for as long as it takes.
"It might be
three
years without Madeleine but it certainly doesn't feel like
we're at the end of the line - far from it.
"Madeleine. Still missing, still missed, still looking!"
A new video and photograph of Madeleine have been released to mark the
third anniversary of her disappearance.
A short film shows her parents pursuing attempts to find their missing
child over the past three years.
It shows them handing out posters in
Portugal as well as chasing up leads from their home in Rothley,
Leicestershire.
It includes a new photograph of a grown up-looking Madeleine wearing
blue eye-shadow accompanied with a pink bow in her hair and a gold bead
necklace.
The video, produced by family friend
Jon Corner,
was originally shown at a fund-raising event in London in January to
mark the 1000th day since the little girl's disappearance.
With the Dido song Here With Me as a soundtrack, it begins with a
computer graphic of the holiday complex in
Praia da Luz
in the Algarve where
Madeleine vanished.
It goes on to show Mr and Mrs McCann in and around the resort in the
early days after their daughter went missing on May 3, 2007.
There are also scenes of the couple answering telephone calls and
sifting through emails back in Britain.
The film closes with the message: "Thank you for not giving up on
Madeleine. Together we can bring her home."
McCann family spokesman
Clarence Mitchell said: "The video is
designed to remind people that the search for Madeleine is ongoing.
"Just because she's not in the headlines every day doesn't mean nothing
is being done.
Kate and Gerry are still devoting a
large part of their daily lives to the search."
