The McCanns have moved ou |
Madeleine McCann's parents have moved out of the Portuguese holiday resort from
where their daughter was abducted - 60 days after she disappeared.
They have stayed at the Mark Warner Ocean Club resort in the Algarve town of Praia da Luz for
nearly two months, but the start of high season has meant they had to find
somewhere else to live.
Gerry and Kate McCann are now set to move into a private residence in the
Portuguese village, along with their two other children, twins Sean and Amelie.
"We have confirmed our new accommodation and will be moving in the next
few days," Mr McCann wrote on the Find Madeleine website.
"We seem to have acquired a lot more stuff, particularly the twins, with
lots of well wishers sending them toys.
Mr and Mrs McCann, from Rothley in Leicestershire, have said they plan to stay
in Portugal at least until
the end of the summer and are "determined" to come back to the UK
with their eldest child.
But leaving the holiday complex may be seen as the first sign that life is
starting to move on.
As Portuguese police continue to investigate the four-year-old's
disappearance, across the Spanish border judges have questioned a couple
suspected of trying to extort cash from the McCanns.
Danilo Chemello, a
61-year-old Italian man and Aurora Vaz Pereira, a
54-year-old Portuguese woman, made an initial appearance in a Madrid court two days after they were
arrested in a luxury complex in the South of Spain.
Portuguese police agents are reported to have followed Mr Chemello
to Madrid
with files of evidence.
Mr McCann said: "This appears to be a clear signal from European police
forces that they are treating all information relating to Madeleine's
disappearance very seriously."
Meanwhile, stolen photographs of Madeleine McCann are safely back
with her father after they were anonymously returned.
The pictures had been inside Gerry McCann's wallet when it was pick-pocketed at
Waterloo Station in London.
He later appealed to get them back.
The thief kept the pounds but sent the wallet to the McCann family home with 30
euros, credit cards and his driving licence still
inside, as well as the treasured photos.
The snaps of Madeleine, said to be her father's favourite photos of her,
included one of the missing girl at 15 months and another taken in church
shortly before her abduction. |
