The hunt for Madeleine McCann is back on (FindMadeleine) |
Her parents, Kate and Gerry McCann, said they are 'grateful' that
officials will review the details of her disappearance from Praia da Luz
in the Algarve in May 2007. The original investigation was ditched just
over a year later.
Rogerio Alves, a lawyer acting on behalf of Mr and Mrs McCann, said he
believes the police may have received information that is worthy of
reopening the case.
'There is something that aroused enough interest from the Portuguese and
British police to warrant this review in search of new clues,' he
explained, adding: 'The most plausible explanation is that information
passed to or acquired by the Judicial Police has put them on the trail
of something specific.'
He urged police not to give up on the hope of finding Madeleine alive or
identifying her captor.
Although police have so far promised only to review the case, there are
hopes they will officially reopen it in due course.
A team of detectives has been put together that will be based in
northern Portugal and will look through every aspect of the original
investigation. |
