The father of missing Madeleine McCann has said he is "100%
confident" his wife had nothing to do with his daughter's disappearance.
Gerry McCann used his blog on the official Find Madeleine website to speak of the
"unending nightmare" of the past week.
In an emotionally-charged blog entry, he wrote: "We always hoped that we
would not have to return without Madeleine and could never have imagined the
possibility that we would do so as suspects in our own daughter's
disappearance.
"The pain and turmoil we have experienced in this last week is totally
beyond description.
"Kate and I are totally 100% confident in each other's innocence, and our
family and friends have rallied round unflinchingly to support us."
Since setting up the findmadeleine.com website, Mr McCann has regularly used
his blog to hit back at criticism of the couple.
He wrote that he could not comment on any details of the investigation, police
interviews or the evidence that detectives put to them.
"Despite the anguish and extreme distress this has caused all of our
family, long term no-one will be able to doubt how intensely Kate and I have
been scrutinised," he wrote.
"We have absolute confidence that, when all of the facts are presented together,
we will be able to demonstrate that we played absolutely no part in Madeleine's
abduction.
"Our primary concern has always been the search for Madeleine and this
aspect, that our daughter is still missing, must remain a priority for the
investigation."
On a positive note, the couple's twins Sean and Amelie have "settled
straight back in" to life in Britain, he said.
Mr McCann continued: "We have had numerous visitors with friends and those
in official capacities.
"We have appointed solicitors to advise us and assist our Portuguese
lawyer in preparing our defence against any possible charges.
"The sooner this is done, the sooner we can concentrate fully on trying to
find Madeleine, which is the most important thing through this unending
nightmare." |
