Kate McCann has revealed how she
desperately wants to know what’s
happened to missing daughter Madeleine -
even if there is a tragic end to the
mystery.
Kate, 46, said she still longed for the
return of her daughter nearly seven
years to the day after Madeleine went
missing while on holiday with her family
in Portugal.
But in an interview with The Sun last
night, she said: "I just want to know if
she's alive or dead.
"We obviously want Madeleine back number
one — but we do want an answer,
whatever.
"I have spent days thinking, ‘What would
you rather?
"Not know, or find out something you
didn't want to hear?’
"Obviously our ultimate hope is that we
find Madeleine and she comes home and we
re-establish her into our family and
spend the next few years of her life
getting it all as good as it can be."
She added: "I'm not underestimating the
blow of hearing bad news that your child
had been killed, because obviously
you're not going to go, ‘OK at least we
know’.
"But I've spent hours thinking about
that and, each time, I still come up
thinking we need to know.
"Regardless, we need to know."
Kate and husband Gerry, 45, hope a Met
Police probe could lead to Madeleine,
who would now be 10, being found alive
and well.
Kate was speaking three days ahead of
the seventh anniversary of Madeleine’s
disappearance to promote the launch of
the Child Rescue Alert system.
The system sends out texts and emails if
a child is kidnapped, or missing and
thought to be in danger.
Last week the Mirror revealed that
British detectives investigating
Madeleine's disappearance fear local
Portuguese police could unwittingly be
sitting on vital forensic evidence. |
