Madeleine’s parents angry at grave news
(Irish examiner headline)

The parents of missing Madeleine McCann put on a
brave face as they tried to play down claims that their daughter lies buried
near where she was kidnapped.
Portuguese detectives spent the day trying to verify an anonymous letter which
said the four-year-old was hidden in scrubland only nine miles from Praia da Luz where she was snatched 42 days ago.
Kate and Gerry McCann carried on as normal, taking care of two-year-old twins
Sean and Amelie and collecting a friend from Faro airport.
It is understood they do not believe the claim to be significant.
But the couple from Rothley in Leicestershire were furious that Dutch newspaper
De Telegraaf printed the allegation before Portuguese
police had a chance to investigate.
Mr McCann, 39, said the Policia Judiciara (PJ) had no time to examine its
credibility or consider searching the area before the revelations were made
public.
Describing the move as "insensitive and cruel", Mr McCann said he and
his wife Kate were deeply upset by what had happened.
Speculation surrounding the case reached fever pitch after rocky ground north
of the village of
Odiaxere
was highlighted as a possible crime scene.
Television crews, photographers and journalists poured into the area but there
was no sign of a formal search.
PJ spokesman Olegario Sousa said police were taking
the claim seriously but insisted it was one of a number of leads they were
looking at. He said they could only start searching an area if they had a
precise location. |
