One of two new posters being released by the Find Madeleine Campaign which show Madeleine McCann as she was aged three, and how she might look now, aged six.
Madeleine McCann disappeared on the evening of Thursday, 3 May 2007 while on holiday with her parents and twin siblings in the Algarve region of Portugal. The fool story of this drama you can easily find by yourself, there are lots of information about the case.
There were five separate sightings of a potential suspect connected to the disappearance of Madeleine McCann, according to British detectives hired by the family to find their missing daughter. The other two were of a man observed carrying a sleeping girl, who was not wearing shoes, away from the holiday complex.
More than £100,000 has been spent by the Find Madeleine Fund on translating the documents released by the official Portuguese police inquiry. Former detective inspector Dave Edgar, who served with the Royal Ulster Constabulary and the Cheshire force, and former detective sergeant Arthur Cowley, from Merseyside police, are reinvestigating the crime.
In the programme, Madeleine’s mother, Kate, is seen talking to the two detectives, saying: “So it looks like we have got five sightings really. Two [of] a man with a child and three just a suspicious individual.”
Edgar replies: “There’s three of exactly the same location. I don’t know what the Portuguese authorities have done to eliminate these people from the inquiry. So we have to presume they haven’t done it and go with that.”
As a former policeman, Edgar’s view is that: “Abduction is the most likely motive, most likely done by an individual who has close links with Praia da Luz.”
