"Updates on Madeleine McCann's Family and Ongoing Search"

The case of Madeleine McCann, the British toddler who disappeared from a Portuguese holiday resort 16 years ago, has resurfaced as investigators launched a major search operation at a reservoir in the Algarve. The girl’s parents, Kate and Gerry McCann, have refused to give up hope, recently posting a poem remembering their lost daughter on their Find Madeleine website, reminding readers that she is “still missing... still very much missed”. The McCanns were interviewed as “arguidos” (suspects) by the Portuguese authorities in September 2007, with the parents told that police dogs had discovered DNA evidence from the missing girl in the boot of their holiday rental car. They vehemently denied the accusations against them and subsequently launched a libel action against one of the detectives who had gone on to write a book about the case.
