Madeleine McCann jigsaw is coming together
THE parents of missing Madeleine McCann yesterday spoke of their “renewed energy and continued hope” of finding their daughter.
In a Christmas message on the family’s website, Kate and Gerry McCann posted a jigsaw picture of Madeleine with the question: “Do you hold the missing piece of the puzzle?”
“It’s Christmas – again,” the couple wrote. “A time of mixed emotions for our family and many others in similar positions around the world. A time to hold together.” They added: “The year has ended on a positive note. Our search for Madeleine and the Metropolitan Police review of the case are progressing well.”
The couple, from Rothley, Leicestershire, welcomed the Government’s new Missing Children and Adults’ Strategy and thanked those who had campaigned for it. They ended: “This Christmas, please keep Madeleine and all missing loved ones and their families in your thoughts and prayers.Thank you. The support you give enables us to move into 2012 with renewed energy and continued hope. Kate and Gerry.”
The year has ended on a positive note. Our search for Madeleine and the Metropolitan Police review of the case are progressing well.
Next May will mark the fifth anniversary of Madeleine’s disappearance from the family’s holiday apartment in Portugal. She would now be eight years old.
