Missing I Year
Day 366
 |
It is a year to
the day since Madeleine was abducted. A heinous crime that had
the potential to destroy the strongest of families. Without
doubt it has been the longest year of our lives, yet it does not
seem like a year since we last saw Madeleine. She is still a
large part of Sean and Amelie's life and this gives some comfort
to Kate and me.
The research we have done this year has encouraged us to believe
that there is a very good chance Madeleine is alive. Ernie
Allen, president of NCMEC for the last 25 years, has reiterated
that and the fact there are a number of scenarios in which
Madeleine could be alive and well. We just need to find her.
The documentary we made on an EU wide Amber alert and the last
year was screened in the UK on Wednesday night, in Spain on
Thursday and last night in Portugal. We have spent most of the
last 3 days promoting our new hotline number +4 845 838 4699
(calls are charged at local rate) and our e-mail addresses for
information: anonymous@findmadeleine.com and
investigation@findmadeleine.com .
We have always said we will leave no stone unturned in the
search for Madeleine. To do that we need to know what has and
has not been done- unfortunately we know very little about the
investigation to date. This is why we are appealing to everyone
who may have come forward previously to do so again. Every piece
of information is important to us. We are also appealing to
people who may not have come forward for whatever reason to do
so. We are only interested in finding Madeleine and will
guarantee confidentiality and anonymity if requested. We are
also families asking with children to think if something similar
may have happened to them. It is unlikely
this is the
first time that the abductor has struck.
Today we will be attending one of the many services to pray for
Madeleine and other missing children. We would like to thank
everyone, of all faiths, who has prayed for Madeleine over the
last year. The Helping to find Madeleine group have also
organised a 'lighting the way home for Madeleine' event where,
they will release lanterns in Rothley around the time she went
missing. Others will light a candle and
we greatly
appreciate the support and symbolic gestures. |
