May will mark a decade since the
disappearance of Madeleine, then aged
three, from the family’s holiday
apartment in Praia da Luz in Portugal.
Her parents, of Rothley, Leicestershire,
have vowed to “never give up” hope of
finding their daughter.
In a statement posted to their website
and the appeal’s official Facebook page,
the couple said: “This Christmas marks
our 10th without Madeleine. There are no
words really. |

The McCann’s said: “We will
try and make it as happy a
family occasion as possible
despite being inevitably
tinged with pain and
longing” |

“Suffice to say, we will try and make it
as happy a family occasion as possible
despite being inevitably tinged with
pain and longing.
“The year ahead too is one which we
never could have believed or
contemplated we would have to face.”
The couple added: “Thank you so much to
everyone who hasn’t forgotten about
Madeleine, for all of your help and
continued prayers. |

The local community formed a
vigil for missing Madeleine |

“The support we continue to have from so
many people, friends and strangers will,
we’re sure, keep us strong and afloat
during the difficult months to come.
“Somebody knows. We just hope they find
the courage and compassion to let us
know too.”
In early December the Sun on Sunday
revealed detectives were following an
“important” new lead in the case.
A source said that the new line of
inquiry “could provide an explanation on
whether Madeleine was abducted and
transported away”. |
