LONDON - Three-year-old
Madeleine McCann from
Rothley, Leicestershire disappeared on May 3 during a holiday with her parents
in the Algarve region of
southern Portugal.
Here is a chronology of developments:
May 3 - The girl goes missing from her bedroom between 9.30 and 10 p.m.
while her parents
Kate and Gerry are dining just 100 yards away at the
Mark
Warner Ocean Club holiday resort in
Praia da Luz. A window and shutter are open
and she is presumed to have been abducted.
May 4 - McCann family members and British media criticise police for
what they call a slow initial response, failure to take the disappearance
seriously at first, failure to notify ports and borders in time, and failure to
secure the crime scene, which may have led to vital clues being lost.
Police say that under Portuguese secrecy laws they are unable to reveal details
of the investigation.
Speculation swirls that the kidnapper comes from Britain. One woman says she saw a
suspicious character hanging around the holiday flats just a few days before.
May 5 - Police say they have put together a
sketch of a suspect and
confirm they believe Madeleine is still alive and being held within three miles
of the crime scene. Media reports say the sketch is vague and only features the
back of a man's head.
May 7 - Kate McCann makes an emotional appeal for her daughter's safe
return
May 8 - Police say they have investigated 350 suspicious incidents but
still have no idea where she might be.
Portuguese newspaper Correio de Manha says Madeleine may have been kidnapped by
a paedophile ring.

police by saying after a visit to the girl's parents that they appreciated the
efforts being made.
