DCI Andy Redwood is retiring from the MPS in December 2014.

DCI Redwood was the lead officer of Op Grange, the investigation into the disappearance of Madeleine Mccann.

DCI Nicola Wall from the Homicide and Major Crime Command will take over on Monday 22 December and lead the dedicated team of detectives currently working on this case.

 A comprehensive handover is ongoing, and the family and other interested parties have been informed.
 

The team is travelling to Portugal on Monday 8 December to carry out further enquiries, and DCI Wall will meet with the Portuguese authorities later in the week.

 DCI Redwood said 

“After careful consideration and a full and rewarding career in the Met the time is right for me to move on. 

“The past three and a half years leading Operation Grange has been an extraordinary privilege, and I leave the investigation in the very capable hands of my experienced colleague Nicola.”
