The officer yesterday launched a 60-second
internet video clip aimed at people who may
know Madeleines kidnapper.
Mr Gamble
said: "It is the first time it has been done
and I absolutely believe this has the
opportunity' the potential' to get to the
person we are looking for. We are not
looking for someone who has seen this girl
particularly.
"We are
looking for the person who knows or strongly
suspects the individual or individuals
involved in Madeleines disappearance. The
person who for a long time has perhaps
struggled with their conscience keeping a
terrible secret.? Mr Gamble is convinced
Madeleine may still be alive and pointed to
the case of American teenager Jaycee Dugard
as evidence. He added: "I've reviewed cases
of children who turned up four' eight'
eighteen years later. Statisticians do that
most awful of thing' taking away peoples
hope.
Kate and
Gerry' of Rothley' Leics' pleaded for help
after reaching a "low point? in their hopes
they would ever see Madeleine again.
A friend
said: "Jim was moved by the letter and
agreed to do what he could. It personally
touched him.?
Kate and
Gerry say in the clip: "We are extremely
grateful to Ceop for launching this new
message.
"If you
know what has happened to Madeleine' it is
still not too late to do the right thing and
come forward. We love Madeleine. Please help
us bring her home.?
