McCanns: No doubt Maddy probe will re-open

Kate and Gerry McCann have said they have “no doubt” the Portuguese authorities will eventually reopen the investigation into their daughter Madeleine’s disappearance.

Police in Portugal said last week they had found “no new element” to justify relaunching their inquiry into how the little girl vanished on a family holiday to the Algarve in May 2007.

But the McCanns, speaking on the eve of the fifth anniversary of Madeleine going missing, added their voices to calls from Scotland Yard for the case to be reopened.
