Family’s anger at ‘crazy’ theory of hire car blood link to Madeleine

KATE McCann’s brother-in -law yesterday labelled the latest moves by the Portuguese police as “crazy”.

John McCann said the idea that blood found in a hire car linked Ms McCann to Madeleine’s death did not make sense.

He said: “It seems highly implausible that after all the searches for Madeleine that had gone on she could be secreted into a hire car. I don’t understand it; it makes no sense.”
