McCanns ‘philosophical’ about hunt for daughter

KATE and Gerry McCann remain “philosophical” about the hunt for their missing daughter, despite the disappointment that a young girl spotted in Morocco was not Madeleine, relatives said last night.

It emerged on Wednesday that a young girl in a Spanish tourist’s holiday photograph was five-year-old Bushra Binhisa, the daughter of a local olive farmer, and not Madeleine.

Kate McCann’s aunt, Janet Kennedy, said the couple had seen their hopes of a sighting dashed before.
