The face of Madeleine McCann aged six

A striking image of how Madeleine McCann might look now, if still alive, was released by her parents yesterday ahead of the second anniversary of her disappearance tomorrow.

Gerry and Kate McCann employed a forensic imaging artist, using computer technology, to produce a photographic impression of how the youngster would have aged in the two years since she went missing.

It will be used on posters to be distributed worldwide as part of the couple’s continuing search for their little girl.
