Madeleine 'buried in Portugal', claims letter

The anguished parents of Madeleine McCann are facing a nerve wracking day as police investigate claims their daughter's body is lying hidden only a few miles from where she was abducted.

An anonymous letter which said the four-year-old's body was buried in scrubland was sent to Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf and passed on to the Portuguese Policia Judiciaria (PJ).
