McCanns 'drawing strength' from police files

Files from the Portuguese police investigation into Madeleine McCann’s disappearance have helped her parents to “draw strength” because of the lack of any evidence that their daughter is dead, the family spokesman said today.

Gerry and Kate McCann’s spokesman Clarence Mitchell said the newly-released files have revealed no evidence suggesting Madeleine had been killed or even harmed in the 15 months since she went missing on a family holiday in Portugal.
