Scotland Yard is to continue the hunt for Madeleine McCann, the Telegraph can reveal ahead of the 11th anniversary of her disappearance on Thursday.

The Home Office has granted the force an extra £154,000 in funding which will allow detectives to extend the investigation for another six months.

Operation Grange, which was launched by the Metropolitan Police in 2011, is still pursuing several lines of inquiry.

It's now 11 years since Madeleine's disappearance from her family's holiday apartment in the Portuguese resort of Praia da Luz on May 3 2007 when she was abducted.


Her parents said “hope and perseverance remain” on the anniversary of their daughter’s kidnap.

In a posting on the official Find Madeleine Campaign Facebook page they said: “It gets hard to know what to say or write as each anniversary of Madeleine’s abduction approaches then passes.

“Life is full and busy which helps but Madeleine is still missing and is dearly missed.”

Operation Grange initially had 29 full time officers working on it, who took almost 1,500 statements and collected over 1,000 exhibits.

The search continues...

Has it REALLY been 11 years? Time really does fly.

I'm not sure what this extra funding will achieve but we can still hope.

I can't see what they hope to find after all these years. You would think most avenues of enquiry would have been exhausted by now.

UGH :idc: they will never find Madeleine

Money wasted I think,I don't think she will be found sadly LT.

maybe she wont be found but we can still hope we find the abductor and bring him to justice

:fc:

it's her own parents, like with Jonbenet Ramsey i think


that are my thoughts

If she's alive, the best case scenario would be she'd have been sold on the black market adoption market, and she's living with a loving family, the kind who don't leave her unattended in a strange place while they get drunk. Why would she want to be reunited with her biological "parents"?

thank you Chuff

that may Shed some light

The only ones who should receive funding should be the Portuguese Police who were working on the case who had LEGITIMATE evidence against the parents but were done away with...

They either murdered her or sold her they are the worst parents ever

motive?

Money

ok :/

I don't think so, I'd say it was probably an accidental death (as the dogs have indicated she died in the apartment) and a cover up for some reason (maybe she had sedatives in her system)

What people forget is that there is a child abductor out there and he could strike again

Buried maybe
in another nation.

Yes, he's just been bidding his time for the last 11 years :worry:

Regardless of what happened to that child, the pair of them should have been banged up for negligence, not been allowed to rinse the case for all its worth.

It's disgusting.

i would imagine quite a few children have gone missing in Portugal and Spain in that time period

If she is alive then she is coming to an age where she can make herself known to authorities, it's worth keeping the case alive and in the news for that reason alone. They have no chance of finding her via detective methods

A serial child abductor should surely have been caught by now :worry:
