11 weeks to find Madeleine: Police have just under three months before £85,000 funding runs out

• The Metropolitan Police's £85,000 funding for search runs out in September
• Officers are still determined to find her and defended lack of visits to Portugal
• Parents Kate and Gerry McCann have not given up and will 'overcome despair

'

Officers searching for Madeleine McCann have just 11 weeks left before their funding runs out.

The Metropolitan Police received an extra £85,000 earlier this year from the Home Office to continue the Operation Grange investigation.

But the cash dries up at the end of September, with officers still determined to find the youngster who went missing in Portugal 10 years ago when she was abducted by a probable paedo.

Madeleine was discovered missing from her bed in the rented apartment by her horrified mother shortly after 10pm on May 3 2007 when she came back from not far during frequent checking

Lets hope for some good news this summer or more funds?

I really hope they find her with these last few weeks (I know it's REAL wishful thinking but just some closure would be nice)

But I think it's right the funds are being stopped, sorry.

Kate and Gerry killed her (probably accidentally). Their mates covered it up. They didn't want her body to ever be discovered because they have something to hide. Some of the tapas 7 were reported to police because they were suspected of being a bit dodgy around kids. (This was before Maddie went missing.)

I only say it's right because if they haven't found her in TEN YEARS the likelihood is they're 99.9% never going to find her.

It's fact sorry hon. There are documents of police reports of Gerry's mates being reported for some dodgy comments about their kids.

Absolutely. And the parents would have been at least fined for leaving their young kids alone in a foreign country.

It's disgusting. The funding would've been stopped ages ago/or have been considerably less. Before LT or someone quotes me like 'evidence' just look at how Shannon Matthews was treated (albeit it was a lie but they didn't know that)

I would mind thanks very much. There are much more deserving causes.

They'd find her tomorrow if the McCanns told them where to look .

[LeatherTrumpet]

The parents have been unstinting in their search, they should be applauded, not harranged

LT you are the first to quote the number of children who die every day when there is a celebrity death thread and people pay their condolences too. Why should maddie be a special case as a missing child and be funded by the public purse? Millions has been poured into a search that has yielded nothing. Maddie died in my opinion on the night she ws reported missing. Plenty of more recent missing children who are deserving of public money to search for them

Its not a competition. I think there is still hope, we must continue on the search. Look how much Kate and him has done. We have to admire that and use this as a beacon of hope for ALL missing children.
