 A tour guide has defended his 'ghoulish' organised Madeleine McCann trips around the Portuguese apartment where the toddler vanished – by insisting he’s just 'trying to help'. The sick tours are believed to be organised by a British grandfather and look at where the missing three-year-old child was last seen alive in Praia da Luz.  The trips also take in the nearby tapas restaurant where her parents Kate and Gerry were dining when she vanished and wasteland spots where British cops have dug for her body. Tourists on the excursions - named Luz Tours and dubbed the “Luz Challenge” - are reportedly then invited to speculate on what happened.  The Sun reports that the unnamed organiser who writes a blog called Shining in Luz insists he is just “trying to progress the case”. |

 Nearly 10 years since she vanished from her Portuguese holiday flat, investigative journalist Mark Williams-Thomas has revealed his theory on what really happened to Madeleine McCann . The reporter went to Portugal to report on the case just days after Madeleine went missing on 3 May 2007 aged three, from the Algarve resort of Praia da Luz.  “It’s such a well trodden story by so many and such a difficult story to tell now because there are so many legal implications,” he explained on This Morning . “On that morning of Madeline’s disappearance, we do know she went to [her parents] Gerry and Kate and said: ‘Where were you last night?’” he explained.  “Because we know the twins did wake up on days prior to her disappearance. "And I think as a result of that, Madeline was clearly aware they were in the tapas bar that was in the resort. "Now the interesting element in that is in order to get to the tapas bar you had to actually come out of the premises, walk on a public road to go back in again. "And that raises a concern I have in regards to Madeleine I believe woke up in the middle of the night, she went looking for Gerry and Kate and she left the apartment and went out. "Because we know the patio door at the back was insecure.” |

 The apartment in Portugal where Madeleine McCann vanished has reportedly been bought by a British woman for half the asking price.  Maddie was just three-years-old when she disappeared from the Portuguese flat in Algarve while her parents, Kate and Gerry, dined in a nearby restaurant in the resort of Praia da Luz.  The previous owner, Ruth McCann, who is not related to the family, struggled to sell the flat for a long time because of what happened there. |

The parents of Madeleine McCann have described the controversial TV drama about the fake kidnap of Shannon Matthews as "appalling” and “insensitive”, Mirror Online reports.
Madeleine was three when she went missing from her family's holiday apartment in Praia da Luz on May 3, 2007, as her parents dined at a nearby tapas restaurant with friends.
The Moorside is the dramatic retelling of what happened when Matthews "disappeared" in 2008 - only for it to be found out her mum Karen Matthews was behind it all.
The drama, starring Sheridan Smith, was broadcast at 9pm last night, and will conclude at the same time next week.

 Kate said the three-year-old would have had to have opened a patio door and two gates, one with a child safety lock. Then the youngster would have had to have closed them all behind her. Kate said: “What three-year-old do you know who would do that? “And we knew our Madeleine. She simply would not wander off like this.’’ Former Surrey Police child protection officer Mark Williams-Thomas told ITV’s This Morning he did not think Madeleine was abducted from the apartment in Portugal.  He said he believed she had woken up and gone outside looking for her mum and dad who were dining with pals. |
