Portuguese former police inspector Carlos Anjos said the decision to award Scotland Yard an extra £85,000 to find the missing youngster was “shocking”. Anjos claims the Met is trying to “forcefully place the blame” on a homeless drifter who cannot afford a lawyer. The suspect was a worker at the Portuguese holiday resort where then-three-year-old Madeleine vanished in 2007 while her parents dined with pals in a tapas bar.  Police say the man had stolen a “handful of things from a bedroom” of an unlocked apartment at noon that day. But he was eliminated from inquiries as he was “far away” when Madeleine disappeared. Portugal’s ex-minister of internal affairs Rui Pereira suggested the new probe was a “reaction of the English authorities” to former detective Goncalo Amara’s court battle with Madeleine’s doctor parents Kate, 49, and Gerry, 48, in Portugal’s Supreme Court.  |

 Dave Edgar believes Madeleine could be being held captive, hidden in plain sight and unaware of the massive international hunt underway to find her. Mr Edgar, who was hired by Kate and Gerry McCann for three years to try and find their missing daughter, has disclosed he handed over seven lines of inquiry to Scotland Yard when they launched Operation Grange in May 2011.  Mr Edgar said: “There is every possibility that Madeleine is still alive and could be being hidden somewhere." “When you get up beyond the main strip of the Algarve there’s countless isolated properties where Madeleine could be being held. “Obviously we had a number of lines of inquiry and some of those lines did lead us to properties which we followed up and handed over to the authorities.”  |

 A former detective inspector who spent years looking for Madeleine McCann believes she’s still alive. Dave Edgar, 60, was hired by Kate and Gerry McCann to investigate their daughter’s disappearance after she went missing in Portugal in 2007.  He stopped working for them as a private investigator after three years when the Metropolitan Police opened their own case in 2011. Mr Edgar has offered to return to the investigation and said he believes Madeleine, who would now be 13, is still alive. ‘I would strongly consider coming back to help as a private investigator if required. In fact I would be happy to come back on board.’ |

 Kate McCann has threatened legal action on anyone who posts extracts of her book about daughter Madeleine. She has also denied she is trying to make money from her daughter’s disappearance in a lengthy statement on Facebook.  The message was posted by the Official Find Maddie Campaign page, which both Kate and husband Gerry McCann endorse. ‘I would like to remind those who are sharing Kate’s book online, you are violating copyright law,’ the page wrote on behalf of Mrs McCann, according to the Sun.  |

 The holidaymaker, who wished to remain anonymous, said she is confident she saw the child in Morocco on May 9, 2007, six days after the three-year-old vanished. Just thinking about the sighting as the 10-year anniversary of her disappearance looms makes her feel sick, she said. She told Daily Star Online: "I was in Marrakech at a petrol station and I saw this man with a little girl.  She added: "I think that was what worried me. "I was talking to my husband on the way back in the car and saying there was something wrong. "That's what worried me a lot. But I didn't recall any connection with the case until I got home... "I phoned the police, the missing number, everybody." |
