 A former nanny who took care of Madeleine McCann has spoken out about the night the little girl disappeared in Portugal in 2007. She looked after Madeleine several times, and says she saw the girl's mother Kate crying and her father Gerry looking under cars.  "She was crying, but almost in a catatonic state, and Gerry was very distressed. That's the one thing I really remember from him, looking under the cars. I can't forget that," the unnamed woman told The Mirror. "We were told to start looking in bins in case her body was in there. It was at that point we realised this was serious."  The former nanny was part of a search party who looked around the Ocean Club Resort's bins, and pipes leading to the sea, as well as searching the streets nearby. She told The Mirror she is furious with police, who she claimed took 90 minutes to arrive after the reported disappearance. |

 A petition backed by tens of thousands is demanding the parents of Madeleine McCann undergo a lie detector test. Madeleine disappeared almost a decade ago while on holiday with her parents Kate and Jerry in Portugal. More than 27,000 people have signed a petition calling for the test so far, and the petition's organisers want 100,000 signatures so they can take it to Parliament, The Sun reports. |

 Ex-detective Roy Ramm said the well, which it's claimed was used to hide swag by local crooks, was an obvious place to look for clues. It’s just 875 yards from the Ocean Club, the holiday complex in Praia da Luz, Portugal, where the McCanns stayed that night. But one expat local with knowledge of the case told Daily Star Online the well was just one of many near the resort.  The Brit, who asked not to be named, said: "This was brought up by an ex-cop who said that local criminals used it all the time "I don’t know whether that well has been investigated or not but if you pick wells on disused farms in the area of Luz there are lots of them. "It could be that one, it could be another one, it could be none of them. For it to matter, somebody needs to have information that Madeleine was in that well." |

 And he was quick to emphasise that such a kidnapper would likely have plenty of other options when it came to covering up their crimes. "People with local knowledge would have an awful lot of information about the best place to dispose of a body," the man said. "You don’t need to stick it in a well police might or might not search. There are other ways of getting rid of it."  It sits in scrubland close to a dilapidated farmhouse and, after dark, is lit only by the moonlight. Old appliances and suitcases lay broken nearby and more rubbish decays in the well itself. The only access is from a busy public road or by traipsing through overgrown grasses. |

 Police have just 11 weeks before funding for the Madeleine McCann investigation runs out. The Metropolitan Police was given £85,000 by the Home Office this March to extend Operation Grange until the end of September.  The force said it was pursuing all possible leads in the case after an FOI obtained by the Daily Mail showed they made just two flights to Portugal in the past year. A Scotland Yard spokesman told The Sun: ‘We should not have to explain or justify how many times we are going to Portugal. ‘If we need to be in Portugal, in particular, Praia da Luz, for policing reasons we will be there immediately. |
