- Christmas Appeal For Madeleine McCann - Madeleine McCann Abduction - Missing Child Portugal - Find Madee McCann – Youtube Appeal Here

The parents of Madeleine McCann are putting out a Christmas Appeal in the form of new video footage of Madeleine which has never been seen in public before, in the hope that it may jog someone’s memory or help identify her if there are any more sightings of the child.

Madeleine McCann, aged 3 at the time, vanished during the night from her family’s ground floor holiday apartment in Praia da Luz, Portugal in 2007. Her parents had left her unattended while they dined out with friends 100 yards away. Her two year old twin brother and sister, Sean and Amelie, were with Madeleine and her parents had left the door to the apartment unlocked when they left for dinner.

“Kate and Gerry McCann reported to the police that they were taking turns checking on their children and that at approximately 21:00 Western European Summer Time Gerry checked on the children and they were all fine.

At around 21:45 the couple returned from the restaurant to find an empty bed and the apartment door and window wide open and reported the incident to the police at 22:00. Staff and guests at the complex searched until 04:30 whilst police on the Spanish border and all airports in Portugal and Spain were notified”.

Since Madeleine disappeared there have been many reported, supposed sightings of her across Europe, but none of these have proven to lead anywhere. During the past 2 years the parents of Madeleine have not given up hope and have tirelessly campaigned, fought and tried in vain to find out what has happened to their daughter.

In a desperate plea on Sky News her British parents, Kate and Jerry have released video footage of Madeleine at Christmas 2006, at their home in Rothley, Leicestershire, England. In this video it will be the first time her voice has been heard by the public. The video shows her playing with her twin siblings and talking about her pretty pink shoes in a typical cosy Christmas setting at her home.

The McCann’s have put out this statement: “Christmas is a time for children”. “Please help bring our daughter back”. They believe that by keeping her memory alive and in the public eye that it may help bring their daughter back home.

The situation in Portugal regards the disappearance of Madeleine is that her case has now being shelved and the Portuguese prosecutors have lifted the McCann’s alquido status. Previously the McCann had been under investigation and ‘official suspects’ as regards their daughter’s disappearance.

‘Initial Investigation by the Portuguese Police concluded that Madeleine, who had been left unsupervised in a bedroom with her two-year-old twin siblings, had been abducted’.

DNA Tests were carried out on bodily fluids blood samples and hair found in the McCann’s holiday apartment and on the vehicle that they hired 25 days after the four-year-old disappeared.

The McCann’s final statement on the video was: “This will be our second Christmas without our daughter. Please help to make sure we won’t have a third”.

Madeleine vanished from her family’s holiday apartment in Praia da Luz, Portugal on May 3rd, 2007, whilst her parents dined out with friends, she was 3 years old.

If anyone feels that they can help in any way and have any information, no matter how small that you think it may be, please contact your local police authorities.

“A notable identification feature is her right eye that has a type of coloboma, a complete split in the iris (a black radial strip reaching from the pupil out to the edge of the white) at “7 o’clock” position (i.e. about 30° clockwise from the bottom)”.
