Detectives hired by Gerry and Kate McCann believe the couple's daughter Madeleine was snatched to order, is still alive and that she may be hidden in Morocco. Francisco Marco, 35, who is heading the team from his family-run Metodo 3 detective agency in Barcelona, has just returned to Spain after a two-week visit to the North African Arab kingdom."At the beginning of October we picked-up a trail which we are following," he said in an interview with the Spanish daily newspaper El Mundo. The country is perfect for hiding a kidnapped girl. There are a number of networks there dedicated to the trafficking of children, although they haven't been identified yet. And, except in the north, where Spanish television can be seen, in the rest of the country nobody is aware of this case," Marco told the newspaper.
Before agreeing to take on the case nearly three months ago, Marco said he and his mother had a long, hard and probing discussion with Gerry and Kate.
Senora Fernandez told El Mundo: "I played devil's advocate and asked them terrible things to see their reactions. Kate burst into tears when one of the twins came in and hugged her.
"As the mother and grandmother that I am, it strikes me as impossible that a woman that had to go through artificial insemination to have children, and who loves her children in this way, could have done anything bad to Madeleine." (Sky News)
