Daily Mail Headline ‘Police hunt for Gerry's missing tennis bag, which could have contained her - or her body’; says: Police want to trace a tennis bag allegedly taken from Kate and Gerry McCann's apartment on the night Madeleine went missing, it was claimed yesterday. Detectives think the blue holdall could have been used to carry Madeleine away, or even to transport her body. It belonged to Mr McCann but has not been seen since the night of May 3, according to the Sky News documentary.
Tony Rogers, who reviews unsolved cases for British police and worked on the Soham investigation, said: "If it's a bag of a size that could be used to take a child away from the flat, that would be of great interest to the investigating officer."
But Mr McCann told friends yesterday that he did not take any tennis equipment to Praia da Luz, and did not own a blue tennis bag. McCann family spokesman Clarence Mitchell flatly denied that Mr McCann had lost a bag during the family's holiday.
He said: "As far as Kate and Gerry are concerned, there is no missing tennis bag. They came back from holiday with everything except of course, tragically, Madeleine."
