It follows an underworld tip-off that Madeleine, aged three at the time, was raped, murdered and dumped in a lake within 48 hours of being taken from her parents' holiday flat in Praia da Luz, Portugal, last May. Lawyer Marcos Aragao Correia received the tip-off and paid for the first search of the reservoir near the town of Silves in the Algarve five weeks ago. The Portuguese Society of Engineering and Construction is helping fund the latest search.
Madeleine's parents, Gerry and Kate McCann, both 39, say they still believe their daughter is alive.
IMO - In My Opinion
It's been a while since I said it. But I really need to say it again .... 'bollocks' ... to this wanton speculation. There. I feel better for that. I saw another of those wild flying pigs, let loose by its handler ... and remembered the cure to disperse its effect. For good measure let's say it again ... 'bollocks' ... that's better. The one part of the above report which is worth printing is the line 'Madeleine's parents, Gerry and Kate McCann, both 39, say they still believe their daughter is alive.' I believe that too 100%.
