Madeleine McCann contempt case: Tony Bennett guilty
February 21, 2013

A man who claims he is campaigning to find out what happened to Madeleine McCann has been convicted of contempt of court at the High Court in London.

Tony Bennett was found to have breached an earlier court undertaking not to publish allegations linking Madeleine's parents with her disappearance.

Bennett, who is behind the Madeleine Foundation, was given a three-month prison sentence, suspended for a year.

He was also ordered to pay Kate and Gerry McCann's court costs.

Bennett, 65, of Harlow in Essex, was found to have breached on at least 13 occasions the undertaking not to publish allegations linking the couple, from Rothley in Leicestershire, with their daughter's disappearance.

'Last resort'
The breaches included letters he wrote to Home Secretary Theresa May and Prime Minister David Cameron, which Bennett posted on the internet.

Mr Justice Tugendhat said the retired solicitor had deliberately flouted the order and that his conduct was so serious that nothing less than a custodial sentence would suffice.

Madeleine McCann: Man Sentenced Over Claims
February 21, 2013

A retired solicitor who published claims that Madeleine McCann's parents caused her death has been given a suspended jail sentence.

Finding Bennett guilty of contempt of court, the judge added: "I am sure that he intended to allege that the claimants are to be suspected of causing the death of their daughter, and did in fact dispose of her body, lie about what happened and covered up what they had done."

Bennett, who was ordered to pay the costs of the litigation, apologised to the court.

Madeleine McCann: Interpol alerted over possible sighting in Cyprus
3/3/13

Cyprus police have alerted Interpol over a possible sighting of Madeleine McCann in the holiday resort of Ayia Napa.

Police spokesman Andreas Angelides told the AFP news agency that a Briton informed police he had "seen a girl who looked like Madeleine with a British couple as one of their three children".

He said this information was given to police on February 20 and they passed it on to the European authorities.

"We asked Interpol to also look into the matter," Mr Angelides said, but added that the family in question had most probably left Cyprus.

A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police said: “We are not providing a running commentary on Operation Grange.

“As with any lines of enquiry that are brought to our attention, these will be assessed and dealt with accordingly.”   ::snipping2::

New lead in hunt for Madeleine McCann: Police look for team of British cleaners in white van who were working in resort
3/15/13

Detectives investigating the disappearance of British toddler Madeleine McCann believe a team of British cleaners may hold the key to her whereabouts.
 
Owners of apartments in the Portuguese holiday complex where Maddie and her family were staying when she vanished in 2007 have been asked about cleaners in the area who had a white van.
 
One property owner said police told him they are looking for a group of six to eight British cleaners who drove around the Praia da Luz area in a white van, working in holiday apartments

He said there were a couple of people whom he believed to be gypsies by the van.
 
A separate report to Portuguese police mentioned a white van and a young, dark-haired man, who was staring at the holiday apartments the McCanns had been staying in.
 
A Metropolitan Police spokesman told MailOnline: 'Officers are reviewing all of the material in relation to the disappearance of Madeleine McCann.
 
'This is routine procedure as part of the ongoing review.'

 
Operation Grange was set up by the Metropolitan Police two years ago at the request of Prime Minister David Cameron following a plea by Madeleine's parents Kate and Gerry, of Rothley, Leicestershire.
 
In May it will be six years since Madeleine disappeared from the Portuguese holiday resort.

From what I gather, this has been debunked.  Sometimes things get into newsfeeds and continue to be posted and reposted. I believe this is the same:

DNA test to prove New Zealand girl is not Madeleine McCann
February 8, 2013

A DNA sample from a girl in New Zealand has been sent to British police to quash the suggestion she is Madeleine McCann.

It was reported in New Zealand media that the girl has been mistaken for Madeleine more than once, because she has a similar mark in one of her eyes.

However, Scotland Yard said the girl was not a line of inquiry and the force had requested the sample to confirm statements made by New Zealand police that she is not Madeleine.

Police: Suspects ID'd in British girl's '07 disappearance
By CNN Staff
updated 2:57 PM EDT, Fri May 17, 2013

(CNN) -- British police have identified a number of suspects in the disappearance of British girl Madeleine McCann during a 2007 family vacation in Portugal, London's Metropolitan Police said Friday.

A review was launched in 2011 in an attempt to find out what happened to the British toddler who vanished from the family's holiday apartment in Praia da Luz on the Algarve coast, police told CNN.

Police have been working closely with Portuguese authorities on the case.

It's hard to believe it's been six years since Madeleine disappeared.

I know, seems like yesterday

It's hard to believe it's been six years since Madeleine disappeared.   

Her story was what brought me to missing children's/persons forums.
I passed out fliers of Madeleine in every airport that I was at during the early months. I also had her poster in my car window for ages.
I think that Madeleine is still live.

Madeleine McCann: New Suspects Identified

Age time lapse rendering

Police have identified a number of suspects in the case of missing Madeleine McCann, Scotland Yard has disclosed.

Officers investigating the case as part of a review have drawn up a list of "people of interest" they wish to speak to in connection with the disappearance of Madeleine in May 2007.

The review was launched in 2011 in an attempt to find out what happened to the toddler who vanished from the family's holiday apartment in Praia da Luz on the Algarve.

Detective Chief Superintendent Hamish Campbell said: "The purpose of the review was to look at the case with fresh eyes and there is always real benefit in doing so. The review has further identified both investigative and forensic opportunities to support the Portuguese

UK police announce new leads in missing girl case

http://news.yahoo.com/uk-police-announce-leads-missing-girl-case-192126070.html

British police say they are investigating new leads in the case of Madeleine McCann, the Briton who disappeared six years ago in Portugal at the age of three.

Scotland Yard said it has identified several "persons of interest" and "both investigative and forensic opportunities" in the case. The force said Friday its work is under way to support police in Portugal, even though they have closed their investigation into the disappearance.

It is just hard to believe that it has been over 6 years since Maddy has gone missing.

Scotland Yard hunt six British cleaners driving a white van in search for missing Maddie

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2326738/Madeline-McCann-Scotland-Yard-hunt-British-cleaners-driving-white-van-search-missing-girl.html#ixzz2TkLmWL4f

British cleaners and Portuguese manual workers are among new suspects in the Madeleine McCann investigation, The Mail on Sunday has learned.

Scotland Yard identified what they describe as ‘people of interest’ during a review of the Portuguese inquiry into the three-year-old’s disappearance in May, 2007.

The suspects are thought to number 12 – not 20 as has been reported – and include a number of British cleaners who were working near the apartment complex where Madeleine, twin siblings Sean and Amelie and parents Gerry and Kate were staying.


Sources said ‘low-level’ workers – handymen, cleaners and gardeners – have become the focus of interest. Some are thought to have been employed by the Ocean Club complex on a casual basis and may have already been interviewed.

Scotland Yard takes over the inquiry into Maddie's disappearance from Portuguese police after they fail to make a breakthrough in six years

 Home Secretary Theresa May has agreed to fund full-scale Met inquiry
 Review identified 20 potential suspects and dozens of new leads
 Portuguese authorities have refused to reopen the investigation
6/14/13

 
Scotland Yard is to take control of the Madeleine McCann case from the Portuguese authorities, the Daily Mail can reveal.
 
In a significant development, Home Secretary Theresa May has agreed to fund a full-scale Metropolitan Police investigation into Madeleine’s disappearance in Portugal six years ago.
 
It follows a two-year, £5million Met review of her disappearance.
 
This has identified more than 20 potential suspects and dozens of new leads – but despite the progress made by the review team, the Portuguese authorities have refused to reopen their inquiry. Officials in Portugal say that under the country’s laws they can only reopen the case if there is new evidence, and the new leads do not provide sufficient grounds.
 
But Met detectives insist their leads could, if properly investigated, result in new evidence and perhaps the case being solved.
 
With no sign of the deadlock being broken, the Met asked Mrs May to provide Home Office funding for a Scotland Yard investigation into Maddie’s disappearance.
 
It is understood she has approved the request. It is not known how much additional funding was sought but it is believed it could run into millions of pounds. A statement announcing the Met-led investigation is expected in the next few weeks.
 
It will endeavour not to upset the Portuguese authorities, who – privately at least – are likely to be unhappy about playing second fiddle to British police.
 
Under the plan, Yard detectives will seek the assistance of the Portuguese to carry out some inquiries on their behalf. British police do not have jurisdiction in Portugal but they have the right to investigate and prosecute any British suspects who might be linked to Madeleine’s disappearance.

Madeleine McCann: Missing 6 Years, Scotland Yard Opens New Probe

http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20709659,00.html

After a two-year review, Scotland Yard says it will reopen and fully fund a new investigation into the disappearance of Madeleine McCann, the British girl who vanished from her family's vacation apartment in Praia da Luz, Portugal, in 2007.

That review comes after the intervention of British Prime Minister David Cameron, whose spokeswoman on Monday reiterated renewed support for the once-widely reported case, according to Britain's Sky News.
