Parents’ Worst Nightmare: The Story of Madeleine McCann

The Search for Madeleine Is Extended

On September 7, 2017, it was announced that the search for Madeleine McCann is being extended. According to Sky News, the Scotland Yard search for the little girl is now being extended, three weeks before its funding was due to run out.

Detectives asked the Home Office for additional funds and time to explore a final theory about her disappearance. Although it has yet to be approved yet, as long as ministers believe the theory is credible and there is a chance of finding Madeleine, the funds and extension should be granted. It is speculated that the detectives will be asking for a large sum to keep a team of three or four on a watching brief.
