Gerry: Madeleine Can Still Be Found
Gerry McCann has said he believes that Portuguese police files showed there was "absolutely no evidence" his missing daughter Madeleine had been seriously harmed.



Mr McCann said his family "strongly believed" the little girl could still be found and made a fresh appeal for information from the public.

Thousands of documents from the huge dossier of evidence assembled by detectives over more than 14 months have been made public.

They include forensic reports, witness statements, police intelligence and details of hundreds of possible sightings of Madeleine reported around the world.

Also in the file is the final 58-page report written by the Portuguese public prosecutors, who ruled on July 21 that the case should be shelved.

They said it was "most probable" Madeleine was dead but felt that police had not been able to prove this for certain.

Mr McCann and his wife Kate, both 40, from Rothley, Leicestershire, said they would believe their daughter was still alive until shown hard evidence to the contrary.

Last September Portuguese police named the couple as "arguidos", or formal suspects in Madeleine's disappearance but this status has been lifted with the shelving of the case.

In Gerry McCann's latest blog on the official Find Madeleine website, he wrote: "We strongly believe that Madeleine is out there and can be found.

Mr McCann has urged anyone who provided information to Portuguese police to contact the family's team of detectives by e-mailing investigation@findmadeleine.com or calling 0845 838 4699.
