Have You seen anything suspicious related to the disappearance of Madeleine or if you believe you know where Madeleine is being concealed or hidden. Portuguese police have searched extensively around Praia da Luz and she has not been found.

It is possible that she is being hidden or concealed in some way and if you know where then by now you may have realised that it is in everyone’s interest that she is returned to her family.

I'ts Not Too Late To Do The Right Thing !
Our daughter Madeleine was abducted on 3rd May 2007 in Praia da Luz, Portugal, 9 days before her 4th birthday. She was taken from our holiday apartment where she was sleeping with her younger brother and sister whilst we were dining 50 yards away. Despite a massive investigation led by the Portuguese police and supported by the British police, we still do not know who has taken her, why she was taken or where she is. In addition, private investigators based in Spain are now following up any leads regarding Madeleine’s disappearance. Do you have any photos or videos? Please upload them to mailto:toinvestigation@findmadeleine.comOr Call Our Investigation Line +44 845 838 4699 Do you know something and don't want to or are too afraid of talking to the police? Speak to us (the McCann Team) confidentially on 0845 8384699 or anonymous@findmadeleine.com

The documentary reconstructed that critical night using eye witness testimony and where possible, the actual people involved such as Jane, who believes she actually saw Madeleine being carried away, but at the time, didn’t immediately assume she was witnessing an abduction; a fact that she finds hard to deal with now because she of course realises that her intervention at that moment could’ve meant that Madeleine was at this minute safe at home with her family. That must be a terrible burden for her to bear and it was heart rending to see her weep as she watched the actor playing Madeleine’s abductor carrying a child…

A single conviction in cases of assault in PJ


Four cases of alleged assaults by police officers against detainees arrived at the bar of the court, but only one within the Joana case resulted in conviction.

The first trial of inspectors happened in 2000, when the chief inspector José Abrantes and three other inspectors of PJ in Lisbon were accused of crimes of offense against the physical integrity of qualified and kidnapping of a man identified as a potential informant in the process of Gang of Passarella.

Rui Nuno Marques four accused the inspectors of the PJ to have kidnapped and transported to the premises of the Judiciary, which he said have been assaulted in order to disclose information to the investigation of the case.

The court gave as evidence the attacks on the premises of the PJ without, however, has established its authority, so José Abrantes and three other officers were acquitted.


In September 2004, after the disappearance of a child of eight years, the mother, Leonor Cipriano was questioned on the premises of the PJ of Faro, where he said the inspectors have been tortured to obtain confession of the authorship of the death of her daughter, along with brother, John Cipriano.

Five current and former inspectors of the PJ were brought to trial with jury, with the Bar Association (OA) to intervene in the proceedings for the first time in the history of Portuguese as an assistant justice charge.

Although the court in Faro has proven as the torture of Leonor Cipriano, not to prove who caused the attacks and how, so Leonel Marques, Paulo Pereira Paulo Marques Bom and Christopher were acquitted.


For its part, Gonçalo Amaral was acquitted of the crime of omission of complaint, but the panel of judges chaired by Henry Peacock condemned the ex-inspector of the PJ a year and a half in prison with suspended sentence for an equal period for the crime of false testimony.

The fifth inspector brought to trial, António Cardoso, was sentenced to two and a half years suspended sentence with a period equal to the crime of falsification of documents.

In 2007, an inspector of the PJ of Porto, Pinto Machial had to appear at the trial session, after being accused of assault during the interrogation, a man suspected of murder of women.

The PJ's agent rejected the accusations and stressed in court that the suspect, assisted in the Hospital de São João, in Porto, where he remained for 45 minutes due to a "head injury unspecified", "shot up to an inspector," by which was forced to intervene in aid of a colleague and you master it "on the floor."

The case relates Railway was also in 2007, three inspectors of the PJ to be pronounced by a man alleged assault suspected of theft, with the postponement of the first session in the Criminal Court of Lisbon.

The audience, still no date set, it is scheduled to be the same when it began the trial of current and former inspectors of the PJ within the media If Joana.

Because of the trial on the practices of torture that they complained Leonor Cipriano, mother of missing girl in the Algarve in September 2004, the Government has created a manual of conditions of detention in PJ, for the rights of detainees are respected.

Contacted by the agency Lusa, António Pragal Colaço, lawyer of ASFIC (Association of Criminal Investigation Staff of the Judicial Police), criticized the judge for justice in cases of attacks attributed to the PJ inspectors.

"The courts in Portugal should concern itself in chasing the thief and not the police", he stressed, showing "concern" and "amazement" at the fact that criminal investigators are judged by exercising acts of violence against detainees.

Gonçalo Amaral accused of torturing stepfather of Joan

The former coordinator of the Judicial Police (PJ) Gonçalo Amaral, now retired, was accused by prosecutors of Faro for the practice of a crime of torture in the co-authors Leandro Silva, companion of Leonor Cipriano, mother of Joan. O advogado do queixoso vai pedir uma indemnização de um milhão de euros. The lawyer will ask the complainant compensation of one million euros.

According to the indictment, which was based on documents of the Barlavento Hospital in Portimão, where he was supported (in addition to several testimonies), on 13 October of that year, Gonçalo Amaral grabbed the neck of Leandro Silva, stepfather of child missing, and you desferido "several punches in the abdomen and slap in the face" as requested to indicate where it was Joana.

After having initiated the investigation in October 2008, the prosecutor stated that he had sustained at the time, several injuries, including "the scale costal contusion," which prevented from working for five days. Based on the indictment, the former coordinator of the PJ incurs a penalty of one year to five years imprisonment. However, the lawyer Marcos Aragão Correia, representative of Leandro Silva, will ask, as the DN, which is considered the existence of "serious crime of torture", in which case Gonçalo Amaral had to meet three to twelve years in prison.


It is recalled that the former coordinator of the Judiciary was sentenced, on May 22 by the Court of Faro, a year and a half, with suspended sentence for perjury during the investigation of the Joana case, which he led in for the Leonor Cipriano torture (which meets 16 years in prison for murder and concealment of the body of her daughter Joana).

The lawyer Marcos Aragão Correia will require 500 thousand euros in compensation to Gonçalo Amaral for "offenses" after the former inspector has asked the Court of Faro his internment. " The request for compensation from another is the same value to compensate the father of Joan by "torture", "defamation" and "false statements" during the investigation into the disappearance of the stepdaughter.

"I was beaten once at night in PJ by Gonçalo Amaral and others who do not remember who they are. He said I had hidden the body of Joana and the strength that I wanted to say where he was. How not know anything, I was taking hit . When I reached home, I had to go to the Barlavento Hospital in Portimão, where I was radiographed to be in pain in the body, "said the DN Leandro Silva.

ON NEW YEAR’S DAY 2008, at 10pm, Amy Fitzpatrick said goodbye to her close friend Ashley Rose, with whom she had been babysitting Ashley’s brother at her friend’s house in Mijas Costa. Amy should have arrived at her home on the urbanisation Riviera del Sol in Mijas Costa, near Fuengirola, at about 10:10pm, as it was only a short walk away. But, she never arrived home and has not been heard from or seen since that night.Amy, an Irish girl, was 15 at the time; she has black hair, blue eyes and a pale complexion. She is 1.65m tall. At the time of her disappearance, she was wearing dark-coloured crushed velvet tracksuit bottoms and a black T-shirt with the word ‘Diesel’ on it in various different colours. She had no money, phone or passport (as she was still on her mother’s). She turned 16 on February 7, 2008.Following her disappearance, a massive search involving hundreds of people from many different departments was launched amidst a sea of speculation; that she may have left voluntarily, that she may have been abducted, that a white van might have been involved, that she may have sent an email to make contact, that she may have eloped with a man. All proved to be dead ends.

Please sign our petition and Make the Politicians listen to us.We are also looking for volunteer's in Ireland and in European countries to help assist in our on-going campaign to get signatures on the petition to get a European Alert System set into place. Please Email UsAMBER ALERT This is a system that is set up in America and has been very successful in locating missing childrenThe AMBER Alert Program, named for 9-year-old Amber Hagerman, is a voluntary partnership between law-enforcement agencies, broadcasters, and transportation agencies to activate an urgent bulletin in the most serious child-abduction cases. Broadcasters use the Emergency Alert System (EAS) to air a description of the abducted child and suspected abductor. This is the same concept used during severe weather emergencies. The goal of an AMBER Alert is to instantly galvanize the entire community to assist in the search for and safe recovery of the child.How does the Alert system work? Alerts are sent out via the Emergency Alert System (or Emergency Broadcast System, originally designed to disperse information after a nuclear attack) to law enforcement agencies and radio and television stations. The announcements are prefaced by a special "Abducted Child Statement" code, to differentiate them from tornado or flood warnings. Some states also use large traffic alert signs on their highways, especially when the suspect is believed to have access to a car.

McCanns win MEPs' backing for abduction alert system

Gerry and Kate McCann have won the backing of MEPs for a Europe-wide child abduction alert system which they believe could have helped find their missing daughter Madeleine.

A majority of members of the European Parliament have now signed a declaration calling for the introduction of the so-called Amber Alert system, which would involve much greater co-operation between countries when a child is reported missing.
The McCanns began their campaign after discovering that border officials in Spain were not told about Madeleine's abduction from a Portuguese holiday resort until 12 hours after the alarm was raised, giving kidnappers ample time to flee abroad.
Under the Amber Alert system police forces in neighbouring countries would be alerted immediately to a child's disappearance and descriptions or pictures of the child could be quickly circulated to the media. A similar system in America is credited with returning 400 children to their parents in five years.
For a declaration lodged in the European Parliament to become a resolution, a simple majority of 393 MEPs must sign it, and today the tally reached 398, meaning it will now be sent to the EU children's commissioner with a recommendation that it is implemented.
Gerry and Kate McCann said in a statement: "This is wonderful news. We would like to thank each and every one of the MEPs who backed this declaration. By doing so they are helping to make Europe a safer place for children.
"Hopefully this will also mean that far fewer families have to suffer the pain that we are continuing to endure. We now urge the commission to act swiftly in taking forward a Europe-wide missing child alert structure."
Edward McMillan-Scott, the Tory MEP for Yorkshire and Humber who helped the McCanns lobby MEPs during two visits to Strasbourg, said: "I'm delighted a majority of MEPs have now backed this important initiative. Now it has real impetus and hopefully it will help save children who have been abducted, as a similar system has done in America."
A final decision on whether to implement the scheme, and the details of how it would work, are now in the hands of the EU children's commissioner, Jacques Barrot, but the McCanns are hopeful the scheme will be up and running within one to two years.
The couple, together with their twins Sean and Amelie, are currently enjoying their first family holiday since Madeleine's disappearance in Praia da Luz in May last year, a few days before her fourth birthday.

Code Madeleine launched to keep children Safe

A new initiative backed by Madeleine McCann's parents will be launched to help keep children safe on holiday.The six point plan - named Code Madeleine - outlines what parents should do if their child goes missing.The code - similar to the Code Adam scheme in the US which is named after abducted six-year-old Adam Walsh - was developed by the Federation of Tour Operators, the Association of British Travel Agents and the News of the World who will launch the plan in tomorrow's paper.The objective of Code Madeleine is to trigger a system of securing premises and systematically searching for a missing child in the critical hours immediately after they are reported missing.Madeleine's parents Gerry and Kate McCann are supporting the scheme."Kate and I fully endorse the Code Madeleine scheme," Mr McCann said."Kate and I hope that this new code will help protect British families when they are on holiday."The six points are:Hotel management or holiday company staff to immediately obtain a photograph and detailed description of the missing child, and to assist parents in liaising with the police.Designated employee to page Code Madeleine via nearest in-house telephone - implementing the procedure of circulating the photograph and communicating a detailed description of the missing child throughout the hotel.Hotel staff, supported by holiday company representatives on the premises, to assist in search of public areas and to monitor entrances and exits from the premises.If the missing child is not found within 10 minutes of initial search of public areas, parent to take decision to notify local police. Hotel management or holiday company staff to assist.Hotel management or holiday company staff to use best endeavours to ensure any suspected crime scene area is isolated and kept free of contamination until police arrive.If the child is found accompanied by someone other than a parent or legal guardian, reasonable efforts to delay their departure will be used without putting the child, staff, or visitors at risk. Police will be notified and given details about the person accompanying the child.Holiday firms will now be asked to sign up to the code and train staff on what to do if a child goes missing.Andy Cooper, director general of the Federation of Tour Operators, said: "All of our major members have agreed to support Code Madeleine and adopt the six-point plan to help make children safer while on holiday."Code Madeleine launchedThe six point plan - named Code Madeleine - outlines what parents should do if their child goes missing.Keep an eye on your children with GPSRoSPA: Let children learn by taking risksChildren 'missing out on crucial friendships'Related sitesBring Madeleine home'We will NEVER give up looking for Madeleine.'

MADELEINE McCANN : A STILL UNSOLVED MYSTERY

This past May the 4th, there was a very sad, heart-wrenching anniversary, that is the one of the 2nd year of Madeleine McCann's disappearance. To this day, she is still missing, and we still do not have the slightest clue as to what happened to her and as to whether she is still alive or not. For many months, "thanks" to all the desinformation and the "leaks" (provided, we know that now, by the PJ, and most particularly, by Gonçalo Amaral), I was one of the most ferocious critics of the McCanns. For months, I was absolutely convinced that they knew what had happened to their daughter and/or had something to do with it. But when the files from the PJ were finally released, I experienced a complete turn-about. I now stand utterly convinced that the McCanns know NOTHING WHATSOEVER about what happened to their daughter and her whereabouts. In short, they have NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with their disappearance, except, of course, for the fact that indeed, they were incredibly naïve and grossly negligent. So, I decided to upload a series of videos made in 2007-2008 about this world-famous unsolved mystery. The viewers MUST keep in mind that these videos were made when very little facts were actually known about this baffling case, and when the only informations at hand were actually nothing more than unfounded, outrageous gossips, rumors, allegations and innuendos. One thing remains certain, though : the PJ, through their sheer inexperience and incompetence, irretrievably jeopardized this case from its very onset. In all fairness, the PJ were NOT prepared for a case of such magnitude. True, they lacked the manpower, expertise, technology, etc, to deal efficiently with such a puzzling disappearance. Granted, they were under tremendous pressure to solve this case. But nonetheless, they blew it big time by making every mistake in the book. As a retired criminologist, my take on this case is very simple. Any which way we look at it, Madeleine IS DEAD. What I mean is this : even IF she's still PHYSICALLY alive, one can only guess in what condition she is. I don't even want to imagine what became of her if adbucted by a pedophile ring, for instance. In the "very best" case scenario (illegal adoption agency, or someone childless having taken her in desperation), she would NOT be today the same Madeleine her parents once knew. Would she meet them on the street, she most probably wouldn't even recognize them. And IF she is still alive and found, "chances" are that the McCanns would face a complete stranger. So even alive, she would be, in effect, "dead" to her own parents, for the Madeleine they once knew would be gone forever...My heart goes out to Madeleine, this adorable little angel, and to her parents, Kate and Gerry McCann. :(
