The Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf received an anonymous letter claiming that the body of four-year-old Madeleine McCann is hidden, buried under rocks a short distance from the where she was abducted on May 3rd. The newspaper passed the letter on to the Portuguese police who are taking it very seriously.

This has to be tough twist for Kate and Gerry McCann. Sky News reports that they were very upset at reports - but no evidence - that police diggers had arrived at the site. They has planned on some down time to grieve and catch up after 40 straight days of hard work keeping Madeleine McCann in the front of everyone’s minds.

They have been to Spain, Italy, Germany, the Netherlands and Morocco to try to track her down. Their nightmare started on May 3 when Madeleine was taken from the family’s holiday apartment in the Mark Warner Ocean Club resort as her parents ate at a tapas bar only meters away.

She was sleeping next to her younger brother and sister, but they slept through her abduction and are too young to understand what has happened. [source]

There is no evidence that the claims are real, but the Portuguese police are investigating and naturally the parents are distraught. But then, I can’t imagine how distraught they have been since the horrible day their daughter was abducted.

We can only hope and pray that by some miracle the child is found safe.
