SIX British cleaners and Portugese manual workers are among 12 “persons of interest” being sought by British police in the bid to solve the Madeleine McCann disappearance mystery.
Madeleine – whose family on her father’s side have strong Donegal links – disappeared from an apartment while on holidays in Portugal on May 3, 2007, just a few weeks after spending Easter in Donegal.
The Mail on Sunday says there are 12 persons of interest.
It also reports that Portugese police did not trace all those who had been in or around the Ocean resort complex where Madeleine was last seen alive.
British police also discovered that no attempts were made by the Portugese to monitor all the mobile phone activity in the area at the time.
It’s reported that six British ‘freelance’ cleaners in a white van had been offering their services in Praia da Luz in May 2007.
On May 3 past, six years after Madeleine went missing, Kate McCann posted on the “Find Madeleine” website that the family was there “for the long haul.”
“We still worry about her, we miss her as much as we ever did,” she wrote.
“We remain as determined as ever to find her and to know what has happened.”
