Blood found in hunt for Madeline

[OhLiam]

Police in Portugal have refused to comment on reports that traces of blood, believed to be that of Madeleine McCann, have been found on a wall in the holiday apartment in Praia da Luz where the Leicestershire girl went missing.

The blood was discovered early last week by British sniffer dogs specially trained to find remains of bodies, the Portuguese paper Jornal de Noticias reported.

Detectives now believe it is most likely Madeleine is dead, having been killed accidentally, the newspaper claimed.

There has been no official confirmation of this and Madeleine's parents Gerry and Kate McCann have repeatedly said they are optimistic they will be reunited with their daughter.

Meanwhile, Belgian police are carrying out DNA tests on a drinks bottle used by a girl resembling Madeleine as the 100th day since the youngster's disappearance approaches.

A possible sighting of the missing four-year-old in the Flemish town of Tongeren, near the Dutch border, is being investigated by the Belgian authorities.

A customer at a restaurant in the town told police she was "100% sure" she had seen the youngster.

Mrs McCann has been carrying out a series of interviews this week.

She told the website www.marieclaire.co.uk of her frustration that time was passing without a major breakthrough in the police investigation.

She said: "There's no doubt we have some very low times. The hope is still there. We're still trying very much to be positive. We have to keep going for us and for the twins. And also for Madeleine."

i find it very weird that they didn't find it before.
like when they first came to investigate & check the room for any evidence.
obv they didn't search well enough because they're finding this how many months later?
wow, that's horrible.

Lets hope its blood from the abductor. Maddy may of tried to fend the person off?

Actually they are testing it in the uk to see if it is blood - if it is they will do dna tests.

I'm not sure hwere I heard his but it was either not madeleines blood, or it wasn't blood.

I'm getting a bit sick of all this news about madeleine. No other very young children got publicity and this much help, so why should she? It is time to give up, I think.

Frodo, a very young girl trying to fight off a fully grown man/woman? There is no way and he definitely wouldn't draw blood.

This is pathetic

thousands go missing, but she gets all the attention, this may sound harsh but i really couldn't care less.

I still maintain that there is no chace of finding her. All these stories must be really hurting the parents giving them false hope.

Can't we just leave her alone now? She is most likely dead but if not, we really do not care anymore. The campaigns won't find her and making everyone aware won't help, Britain is miles away from Portugal (or was it Spain?) so how do they expect a publicity campaign in a completely different country to make her chances of being found (dead or alive) any bigger?

If it was blood, they're either extremely slow OR someone planted it there, just to make the news a bit more interesting.

EDIT: Isn't the whole predicament testing the family's trust in God?

If you had a 4 year old sister, and she went missing, you'd want all this publiticy, yes others don't get it, but if it makes the chances of finding one little girl alive then i'm 100% behind it.

You don't care, the family do, if she's found because of this publicity then it's a good thing.

yes because a 5/6/7 year old (however old she is) is going to be able to fend off a grown adult?

:rolleyes:
