Police in the United Kingdom have requested more funding to investigate the disappearance of Madeleine McCann, which has baffled investigators since 2007.

The Daily Mirror reported that the Metropolitan Police, which is in charge of police activity across London, approached the U.K. Home Office for more money. The Home Office confirmed that more funding is being considered.
