Flashback to the last time 3-year-old Madeleine McCann was seen: 10:14 p.m. on May 3, 2007, in Praia da Luz, Portugal.
Although many of the facts surrounding her 9-year disappearance remain unclear, investigators have resurfaced their efforts to locate the now teen.
“There is ongoing work,” Mick Duthie, head of Scotland Yard’s Homicide and Major Crime Command told Evening Standard. “There is always a possibility that we will find Madeleine and we hope that we will find her alive.”
Named “Operation Grange,” the British team launched thorough investigations up until 2015, when the team size was scaled back from 29 to just 4. This month, the operation was given an additional 95,000 pounds ($136,700), funding the search for a further 6 months.
“That’s what we want and that’s what the family and the public want, and that is why the Home Office continues to fund it,” Duthie said. “There is work that still needs to be done.”
