'It’s 17 years since Madeleine was taken from us. It’s hard to even say that number without shaking our heads in disbelief.'
The parents of Madeleine McCann have released a statement on the 17th anniversary of her disappearance, saying “the absence still aches”.
“Whilst we are fortunate in many ways and able to live a relatively normal and enjoyable life now, the ‘living in limbo’ is still very unsettling. And the absence still aches.”The couple added: “Your support continues to encourage us and bolsters our strength to keep going. We know the love and hope for Madeleine and the will to find her, even after so many years, remains, and we are truly thankful for that.
Responding to a parliamentary written question by Conservative peer Lord Black of Brentwood, Lord Sharpe said: “Operation Grange’s special grant budget currently funds a team of three police officers and one member of police staff, all of whom operate on a part-time basis.The prime suspect in Madeleine’s disappearance is currently on trial in Germany charged with unrelated sex offences, allegedly committed in Portugal between 2000 and 2017.
