Top cop initially believed Madeleine McCann’s dad was involved in her disappearance
However, the child protection expert has since come to the firm view that her parents had nothing to do with Maddie’s abduction, following further investigation.
At the time, Gamble helped Gerry construct a letter of appeal and said: ‘I did it along the lines that sometimes people make terrible mistakes in life they never intended, but ultimately it’s never too late to do the right thing.The former head of the Child Exploration and Online Protection Centre added: ‘I think it was the only way of delivering that message or reflecting that thought – if something had happened, if it was a mistake, it’s never too late to come out and stop all of it.
And Gamble later told the documentary: ‘Now I don’t believe that Kate and Gerry McCann had anything to do with the fact that their daughter has gone missing and potentially had been abducted.’He has also called the Portuguese police’s decision to name them as formal suspects as ‘clutching a straw’.The McCanns said they did not want to take part in the documentary, which features ‘thorn in our sides’ Goncalo Amaral, a former police chief who said Maddie is dead and her parents faked her kidnap.
