It is apparent that Scotland Yard still has work to do as far as investigating Madeleine's disappearance is concerned,
in my opinion they would not be asking for continued funding if they were ready to quit because they had reached the end of the line.
It seems that it is still possible that Madeleine's case is still capable of being resolved ~ and one can only hope that will be to Madeleine's benefit and that of her family.
Madeleine McCann probe police seek more cashThe Home Office is considering an application from Scotland Yard for extra funding to continue the hunt for the missing girl.
September 26 2018
Scotland Yard bosses have applied for more funding to continue the hunt for Madeleine McCann.
There was speculation over the future of the investigation when it emerged that funding would run out at the end of September.
But the Home Office has now confirmed that it is considering an application from the force for more cash.
In a blog published on Wednesday, it said: “We have received and are considering a request from the Metropolitan Police Service to extend funding for Operation Grange until the end of March 2019.
“The Home Office maintains an ongoing dialogue with the MPS regarding funding for Operation Grange.”
Madeleine was three when she was last seen on holiday with her parents in Praia da Luz in Portugal in May 2007.
Scotland Yard launched its own investigation, Operation Grange, into her disappearance in 2013 after a Portuguese inquiry failed to make any headway.
UK detectives were granted an extra £150,000 in March to continue the probe, to cover until the end of September.
Operation Grange has cost £11.6 million so far.
