Madeleine McCann's mum Kate believes her daughter is still alive in the Algarve

She is convinced Madeleine never went far from the Praia da Luz resort where she was snatched in 2007 - despite thousands of reported sightings of her around the world

Kate McCann has revealed she believes missing daughter Madeleine is still alive in the Algarve.

She is convinced Madeleine never went far from the Praia da Luz resort where she was snatched on May 3 2007 - despite thousands of reported sightings of her around the world.

Launching a campaign to get a million people to sign up for missing child alerts, Kate said: “Praia da Luz is where I feel closest to her.

“That’s where she last was and I don’t think she’s been taken a million miles from there.”

As well as the scores of apparent sightings , other theories on the tot’s disappearance include that she might have been rushed out of Portugal and sold to a childless couple.

But Kate, 47, said that her and husband Gerry’s years of research has taught them that kidnapped children are not usually taken far away.

“It’s all only speculation, but we’ve learned that’s usually the case,” she said.

Kate is heading up a two-week drive to get a million people in the UK to register for free Child Rescue Alerts (CRAs).

The scheme, funded by the Royal Mail, sends appeals to phones, computers, and tablets when a child vanishes.

Kate thinks if the scheme had been around back in 2007 then Maddie, aged three at the time, may have been found within hours.

“It’s nearly nine years and that’s so ridiculous and so unbelievable,” she said.

“You think ‘gosh that could have been hours, or a day’.

“If enough people had been mobilised and galvanised early then who knows what the outcome would have been.”

With Maddie’s 13th birthday approaching in May, Kate said: “Nine years. Time just goes too quickly. It’s the quiet times that are tough.

Times when you are thinking about her - or something related to her.”

Despite Scotland Yard’s probe into Madeleine’s abduction being scaled down , her parents insist they will continue to search for her.

Kate said: “The urge to look for Madeleine absolutely hasn’t changed at all.

“You hear all the time about people who have been missing for years being found.

“We will never give up. You couldn’t settle if you thought about giving up.

“I want an end, an answer. Whatever that is.”

Some news must be due out....

Some news must be due out....

Indeed Slarti.

Dependent events.

An article comes our which is meaningless rehashed drivel, so something is in the wind, and not pig-meat.

So the McCann's believe Madeleine is still in the Algarve. What possible difference could a child rescue alert have made in her case therefore? Half an hour after she was discovered missing people were out searching the town. The following day the world was informed by the media. Without needing to sign up to an alert system, everyone in the Algarve knew about the child by the following day. Being told by text the night before would have achieved nothing. Would all residents of the Algarve rushed out of their homes at midnight and started searching around? Of course not, they would have done what they did; keep their eyes open during the following days.

How could you possibly know that?   There may have been people driving in the vicinity at that time -  who as a result of the alert -  would be able to keep an eye out for anything untoward happening on the roads.    Like a speeding car for instance?

I think you have to be signed up in order to receive these emails, so not much use if you haven't done so.

That seems to be the point of the campaign.

Gunit you have badly let yourself down with that response.  I have always found you intelligent enough previously even if always refusing to see anything from the Mccann and Justice point of view.

To say, " What possible difference could a child rescue alert have made in her case therefore? Half an hour after she was discovered missing people were out searching the town." is not a thoughtful comment.

The golden hours are the couple of hours or so immediately after the event.  The abductor and Madeleine might still be in the vicinity, and MEMORIES ARE FRESH. 
 
How do you know that everyone knew about Madeleines disappearance immediately afterwards?  You dont.  I would like to bet that it was several days before some people knew.


It is more than quite possible that Madeleine had been moved to a neighbouring town , or en route somewhere at the time she was noticed missing. 


With an alert system, people would be aware and looking rather than simply seeing and it not registering.  Also it would have got more out and more people remembering events from the minutes before.

Bring on the alert system, lets get these barstewards caught and our children saved.

ALERT SYSTEM

BE AWARE !

LOOK ! .... RATHER THAN SEE, YET NOT REGISTER !

[Carana]

There's no way of knowing whether a similar system might have helped in Madeleieine's case. It might certainly have improved the chances of someone spotting her possibly kilometres away shortly afterwards.

In any event, the alert could prove a lifesaver for numerous other children.

Thank you for the backhanded compliment Sadie.

If Madeleine was abducted it was between 9.15pm and 10.55pm. The police were called at 10.41pm and the GNR arrived at 11pm. Your couple of 'golden hours' are nearly gone now. Any alert would have been issued by the PJ, who arrived much later. I would say 2am at the earliest, if they thought it fulfilled the criteria, which I doubt. Only those who had signed up would get an alert. Most of them would have been asleep by then. The following day the TV, newspapers, etc were full of it. If you want to believe it could have made a difference, feel free, I do not.

Madeleine was abducted between 9.35pm and 10.00pm

Matt ran to the receptionj and asked them to ring the police at 10.10pm - 10.15pm.  Reception messed up and it seems failed to ring the police until 10.41pm.            Hells bells! ....Approx 30 minutes wasted by reception!!!

Why not notify people who are signed up immediately the Police,[ what ever branch], are notified?

Grab those golden hours.


Given immediate action by reception, then as soon as they heard about it a simple alert could have been given out within five minutes, by 10.20pm.  Lots of people would have caught the message then ... and memories would be fresh. 

Many more would have turned out for the search and people along the route she travelled would have properly LOOKED out... registered anything they saw and notified the police [if they dared ]
