Divers May Have Found Madeleine McCann Remains

Divers were searching a reservoir for Madeleine McCann over the weekend when they found a plastic bag containing small bones.  The dive was led by Portuguese lawyer Marcos Aragao Correia, who claims to have received tips from criminals saying Madeleine’s body was dumped in the water.

Correia said it is unclear if the bones are human or animal. “We found two bags, one of which contains some small bones. We don’t know at this stage if they are human bones. If they are, they look like they come from a child’s fingers. They are too small for an adult,” he said.

 

A spokesman for the missing 4-year-old’s parents, Kate and Gerry McCann, said the family is still hopeful that Madeleine is alive. “We have not been informed of anything by the police to indicate that this find is significant. There is nothing to indicate at this stage that they are human bones and they could easily be from an animal,” said the spokesman Clarence Mitchell.

 

Madeleine has been missing since May 3 of last year when she disappeared from Gerry and Kate McCann’s apartment in Portugal. The couple has been named official suspects in their daughter’s disappearance but maintain she was abducted while they were out eating dinner.
