I was doing a search for Madeleines description and happened across her missing person page on the LC site.

Does anyone else find the wording on there to be not suggesting she was abducted, but rather they are looking at what happened?


"Madeleine McCann

Madeleine McCann from Rothley, Leicestershire disappeared on May 3 2007 from Praia da Luz, Portugal, nine days before her fourth birthday.

The investigation into her disappearance is being carried out by the Portuguese police.

Leicestershire Constabulary is one of a number of UK law enforcement agencies who are supporting the Portuguese authorities with their investigation.

The role of Leicestershire Constabulary is to complete and co-ordinate UK-based enquiries at the request of the Portuguese police and any tasks completed by British police are under their direction.

At the heart of this inquiry is an innocent little girl. Our focus remains on doing everything we can to assist the Portuguese police to find out what has happened to Madeleine.

If you have any information please contact your local police."

I dont know when this was last updated but a look at the other missing persons notices on the site will make the differences clear.
