Madeleine Beth McCann
Statement March 5th
2010
Events this week have yet again been incomprehensible and
particularly upsetting.
On Tuesday, the Public Prosecutor in Portugal released a large number of
documents (relating to the investigation to find our daughter Madeleine) to the
British Media, following their request for access. Disclosing such information
publicly greatly jeopardises the search for Madeleine and puts witnesses and
innocent members of the general public at risk (as well as causing them great
anxiety). Release and publication of information in this manner also
potentially compromises future investigations. It is difficult to see how
anyone benefits from this week's actions.
It is imperative that the Authorities take responsibility for
sensitive and confidential information. We, together with the general public,
need assurances that this will not be allowed to happen again. Equally, we need
absolute assurances that all credible information and leads will be
investigated.
We also urge each individual working for the media to consider
their own personal responsibility - to put commercial interests aside
occasionally and to bear in mind the potential consequences of their actions,
especially when people's lives and well-being are at risk.
Our own investigators have acted professionally and with complete
integrity. We are eager to encourage anybody who has any information which may
relate to Madeleine's abduction to contact our investigation team directly by
phone (0845 838 4699 or 800 814 028), by email
(http://www.investigation@findmadeleine.com/) or via the P.O box address given
on the website. Information may be given anonymously via each route.
We are incredibly grateful to all those who continue to support us
in our search for Madeleine. During weeks such as these, it is invaluable to
know that we are not facing this difficult journey alone
