Still Searching for Madeleine McCann

Kate and Gerry McCann appeared on Oprah this week to remind the world that they are still seaching for their daughter, Madeleine McCann, who disappeared two years ago from a resort in Praia da Luze, Portugal. They showed an age-progressed sketch of Madeleine, whose sixth birthday is this month. “We’re looking for a six-year-old-girl,” Gerry stressed.

The picture we all have in our minds is of the four-year old face that became so familiar in the months following Madeleine’s disappearance. Of the age-progressed sketch, Kate said, “I don’t know that little girl.” She went on to say that the little girl she knows is the one in the earlier pictures. It’s heart-breaking to think of these two parents still searching desperately for their child. Gerry brought up the case of Elizabeth Smart, who was found a year after her abduction on a street in Utah. For more information on Madeleine’s case, go to findmadeleine.com.
