The couple have seven weeks of
guaranteed funding left for Scotland
Yard's Operation Grange, which is set to

private investigators'.
Three-year-old Madeleine vanished from a
Praia da Luz apartment in May 2007 as
her parent ate tapas at a nearby
restaurant. She would now be nearing 15
years of age. |
