Madeleine McCann: Police To Make First Arrests In Girl’s Disappearance

Scotland Yard police are prepared to make arrests in the case of Madeleine McCann, after her devastating disappearance shocked families around the world.

“The letter is said to request permission to arrest the burglars so that the British detectives can question them about their activities around the time the little girl went missing,” reported The Daily Mail. Madeleine’s heartbroken parents, Kate and Gerry, described the letter as a “significant development” in their daughter’s case. They have not entirely lost hope that their daughter might one day be found alive.
