Madeleine McCann: Investigators looking for missing UK girl want additional funds to continue search
Madeleine McCann's parents, Kate and Gerry McCann from Leicestershire, UK, promised that they would never give up the search for their missing daughter
Scotland Yard has now asked the UK Home Office to provide one more year of funding to find missing girl Madeleine McCann. The Home Office received the official request from the investigators on March 1 as the existing funding for Operation Grange is slowly drying up. So far, the investigation had spent more than £11 million ($15 million) on trying to locate Madeleine who went missing in Portugal on May 3, 2007 when she was three years old, while her parents were having dinner nearby at a tapas restaurant.
The detectives are hoping that the extra funding, which will be able to help the investigations continue until March 2020, will bring new hope to finding the girl, reported the Daily Mail.
