Hunt for Madeleine McCann will continue even though the department is strapped for cash, says Met Police commissioner

Metropolitan Police commissioner came out in support of the long-running inquiry into the disappearance of Madeleine and said it would continue until it has reached its conclusion.
UPDATED DEC 20, 2018

The disappearance of three-year-old Madeleine McCann from her parents' room during their vacation in the Algarve region of Portugal in 2007 sparked what has been dubbed as "the most heavily reported missing-person case in modern history." Scotland Yard's inquiry into the disappearance, 'Operation Grange,' has accrued costs totaling around £11.75 million ($14.91 million) in taxpayer money since its launch in 2011 and was given a further boost of £150,000 by the Home Office in November, though leads of Madeleine's whereabouts remain scarce.

There has been mounting public criticism at the several million pounds spent in the case. The police federation and some former Met officers have argued the money would find better use in tackling London's record number of homicides, knife crime, and acid attacks.
