i m absolutely confident that kate s will help the search directly and indirectly. kate mccann s book was really a cry for help. but in the end it included a plea, a plea to reopen the case. thank you very much. a plea the mccanns would aim next at britain s prime minister. in a letter printed in one of the big tabloid newspapers in the uk, they essentially begged prime minister cameron to open up a review of the case. i believe there are bits of information that haven t been linked up to each other which could then be significant. and in the end, david cameron did respond within 24 hours of the mccanns open letter appearing in the press. he had authorized the metropolitan police to undertake a review of the case. in 2011, scotland yard ordered a review called operation grange. their task, to assume nothing
remove the evidence. false media reports circulated that dna found in the rental car matched madeleine s. it would take almost a year for the correct dna results to be released. in the meantime, the damage was done. tonight, a major break. police are focusing their attention on two suspects, madeleine s mom and dad. four months after madeleine s disappearance, her parents were named formal suspects. they were shocked. disbelief first of all, and then it was just almost devastation. it was devastation that suddenly if they were looking at us, who was looking for madeleine. and i thought there is no one looking for my little girl. two days after being named suspects, the mccanns returned to england, clutching their twins, but without madeleine. we have played no part in the
many salacious newspaper headlines even implied the mccanns may have had something to do with the death and disappearance of their daughter. so in 2008, the mccanns sued several of those papers for libel and won. many of them issued front-page apologies and award in order than $1 million into a fund established to find madeleine. gerry and kate weren t the only victims of false reports. first suspect guido murat was awarded over $1 million in libel damages. and their friends, the tapas seven settled a case for six figures. but what the mccanns wanted most was answers. so they turned to private investigators. julian peribanez was a field agent on the case. did you get the sense that they were desperate for answers? they thought that nobody was searching for madeleine. so they needed to find someone to start looking for her. an awful lot of work was
madeleine was just days before her fourth birthday. today she would be a teenager. while most experts agree it s unlikely they ll ever find her, the mccanns say they still believe in miracles and will never stop searching. and good evening, it has happened again, another one time adviser to the former president has learned that a subpoena is not something to defy. peter navarro joined steve bannon and the dubious distinction of being indicted on criminal contempt of congress charges. he was arrested at a washington area airport on his way to nashville, made a court appearance today. this comes as the house january 6th committee prepares to hold tell analyzed appearances next week thursday night at prime
the case since the mccanns were cleared. randi kaye has followed this case for years, and she traveled to germany to speak to the prosecutor who made the break in the case. here s a clip from her documentary airing tonight on cnn. what makes you so certain that madeleine mccann is dead? we have evidence for this. we have no forensic evidence, but we have other evidence. i m not allowed to speak about this in detail at the moment. you wouldn t come out and say madeleine mccann was dead if you thought there was a chance she wasn t, correct? yes. so to be clear, the formal suspect in madeleine mccann s case is a convicted rapist and known pedophile. yes. shockingly authorities received their first tip on bruckner back in 2013, but as a witness in the mccann case, not a suspect. he allegedly lied and told authorities he wasn t in portugal at the time of the disappearance. this may have been the biggest mistake in this case.
