Madeleine McCann's parents have reportedly got a fund of more than £750,000 to pay for a private investigation if the police end their search for their daughter.

To date, the police investigation for Madeleine, who was three years old when she went missing in 2007, has cost £12.5 million. The
Daily Star reports that a decision is pending as to whether the investigation should get further funding. This would be in the region of £300,000.
The McCann's have apparently been told by the Metropolitan Police that they are continuing to treat the search for Madeleine as a missing person case. Detectives are said to have also told the couple that it is "highly unlikely" that Christian Brueckner - the man that German investigators have alleged killed Madeleine - will be charged over her disappearance.
