Madeleine’s Eye Holds Vital Clue
13-05-2007
Madeleine McCann’s family believe a new picture of the missing four-year-old could play a vital role in the search for her.
The photo clearly shows her distinctive right eye, where the pupil runs into the blue-green iris.
It is this distinguishing mark that will identify Madeleine to those on the lookout for her, according to aunt and uncle John and Diane McCann.
The Glasgow couple aim to distribute the appeal poster, which features the Crimestoppers telephone number, as far afield as they can.
Her right eyeFamily friend Andrew Renwick told Sky News that support for the search had been “overwhelming” and her family were extremely grateful.
Mrs McCann said: “The purpose of the poster is to highlight the distinction in Madeleine’s eye.
“We want to make the most of it, because we know her hair could potentially be cut or dyed.”
Mr McCann added: “The poster was designed by a friend of the family and I’ve begun emailing it to acquaintances in different parts of the world.
“I’m asking people to circulate it the best they can and make it be seen.”

Did Madeleine Wander Off?
Former Scotland Yard detective John O’Connor has been in Portugal trying to pick up clues. He believes Madeleine may have in fact wandered out of the apartment to a nearby supermarket from where she was taken and he thinks she is still close by.
