Cops end Maddie investigation
2008-07-01 11:10
Lisbon - Portuguese media are reporting that police are dropping their investigation into the disappearance of Madeleine McCann due to a lack of evidence.
The British girl went missing in Portugal's Algarve region during a family vacation on May 3 last year, a few days before her fourth birthday.
Detectives named her parents and a local man as formal suspects in the case.
Two Portuguese newspapers reported on Tuesday that police could reopen the case if new evidence emerges.
The papers cited unidentified police sources.
Officials could not immediately be reached for comment.
