McCann lawyers in website demand

Lawyers representing Kate and Gerry McCann have demanded a website claiming their daughter was not abducted be taken down. The Madeleine Foundation claims Madeleine is dead and her parents bear some responsibility for her death. In a statement on its website, the foundation says libel specialists Carter-Ruck have also demanded they hand over all remaining copies of leaflets and booklets they published to support their claims. The spokesman for the McCann family, Clarence Mitchell said: "Kate and Gerry have consistently made it clear they will not dignify the actions of the so-called Madeleine Foundation with any comment whatsoever. "However Carter-Ruck's position is now clear and it is in the hands of Kate and Gerry's defamation lawyers." The statement on the foundation's website states they were given until Friday to reply to Carter-Ruck's letters and were now taking legal advice. Madeleine was nearly four when she vanished from her family's rented holiday apartment in Praia da Luz on May 3 2007 while her parents dined with friends nearby. Mr and Mrs McCann, both doctors from Rothley, Leicestershire, tapped into the huge public interest into their daughter's disappearance and made repeated appeals for information. They feared their daughter had been abducted and taken abroad and set up an official findmadeleine.com website as part of their campaign to be re-united with their daughter.(my view)barbara knows my view on this topic
