1
00:00:17,285 --> 00:00:20,085
I took a phone call
and I was asked,
2
00:00:20,165 --> 00:00:21,805
would I represent Robert Murat
3
00:00:22,045 --> 00:00:24,885
and I immediately said, "Yes."
4
00:00:27,165 --> 00:00:29,885
Robert was the ultimate good Samaritan.
5
00:00:30,645 --> 00:00:33,005
But a good Samaritan who was mugged.
6
00:00:41,885 --> 00:00:44,605
This is the third time this property
7
00:00:44,685 --> 00:00:46,445
has been searched inside and out.
8
00:00:48,205 --> 00:00:51,645
It was like talking to someone
who'd just come off a battlefield.
9
00:00:51,725 --> 00:00:53,261
They followed this lead...
10
00:00:53,285 --> 00:00:54,901
Of a potential paedophile
with no criminal record,
11
00:00:54,925 --> 00:00:57,005
an English paedophile residing here
in Praia da Luz.
12
00:00:57,365 --> 00:00:59,125
I was a mess, an absolute mess.
13
00:00:59,325 --> 00:01:04,085
I was in no fit state, um,
to... to deal with any of it, really.
14
00:01:04,765 --> 00:01:06,165
He was bewildered,
15
00:01:06,405 --> 00:01:09,965
but knew that he had to try
and restore his reputation
16
00:01:10,365 --> 00:01:11,845
and get the truth out.
17
00:01:13,645 --> 00:01:14,965
I wanted to hide.
18
00:01:15,565 --> 00:01:16,765
I needed to confront it,
19
00:01:17,205 --> 00:01:22,365
but actually confronting it
is quite a difficult job to do.
20
00:01:24,205 --> 00:01:27,125
He was taking on 11 newspapers
21
00:01:27,645 --> 00:01:29,965
and one TV news broadcaster.
22
00:01:30,405 --> 00:01:34,365
He was taking on more than anyone
I'd come across in modern times.
23
00:01:38,405 --> 00:01:40,485
And within the space
of a few weeks,
24
00:01:40,565 --> 00:01:43,845
we had a list of 92 articles,
25
00:01:43,925 --> 00:01:48,685
which contained
at least one of the seven lies
26
00:01:48,765 --> 00:01:50,645
that were being told about Robert.
27
00:01:52,965 --> 00:01:55,325
Those lies fell
into four categories.
28
00:01:55,765 --> 00:01:57,765
One, that Robert was a paedophile.
29
00:01:57,845 --> 00:02:01,005
Two, that he'd been involved in
that abduction of Madeleine McCann.
30
00:02:01,085 --> 00:02:03,485
Three, that he'd told lies to the police.
31
00:02:04,045 --> 00:02:06,925
And four,
that Robert displayed tendencies
32
00:02:07,005 --> 00:02:09,325
like Ian Huntley,
the Soham double murderer.
33
00:02:13,165 --> 00:02:15,485
All those allegations
were baseless and false.
34
00:02:26,405 --> 00:02:30,125
Robert Murat emerged
from the High Court with his legal team,
35
00:02:30,205 --> 00:02:34,365
who'd helped him secure
£600,000 in damages.
36
00:02:36,965 --> 00:02:41,805
To have been catapulted into,
at one time,
37
00:02:41,885 --> 00:02:45,445
being the most famous murder suspect
in the world
38
00:02:45,645 --> 00:02:48,045
is something that none of us
can really imagine.
39
00:02:48,125 --> 00:02:50,125
Robert! Straight over here, mate.
40
00:02:50,965 --> 00:02:55,405
You generally don't get more than
about £300,000 for a libel
41
00:02:55,485 --> 00:02:56,965
and he got more than double that.
42
00:02:59,205 --> 00:03:02,005
It was good in terms of damages,
43
00:03:02,085 --> 00:03:06,245
but more important was
the extent of the apologies.
44
00:03:07,925 --> 00:03:11,845
Today's statement of a full apology
in open court
45
00:03:11,925 --> 00:03:14,605
means I can emerge
from this action vindicated.
46
00:03:20,005 --> 00:03:22,605
We'd decided that
we wouldn't take questions.
47
00:03:25,005 --> 00:03:27,285
We had a car waiting for us,
48
00:03:27,365 --> 00:03:29,245
surrounded by more photographers.
49
00:03:32,525 --> 00:03:36,005
I remember actually that
one very keen paparazzi
50
00:03:36,085 --> 00:03:38,325
opened the door of our cab,
51
00:03:38,405 --> 00:03:40,765
undid the window, slammed the door shut,
52
00:03:40,845 --> 00:03:43,325
and then poked the lens into our faces
53
00:03:43,405 --> 00:03:45,445
so he could get the closest shot of us.
54
00:03:46,325 --> 00:03:49,685
Robert and I just looked and just said,
"Well, there you go."
55
00:03:50,365 --> 00:03:51,405
Robert?
56
00:03:56,805 --> 00:04:00,125
I actually thought I would feel
absolutely fantastic about it,
57
00:04:00,205 --> 00:04:01,845
as it came to be.
58
00:04:02,765 --> 00:04:03,765
But no.
59
00:04:05,685 --> 00:04:07,085
The situation was the same.
60
00:04:07,325 --> 00:04:08,805
That child hadn't been found.
61
00:04:14,565 --> 00:04:15,565
It's about hope.
62
00:04:17,525 --> 00:04:19,965
And hope is the fuel
that keeps people going.
63
00:04:33,965 --> 00:04:37,485
Seven friends who were on holiday
in Portugal with Kate and Gerry McCann
64
00:04:37,565 --> 00:04:39,845
when their daughter Madeleine
vanished last year
65
00:04:39,925 --> 00:04:44,085
have received substantial libel damages
from Express Newspapers.
66
00:04:44,285 --> 00:04:48,125
The group received a total of £375,000
67
00:04:48,205 --> 00:04:51,245
after newspapers claimed that they may
have helped to cover up facts
68
00:04:51,325 --> 00:04:53,525
concerning
the three-year-old's disappearance.
69
00:04:53,605 --> 00:04:56,765
The money will be donated to
the Find Madeleine fund.
70
00:04:56,845 --> 00:04:59,485
Although we are very pleased
with today's result,
71
00:04:59,565 --> 00:05:03,645
it changes little when Madeleine's plight
remains ongoing.
72
00:05:04,365 --> 00:05:07,045
The McCanns are
continuing their own investigations.
73
00:05:07,125 --> 00:05:11,605
The fund to pay for that now has
an extra £375,000.
74
00:05:13,005 --> 00:05:16,085
In March, Express Newspapers apologised
to Kate and Gerry McCann
75
00:05:16,165 --> 00:05:18,165
for false stories published about them.
76
00:05:19,005 --> 00:05:20,885
I don't believe
for one single second
77
00:05:20,965 --> 00:05:23,365
that they have ever had
anything to do with it.
78
00:05:23,445 --> 00:05:24,645
They've paid a price.
79
00:05:26,285 --> 00:05:29,485
It's, um, quite, quite wrong. Quite wrong.
80
00:05:29,845 --> 00:05:31,485
Although there is no earthly reason
81
00:05:31,565 --> 00:05:34,445
why I should feel particularly friendly
towards the McCanns
82
00:05:34,525 --> 00:05:37,805
since he has spent most of his time
in the last few years
83
00:05:37,885 --> 00:05:41,205
trying actually to curtail
the powers of the press.
84
00:05:42,005 --> 00:05:43,805
But let's move on from that.
85
00:05:45,165 --> 00:05:47,245
Good evening.
The parents of Madeleine McCann
86
00:05:47,325 --> 00:05:50,205
have presented their evidence
to the Leveson Inquiry,
87
00:05:50,285 --> 00:05:53,485
which is investigating the standards
of British newspapers.
88
00:05:55,325 --> 00:05:58,965
Lord Justice Leveson's
inquiry team began its investigation
89
00:05:59,045 --> 00:06:02,285
into what went wrong in the media
and how to put it right.
90
00:06:02,765 --> 00:06:06,325
The News of the World obtained a copyof Kate McCann's private diary,
91
00:06:06,405 --> 00:06:08,285
probably from the Portuguese police.
92
00:06:08,485 --> 00:06:10,365
It published it without telling her.
93
00:06:10,965 --> 00:06:12,285
I felt totally violated.
94
00:06:12,365 --> 00:06:16,685
I'd written these words and thoughts
at the most desperate time in my life.
95
00:06:16,765 --> 00:06:18,525
Most people won't have to experience that
96
00:06:18,605 --> 00:06:21,765
and it was my only way
of communicating with Madeleine.
97
00:06:22,245 --> 00:06:25,925
And for me, you know,
there was absolutely no respect shown
98
00:06:26,005 --> 00:06:28,485
for me as a grieving mother
or as a human being.
99
00:06:29,485 --> 00:06:32,045
Photographers would either spring out
from behind a hedge
100
00:06:32,125 --> 00:06:35,005
to give, I guess, a startled look
that they could attach,
101
00:06:35,325 --> 00:06:37,165
I don't know, "fragile," "furious,"
102
00:06:37,245 --> 00:06:39,245
whatever they wanted to
put with their headline.
103
00:06:39,685 --> 00:06:44,165
Um, but there were several occasions
where they would bang on the windows,
104
00:06:44,245 --> 00:06:46,005
sometimes with the camera lenses,
105
00:06:46,205 --> 00:06:48,045
and, you know,
Amelie said to me several times,
106
00:06:48,125 --> 00:06:49,445
"Mummy, I'm scared."
107
00:06:49,645 --> 00:06:52,685
A system has to be put in place
to protect ordinary people
108
00:06:52,765 --> 00:06:54,565
from the damage that the media can cause.
109
00:06:56,605 --> 00:07:00,885
This was an unprecedented story
that in my 50 years of experience,
110
00:07:01,245 --> 00:07:02,925
I can't remember the like.
111
00:07:03,005 --> 00:07:06,245
We published many, many stories, um,
112
00:07:06,805 --> 00:07:09,125
of all kinds about the McCanns,
113
00:07:09,205 --> 00:07:12,165
many stories that were
deeply sympathetic to them,
114
00:07:12,245 --> 00:07:14,645
some stories that were not.
115
00:07:14,965 --> 00:07:17,405
Yes, but the stories
that were not
116
00:07:17,485 --> 00:07:19,445
were a little bit more than unsympathetic.
117
00:07:19,525 --> 00:07:23,485
Some of them went so far as to accuse them
of killing their child, didn't they?
118
00:07:23,605 --> 00:07:27,365
There was reason to believe
that they might possibly be true.
119
00:07:28,285 --> 00:07:30,285
So that was a sufficient basis?
120
00:07:30,365 --> 00:07:32,965
"Reason to believe that
they might possibly be true
121
00:07:33,085 --> 00:07:35,685
so we'll whack it in the paper."
That's true isn't it?
122
00:07:36,005 --> 00:07:38,405
I don't use expressions like
"whack it in the paper."
123
00:07:38,685 --> 00:07:40,925
I find that to be
a very judgmental expression.
124
00:07:41,005 --> 00:07:43,245
Yes, well, okay, I...
125
00:07:43,405 --> 00:07:46,005
Well, I don't actually apologize for it.
I'm going to carry on.
126
00:07:52,645 --> 00:07:55,565
Now, Mr MacKenzie,
you were editor of The Sun
127
00:07:55,645 --> 00:07:58,525
between 1981 and 1994.
128
00:07:58,605 --> 00:07:59,845
Correct. Mm-hmm.
129
00:08:00,325 --> 00:08:02,925
Well, you said in your seminar,
130
00:08:03,005 --> 00:08:04,005
"Basically, my view
131
00:08:04,085 --> 00:08:06,925
is that if it sounded right,
it was probably right,
132
00:08:07,005 --> 00:08:08,925
and therefore we should lob it in."
133
00:08:09,085 --> 00:08:12,685
Do you stand by... by that, Mr MacKenzie?
134
00:08:12,885 --> 00:08:16,165
Yes, I do. I suppose what it comes down to
135
00:08:16,245 --> 00:08:18,005
- is the verb "to lob."
- Yes.
136
00:08:18,085 --> 00:08:21,085
Which I would say, if you analyse it,
137
00:08:21,165 --> 00:08:22,685
I looked it up on...
138
00:08:22,765 --> 00:08:24,525
I looked it up on the online dictionary
139
00:08:24,605 --> 00:08:27,325
and it says, "To throw in a slow arc,"
140
00:08:27,685 --> 00:08:29,685
which I think is probably preferable
141
00:08:29,885 --> 00:08:32,685
to another verb, which would be
"to chuck it in."
142
00:08:32,805 --> 00:08:36,125
I just wonder whether
it merely looking right
143
00:08:36,205 --> 00:08:38,285
is a sufficient test of accuracy.
144
00:08:38,365 --> 00:08:40,685
Okay, so journalists try
to get things right.
145
00:08:40,765 --> 00:08:41,965
People tell you lies.
146
00:08:42,045 --> 00:08:44,045
Sometimes they think it's the truth
147
00:08:44,325 --> 00:08:47,245
and then you get a phone call
the following day and somebody says,
148
00:08:47,325 --> 00:08:49,325
"That's completely wrong.
They weren't there."
149
00:08:50,285 --> 00:08:55,445
Getting facts right, of course,
is a difficult exercise,
150
00:08:55,525 --> 00:08:59,645
but that's not an excuse
for not having a go.
151
00:08:59,725 --> 00:09:01,285
No, I agree, I agree,
152
00:09:01,365 --> 00:09:03,165
and I may have misphrased that slightly,
153
00:09:03,245 --> 00:09:06,045
but not a lot, to be honest,
not a lot.
154
00:09:07,565 --> 00:09:09,405
The problem with journalism,
155
00:09:10,165 --> 00:09:12,925
it takes out
the natural emotion out of you.
156
00:09:13,285 --> 00:09:15,965
Regardless of what you think,
this is a commercial animal.
157
00:09:16,485 --> 00:09:18,205
Your job is to serve the reader.
158
00:09:18,805 --> 00:09:21,765
The reader is fascinated by this story,
159
00:09:22,245 --> 00:09:26,445
therefore it becomes
a major front-page story and stays so.
160
00:09:26,605 --> 00:09:28,925
This isn't something
that has ever gone away.
161
00:09:29,885 --> 00:09:31,885
Which is something the politicians know
162
00:09:32,245 --> 00:09:34,525
which is why they continue
to write the check
163
00:09:35,085 --> 00:09:36,965
to try and get to the bottom of it.
164
00:09:45,205 --> 00:09:46,725
The McCanns asked to see me.
165
00:09:49,085 --> 00:09:50,325
So I said I would see them.
166
00:09:51,725 --> 00:09:55,845
The Home Secretary position
is one of the great offices of state.
167
00:09:56,685 --> 00:10:00,685
You are responsible for policing,
counter-terrorism, and immigration.
168
00:10:02,245 --> 00:10:04,165
In America,
they would have called it
169
00:10:04,245 --> 00:10:06,125
the Department for Inland Security.
170
00:10:07,205 --> 00:10:11,925
The McCanns' argument was very clear
and very powerful.
171
00:10:13,125 --> 00:10:16,005
This is a British child.
172
00:10:16,565 --> 00:10:20,405
She may have disappeared in Portugal,
but she is a British responsibility.
173
00:10:21,205 --> 00:10:24,245
And basically they wanted responsibility
for dealing with this
174
00:10:24,325 --> 00:10:27,325
to be passed to Scotland Yard,
to the Metropolitan Police.
175
00:10:28,525 --> 00:10:32,205
There was a feeling that we were being
dragged into something that...
176
00:10:33,045 --> 00:10:37,285
would just increase expectation
without being able to deliver anything,
177
00:10:37,645 --> 00:10:41,205
that it would damage
our relationship with Portugal.
178
00:10:42,245 --> 00:10:43,605
Once I'd thought it over,
179
00:10:45,005 --> 00:10:48,045
I thought, "There's one man who can
help me with this and that's Jim Gamble."
180
00:10:48,325 --> 00:10:50,965
The idea behind this 60-second...
181
00:10:51,045 --> 00:10:54,925
Jim Gamble was
an amazingly impressive person.
182
00:10:55,005 --> 00:10:56,581
To an individual person.
183
00:10:56,605 --> 00:10:58,445
We called it "the scoping review."
184
00:10:58,645 --> 00:11:01,805
The officials were
fundamentally opposed to it
185
00:11:01,885 --> 00:11:05,445
and as... as forthright in that
as they could be.
186
00:11:05,725 --> 00:11:07,461
Alan Johnson just cut
straight through that
187
00:11:07,485 --> 00:11:09,805
in a way I've never seen
any government official do before.
188
00:11:09,925 --> 00:11:12,205
Incidentally,
the Opposition supporting it as well,
189
00:11:12,285 --> 00:11:13,285
then we went to...
190
00:11:13,365 --> 00:11:17,125
Here were the parents who'd been through
so much fire and brimstone
191
00:11:17,205 --> 00:11:20,525
and so much unfair criticism...
192
00:11:22,325 --> 00:11:24,805
and they were asking for a bit of help.
Uh, pfft.
193
00:11:25,565 --> 00:11:27,005
It's a no-brainer, really.
194
00:11:28,285 --> 00:11:31,645
They have asked for help
to find their daughter before,
195
00:11:31,845 --> 00:11:34,765
but tonight, in an open letter
to the Prime Minister,
196
00:11:35,165 --> 00:11:38,445
Kate and Gerry McCann's
raw frustration is clear.
197
00:11:39,165 --> 00:11:41,285
No law enforcement agency or police force
198
00:11:41,365 --> 00:11:43,725
has been looking for Madeleine
for three years.
199
00:11:44,445 --> 00:11:45,925
We've been doing it on our own
200
00:11:46,045 --> 00:11:48,285
and we're taking this opportunity today
201
00:11:48,365 --> 00:11:50,285
along with the open letter
to the Prime Minister
202
00:11:50,365 --> 00:11:53,325
to ask the public to once again help us,
like they did...
203
00:11:53,405 --> 00:11:55,525
Unfortunately,
the scoping report came
204
00:11:55,605 --> 00:11:57,405
just as the general election took place,
205
00:11:57,805 --> 00:11:59,725
so I was no longer Home Secretary
206
00:11:59,805 --> 00:12:04,045
and nothing much seemed to happen,
207
00:12:04,325 --> 00:12:08,645
and then The Sun picked up the campaign.
208
00:12:13,245 --> 00:12:15,645
And then there was
that powerful open letter.
209
00:12:16,685 --> 00:12:18,805
Suddenly, we got the right result.
210
00:12:22,925 --> 00:12:24,565
May 2011,
211
00:12:24,925 --> 00:12:27,685
the then-Prime Minister David Cameron
212
00:12:28,045 --> 00:12:33,085
decided that there should be
a review of the case by Scotland Yard,
213
00:12:33,165 --> 00:12:36,645
and this review was to be called
Operation Grange.
214
00:12:37,885 --> 00:12:40,725
This was a crime that touched the heart
of everyone in the country
215
00:12:40,805 --> 00:12:43,525
and everyone would like
to see it resolved.
216
00:12:44,445 --> 00:12:47,125
I distinctly remember
asking this question.
217
00:12:47,805 --> 00:12:53,565
Uh, "Do we believe there are
extant, um, lines of inquiry
218
00:12:53,645 --> 00:12:56,525
that we can bring
our special expertise to?"
219
00:12:58,725 --> 00:13:00,205
And once they said to me "yes,"
220
00:13:00,805 --> 00:13:02,885
there are likely to be
viable lines of inquiry
221
00:13:02,965 --> 00:13:04,885
that we can bring special value to,
222
00:13:04,965 --> 00:13:07,685
that would satisfy my criteria,
and it certainly did.
223
00:13:25,765 --> 00:13:30,445
The man leading the new review
of the Madeleine McCann case
224
00:13:30,925 --> 00:13:33,885
was Detective Chief Inspector
Andy Redwood.
225
00:13:34,205 --> 00:13:36,485
Primarily, what we sought to do
from the beginning
226
00:13:36,565 --> 00:13:40,965
is try and draw everything back to zero,
if you like. Try and sort of...
227
00:13:41,045 --> 00:13:43,245
And in a real sense,
he was the right man for a job.
228
00:13:43,325 --> 00:13:45,725
He'd specialised in cold cases.
229
00:13:57,765 --> 00:14:01,485
What he embarked on
was having his team of 30
230
00:14:02,445 --> 00:14:06,445
pore over the enormous documentation
that had been collected
231
00:14:06,525 --> 00:14:08,325
by the Portuguese over the years.
232
00:14:09,885 --> 00:14:14,125
So real investigation, at last,
began again.
233
00:14:16,925 --> 00:14:20,445
The Portuguese began to receive
letters of request
234
00:14:20,525 --> 00:14:23,445
from their British colleagues
to cooperate
235
00:14:23,525 --> 00:14:25,005
on aspects of the investigation.
236
00:14:26,565 --> 00:14:31,285
They decided that they too should
reopen their investigation
237
00:14:31,365 --> 00:14:32,565
of Madeleine's disappearance,
238
00:14:33,045 --> 00:14:35,605
and so a team was put together,
239
00:14:35,685 --> 00:14:38,765
none of which were involved
in the original investigation.
240
00:14:42,325 --> 00:14:45,565
This morning, officers
taped off an area of scrubland
241
00:14:45,645 --> 00:14:47,005
outside Praia da Luz
242
00:14:47,085 --> 00:14:48,365
and set to work.
243
00:14:48,685 --> 00:14:52,245
Just one small patch,
perhaps 100 square meters,
244
00:14:52,325 --> 00:14:53,925
in the middle of all of this.
245
00:14:54,365 --> 00:14:57,445
Something within their investigation
had drawn a possible link
246
00:14:57,525 --> 00:15:01,365
between this precise spot
and the disappearance of Madeleine McCann.
247
00:15:01,765 --> 00:15:05,805
For eight long days, DCI Andy Redwood
led his team on the Algarve.
248
00:15:05,885 --> 00:15:07,885
They searched hard, but found nothing.
249
00:15:09,885 --> 00:15:12,925
One of the most
pivotal events on the timeline
250
00:15:13,005 --> 00:15:17,005
was Jane Tanner's sighting
of a man carrying a child.
251
00:15:17,565 --> 00:15:20,285
One of the things that
we picked up very quickly
252
00:15:20,365 --> 00:15:22,645
was the fact that
there was a night creche.
253
00:15:22,965 --> 00:15:25,845
It was operating from
the main Ocean Club reception
254
00:15:25,925 --> 00:15:28,525
and eight families
had left 11 children in there
255
00:15:28,605 --> 00:15:31,245
and one particular family we spoke to,
256
00:15:32,765 --> 00:15:36,405
they themselves believed that
they could be the Tanner sighting.
257
00:15:50,005 --> 00:15:52,005
Well, of course I naturally hoped
258
00:15:52,565 --> 00:15:59,245
that my drawing would lead
the lovely McCanns to their daughter.
259
00:16:00,565 --> 00:16:02,565
But that was not to be.
260
00:16:03,285 --> 00:16:05,285
This is the actual photograph
261
00:16:05,365 --> 00:16:07,845
taken by Metropolitan Police officers
262
00:16:07,925 --> 00:16:11,565
of the man dressed in the kind of clothes
he wore on holiday.
263
00:16:12,165 --> 00:16:16,005
This image was compared
to the artist's impression.
264
00:16:16,805 --> 00:16:19,045
It is uncannily similar.
265
00:16:19,125 --> 00:16:21,501
- But it's interesting...
- It is like him, is it?
266
00:16:21,525 --> 00:16:23,805
- Yeah, it's a perfect rendition.
- Really?
267
00:16:23,885 --> 00:16:26,765
Well, you see,
I've never been told that.
268
00:16:26,845 --> 00:16:28,605
He was carrying his own child.
269
00:16:28,845 --> 00:16:31,845
And presumably
'cause they're British tourists,
270
00:16:31,925 --> 00:16:35,165
he quite likely has got the pyjamas
from Marks & Sparks or something,
271
00:16:35,245 --> 00:16:37,645
just like the McCanns may have done.
272
00:16:38,685 --> 00:16:41,285
We know the pyjamas
that their child was wearing,
273
00:16:41,365 --> 00:16:45,965
that it is, again, uncannily striking,
the similarities.
274
00:16:47,325 --> 00:16:49,325
We believe that it's really significant
275
00:16:49,405 --> 00:16:51,485
that from 9:15,
276
00:16:51,565 --> 00:16:55,045
we're able to allow the clock
to continue to move forward,
277
00:16:55,125 --> 00:16:59,165
and in doing so, things that have not been
quite as significant
278
00:16:59,245 --> 00:17:01,765
or received quite the same degree
of attention
279
00:17:01,845 --> 00:17:03,605
are now the centre of our focus.
280
00:17:06,285 --> 00:17:09,085
What we're bringing today
to the public is a revision
281
00:17:09,165 --> 00:17:11,525
of the timeline in terms of emphasis.
282
00:17:14,485 --> 00:17:16,365
Discounting
Jane Tanner's sighting,
283
00:17:16,445 --> 00:17:18,245
as Scotland Yard has suggested,
284
00:17:18,685 --> 00:17:20,605
may mean that the check on apartment A
285
00:17:20,685 --> 00:17:25,965
by the McCanns' friend Matt Oldfield
AT ABOUT 9:30 has great significance.
286
00:17:30,205 --> 00:17:32,325
ABOUT 9:05,
287
00:17:32,725 --> 00:17:36,365
Gerry got up from the table to make
the first check on his own children.
288
00:17:39,245 --> 00:17:43,205
At 9:25, Matt Oldfield
went to check
289
00:17:43,285 --> 00:17:45,645
on the children on behalf of the parents,
290
00:17:45,965 --> 00:17:47,605
and he entered the apartment.
291
00:17:52,245 --> 00:17:54,525
He peered into
the McCanns' children's room,
292
00:17:54,845 --> 00:17:56,085
but didn't go in.
293
00:17:57,165 --> 00:17:59,045
He said he saw there was some light,
294
00:17:59,125 --> 00:18:03,085
indicating that perhaps a window shutter
which had been closed
295
00:18:03,485 --> 00:18:05,365
was now likely somewhat open,
296
00:18:05,845 --> 00:18:08,085
and though the door had been left
almost closed
297
00:18:08,165 --> 00:18:10,605
by Madeleine's father
on his earlier visit,
298
00:18:10,885 --> 00:18:13,525
Oldfield now noticed
that the door was half-open
299
00:18:13,605 --> 00:18:15,605
and he heard a noise in there,
300
00:18:16,165 --> 00:18:22,245
um, which he thought was just the noise
of somebody turning over in bed, perhaps,
301
00:18:22,565 --> 00:18:24,965
and then he went away.
302
00:18:26,285 --> 00:18:29,285
But is it possible that
the sound Oldfield heard
303
00:18:29,805 --> 00:18:32,205
and the likelihood that
the shutter was open
304
00:18:32,445 --> 00:18:36,925
indicated that an abductor was at that
very moment in the children's room?
305
00:18:38,605 --> 00:18:41,045
Or did Oldfield's check
perhaps occur
306
00:18:41,125 --> 00:18:43,125
just after a kidnapper had left,
307
00:18:43,605 --> 00:18:45,845
likely through the window
onto the car park,
308
00:18:46,445 --> 00:18:48,045
taking Madeleine with him?
309
00:19:05,685 --> 00:19:09,485
In 2013, Operation Grange
were well into their work.
310
00:19:09,965 --> 00:19:12,605
They were sending letters of request
for information
311
00:19:12,685 --> 00:19:16,125
to 31 countries about
the use of mobile phones
312
00:19:16,205 --> 00:19:18,965
in and around the time
that Madeleine had disappeared.
313
00:19:19,445 --> 00:19:21,965
Kate and Gerry remain very grateful
to the Metropolitan Police
314
00:19:22,045 --> 00:19:25,165
for the fantastic work
that Operation Grange continues to do.
315
00:19:25,525 --> 00:19:30,165
They would talk about
having already done 2,000 actions
316
00:19:30,245 --> 00:19:33,685
and that they had more than twice
that number still to be done.
317
00:19:34,125 --> 00:19:38,045
At the moment, we have identified
195 investigative opportunities.
318
00:19:38,685 --> 00:19:41,605
Andy, another aspect that seems to me
very important
319
00:19:41,685 --> 00:19:43,685
are all these different sightings of...
320
00:19:43,885 --> 00:19:46,821
It might be the same fair-haired man,
might be a different fair-haired man.
321
00:19:46,845 --> 00:19:48,845
Well, there is a number of incidents
322
00:19:48,925 --> 00:19:50,925
on both the day
that Madeleine went missing
323
00:19:51,005 --> 00:19:52,725
and in days leading up
to her disappearance
324
00:19:52,805 --> 00:19:55,765
where one man or two were seen
lurking around the apartments.
325
00:19:55,845 --> 00:19:58,365
Now, there may be a completely
innocent explanation for that,
326
00:19:58,445 --> 00:20:02,205
but we really need the public to help us
to identify who these men are.
327
00:20:08,245 --> 00:20:10,845
There appear to be individuals
328
00:20:11,205 --> 00:20:13,645
who had been seen by witnesses
329
00:20:14,245 --> 00:20:17,685
lurking around the McCanns' apartment
that week.
330
00:20:20,405 --> 00:20:23,245
A young girl of only 12
had spotted a man
331
00:20:23,805 --> 00:20:28,405
leaning against the wall
very near apartment 5A.
332
00:20:28,485 --> 00:20:31,005
He was thin, light-haired,
333
00:20:31,085 --> 00:20:34,805
had a badly pockmarked face, she thought.
334
00:20:35,445 --> 00:20:38,205
Another woman staying at the Ocean Club
that week
335
00:20:38,285 --> 00:20:42,045
spotted a man who she described
in a very similar way,
336
00:20:42,165 --> 00:20:45,365
a man with a badly...
ugly, pockmarked skin
337
00:20:46,125 --> 00:20:49,885
lurking around the road
outside the McCanns' apartment.
338
00:20:51,685 --> 00:20:54,765
Police in the UK are now
appealing to any other families
339
00:20:54,885 --> 00:20:57,325
who may have had similar incidents
on their holidays
340
00:20:57,445 --> 00:21:01,485
to get in touch, whether they'd previously
reported them or not.
341
00:21:08,685 --> 00:21:10,685
If you were looking
from the tapas bar,
342
00:21:11,045 --> 00:21:14,805
our apartment was on
the far left-hand side
343
00:21:15,165 --> 00:21:20,205
and the McCanns' was the last apartment
on the right-hand side.
344
00:21:23,885 --> 00:21:27,325
On that Thursday,
my sister and I were walking down here.
345
00:21:27,605 --> 00:21:30,405
Annie was... She was just walking
slightly in front of me
346
00:21:30,485 --> 00:21:32,685
and then she stopped and looked back at me
347
00:21:32,765 --> 00:21:35,965
and motioned with her head.
348
00:21:36,085 --> 00:21:38,645
And it was here that we saw the two men.
349
00:21:43,645 --> 00:21:46,021
I caught up with my sister
and I said, "What was that about?"
350
00:21:46,045 --> 00:21:50,525
And she said, "Well, two single blonde men
on their own!"
351
00:21:50,605 --> 00:21:51,605
Um...
352
00:21:51,685 --> 00:21:55,285
Which just made me chuckle,
but they were wrongly placed.
353
00:21:57,005 --> 00:22:00,845
And that was that, until later that day
354
00:22:00,925 --> 00:22:02,805
when we had heard
that Madeleine was taken.
355
00:22:02,885 --> 00:22:05,485
It was only then, piecing back,
"Who were these guys?"
356
00:22:08,445 --> 00:22:11,845
It was quite clear that nobody was
living in the apartment at the time
357
00:22:11,925 --> 00:22:13,325
or it wasn't rented out.
358
00:22:13,405 --> 00:22:15,485
There were leaves on the terrace
359
00:22:15,565 --> 00:22:18,645
and, you know, the general closed up
for the winter kind of look.
360
00:22:18,765 --> 00:22:20,525
But when the chaps were there,
361
00:22:20,605 --> 00:22:22,165
the gate was slightly ajar
362
00:22:22,765 --> 00:22:25,125
and the leaves were exactly
where they were,
363
00:22:25,205 --> 00:22:27,085
the curtains were drawn
exactly how they were.
364
00:22:27,645 --> 00:22:30,205
So they hadn't come through
the front door,
365
00:22:30,285 --> 00:22:33,605
which was obviously on the other side
where the car park is.
366
00:22:34,245 --> 00:22:37,445
So they had to have come up
through the gate and onto the terrace.
367
00:22:38,045 --> 00:22:40,005
Because I knew subsequently, obviously,
368
00:22:40,085 --> 00:22:42,325
is from that terrace,
you can look straight over the wall
369
00:22:42,365 --> 00:22:45,565
into the Ocean Club swimming pool area
and the tapas bar.
370
00:22:49,805 --> 00:22:51,845
When I was back in the UK,
371
00:22:51,925 --> 00:22:54,365
by then,
the Find Madeleine helpline was up,
372
00:22:54,885 --> 00:23:00,165
so I phoned, and that actually then led
to them contacting
373
00:23:00,565 --> 00:23:03,925
and coming and
doing their interviews here.
374
00:23:04,445 --> 00:23:08,525
Which was long. I think it was about
an eight-hour interview with the police.
375
00:23:10,445 --> 00:23:13,485
We can't be the only people
who saw them, surely.
376
00:23:14,085 --> 00:23:19,085
My theory, then it fits for me, that they
must have been there for one reason,
377
00:23:19,165 --> 00:23:21,565
which was to take Madeleine
because of the timing.
378
00:23:24,125 --> 00:23:26,565
Our appeal that we've brought
to the public today
379
00:23:26,645 --> 00:23:30,245
has got a number of
really interesting dynamics
380
00:23:30,325 --> 00:23:34,965
in terms of the blonde, fair-haired males
apparently lurking around the apartments.
381
00:23:36,525 --> 00:23:39,485
So we really need the public
to stop and pause,
382
00:23:39,565 --> 00:23:42,165
look at the information
to see if they can help us.
383
00:23:48,125 --> 00:23:49,885
A dramatic new line of inquiry
384
00:23:49,965 --> 00:23:52,805
for police investigating the disappearance
of Madeleine McCann.
385
00:23:53,005 --> 00:23:56,725
They're now looking for a man suspected
of sexually assaulting five young girls
386
00:23:56,805 --> 00:23:58,445
in Portuguese holiday resorts.
387
00:23:58,525 --> 00:24:00,605
The man, described as a lone intruder,
388
00:24:00,685 --> 00:24:02,605
attacked the girls in their beds,
389
00:24:02,685 --> 00:24:05,525
two of them in Praia da Luz,
the very resort...
390
00:24:05,605 --> 00:24:09,325
Three families coming
forward with stories of the lone intruder,
391
00:24:09,445 --> 00:24:12,605
incidents that had been reported
to Portuguese police,
392
00:24:12,885 --> 00:24:14,885
but had not been passed on to the Yard.
393
00:24:15,365 --> 00:24:17,005
One startling element
394
00:24:17,085 --> 00:24:20,525
is the sheer number of cases
395
00:24:20,605 --> 00:24:25,885
in which there was evidence
that a sexual predator had been active
396
00:24:25,965 --> 00:24:27,445
in the area of Praia da Luz,
397
00:24:27,525 --> 00:24:30,925
within 40 miles of where
Madeleine McCann disappeared.
398
00:24:34,405 --> 00:24:36,285
British police investigating,
399
00:24:36,365 --> 00:24:39,845
they found that there had been
no less than 28 cases,
400
00:24:40,285 --> 00:24:45,925
and typically the sexual predator
had been making his way
401
00:24:46,725 --> 00:24:52,085
into houses that were owned by
or rented by British tourists.
402
00:24:55,805 --> 00:24:57,805
One case that we came across,
403
00:24:58,285 --> 00:25:02,645
the parents of the children had been
asleep in their bedroom
404
00:25:02,725 --> 00:25:03,845
with the door closed,
405
00:25:04,725 --> 00:25:09,285
and their two daughters, an 11-year-old
and a seven-year-old,
406
00:25:09,565 --> 00:25:13,085
had been asleep in the next door room.
407
00:25:24,925 --> 00:25:29,685
He'd come in and had laid down
on the bed of the younger child.
408
00:25:31,725 --> 00:25:34,565
From what the little girls
told their parents afterwards,
409
00:25:34,765 --> 00:25:40,565
the man had come into the room
wearing a sort of medical mask.
410
00:25:41,525 --> 00:25:45,085
The child had said, "Is that you, Daddy?"
411
00:25:45,605 --> 00:25:48,365
He was speaking English, saying, "Yes,"
412
00:25:49,205 --> 00:25:51,125
but sounding like a foreigner.
413
00:25:55,445 --> 00:26:00,685
The offender himself is described
as having dark... um, dark skin,
414
00:26:00,765 --> 00:26:02,845
dark as in tanned skin,
415
00:26:03,245 --> 00:26:05,645
short, black unkempt hair.
416
00:26:06,285 --> 00:26:08,485
We know that he spoke to the
children largely,
417
00:26:08,565 --> 00:26:10,125
when he did speak, in English.
418
00:26:10,405 --> 00:26:12,565
And he had
a funny smell about him
419
00:26:12,685 --> 00:26:14,885
that just said it wasn't Daddy.
420
00:26:28,165 --> 00:26:30,965
In four of the most serious cases,
421
00:26:31,045 --> 00:26:34,365
he has sexually assaulted
young white female children
422
00:26:34,445 --> 00:26:36,125
whilst they're in their bedrooms.
423
00:26:36,205 --> 00:26:39,645
These children are between the ages
of seven to ten years of age
424
00:26:39,725 --> 00:26:43,205
and obviously this is a serious matter
that we need to understand more about.
425
00:26:43,285 --> 00:26:47,165
Once we've identified this offender,
we need to be able to prove or disprove
426
00:26:47,245 --> 00:26:49,165
whether these offences and that offender
427
00:26:49,245 --> 00:26:52,005
is connected to the disappearance
of Madeleine McCann.
428
00:26:54,485 --> 00:26:57,085
She's been missing now
for nearly seven years,
429
00:26:57,165 --> 00:27:00,445
but detectives are working on
yet another possible lead.
430
00:27:02,445 --> 00:27:05,885
When we made inquiries
about the sexual assaults
431
00:27:05,965 --> 00:27:10,845
to the Mark Warner company who ran
the Ocean Club at that time,
432
00:27:11,405 --> 00:27:15,685
we were told that they didn't comment
on whether or not they had been aware
433
00:27:15,765 --> 00:27:18,565
or knew of these sexual assaults
at the time.
434
00:27:18,685 --> 00:27:21,885
Likewise, when we've sent a letter
to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office,
435
00:27:22,205 --> 00:27:23,205
they declined to comment,
436
00:27:23,285 --> 00:27:26,885
saying they were not then
commenting on any such cases.
437
00:27:28,445 --> 00:27:30,565
In 2007 in the Algarve,
438
00:27:30,645 --> 00:27:33,445
the Consul, when asked about the matter,
439
00:27:33,525 --> 00:27:36,205
said it had not been their job
440
00:27:36,285 --> 00:27:38,045
to give any such warnings.
441
00:27:38,925 --> 00:27:40,645
And I think we asked the question,
442
00:27:40,725 --> 00:27:44,045
"If we have consular alerts at all,
443
00:27:44,125 --> 00:27:46,605
then why wasn't something as serious
444
00:27:46,685 --> 00:27:50,405
as the possibility of
a child sexual predator being around,
445
00:27:50,485 --> 00:27:56,885
why wasn't that posted in any kind of
a warning by the British Foreign Office?"
446
00:27:58,725 --> 00:28:01,245
Would they have left their children alone
447
00:28:01,325 --> 00:28:03,885
had they known there was
a sexual predator about?
448
00:28:04,685 --> 00:28:08,285
It seems highly unlikely that they
or any other parent would.
449
00:28:14,285 --> 00:28:16,445
There were two sightings
that it seems to me
450
00:28:16,525 --> 00:28:19,125
haven't had sufficient attention, perhaps.
451
00:28:21,885 --> 00:28:26,485
At 10:45 p.m. on the night
that Madeleine disappeared,
452
00:28:27,445 --> 00:28:30,485
a car was seen by a British witness
453
00:28:31,725 --> 00:28:33,085
with a woman in the front,
454
00:28:33,165 --> 00:28:36,245
looking into the back of the car,
455
00:28:37,725 --> 00:28:41,405
and he recognised her, knew the couple,
456
00:28:42,005 --> 00:28:45,405
and he knew that the woman
very much wanted to have a child
457
00:28:45,485 --> 00:28:47,925
and apparently had been
unable to have a child,
458
00:28:48,245 --> 00:28:53,325
and that they were going in
the rough direction of the nearby marina.
459
00:28:54,125 --> 00:28:56,125
And at 6:00 a.m.,
460
00:28:56,205 --> 00:29:00,845
a man called George Brooks,
who ran a little pizza business,
461
00:29:01,205 --> 00:29:05,485
was on his way to work in his car,
and it was still dark,
462
00:29:06,125 --> 00:29:08,805
and down by the marina in Lagos,
463
00:29:09,725 --> 00:29:12,005
his lights suddenly picked up a couple,
464
00:29:14,685 --> 00:29:17,045
one of whom were carrying a baby,
465
00:29:17,125 --> 00:29:18,845
and they seemed to be very disturbed
466
00:29:18,925 --> 00:29:21,045
by the fact that he'd picked them up
in his lights.
467
00:29:21,845 --> 00:29:24,245
He says,
"You could tell from their posture
468
00:29:24,325 --> 00:29:27,805
that they were trying to carry the child
without anyone seeing it
469
00:29:28,245 --> 00:29:31,845
and they were extremely disturbed
when I caught them in my headlights."
470
00:29:33,205 --> 00:29:37,605
He reported that very early on
to the local police,
471
00:29:37,845 --> 00:29:40,565
but it wasn't followed up
until the next year.
472
00:29:41,485 --> 00:29:44,245
Possibly that was a real chance
that was missed.
473
00:29:45,925 --> 00:29:48,445
These are all possible lines
of investigation
474
00:29:48,525 --> 00:29:50,525
for the detectives of Operation Grange.
475
00:29:51,685 --> 00:29:54,085
Also, Kate McCann later revealed
476
00:29:54,245 --> 00:29:57,925
she learned something that literally
became the stuff of her nightmares.
477
00:29:59,845 --> 00:30:02,805
The McCann party felt very lucky
478
00:30:02,885 --> 00:30:06,205
because the morning after their arrival
in Praia da Luz,
479
00:30:06,765 --> 00:30:08,365
one of the group, Rachael Oldfield,
480
00:30:08,445 --> 00:30:10,845
had managed to go down
to the tapas restaurant
481
00:30:11,365 --> 00:30:14,965
and organise a block booking for the group
for the week
482
00:30:15,125 --> 00:30:17,125
at 8:30 p.m. every night.
483
00:30:17,245 --> 00:30:19,925
They felt it was the easiest place
to have dinner
484
00:30:20,005 --> 00:30:22,965
while leaving the children sleeping
in their own apartments.
485
00:30:23,165 --> 00:30:26,205
The rule was that in order to book a table
at the tapas restaurant,
486
00:30:26,285 --> 00:30:27,885
you need to book in the morning.
487
00:30:28,045 --> 00:30:30,085
Um, but we could never get on
488
00:30:30,165 --> 00:30:33,165
because there's only a small amount
of covers. I remember thinking,
489
00:30:33,245 --> 00:30:36,405
"Hang on, how's this fair
that these people are pre-booked?"
490
00:30:36,485 --> 00:30:39,645
But I think due to the size
of the McCann party,
491
00:30:40,045 --> 00:30:43,485
they allowed them to pre-book
and the week.
492
00:30:45,165 --> 00:30:46,845
A year later, while going through
493
00:30:46,885 --> 00:30:49,125
the newly-released
Portuguese police files,
494
00:30:49,205 --> 00:30:54,525
Kate McCann came across a copy of
the reservation book for the restaurant,
495
00:30:55,125 --> 00:30:57,125
and the note next to the booking indicated
496
00:30:57,205 --> 00:31:00,525
that the reason the parents wanted to dine
at that time every night
497
00:31:00,765 --> 00:31:04,325
was that they would be leaving
their children alone in the apartments.
498
00:31:04,685 --> 00:31:07,285
And the book where the entry had been made
499
00:31:07,645 --> 00:31:09,885
was visible in plain sight
in the restaurant.
500
00:31:09,965 --> 00:31:12,845
Kate McCann wrote that she was
hugely dismayed by this fact.
501
00:31:12,925 --> 00:31:15,685
She felt that would have
served as a green light
502
00:31:15,765 --> 00:31:16,885
to a potential abductor.
503
00:31:37,765 --> 00:31:40,045
I have always argued to law enforcement,
504
00:31:40,125 --> 00:31:43,845
you don't close any file
on a missing child case
505
00:31:43,925 --> 00:31:45,805
until the child is either found
506
00:31:45,925 --> 00:31:48,125
or until we know with certainty
what happened to them.
507
00:31:48,485 --> 00:31:52,165
AT 2:30 a.m.,
police say a man slipped into a window
508
00:31:52,245 --> 00:31:57,525
at this Federal Heights home and kidnapped
14-year-old Elizabeth Smart at gunpoint.
509
00:31:57,765 --> 00:32:00,405
Her nine-year-old sister
was the only witness.
510
00:32:02,405 --> 00:32:05,445
And any time that we're not
right on scene immediately, uh,
511
00:32:05,525 --> 00:32:07,965
a two-hour window gives the opportunity
for anyone
512
00:32:08,045 --> 00:32:10,765
to... to be away from this area.
513
00:32:11,245 --> 00:32:13,125
As search teams comb the woods,
514
00:32:13,205 --> 00:32:15,245
roads, and creeks of Washington County,
515
00:32:15,325 --> 00:32:19,005
this mother waits for word of a clue
about what happened to her little boy.
516
00:32:19,565 --> 00:32:20,885
Shawn Hornbeck vanished...
517
00:32:20,965 --> 00:32:23,085
I know kids just don't vanish
without a trace.
518
00:32:23,125 --> 00:32:25,325
There's something out there,
there's somebody out there
519
00:32:25,405 --> 00:32:28,485
that knows something or has something
and all they need to do is come forward.
520
00:32:28,685 --> 00:32:31,325
'Cause in most of these cases,
521
00:32:31,405 --> 00:32:34,005
the abductor is not taking the child
to kill.
522
00:32:34,165 --> 00:32:36,085
He's taking the child for another purpose.
523
00:32:37,125 --> 00:32:40,445
Jaycee Lee Dugard,
here seen enjoying a fishing trip
524
00:32:40,525 --> 00:32:42,565
near her home in eastern California,
525
00:32:42,845 --> 00:32:46,325
was just 11 when she was forced
into a stranger's car.
526
00:32:46,605 --> 00:32:50,085
Neighbours helped keep media attention
focused on the case.
527
00:32:50,205 --> 00:32:52,445
There was a high-profile investigation,
528
00:32:52,525 --> 00:32:56,205
but despite a few false sightings,
the trail went cold.
529
00:33:01,965 --> 00:33:06,405
The goal was to use technology
to keep these cases alive,
530
00:33:06,485 --> 00:33:09,805
to provide new hope for parents
531
00:33:09,885 --> 00:33:12,605
and new leads for law enforcement
and we said at the time,
532
00:33:12,965 --> 00:33:15,845
"Wouldn't it be great if we could
actually find one of these kids?"
533
00:33:16,445 --> 00:33:18,165
And we found 900 of them.
534
00:33:20,085 --> 00:33:24,685
The rationale for ageing the photographs
of long-term missing children
535
00:33:24,765 --> 00:33:29,725
is it doesn't do much good to circulate
the photograph of a three-year-old
536
00:33:29,805 --> 00:33:32,005
if she'd now be 13 or 14 years old.
537
00:33:32,365 --> 00:33:35,085
Young children's faces
change very quickly.
538
00:33:35,165 --> 00:33:37,165
- Yeah.
- As you can see,
539
00:33:37,765 --> 00:33:40,045
she has her mother's jawline.
540
00:33:40,285 --> 00:33:42,005
She has her mother's mouth.
541
00:33:42,805 --> 00:33:44,965
It's striking.
She has her mother's dimples.
542
00:33:45,285 --> 00:33:47,581
- That's me as well, isn't it?
- This is you as well.
543
00:33:47,605 --> 00:33:48,925
- Six!
- Exactly.
544
00:33:57,485 --> 00:33:59,485
For a lot of searching parents,
545
00:34:00,125 --> 00:34:01,725
it's their child.
546
00:34:02,805 --> 00:34:07,005
So they get their child back
after two years,
547
00:34:07,085 --> 00:34:09,365
five years, ten years, twenty years
548
00:34:09,605 --> 00:34:11,405
if only in an image.
549
00:34:11,485 --> 00:34:14,085
It's a very emotional thing,
really,
550
00:34:14,165 --> 00:34:18,965
to see my daughter in a different way
to how I remember her.
551
00:34:19,205 --> 00:34:20,205
Um...
552
00:34:20,445 --> 00:34:23,325
So if I'm honest,
initially it was quite upsetting.
553
00:34:23,885 --> 00:34:27,045
And then I started to look at the features
554
00:34:27,245 --> 00:34:29,605
and I thought,
"Well, that's definitely Madeleine
555
00:34:30,085 --> 00:34:32,205
and that bit's Madeleine,"
and, you know...
556
00:34:32,285 --> 00:34:36,485
We want the public
to adjust their thinking
557
00:34:37,165 --> 00:34:41,245
so they're not looking for
a literal three-year-old.
558
00:34:44,645 --> 00:34:48,445
Every day,
Kate and Gerry McCann get out of bed
559
00:34:48,845 --> 00:34:51,485
and they look after their two children,
Sean and Amelie.
560
00:34:51,845 --> 00:34:54,805
And they're fueled, I believe, by hope.
561
00:34:55,885 --> 00:34:59,925
There's huge hope to be had
with the advances in technology.
562
00:35:00,365 --> 00:35:01,285
Year on year,
563
00:35:01,365 --> 00:35:03,325
DNA is getting better.
564
00:35:03,725 --> 00:35:04,845
Year on year,
565
00:35:04,925 --> 00:35:08,685
other technologies, including
facial recognition, are getting better.
566
00:35:08,765 --> 00:35:12,805
And as we use that technology
to revisit and review
567
00:35:13,045 --> 00:35:14,845
that which we captured in the past,
568
00:35:15,485 --> 00:35:18,245
there's every likelihood that
something we already know
569
00:35:18,805 --> 00:35:20,445
will slip into position.
570
00:35:22,325 --> 00:35:23,965
News special report.
571
00:35:24,045 --> 00:35:26,285
Good afternoon.
I'm Charles Gibson at ABC News.
572
00:35:26,765 --> 00:35:28,925
There is a story that has broken
this afternoon
573
00:35:29,005 --> 00:35:32,365
that I suspect comes under
the heading of a miracle.
574
00:35:32,605 --> 00:35:35,805
14-year-old Elizabeth Smart
was abducted from her home
575
00:35:36,285 --> 00:35:40,325
and everyone had pretty much given up hope
that she would ever be found alive.
576
00:35:42,645 --> 00:35:45,645
Witnesses apparently spotted her
in the car of a man
577
00:35:45,725 --> 00:35:48,325
who has been the subject of
a police search for some time,
578
00:35:48,405 --> 00:35:51,685
saying they thought they had seen
Elizabeth Smart in his car.
579
00:35:52,125 --> 00:35:54,445
Police descended on the scene,
stopped the car...
580
00:35:54,525 --> 00:35:57,245
There are many, many cases we can point to
581
00:35:57,765 --> 00:36:01,325
in which children have been found,
have come home alive
582
00:36:01,645 --> 00:36:04,205
after months, after years.
583
00:36:04,725 --> 00:36:06,965
Jaycee Dugard in California,
584
00:36:07,045 --> 00:36:09,205
abducted waiting for a school bus,
585
00:36:09,325 --> 00:36:12,405
recovered 18 years later, alive.
586
00:36:14,605 --> 00:36:16,925
Jaycee Dugard,
who was kidnapped at age 11
587
00:36:17,005 --> 00:36:18,085
and held for 18 years...
588
00:36:18,165 --> 00:36:20,685
Police are searching a house
near San Francisco.
589
00:36:20,765 --> 00:36:22,965
The man is a registered sex offender.
590
00:36:23,045 --> 00:36:24,685
He and his wife were detained
591
00:36:24,765 --> 00:36:27,605
after walking into a police station
with a younger woman,
592
00:36:27,805 --> 00:36:28,845
who later told officers...
593
00:36:28,925 --> 00:36:30,685
My hope was at that point
after these years
594
00:36:30,765 --> 00:36:33,525
is to recover her
and prosecute these people,
595
00:36:33,605 --> 00:36:37,485
and now to get her back alive,
it's like winning the lotto, you know?
596
00:36:37,645 --> 00:36:40,405
You know, so we get her back alive
and she sounds like she's okay...
597
00:36:40,485 --> 00:36:43,045
Shawn Hornbeck
hadn't seen his family
598
00:36:43,125 --> 00:36:45,165
since he vanished
more than four years ago
599
00:36:45,565 --> 00:36:48,885
when he was an 11-year-old boy
outside riding his bike.
600
00:36:49,285 --> 00:36:50,885
I still feel like I'm in a dream,
601
00:36:50,965 --> 00:36:52,525
only this time, it's a good dream.
602
00:36:52,605 --> 00:36:55,365
It's not my nightmare that I've lived
for four and a half years.
603
00:36:55,845 --> 00:36:58,525
After Shawn vanished,
his family created a foundation
604
00:36:58,605 --> 00:37:00,005
to help find missing children.
605
00:37:00,405 --> 00:37:02,125
They never stopped searching
606
00:37:02,245 --> 00:37:05,125
until police called with the news
they'd been waiting for.
607
00:37:05,205 --> 00:37:09,125
That he's alive.
And those were the sweetest words.
608
00:37:09,765 --> 00:37:12,085
The key to finding Shawn
was a white truck.
609
00:37:12,205 --> 00:37:14,925
On Thursday,
a resident of this apartment complex
610
00:37:15,005 --> 00:37:17,565
spotted a white truck there
and alerted police...
611
00:37:17,645 --> 00:37:20,605
The three Cleveland girls,
missing ten years.
612
00:37:22,085 --> 00:37:24,485
Baby abducted from the hospital
in New York,
613
00:37:24,605 --> 00:37:27,925
who identified herself 23 years later
614
00:37:28,765 --> 00:37:31,365
after having been raised by the abductor.
615
00:37:32,005 --> 00:37:34,885
The mother of that child
never gave up hope.
616
00:37:37,085 --> 00:37:40,285
There have been cases in the United States
in which witnesses,
617
00:37:40,365 --> 00:37:44,405
people who have information,
haven't come forward for decades.
618
00:37:45,125 --> 00:37:47,205
And then one day provide information
619
00:37:47,285 --> 00:37:49,845
that helps lead to
the resolution of the case.
620
00:37:49,925 --> 00:37:53,685
Elizabeth Smart is now
an accomplished 20-year-old.
621
00:37:53,965 --> 00:37:58,565
She listened as her father described
how he hoped their story
622
00:37:58,685 --> 00:38:02,485
had comforted, even inspired, the McCanns.
623
00:38:02,805 --> 00:38:04,405
As I spoke with Kate, you know,
624
00:38:04,485 --> 00:38:08,765
she... she said to me that, you know,
she'd had some dreams recently
625
00:38:08,845 --> 00:38:11,445
and that, you know,
she felt that Madeleine was there
626
00:38:11,525 --> 00:38:16,325
and she was gonna come back and I told her
that's what I had thought about Elizabeth.
627
00:38:19,285 --> 00:38:20,405
Keep the faith.
628
00:38:21,925 --> 00:38:23,285
Keep hope alive.
629
00:38:27,365 --> 00:38:33,485
Previously, the individual with
sexual interest in a prepubescent child
630
00:38:33,805 --> 00:38:37,525
typically felt abhorrent, isolated, alone.
631
00:38:37,965 --> 00:38:40,285
Suddenly with the advent of the internet,
632
00:38:40,605 --> 00:38:42,925
he discovers he's part of
a global community.
633
00:38:45,965 --> 00:38:49,405
You couldn't walk into
your local bar or restaurant or club
634
00:38:49,485 --> 00:38:52,405
and say, "Look, you know,
I'm a paedophile and I'm going out tonight
635
00:38:52,485 --> 00:38:54,325
to kind of, you know,
meet up with a few kids.
636
00:38:54,405 --> 00:38:55,605
Anyone want to come with me?"
637
00:38:55,725 --> 00:38:59,725
You'd end up, you know,
in your local accident and emergency
638
00:38:59,885 --> 00:39:01,885
for a long weekend if you were lucky.
639
00:39:02,085 --> 00:39:03,765
However, on the internet, you can do that.
640
00:39:03,805 --> 00:39:05,205
You can go into those dark places
641
00:39:05,285 --> 00:39:07,645
and say,
"This is who I am and this is what I do,"
642
00:39:07,725 --> 00:39:09,885
and you're made to feel better
about who you are
643
00:39:09,965 --> 00:39:11,525
because there's so many others.
644
00:39:13,525 --> 00:39:15,165
Indecent images online,
645
00:39:15,605 --> 00:39:17,285
they are symptoms of a problem,
646
00:39:17,365 --> 00:39:21,845
not about technology, but about people
who will exploit and abuse children.
647
00:39:23,565 --> 00:39:28,605
There is no doubt that human trafficking
is a massive, massive problem.
648
00:39:32,525 --> 00:39:34,725
They are a commodity.
649
00:39:35,725 --> 00:39:37,445
In 2016,
650
00:39:38,685 --> 00:39:43,045
you have, between zero and 12 years old,
651
00:39:43,125 --> 00:39:47,485
you have 124 cases,
652
00:39:47,725 --> 00:39:52,285
and between 13 years old and 17 years old,
653
00:39:52,685 --> 00:39:58,765
1,543 missing children cases.
654
00:39:59,405 --> 00:40:01,325
Compared with the rest of Europe,
655
00:40:01,405 --> 00:40:04,485
I think we are very, very good.
656
00:40:05,845 --> 00:40:06,885
However,
657
00:40:07,165 --> 00:40:10,645
these cases, uh, are worrying.
658
00:40:12,165 --> 00:40:15,085
They are few, it's a fact,
659
00:40:16,005 --> 00:40:18,005
but they were not solved
660
00:40:18,245 --> 00:40:20,445
and that is also a fact.
661
00:40:22,805 --> 00:40:25,605
So when you tuck
your own child into bed at night,
662
00:40:25,845 --> 00:40:28,525
you know, reflect on the fact
how lucky they are to have a parent
663
00:40:28,605 --> 00:40:29,805
who loves and cares for them,
664
00:40:29,925 --> 00:40:33,125
and as you step out of the bedroom, think
about the children who don't have that.
665
00:40:33,205 --> 00:40:36,805
Think about those children who would love
to have a parent who cared for them,
666
00:40:36,885 --> 00:40:39,405
a carer who loved and looked after them.
667
00:40:39,765 --> 00:40:41,805
Think about those children
trapped in these images
668
00:40:41,885 --> 00:40:44,005
and do what you can to lobby and press
669
00:40:44,205 --> 00:40:46,165
to make sure that more money is invested
670
00:40:46,245 --> 00:40:50,005
in making sure we can protect
the most vulnerable in our society.
671
00:41:04,005 --> 00:41:06,685
It's something
that our society hides.
672
00:41:09,645 --> 00:41:11,965
It's shown me a part of the human being
673
00:41:12,045 --> 00:41:15,445
that, uh, I didn't... I didn't know.
674
00:41:16,685 --> 00:41:18,725
It's shown me the monster.
675
00:41:25,125 --> 00:41:29,085
Nobody wants to look
into those dark spaces and places
676
00:41:29,165 --> 00:41:31,165
where this type of abuse takes place.
677
00:41:31,565 --> 00:41:35,165
God knows those people
that work in this environment
678
00:41:35,245 --> 00:41:36,405
don't want to do that.
679
00:41:36,965 --> 00:41:40,405
And once you have,
you realise that no ordinary person
680
00:41:40,485 --> 00:41:44,165
who hasn't had to have seen it
will ever want to go there.
681
00:41:51,765 --> 00:41:53,765
I've done thousands of cases.
682
00:41:58,205 --> 00:41:59,485
With the Madeleine case,
683
00:41:59,805 --> 00:42:03,885
I've seen the worst things
a human being can see.
684
00:42:04,285 --> 00:42:06,125
Um, the worst.
685
00:42:09,005 --> 00:42:14,965
I was hoping to find out some clue,
some... something about Madeleine.
686
00:42:16,725 --> 00:42:21,645
But, um, also it was a dead end.
Nobody knew anything about the girl.
687
00:42:21,885 --> 00:42:22,885
Nobody.
688
00:42:25,365 --> 00:42:28,285
Yeah, at that point, you lose humanity
689
00:42:28,365 --> 00:42:29,645
and you lose the...
690
00:42:30,845 --> 00:42:32,845
You lose everything at that point.
691
00:42:35,565 --> 00:42:37,925
So finally at the end,
692
00:42:38,005 --> 00:42:40,845
I got all the emails, all the files,
693
00:42:40,965 --> 00:42:43,925
put a report and took it
to the National Police.
694
00:43:09,205 --> 00:43:11,885
Método 3 is
a private detective agency.
695
00:43:11,965 --> 00:43:15,765
They had found paedophilic material.
696
00:43:17,525 --> 00:43:21,685
We started to investigate which people
were distributing this video
697
00:43:21,765 --> 00:43:25,165
with paedophilic content on that network.
698
00:43:25,245 --> 00:43:28,965
The first operation
was called Lolita P-mix.
699
00:43:36,765 --> 00:43:40,005
We investigated the facts.
700
00:43:40,725 --> 00:43:43,301
I gave him the evidence
and the line of the investigation
701
00:43:43,325 --> 00:43:46,085
and they only had to pull the string.
702
00:43:46,885 --> 00:43:50,685
In the end, 23 people
were questioned and 13 arrested.
703
00:43:59,485 --> 00:44:02,685
That's the best thing
that came from this case,
704
00:44:04,445 --> 00:44:06,445
the thing that I'm most proud of.
705
00:44:07,725 --> 00:44:12,445
Some of these investigations
may lead to these minors being found
706
00:44:12,525 --> 00:44:14,805
and rescued from their captors.
707
00:44:16,845 --> 00:44:20,325
In two days,
my daughter is gonna be four years old,
708
00:44:20,605 --> 00:44:23,685
which is the age
that Madeleine McCann disappeared.
709
00:44:24,885 --> 00:44:29,285
The need to know the truth
keeps me going forward.
710
00:44:32,125 --> 00:44:35,245
There's always, always
something left to do...
711
00:44:36,405 --> 00:44:37,525
till you find her.
712
00:44:42,605 --> 00:44:46,685
I've always wanted to be
a human rights lawyer.
713
00:44:48,525 --> 00:44:51,485
The vanishing of Madeleine McCann
714
00:44:52,245 --> 00:44:55,365
woke me up to other cases,
715
00:44:55,445 --> 00:44:58,805
and I started to... to look for them
716
00:44:59,085 --> 00:45:00,565
and I found them.
717
00:45:01,565 --> 00:45:05,765
In Portugal, we have, in 2016,
718
00:45:05,845 --> 00:45:11,325
more than 1,000 cases of sexual abuse,
719
00:45:11,405 --> 00:45:15,805
more than 500, uh, in child pornography.
720
00:45:16,085 --> 00:45:20,845
Uh, so every day,
the Judiciary Police is fighting
721
00:45:20,925 --> 00:45:27,245
against this new, uh, wave of criminality.
722
00:45:29,605 --> 00:45:31,165
When you say "child pornography,"
723
00:45:31,205 --> 00:45:33,165
the general public will think
of the Lolita,
724
00:45:33,285 --> 00:45:34,845
the "barely legal" site.
725
00:45:34,925 --> 00:45:36,805
It's where their brain allows them to go
726
00:45:36,885 --> 00:45:38,645
because their brain doesn't want
to take them
727
00:45:38,685 --> 00:45:42,085
to the two, three, and four-year-old
being brutally abused,
728
00:45:42,165 --> 00:45:44,685
being violated. Nobody wants to go there
729
00:45:45,045 --> 00:45:47,285
because once you do, you cannot come back.
730
00:45:47,485 --> 00:45:49,925
And I remember on occasions
when we had stories
731
00:45:50,005 --> 00:45:52,045
that we really wanted
to get out to the media,
732
00:45:52,125 --> 00:45:53,885
some newspapers coming back and saying,
733
00:45:53,965 --> 00:45:56,325
"We've already done
our paedophile story this month.
734
00:45:56,445 --> 00:45:58,605
There's only so much
our readers can take."
735
00:45:59,165 --> 00:46:03,085
I remember doing, you know,
interviews with radio programs
736
00:46:03,245 --> 00:46:04,885
that are really heavyweight and serious,
737
00:46:04,965 --> 00:46:07,445
but they didn't want you to mention
particular things
738
00:46:07,525 --> 00:46:09,525
because we don't want people to go there.
739
00:46:09,605 --> 00:46:12,965
The problem is the children
who are captured
740
00:46:13,045 --> 00:46:15,205
and trapped in these images
are already there.
741
00:46:17,285 --> 00:46:20,445
I don't see where we're investing
in things that make a difference.
742
00:46:22,125 --> 00:46:25,845
If this was counter-terrorism,
we'd be declaring war on these people.
743
00:46:25,965 --> 00:46:29,525
We would be throwing billions of pounds,
not millions of pounds at it.
744
00:46:29,845 --> 00:46:34,765
We'd be engaging from the classroom
through to every business in the world
745
00:46:34,965 --> 00:46:37,325
and we'd be collaborating in ways
746
00:46:37,405 --> 00:46:40,405
that we only do around CT,
counter-terrorism.
747
00:46:41,885 --> 00:46:43,445
Do they? So what does that mean?
748
00:46:43,525 --> 00:46:45,445
So there needs to be a wake-up call.
749
00:46:48,365 --> 00:46:53,205
For me, the case that really brought
this type of work into focus
750
00:46:53,965 --> 00:46:56,405
involved an international investigation.
751
00:46:57,885 --> 00:47:01,285
We had a colleague
who had captured an image
752
00:47:01,365 --> 00:47:04,725
from a group that they had infiltrated
753
00:47:05,125 --> 00:47:07,485
and they got the image of this child,
754
00:47:07,565 --> 00:47:11,965
and sent it to us because they believed
the child was in the UK.
755
00:47:13,245 --> 00:47:16,845
One of my own children was at that age
at that time
756
00:47:16,925 --> 00:47:22,125
and so you are totally engaged
with the search.
757
00:47:22,485 --> 00:47:24,645
You know, you're desperate for news.
758
00:47:26,965 --> 00:47:29,325
And as time went on
and more images were discovered
759
00:47:29,405 --> 00:47:34,605
and you began to see
the levels of brutality involved...
760
00:47:36,725 --> 00:47:38,725
And I was coming down the escalator...
761
00:47:40,885 --> 00:47:42,885
in Gatwick Airport in London
762
00:47:43,565 --> 00:47:45,325
when I received the phone call...
763
00:47:49,565 --> 00:47:53,085
When I... When I received the phone call
to say that that child had been found.
764
00:47:53,765 --> 00:47:58,125
And... coming down the escalator,
765
00:47:58,605 --> 00:48:01,285
had you spoken to me,
I couldn't have replied.
766
00:48:01,845 --> 00:48:05,965
I was literally so overcome
with the emotion.
767
00:48:08,165 --> 00:48:10,645
After it, I probably became...
768
00:48:11,605 --> 00:48:14,565
more relentless and less compromising.
769
00:48:15,765 --> 00:48:18,685
I absolutely believe that in my lifetime,
770
00:48:18,765 --> 00:48:21,645
we will find out
what happened to Madeleine McCann.
771
00:48:25,485 --> 00:48:29,085
Somebody knows
what's happened to Madeleine McCann.
772
00:48:30,445 --> 00:48:32,325
Detectives hunting
Madeleine McCann
773
00:48:32,405 --> 00:48:34,725
have been given more money
to keep on searching...
774
00:48:34,805 --> 00:48:38,045
£150,000
is going towards Operation Grange...
775
00:48:38,125 --> 00:48:41,165
taking the total so far
to more than £11 million.
776
00:48:53,645 --> 00:48:54,965
The Lord be with you.
777
00:48:55,445 --> 00:48:56,845
And also with you.
778
00:48:56,925 --> 00:48:57,965
Then let us pray.
779
00:48:58,565 --> 00:49:01,525
Every year that we held a vigil
in Praia da Luz,
780
00:49:01,605 --> 00:49:03,525
Kate would send a message to be read.
781
00:49:05,085 --> 00:49:09,045
This was ten years
in this past May.
782
00:49:10,885 --> 00:49:13,885
We knew that we had to be there
for the tenth anniversary.
783
00:49:16,645 --> 00:49:19,565
She sent a note to the community
that was gathered,
784
00:49:19,845 --> 00:49:21,765
mostly to thank them for their presence
785
00:49:21,845 --> 00:49:24,725
and to thank them for continuing to hope.
786
00:49:27,085 --> 00:49:28,565
"To our dear friends,
787
00:49:29,765 --> 00:49:31,445
ten years without Madeleine..."
788
00:49:40,245 --> 00:49:41,845
"Ten years without Madeleine.
789
00:49:42,285 --> 00:49:46,485
If I had let that thought
even enter my head back in May 2007,
790
00:49:46,925 --> 00:49:48,725
I wouldn't have lasted another day.
791
00:49:49,285 --> 00:49:50,885
And now, a decade on,
792
00:49:51,205 --> 00:49:53,205
it is still inconceivable.
793
00:49:53,765 --> 00:49:54,765
How can it be?
794
00:49:55,165 --> 00:49:58,045
Our little girl who brought us
the gift of parenthood,
795
00:49:58,645 --> 00:49:59,685
ten years on.
796
00:50:07,725 --> 00:50:09,085
Despite the evil
797
00:50:10,045 --> 00:50:11,925
and the hurt that has come our way,
798
00:50:12,005 --> 00:50:13,445
we have been very fortunate,
799
00:50:13,525 --> 00:50:16,765
having witnessed and experienced
goodness and kindness
800
00:50:17,005 --> 00:50:21,205
in great abundance during this long
and difficult period of stolen time."

our friends and supporters in Luz

to keep Madeleine and our family
in your prayers and in your hearts.
804
00:50:38,165 --> 00:50:41,565
Your love and compassion
has given us fortitude over the years
805
00:50:41,925 --> 00:50:44,805

in immeasurable amounts."
