PORTUGAL: Another vigil of hope held in Praia da Luz as no trace of Madeleine McCann

The priest who baptized missing Madeleine McCann said on Friday (May 18) that the family and friends will leave "no stone unturned" in order to find the four-year old girl. "Kate and Gerry and all of us are supporting them whether in Portugal or back home will continue to leave no stone unturned until we find her. On their behalf I want to thank everyone for their part in trying to find this very precious, very special little girl," Father Paul Seddon told reporters outside the resort from where Madeleine went missing on May 3. Later on Friday, villagers and tourists joined Madeleine's parents in a a local church for a two-hour vigil of hope for the little girl's return. Portuguese police said on Thursday (May 17) that they have insufficient evidence to arrest anyone in the hunt to find the kidnapper of the four-year-old British girl but are focusing on the resort where she disappeared. Police searched a villa on Monday (May 14) close to the resort complex from where Madeleine went missing more than a week ago and took a British man, Robert Murat, away for questioning. Madeleine McCann disappeared from her bedroom at a hotel resort in the Algarve two weeks ago as her parents dined nearby. Soccer stars including Britain's David Beckham and Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo have made appeals for Madeleine while wealthy individuals, including author JK Rowling, have offered large rewards for information leading to her return.
