Kate and Gerry McCann, whose daughter Madeleine went missing in Portugal and who have been named as official suspects in her disappearance, have hired a media expert as their spokesman. Clarence Mitchell, a former BBC Correspondent and former Foreign Office employee, was sent to Portugal to work with the McCanns in the days following their daughter Madeleine's disappearance. His appointment comes after days of speculation in both the Portuguese and British newspapers about the case.
