A senior British police officer initially believed Gerry McCann might have been involved in his daughter Madeleine’s disappearance, it was revealed earlier this week.
In a new documentary about the three-year-old’s disappearance during a family holiday in Portugal, the former officer described how he helped Mr McCann write an appeal to Madeleine’s abductor, urging them to let the child go and hand themselves in.Mr Gamble said he advised Mr McCann write his appeal ‘along the lines that sometimes people make terrible mistakes in life they never intended, but ultimately it’s never too late to do the right thing.
Mr Gamble said his initial suspicion of the McCanns was based on his experience as a police officer. He said: ‘Statistically it’s likely to be the parents or somebody who’s in close proximity with the child.’ The McCanns, from Rothley in Leicestershire, were asked to take part in the eight-part documentary but refused as they believed it ‘could potentially hinder’ the British police investigation.
