The search for Madeleine McCann



I think there are very few people who haven't heard about Madeleine McCann. Her story is still breaking news, even after more than a month after her abduction/dissappearance. And her family is doing everything they can to keep it like that.

The 4 year old British girl dissapeared on May 3rd in a Portuguese holiday resort, where she and her family were on vacation. Since then, efforts have been very extensive to get her back. The reward for the crucial information leading to her return is currently at GBP 1.5 million (around US$ 3 million or almost L$ 800 million).

PUBLICITY IN SL
Yesterday, on June 12th, CNN posted an article about how the British police have been contacting Linden Labs about getting more publicity and came to an agreement to that purpose. I bet we will be seeing more and more posters of Madeleine soon in the virtual world. Our newspaper headquarters already had a huge billboard in front of the building since we wrote an earlier story about this on May 13th. Please read that story to learn how you can obtain your own billboard easily.


LATEST NEWS (Wednesday June 13th)
The Dutch newspaper Telegraaf has been tipped about the location of where the body of Madeleine can be found. The location is supposed to be somewhere in Portugal, not too far from where she was abducted. A letter to that extend arrived at the headquarters of the Telegraaf today and has immediately been handed over to the Dutch authorities, who shortly after that informed police forces in Great Brittain and of course Portugal.

The letter seems to be quite similar to a letter that was delivered to the Telegraaf HQ last year, about the 2 girls Stacey and Nathalie from Belgium, who's remains were found about 2 km (1.3 miles) from the place stated in the letter. This fact has lead to the authorities taking this letter very seriously and have started a search right away. Although this is one of the best leads the police has had so far, there is no way to be sure that this letter is authentic and that there is any certainty that Madeleine will actually be found.

The entire staff of the SL Newspaper wishes the family and friends of Madeleine McCann lots of strength in these difficult times and hopes that good news will arrive soon!

If you have any information about Madeleine McCann, please contact your local police department, look at http://www.findmadeleine.com/ or call the phone number stated in the animated picture at the top of this article.
