McCanns believe Madeleine still alive after year missing

KATE and Gerry McCann today said they still believe their missing daughter Madeleine is alive – nearly a year after she disappeared.

The couple appeared in a live TV interview as they began a new media campaign in their search for the little girl.

Mr McCann said their ordeal has been "almost unbearable," but they have been pulled through by their young twins Sean and Amelie.

He said: "Any parent will understand we will do anything to get that child back. We will go to the ends of the earth."

His wife Kate added: "We're Madeleine's parents; if we're not there for her, who is?"

They have not yet decided what to do to mark the first anniversary of the four-year-old's disappearance from Praia da Luz, Portugal, on Saturday.

Mr McCann said there are nights when he thinks "I don't want to wake up tomorrow," but that they believe a lot can still be done.

He added: "That person's out there and will probably do this again."
