THE parents of Madeleine McCann have offered their support to a New Zealand couple whose two-year-old daughter has disappeared.
Kate and Gerry McCann said their "thoughts and prayers" were with the family of Aisling Symes, who vanished from an Auckland suburb on Monday evening.
The girl's father, Allan Symes, originally from County Waterford in Ireland, made an emotional plea for her return at a news conference.
Mr and Mrs McCann, from Leicestershire, said: "Our thoughts and prayers are with Aisling and her family.
"We wish Aisling's parents the strength and support they will be needing at this most painful time, and we join them in hoping for Aisling's safe and speedy return."
