TONY BENNETT
On Thursday November 15, 2007, retired UK solicitor Tony Bennett
(equivalent to a US Attorney) filed a private prosecution against the
parents of Madeleine McCann for child neglect.
TruthForMadeleine
fully supports Tony in his "Truth For Madeleine Campaign".
This campaign was inspired by the objectives in this website and has
resulted in a collaborative effort. Child neglect of any description
is intolerable and the most obvious fact of all is that if Madeleine
McCann was properly supervised by her parents during the night of May
3, 2007, she would still be here today.
Sadly, since Tony filed his private
prosecution, Leicestershire Magistrates turned down his action.
Basically the court ruled that they did not have jurisdiction on the
case because the incidents occurred in Portugal. Despite plenty of
support for the action, we understand Tony is considering other
options. (Click here for

BACKGROUND
On Thursday May 3, 2007,
Doctors Gerry and Kate McCann drank wine at a local Tapas Bar in the Ocean
Club Resort in Praia da Luz, Portugal. Their three toddlers; twins
Sean and Amelie and older daughter Madeleine were allegedly sleeping
in the nearby apartment 5a at the Mark Warner complex. At 10:00pm when
Kate McCann went back to the apartment to check on the children,
Madeleine McCann had disappeared and Kate ran back to the Tapas Bar
shouting "they've taken her, they've taken her!"
What happened in the weeks and months afterwards has become one of the
most compelling and complex missing person cases in history.
BABY GRACE MYSTERY
The story of the disappearance of
Madeleine McCann has been more mysterious than the best Agatha
Christie novels. At the end of October 2007, a girl was washed onto
the beach in a plastic box near Galveston Texas. The description of
this toddler matches the physical attributes of Madeleine but of
course, Galveston is over 4000 miles away from Portugal (click
here for our original story page).

BABY GRACE NEWS
On Sunday November 25, the Galveston Police Department
tentatively
identified Baby Grace as being the missing 2 year old girl Riley
Sawyers from Spring, Texas. Sadly, the police seem to have solved one case but
Madeleine McCann's whereabouts remain unknown. This site sends it's
sincere condolences to the family of Riley Sawyers and hopes the killer(s) are brought to justice with the full extent of the law.
When the DNA results are in, we will publish more on this story.
