   The parents of British girl Madeleine McCann today called for support to ensure that the British and Portuguese governments to jointly review the case and "do more" to find the small, three and a half years after his disappearance when vacationing with his family in the Algarve Portugal.
   
   In a letter, Kate and Gerry McCann urged people to support the search for "Maddie" to sign a petition seeking to pressure the British and Portuguese authorities to carry out "a transparent and independent review of all information connected with the disappearance of Madeleine. "
   
   "Together we can, and get, tie all the loose ends of the case of Madeleine and were able to"say the parents of the girl.
   
   Kate and Gerry McCann say in the letter are still looking for his daughter and his "little team" continues to review all available data on the case, "although we do not have access to all information held by UK authorities and Portugal. "
   
   "It is incredible that in the past two years and three months, no police force has actively done anything to help us find Madeleine, "McCann wail.
   
   The girl's parents say that "crucially, they have not made any formal review of the material is held by the police, something that is routine practice in most countries, especially when they could have gone through overlooked a key piece in this puzzle. "
   
   "It is simply not acceptable that the authorities have given up the search for Madeleine. We need to do more ", highlighted.
   
   Madeleine McCann was about four years old when he disappeared from a beach apartment in the Algarve, southern Portugal, in May 2007.
   
   The parents, who declared from the beginning that her daughter had been abducted, were considered formal suspects in September 2007, but were acquitted in July 2008 for lack of evidence for the hypothesis of accidental death of the child.

A re opening of the Case is something that should happen, come on McCann's you could ask but you never when you had the chance and you won't ask now. A review just a whitewash. Re opening of the Case could mean justice for Madeleine at long last.

Get back to Portugal and answer the questions...get your friends back and do a reconstruction, though that will probably re-open the case, not give cause for a review and I don't think an actual re-opening, based on the facts is what the alleged orginators of this petition want! Oh and stop having pictures of random young girls printed across the press...these kids deserve their privacy and freedom and you are invading it...if you think you see a child like Madeleine (unlikely due to the findings of the dogs) get the police to follow it up and ascertain the facts, don't publish the poor girl's picture in the international press, only to say "No, it's not" and another child is harmed in this shameful saga!

    Comments: I think the investigation should be reopenned a.s.a.p. The fact that the portuguese police has ignore most of the leads maybe leading to Madeleine is an outrage. It is well known that portuguese police is corrupted and I believe that the portuguese authorities don,t want Madeleine to be found for the simple reason that her abductors are high rank personalities in Portugual and probably linked to the Casa Pia case. The investigation of Madeleine's abduction should be reopened because an innocent child has paid the price of incompetence and also because her parents have been vivified for nothing. Yes, they made a huge mistake by letting the kids all also while they were sleeping but they have paid the biggest price of all. They've lost a precious child they longed to have for 5 years and who they loved so dealy. Please accept a new review to the case. Madeleine deserves it and her parents deserve it too, Shawn and Amelie deserve to know what happened to their big sister too.

Her family should be receiving the support they need to enable a proper search to take place. Madeleine needs to be found, and to be found soon.

No, the McCanns ASKED for a review, and there were some claims by Clarence Mitchell earlier in the year that a review or re-investiagtion was under way.

BUT, they asked Home Secretary Alan Johnson for a review and re-investigation, and he obviously said 'NO'.

That's why the McCanns had to go and ask the new Coalition Home Secretary, Theresa May, for the same thing.

Now it looks like that also got nowhere, so the McCanns have had to go to the ipetitions site to try and go over the heads of two Home Secretaries, and, guess what. IT WON'T WORK.

A full public enquiry ASAP with witnesses summoned under Witness Orders to give evidence is the only way forward for justice for Madeleine.
