Storyline
People in Portugal's southern resort town of Praia da Luz reacted on Sunday to the departure of a British couple named as suspects in the disappearance of their 4-year-old daughter.
Kate and Gerry McCann and their 2-year old twins returned to England days after being grilled by Portuguese police about new forensic evidence authorities believe ties them to the case.
"They've been advised, I guess, by their lawyers to go somewhere where they'll feel secure personally so I suppose that's the reason but to be honest with you we don't have any details," said one man in Praia da Luz.
The McCann's and the twins arrived by minivan at their large brick house in the village of Rothley, 100 miles (160 kilometers)
north of London, escorted by police and greeted by scores of journalists.
The disappearance of 4-year-old Madeleine McCann, and her parents' high-profile campaign to find her, has made headlines around the world.
The story took a startling twist Friday, when Portuguese police formally named Madeleine's parents as suspects in the case.
Just after the plane carrying the family from southern Portugal touched down at East Midlands Airport, Gerry McCann denied being involved in the disappearance of his daughter and said the events of the past few days had been deeply disturbing.
Although Portuguese police named the McCanns as suspects in the May 3 disappearance of their daughter, they did not confiscate their passports or restrict their movements.
The McCanns have said they will be available to return to Portugal for questioning if needed.
"I think people will understand that it was their problem, not a Portuguese problem. The police is doing her job so I think the truth will be found," said one woman in the southern Portugal resort town.
The McCanns say Madeleine vanished from a hotel room in southern Portugal's Algarve region, where she and her siblings were sleeping, while her parents ate dinner at a nearby restaurant.
Until Friday, suspicion had centered on Robert Murat, a British man who lived near the hotel from which Madeleine disappeared and who was the only formal suspect.
No charges have ever been brought against him, and he has said he is innocent.
The case took a turn in recent days, after police said new forensic tests done on evidence gathered months after the girl vanished found traces of blood in the couple's car.
The traces, apparently missed in earlier forensic tests, were uncovered by sniffer dogs brought from Britain.
The McCanns had vowed not to leave Portugal until their daughter was found. But that stance seems to have changed even before police named them as suspects.
"For me it doesn't matter if they stay here or not. I just want to see an end cause it too much. I've had enough of, sorry about, but it's too much because it's boring. Too much speculation about cause, we don't know what has happened yet," said one man in Praia da Luz.
The couple's ordeal has drawn attention around the world, partly because of an unprecedented international campaign they led to find their daughter.
"The longer it drags on, no news for a long time. It's enough. Children go missing all the time and they've raised awareness of that but they can't milk it any longer," said another man in Praia da Luz.
The McCanns have toured Europe with photos of Madeleine and the child's stuffed animals and clothing, even meeting with Pope Benedict XVI at the Vatican. Celebrities including children's author J.K. Rowling and soccer star David Beckham made public appeals that helped the family raise more than 2 million (m) US dollars.
