MADELEINE MCCANN: NEW LOOK AT EVIDENCE

Evidence in the hunt for Madeleine McCann is being reviewed by the Home Office
Monday March 8,2010
By Daily Express Reporter
EVIDENCE in the hunt for Madeleine McCann is being reviewed by the Home Office and could lead to a fresh inquiry, it was claimed yesterday.
Two thousand pages of evidence were released last week amid claims Portuguese detectives failed to follow up leads.
According to sources close to the McCanns, Home Secretary Alan Johnson has ordered officials to examine the “feasibility” of British or Portuguese detectives having a fresh look at all the evidence.
Kate and Gerry McCann, of Rothley, Leics, recently met Mr Johnson to plead for help in their search for their daughter who vanished aged three in 2007 from a holiday apartment in Praia da Luz, Portugal.
The source said: “The latest we have heard from the Home Office is officials are undertaking a ‘scoping exercise’ to look into the possibility of a review of the case.
“They are looking at all the options.”
A Home Office spokesman said: “Leicestershire Police stand ready to co-ordinate and complete inquiries if further information comes to light in the UK.”

So Alan Johnson is having a look at the feasibility of British or Portuguese detectives having a look at all the evidence.
This doesn't sound very hopeful to me at all, not like the sort of review the parents were asking for after the Lisbon hearing.
