Portuguese official: Madeleine McCann case wrapping up
So, does this mean they are close to naming a suspect (or suspects), or is the investigation into the disappearance of Madeleine McCann about to head into the cold case files?
“We are at a stage now where we are approaching the conclusion of the process,” Justice Minister Alberto Costa told a parliamentary committee hearing.
Costa said he could provide no details of the police investigation, which opened after Madeleine vanished May 3 — a few days before her 4th birthday — from a hotel room during a family vacation in Praia da Luz in Portugal’s Algarve region.
Last month, the attorney general granted detectives working on the case an extra three months to pursue their inquiries.
Police said they requested the extension because of the “unusual complexity” of the case.
Costa was questioned by lawmakers about comments by Portugal’s most senior detective who said recently that investigators acted hastily in naming the girl’s parents as suspects in her disappearance.
