Madeleine McCann's family believes a new picture of the missing four-year-old could play a vital role in the search for her.
Phil McCann, the girl’s aunt says the story is only being covered in Britain, Eire and Portugal. “We don't believe that she is in Portugal anymore and need to get her picture and the story across Europe and elsewhere as quickly as possible. Suggestions are welcome.”
The photo of the youngster shows clearly the distinctive right eye, where the pupil runs into the blue-green iris.
The new poster of Madeleine It is this distinguishing mark that will identify Madeleine to those on the lookout for her, according to aunt and uncle John and Diane McCann.
The Glasgow couple aim to distribute the appeal poster, urging contact with Crimestoppers, as far afield as they can. Family friend Andrew Renwick said that support for the search had been "overwhelming" and her family was extremely grateful.
Mrs McCann said: "The purpose of the poster is to highlight the distinction in Madeleine's eye. "We want to make the most of it, because we know her hair could potentially be cut or dyed."
Mr McCann added: "The poster was designed by a friend of the family and I've begun emailing it to acquaintances in different parts of the world. "I'm asking people to circulate it the best they can and make it be seen."
