Scotland Yard is reportedly going to pursue a new lead in the disappearance of missing British toddler, Madeleine McCann.
The investigators are said to be honing in on a tip off that suggest that she could be still alive after being snatched by an East European gang of child traffickers, reports The Sun on Sunday.
“This is an important new line of inquiry which could provide an explanation on whether Madeleine was abducted and transported away,” an unnamed source told the paper. “It raises hope that she could still be alive.”
The anonymous insider described this as a “last throw of the dice” to finally find Maddie, who has been missing since vanishing from a Portuguese holiday resort in 2007, aged three.
“At present, funding is due to run out next April when it will be reviewed again,” the source said.

According to the BBC, last year it was revealed by the government that Operation Grange – the task force charged with finding the girl – is said to have cost British taxpayers some £10 million since it was launched five years ago in the hope of finding Madeleine, who would now be age 13.
