Scotland Yard: Cell Phone Findings Might Provide Insight Into Madeleine McCann Investigation
Oct. 4 2013, Published 11:54 a.m. ET
In a new development in the case of Madeleine McCann, the then-3-year-old who went missing during a May 2007 vacation with her family in Portugal, Scotland Yard officials say documents spanning more than 40,000 pages containing previously-unseen cell phone info -- of those who were staying at the resort at the time -- might be the key to open the mysterious case.
“There is new information not previously presented,” according to a statement from Scotland Yard. “Fresh, substantive material upon which to make an appeal. It’s substantially different.
"It’s not just a bland ‘Can you help us?’ appeal, there is some different material and a different understanding.”

Since their child's tragic disappearance, they have authored a book about their experience, and plan to appear on TV Oct. 14 to plead for their daughter's safe return.
