Here's an up-to-the-minute round-up from Europe of what has been doing in the ongoing potboiler regarding the disappearance of Madeleine McCann, the missing 3-year-old girl who allegedly was kidnapped from her room at a Portuguese vacation resort in May. Should you have had your head buried in the sand during the past few months or were abducted by aliens, first the background: Madeleine's parents, Gerry and Kate McCann had allegedly put all of their children to bed in a room at the Portuguese vacation village and were "relaxing with friends" over a few drinks at a tapas bar close to their room. Yes, the children were alone, unsupervised, but "being checked up on regularly" by their doting Doctor-parents. Varying accounts exist of how much alcohol was consumed during the evening. At the last bed-check, allegedly around 10 pm, Mrs. McCann allegedly discovered Maddie to be missing. Early reports indicated she returned to the tapas bar shouting hysterically "They've taken her, they've taken her." A massive month-long manhunt ensured and failed to turn up any clue of the little girl, despite leads pouring in, sightings of her in places as far away as Belgium. Vowing not to leave Portugal until Maddie was returned to them, the McCanns fled Portugal for the safety of Britain last week when Portuguese authorities stopped just shy of directly accusing the couple of having either accidentally or purposely killed their daughter and covered up the toddler's death with a fake abduction story. Since then, the accusations have been flying, tensions mounting and tempers here on Topix in the various fora running hot and heavy. And now, as a public service from Europe, a round-up of the latest headlines concerning the disappearance/death/kidnapping/murder/story of Madeleine McCann, age 3...

British papers proclaim Gerry and Kate McCann victims of "rampant speculation" and claim both parents of missing Madeleine McCann "utterly innocent" today.  According to a report published by Sky News, Clarence Mitchell, who quit his Civil Service job to help Gerry and Kate McCann, said "rampant" speculation about possible charges against the couple had to end. Britain's The Sun tabloid says: McCann family sources today said the evidence against the parents of missing Madeleine was at worst "totally useless". They also claimed that least 30 people used the hire car where it was claimed DNA from Maddie was found. It was reported this afternoon that the evidence is flawed and the McCanns would be cleared if the case came before a Portuguese court.  Meanwhile, according to an ITN news report, The case against the McCanns appears to be weakening after a judge reportedly refused to order Kate McCann to return to Portugal for questioning. Kate McCann could now be re-interviewed this week by British police acting on behalf of the Portuguese authorities...
