Madeleine’s father, Gerry McCann, said that the family was "extremely disappointed" by the revelation in a blog on his website, FindMadeleine.com. "Although all information will be taken seriously, we were very upset that the credibility of this letter had not been examined and, more importantly, published before the Portuguese police had an opportunity to investigate the claim, and search the area if appropriate without massive media attention," he wrote.
Authorities have followed up dozens of leads on the little girls abduction, including reported sightings of Madeleine, but none have yielded results. This latest tip claimed that Madeleine had been buried in remote scrub land, about 9 miles from the spot she vanished-a hotel in the resort town of Praia da Luz. Madeleine’s 2-year-old twin siblings were also in the hotel room with Madeleine, but were not abducted. The children were alone as their parents dined out at a nearby restauraunt.
