Lisbon: The parents of a three-year-old British girl abducted from a holiday beach resort in Portugal prayed yesterday for her safe return, saying they continued to hope she would be found.
Gerry and Kate McCann attended church in the Praia da Luz holiday village, where their daughter Madeleine disappeared on Thursday night from the family's villa apartment.
"Please continue to pray for Madeleine," Kate McCann said as she and her husband left the church in a statement to reporters waiting outside. "From today's service the thing we are going to take is strength and courage and hope, we continue to hope for the best possible outcome from this for us and for Madeleine," her husband said.
Up to 150 Portuguese policemen are searching for the blonde-haired girl and British police officials have also travelled to the Algarve to help. The McCanns had put Madeleine to bed and were dining 50 metres away with friends when she vanished from the apartment where they were staying.
