KATE and Gerry McCann vowed to continue the search for their daughter Madeleine last night after the Portuguese authorities shelved their investigation into the child's disappearance.
The couple welcomed prosecutors' decision to lift their status as arguidos, or formal suspects, but said they had no cause for celebration.
Her voice breaking with emotion, Mrs McCann said: "It is hard to describe how utterly despairing it was to be named arguidos and subsequently portrayed in the media as suspects in our own daughter's abduction. It has been equally devastating to witness the detrimental effect this status has had on the search for Madeleine."
The Portuguese prosecutors announced that they had no evidence that the three suspects in the case committed any crimes. As a result, they shelved the case and also lifted the arguido status on Robert Murat, a resident of the Algarve.
