'Madeleine may be in US': amateur detective

The parents of missing schoolgirl Madeleine McCann have welcomed new information that suggests their daughter may be in America.

A spokesman for Kate and Gerry McCann yesterday said an investigator had done "absolutely the right thing" by going to police with his suspicions.

Amateur sleuth Marcelino Italiano reportedly said Madeleine, now aged 7, had been snatched by an Algarve-based paedophile ring in 2007 which had taken a dozen other children.

The Angolan-born nightclub bouncer said: "I know these people were involved and I have been told that Madeleine may now be in America."

He is understood to have handed a dossier including the names of two Portuguese businessmen to police in Spain.
