KATE MCCANN returned to Portimão this afternoon (Thursday) to be questioned for a second time by the Portuguese police.
Justine McGuinness, speaking on behalf of the McCanns, said Kate and Gerry are happy to help the police in their investigations to find their daughter, Madeleine, as they have since she was taken.
Kate continues to believe that Madeleine is still alive and continues to hope and pray that she will be returned soon.

Kate, added Justine McGuinness, is a loving, gentle mother, one of the victims in an extraordinary and terrible set of events.
Kate McCann said: “I miss Madeleine so much. Gerry and I want to appeal again to the person or people who took her or know who took her, to do the right thing. It is not too late – please let her go or call the police”.
“We came to Portugal an ordinary family of five. We just want to know what happened on May 3 and want to be able to go home, one family, reunited”.
Kate McCann was interviewed as a witness. It was the first time she had been formally interviewed since the day after Madeleine disappeared.
Gerry McCann is due to return to Portimão tomorrow (Friday) to be interviewed, as a witness, for the third time.
The only official suspect in the case is British expatriate, Robert Murat, 33.
