Investigators are hoping that new information will help solve the mystery of what happened to Madeleine McCann.
The then- three-year-old British girl disappeared six years ago while vacationing with her family in Portugal.
Scotland Yard is planning to release a computerized sketch of a possible person of interest in the case.
Former prosecutor Wendy Murphy joined America’s News Headquarters to discuss the development.
"I’m not buying it. I think this is more PR than anything," Murphy said. "I think this is all related to a civil suit now underway in Portugal."
The McCanns sued the former police chief for defamation because he wrote a tell-all book.
Alisyn pointed out that the McCanns claim the Portuguese police never took the case seriously

I guess since she is not involved, she doesn't need to buy it?

I think she is a very cruel woman, she appears to have an agenda of her own, namely that the parents are responsible for the murder and disposal of their little girl's body.
I have no idea what I would do in their place but I would probably ignore Wendy.

oh yep.. they did a great job didn't they..... NOT
If they managed to catch someone or find the child then they would have done a good job... all good to point the finger at the parents but unless they lay charges then I say they are jsut covering up a botched job.
I was just thinking today how amazing her parents are.. they have never give up and they have fought to get a better investigation... I hope she is found alive and well.

You don't think that she could be looking at it from the viewpoint of a professional ?
I disagree with what you are implying that she is saying .
In her opinion there won't be any new evidence until the mother answers those unanswered questions which would I'd imagine have helped with the actual investigation if she had have done so at the time...with a top defence Lawyer at my side and my child missing I'd want to be helping the investigation rather than refusing to answer questions that may help the police find my daughter .

So what are the unanswered questions?

Yes, she says that as did the person being sued but is it the truth?
I was appalled to hear the mayor say he felt great empathy for the parents but was sad that his town has been so maligned over this.
Who cares about the town's reputation as opposed to the missing 3 year old?

the parents are not amazing, they left their children alone.
its all very well for them to point the finger at the police saying they didn't investigate properly - well they didn't parent properly.
there would have been nothing to investigate if they had been decent parents and not left their children alone.
i'm not convinced they had anything to do with the disappearance, but then i'm not convinced they didn't either.
