The story

The family of Madeleine McCann, the British girl who vanished in Portugal more than four months ago, will launch a massive advertising campaign aimed at keeping the search for her a public priority.

A family spokesman told reporters Saturday the campaign would begin in two weeks.

The advertisements will run in newspapers, and on billboards and television broadcasts in Spain, Portugal and other parts of Europe "to remind everyone that Madeleine is still missing," said Madeleine's uncle, John McCann, who also is the family spokesman.

The project will be paid for with about $160,000 from the nonprofit fund set up to receive public donations for the search.

"This financing of advertisements will complement previous efforts by the fund and many motivated individuals -- family, friends and people touched by our cause," McCann said.Watch latest from search for Madeleine McCann Read full article »
