Madeleine McCann is a four year old English girl who was abducted from Praia Da Luz, Portugal on 03/05/2007 during a family holiday. They believe a new picture of the missing child could play a vital role in the search for her. The photo of the youngster shows clearly her distinctive right eye, where the pupil runs into the blue-green iris.

The new poster of Madeleine. 

 It is this distinguishing mark that will identify Madeleine to those on the lookout for her, according to aunt and uncle John and Diane McCann. The Glasgow couple aim to distribute the appeal poster, as far a field as they can. Support for the search has been "overwhelming" and her family are extremely grateful.

Her right eye

Mrs McCann said: "The purpose of the poster is to highlight the distinction in Madeleine's eye. We want to make the most of it, because we know her hair could potentially be cut or dyed." Mr McCann added: "The poster was designed by a friend of the family and I've begun Emailing it to acquaintances in different parts of the world." I'm asking people to circulate it the best they can and make it be seen." Madeleine's Eye Holds a Vital Clue. The mark from the Pupil runs into the Iris of her eye.
