MADELEINE McCann's parents have made the heart-wrenching decision to move out of the resort where their daughter was kidnapped. Gerry and Kate were yesterday packing boxes at the rented apartment just a few doors from where Madeleine went missing 59 days ago.
The couple have found a modest property near Praia da Luz to use as their base as they continue their campaign to find her.
Their new location will remain secret as they try to rebuild a normal family life with their two-year-old twins, Sean and Amelie.
Gerry, 39, said yesterday: "Kate and I are staying in the Algarve, continuing to search for our daughter, but we will be moving shortly. "We remain convinced that Madeleine is alive and will be returned to us safely and well."
Meanwhile Danilo Chemello, 61, and girlfriend Aurora Pereira Vaz, 54, who are accused of trying to extort £2.5million reward money from missing Madeleine Mc-Cann's parents, appeared in court yesterday.
Spanish police say the man had no connection with the girl's disappearance two months ago.

MADELEINE McCann's parents have made the heart-wrenching decision to move out of the resort where their daughter was kidnapped. Gerry and Kate were yesterday packing boxes at the rented apartment just a few doors from where Madeleine went missing 59 days ago. The couple have found a modest property near Praia da Luz to use as their base as they continue their campaign to find her. Their new location will remain secret as they try to rebuild a normal family life with their two-year-old twins, Sean and Amelie. Gerry, 39, said yesterday: "Kate and I are staying in the Algarve, continuing to search for our daughter, but we will be moving shortly. "We remain convinced that Madeleine is alive and will be returned to us safely and well. At this point we are determined to stay in Portugal." The couple will take with them several boxes containing thousands of letters of support from wellwishers. Kate, 38, said: "Gerry and I want to thank everyone who is supporting us. We have had thousands of letters and we know that people all over the world remember Madeleine in their prayers." The McCanns have vowed not to return to their home in Rothley, Leicestershire, until they have some news of their daughter.
