Detectives are set to reveal new information about the hunt for Madeleine McCann in a television appeal.
THE parents of missing British girl Madeleine McCann said they were "greatly encouraged" by new information about the disappearance of their daughter on holiday in Portugal in 2007.
Kate and Gerry McCann said they were hopeful there would be developments from a major appeal based on "substantive" new information which is to be broadcast on a BBC television programme on October 14.
"We are greatly encouraged by new information coming to light with pieces of the jigsaw now fitting together," the McCanns said in a statement.
"We are really hopeful that the forthcoming appeal on Crimewatch will bring further new evidence which will take us a step closer to finding Madeleine and to bringing those responsible for her abduction to justice."
A three-year-old actor will play Madeleine in the reconstruction on the Crimewatch TV programme.
Kate and Gerry McCann say they are encouraged by the new information on the disappearance of their daughter Madeleine.
British police said that analysis of mobile phone data from thousands of people who were in the Portuguese resort of Praia da Luz when Madeleine McCann disappeared could provide a new lead.
They are also investigating 41 potential suspects, although no arrests have been made.
News of new information came as The Mirror reported that a witness admitted to a barrister that he had met the missing girl on a Mediterranean island just weeks ago.
The unnamed barrister said he spoke to the witness at a party in August and was stunned at the level of detail he gave about Maddie. The barrister said he has since given a full statement to police.
"I knew that by reporting it, it would compromise me in all sorts of ways. But it was something that I couldn't ignore. If I hadn't said anything I couldn't have lived with myself," he told the paper.
"I have told the police everything that I was told about her.
"They know what that was and that is why they have acted. I was able to be a bit more specific than just the island but I haven't been able to tell them exactly where the man said she was. I am now terrified that she has been moved elsewhere
Greater Manchester Police refused to comment on the matter when contacted by the paper for comment on the development.
Madeleine's parents have never abandoned their campaign to find their daughter, who was just about to turn four when she disappeared as she slept in the family's holiday apartment on May 3, 2007.
Her parents were dining with friends in a nearby restaurant at the time. Portuguese authorities closed their investigation in 2008. But London's Metropolitan Police spent two years reviewing the evidence and announced in July that they were launching an investigation into Madeleine's disappearance.
British police are working with senior detectives from Faro, in the Algarve.
