The missing person's case of Maddie McCann is one of the most high-profile in the world after the young three-year-old mysteriously disappeared in May 2007.
Just last week, the Home Office granted an extra £150,000 ($264,000) to Scotland Yard after funds had run out, guaranteeing the search will continue until early 2019.
Met Police are reportedly chasing up two of lines of inquiry and have told Maddie’s parents Kate and Gerry they are “hopeful of getting a result.”
Edgar says that these lines of inquiry are most likely in connection to their theory that this was paedophile related kidnapping.
Mr Edgar added: “She could literally be anywhere in the world but my hunch is that she is in Portugal. The chance that she may have been smuggled out of the country without being detected is highly unlikely,
“Unless a body of there is hope.”
