Truemors
The travails of the McCann family proceed forward, as it has been
revealed that the unidentified item sought by Portuguese authorities is
Kate McCann's diary.
The prosecutors are following the legal protocol since obtaining it, so as not to violate legal statutes.
The McCanns' public appearance came as police in Portugal increased pressure on them by making an application to seize Mrs McCann's diary which, they claim, could help prove that she killed her daughter.As a number of family friends mounted a defence of the couple, others suggested the strain of the inquiry was beginning to take its toll.
Police believe that entries in Mrs McCann's diary could explain to a court why an apparently devoted mother could have killed her child and engaged in what they claim is an elaborate cover-up.
The new revelations follow an emergency application by Portugal's public prosecutor to take possession of an unnamed item - now understood to be the diary - within 24 hours.
Although the diary, which Madeleine's mother has kept updated almost constantly since the four-year-old vanished on 3 May, is already in the police's hands, legal rules mean that they need judicial authorisation to use it any trial.
