Parents of Missing British Girl Madeleine McCann to Leave Portugal by merrie

Kate and Gerry McCann, parents of Madeleine, abducted 4-year old
daughter are planning to depart Portugal for Great Britain, with the
knowledge of Portuguese authorities. They have endured the media spectacle as hundreds of journalists camped out outside the
McCanns' vacation home in Portugal early Sunday, threatening to turn
their departure into a circus.

Gerry McCann said in a newspaper interview he was concerned their treatment indicates Portuguese police are under intense pressure to solve the case.

"We thought we were in our worst nightmare but now it just keeps getting worse and worse," Gerry McCann was quoted as saying in an interview with the Sunday newspaper The News of the World.

"... We're desperate to get back for the kids' sake and emotional reasons," he was quoted as saying. "It's not that we're running away."

The McCanns' Portuguese lawyer, Carlos Pinto Abreu, said after the separate interrogations ended late Friday that police had not imposed any restrictions on them, "meaning they have total freedom of movement."

However, after reviewing their statements authorities could decide to bring charges against them in the May 3 disappearance of their daughter Madeleine from the family's hotel room in southern Portugal's Algarve region.
