Their letter included a tribute to all missing children, particularly those displaced by war in Ukraine and Gaza, and acknowledged the work of charities like “Missing People.” The McCanns reaffirmed their determination to leave no stone unturned in their search for Madeleine. They also planned to attend a prayer vigil in their hometown of Rothley.
