The mother of Madeleine McCann has arrived at a Portuguese police station to undergo further questioning by detectives.
Kate McCann (39) was driven to the station in Portimao by her husband Gerry from their rented house in the seaside village of Praia da Luz.
It is the second time she has been interviewed by police, and she was accompanied by the couple's lawyer. Mr McCann will be interviewed separately by police on Friday.
A spokeswoman for the McCanns read out a short statement at the police station this afternoon.
"Kate and Gerry are happy to help the police in their investigations to find their daughter Madeleine , as they have been since she was taken.
"Kate continues to believe that Madeleine is still alive, and to hope and pray that she will be returned soon. Kate is a loving, gentle mother - one of the victims in an extraordinary and terrible set of events."
Mrs McCann's brief statement said: "I miss Madeleine so much. Gerry and I want to appeal again to the person or people who took her or know who took her to do the right thing. It is not too late - please let her go or call the police," the statement said.
It is 126 days since four-year-old Madeleine went missing from her family's holiday apartment in Praia da Luz as her parents dined in a nearby tapas restaurant.
