Kate and Gerry McCann have reportedly said they are willing to quit their jobs as doctors and their home in Rotheley, Leicestershire, and start a new life in Portugal, where four-year-old Madeleine was abducted while on holiday with her family on May 3.

Kate and Gerry McCann have vowed they will not move back to England until they have found their daughter

Madeleine has been missing since May 3

Since then Gerry McCann has only returned home three times: twice to meet missing children experts and police, and once to attend a family baptism. Kate McCann has only returned once, for the baptism.

Her parents have reportedly declared it would be too traumatic to come home without her. "We only want to return home with Madeleine," her father told the Daily Star.

The couple are financing their search through the Find Madeleine fund, which currently stands at nearly £1million.

The McCanns have reportedly said they are willing to quit their jobs as doctors if necessary to stay in the Algarve

Police have said they expect a breakthrough in the case this week. They are due to reinterview the prime suspect, 33-year-old British national Robert Murat, this week after witnesses disputed his alibi.

Murat has always maintained that he spent the evening of Madeleine's abduction at his mother Jenny's house in Praia da Luz, the resort town in which the McCanns were staying.

However three of the McCann's friends who were travelling with them have said they saw a man of Murat's description near the McCann's holiday apartment shortly after Madeleine was snatched. Murat was reinterviewed by police last week on the basis of those claims.

Later, several other local witnesses similarly claimed to have seen a man matching Murat's description near the apartment. As a result police will be reinterviewing Murat again this week.
