Portugal closes case of missing British girl

LISBON, Portugal (AP) - July 21, 2008 The case will remain on hold unless new evidence emerges.

Attorney-General Fernando Pinto Monteiro's office said Monday the 14-month investigation uncovered no evidence of a crime by the three people named as suspects: Madeleine's parents Kate and Gerry and local man Robert Murat.

The girl went missing in May 2007, a few days before her fourth birthday, during a family vacation in Portugal's southern Algarve region.
