ABC  

Four years after the disappearance of British girl Madeleine McCann, London police have been asked to "bring their expertise" to the case. Madeleine was four years old when she went missing from her hotel room in Portugal while her parents were dining at a nearby restaurant in May 2007.

"What tipped the balance in our decision is the continuing need to fund the search for Madeleine," the 43-year-old doctor said.
