The British investigation into the disappearance of Madeleine McCann could end within weeks.

The five-year-old was snatched while with her parents on holiday in Portugal in May 2007 and there's been no sign of her since.

British police stepped in when Portuguese police wrapped up their investigation and have spent $20 million.

UK correspondent Gavin Grey told Kate Hawkesby they were granted an extra $250,000 but that money is now running out.

"Though we have a new Home Secretary and it is being rumoured that this could mean that no more money will be forthcoming and that will mean that this investigation, the last investigation still going, is now going to close."
