LONDON (AP) -- U.K. police say it's possible missing girl Madeleine McCann is alive.

London's Metropolitan Police said Wednesday they will release a new image of the girl, who went missing on a family vacation in the Algarve coast in Portugal in May 2007.

She vanished shortly before her fourth birthday. 

Police say they still have regular contact with her parents and continue to investigate.
