They're now at zero. "Madeleine McCann has been totally excluded as a potential victim," said Detective Superintendent Des Bray today, per NBC News. The BBC reports police have also ruled out 43 missing Australian children as the victim, who is thought to be a girl between the ages of 2 and 4 who was killed sometime during or after 2007.
