In March, the McCanns - named as suspects amid reports that Portuguese police had found Madeleine's DNA in the trunk of a car rented almost a month after her disappearance - won an apology and $1.1 million from Britain's Express Newspapers, after its tabloids falsely suggested the parents were responsible for Madeleine's death.
