LONDON (AP) — British police on Tuesday released a new video imagining what missing girl Madeleine McCann would look like now, at age six, and urged Internet users to spread the pictures as widely as they can.

The appeal was launched by the U.K. Child Exploitation and Online Protection Center. Detectives hope the video will "prick the conscience" of someone who may be close to the girl's abductor.

The short film includes new images of how Madeleine might have changed more than two years after she disappeared while on vacation with her family in Portugal's southern Algarve coast in May 2007. Madeleine disappeared from the resort a few days before her fourth birthday.

"If you know who's involved and are keeping this secret, remember it's never too late to do the right thing," center chief Jim Gamble said in the film.

Gerry McCann, her father, told the BBC on Tuesday the video is an attempt to contact specific people rather than just appeal to the public for information.

"We need it to be spread far and wide, and for those people to be exposed to this message as many times as possible," he said.

The video is available in English, Arabic, French, German, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish. Police hope people will spread the film by way of blogs, e-mail and social networking sites.

There hundreds of articles on the news you would like to see. Go to them if you feel NBC is lacking.

How amazing would it be if they found her...wish best of luck for the family.

YOU WOULD NOT FEEL THAT WAY IF IT WAS YOUR LITTLE GIRL THAT HAS BEEN MISSING FOR SO LONG!!

If it was your child missing you wouldn't feel like there were more pressing issues out there. That is very cruel and heartless to say.

Hello?

Though tragic to say the least, there are far more pressing issues in this world today than the disappearance of an upper class white girl. Have you recently brushed up on the famine and plight of Sudan? Perhaps the invasion of the sovereign nation of The Republic of Georgia by Russia during your precious Olympics should have caught your attention?
