"The latest information is being pursued as Scotland Yard has been given more money to look into what is being called an “important” new lead in Madeleine’s disappearance. “There is specific information which is being investigated,”"
It may well be that people have forwarded pizzagate info to the authorities, as you have proposed (actually a load of new information was released in Podesta's emails by wikileaks - hundreds of emails using well know pedophile code words, which make no sense when read as plain text).
Sir Clement Freud (grandson of Sigmund Freud) has been newly identified as a long time pedophile, and is newly being investigated in the kidnapping of Madeleine McCann (the VICTIM) http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/06/14/sir-clement-freud-exposed-as-a-paedophile-as-police-urged-to-pro/ .
Coincidentally, he was also a long term friend of the Podesta brothers, and let them stay at his house in Portugal, a short walk from where Madeleine was abducted. He sent John Podesta an email to that effect, viewable from wikileaks. Coincidentally, John Podesta deleted his emails from before Madeleine's abduction, the very day after Madeleine's abduction.
In Feb 2014, Podesta made reference to Mark Bittman's girlfriend "Maddy" in another wikileaks email, in reference to a living person. Coincidentally, in the article you linked, the Sun reports on the Scotland Yard investigation that, "This is an important new line of inquiry... “It raises hope that she could still be alive."
The Podestas have many pedophile friends. Billionaire Jeffery Epstein is perhaps the most famous (convicted of sex crimes with minors, hosted Bill Clinton at least 26 times on his "Lolita Island"). Few normal people have such extensive networks of pedophile friends.
Oh, one of the other suspect sketchs looks a lot like Jeffery Epstein's "procuress" Ghislaine Maxwell
