Image: Church Service 12th May 2007, 9 Days after Madeleine Disappeared.Kate McCann was stuck in an "endless bad dream" and haunted by visions of her missing daughter Madeleine after her disappearance, she reveals in a new book.
After the three-year-old vanished during a family holiday in Portugal, Mrs McCann immediately feared that the youngster had fallen victim to a paedophile.
In an extract from the book, entitled Madeleine, the 43-year-old says she was feeling a "macabre slideshow of vivid pictures in my brain that taunted me relentlessly.
"I was crying out that I could see Madeleine lying cold and mottled, on a big grey stone slab.
"The pictures I saw of our Madeleine no sane human being would want in her head, but they were in mine.
"I simply couldn't rid myself of these evil scenes in the early days and weeks."
The book, which goes on sale next week, was written by Mrs McCann using her personal diaries.
In another extract, serialised by The Sun, she reveals her husband Gerry was also wracked with similar harrowing thoughts and visions.
Mrs McCann, from Rothley, Leicestershire, lays bare how she wanted to kill and "inflict the maximum pain possible" on the person who had abducted her daughter. Read More
