CEOP launched an appeal for holiday makers to upload their holiday snaps onto their website ( no longer working: madeleine.ceopupload.com). It is unknown what happened with these holiday snaps and whether they passed on to the PJ.

Chief Executive of CEOP at the time was Jim Gamble. He resigned in October 2010 over a row concerning the proposed integration of CEOP with the National Crime Agency.
