Portuguese police want to question a British man who helped in the search for
Madeleine McCann, it was revealed today.
The man was on holiday in Praia da Luz at the same time as the McCanns, it was
reported today.
He arrived in Portugal
on April 28, the same day as the McCanns, and left on May 6, the day they
should have flown home, according to the Portuguese newspaper Jornal de
Noticias.
Police have recovered an Opal Corsa he rented from a car hire company in Faro,
about 60 miles from Praia da Luz, the paper said.
Detectives are now reportedly trying to establish whether this man had any
connection with the McCanns.
The development came as the hunt to find Madeleine was reported to be focusing
on a "missing hour" before she disappeared.
Portuguese police sources have also given fresh details of the fateful night
the little girl vanished.
Sources within the Portuguese police now say it is possible she was kidnapped
during the time between her father Gerry checked on her at 9.05pm and when her
mother Kate discovered she was missing at 10pm.
This contradicts earlier claims that she had been killed in the apartment.
And they are now focussing on this crucial period.
The belief among some detectives that Madeleine had died at the scene followed
the discovery by British sniffer dogs of specks of blood on a wall.
This led senior sources to say they had "definitively abandoned" the
theory that she was abducted and were convinced she died "as a result of
negligence or murder". Results of DNA tests on the blood are expected next
week.
But today police sources revealed fresh details of the time just before
Madeleine went missing.
Jane Tanner, a friend of the McCanns who was on holiday with them, saw a man
walking away with a child at around 9.30pm, some 25 minutes after Mr McCann's
last visit.
Witness statements made by the McCanns and their friends have led police to
consider that a kidnapper or killer may have been hiding in the apartment even
as Mr McCann checked on her at 9.05pm.
