Police were last night preparing to call in one of Portugal’s most respected detectives in a desperate attempt to solve the mystery of missing Madeleine McCann.

Chief Inspector Carlos do Carmo is being lined up to spearhead the faltering investigation after the leading officer working on the case, Goncalo Amaral, was forced to stand down.

While the inquiry will officially remain based on the theory that Madeleine’s parents Kate and Gerry killed her, the change of leadership is expected to signal an in-depth review of the case.

Mr Carmo could take over the six-man team as early as next week to avoid further allegations that the investigation is on the verge of collapsing.

Close friends of the McCanns say they are worried that for two months police have made no effort to search for Madeleine, who was three when she vanished on May 3.

Police sources confirmed yesterday that Carmo’s outstanding record marked him out as the obvious choice to take over Portugal’s largest-ever missing person case.

The McCanns’ spokesman, Clarence Mitchell, welcomed the possible appointment.

He said: “Kate and Gerry are keen to see a quick and effective transfer of the handling of the case. Their main concern is that the attention of the investigation returns to searching for Madeleine.

“They are willing to do whatever is asked of them to co-operate and have always said they are willing to return for a review of the case.”

Amaral was taken off the case after he made controversial remarks about British police allegedly being influenced by the McCanns.

Mark Williams-Thomas, a former child protection detective, said whoever takes over will have to catch up quickly if the case is not to lose momentum.

“It will be very difficult,” he said. “It’s good to have a fresh pair of eyes but it will take a while to get up to speed. But I don’t think it will be an insurmountable task.”

Colleagues of Mr Carmo say his scientific approach could finally provide answers about what really happened on the night Madeleine went missing.
He has forged a reputation for getting results after leading a number of high-profile investigations. The chief inspector made his name in 2005 after tracking down a gang of armed bank robbers on the Algarve using phone bugs and advanced forensic techniques on suspect vehicles.
