A picture of the man suspected of abducting Madeleine McCann from her bed has been given to private detectives investigating her disappearance. The image has been compiled from evidence given by a woman who says that she saw Madeleine being carried away from an Algarve holiday flat shortly before she was reported missing 176 days ago.
It shows a white man carrying a girl wearing pink-and-white pyjamas similar to those worn by Madeleine on the night she disappeared, wrapped in what appears be a child’s pink blanket.
The man is approximately 35 to 40 years old, of medium build and about 5ft 10in. He has dark collar-length hair and is wearing a dark jacket, light beige trousers and dark shoes. He was allegedly seen by Jane Tanner, one of the McCann family friends, at 9.15pm on May 3. About 45 minutes later Madeleine was reported missing from her bed in Praia da Luz.
Kate and Gerry McCann, from Rothley, Leicestershire, commissioned the picture from a British artist because they are convinced that this is the man who abducted Madeleine and that he may still be holding her alive.
Ms Tanner, 36, says that she saw him as she returned to the tapas restaurant in the Ocean Club resort where the McCanns were dining with seven British friends. She told police that she did not realise the significance until Mrs McCann checked on her three children at 10pm and found Madeleine, who was almost 4, missing.
Portuguese police had refused to release details of Ms Tanner’s claims for more than three weeks and only made a public appeal after the McCanns threatened legal action. A senior police source said that they had not released the description because Ms Tanner’s evidence had changed over time and they feared it could hinder their inquiry. A previous police impression of another suspect was described as “an egg with hair”.
The new picture is far more detailed and clearly bears no resemblance to Robert Murat, a British man who was made an official suspect ten days after Madeleine’s abduction. Mr Murat, 33, who lives less than 100 yards from the McCanns’ holiday apartment, has strenuously denied any involvement.
Mr and Mrs McCann have been deeply unhappy with the Portuguese police investigation and are using private investigators in Britain and Spain as part of an international hunt for their daughter.
The picture of the suspect has been handed to investigators who are working across Europe and North Africa but are legally banned from operating in Portugal.
The McCanns believe that their daughter is being held on the Iberian Peninsula or North Africa and, on Wednesday, promoted a new confidential information line staffed by private detectives to collect details of possible sightings.
The picture was handed to the Spanish Antena 3 television channel before they gave their first interview since being made official suspects in their daughter’s disappearance.
During an emotional interview Mrs McCann, 39, told the 360 Grados show: “I think she is possibly being held by someone in their house but I don’t know. I strongly believe Madeleine is out there and we have to do everything we can.”
However, in a telephone vote held after the programme was aired on Wednesday night, nearly 70 per cent of callers said that they thought the McCanns were not telling the truth.
Mr and Mrs McCann hope that a review of the Portuguese police investigation will uncover evidence missed by the original inquiry team and prove that they were not involved in their daughter’s disappearance.
Ms Tanner and her partner, Russell O’Brien, a hospital consultant from Exeter, are expected to be reinterviewed by Portuguese detectives.
Mr McCann will return to work next week as a consultant cardiologist at Glenfield Hospital in Leicester. He wants to bring some normality back to family life for the sake of his two-year-old twins, Sean and Amelie.
