BREAKING: German man identified as main suspect in disappearance of Madeleine McCann
They also released images of a black Jaguar XJR 6 that was registered in the suspect’s name and believed to be in Portugal around the time of the disappearance, but was then registered in a different name in Germany in 2007.Two mobile phone numbers were also shared as part of the appeal for information, one used by the suspect and another that called him for half an hour – from 7.32pm until 8.02pm – just over an hour before Maddie was last seen.
An appeal for information is now being launched on German TV channel ZDF as part of a programme called ‘Aktenzeichen XY… ungelöst!’, which translated to ‘Case number XY… unresolved” in English. It is understood the German TV show will refer to the the case as a murder investigation, but the Met Police stressed that they have no evidence to suggest Madeleine is dead and are still treating her disappearance as a missing person.
Stuart Cundy, the Met’s deputy assistant commissioner, said: ‘Our main line or inquiry is this suspect. He is the main focus of our investigation, which is why we are making this appeal, to help us with that investigation, to prove or disprove his involvement.’
