Police investigating the disappearance of Madeleine McCann are still trying to find 13 suspects who could hold key information.
All the suspects were spotted acting suspiciously around the Praia da Luz resort, in Portugal's Algarve region, where Kate and Gerry McCann were staying when their daughter went missing in 2007.
Portuguese officers were recently handed extra cash to probe a new suspect, a foreign paedophile Martin Ney, who was allegedly in the area when Maddie vanished.
He has denied being invovled.
But these suspects described below are still out there...

The charity collectors

1 and 2. Two Portuguese men posing as charity collectors were seen in Praia da Luz around the time Madeleine McCann was abducted.
Bogus collectors targeted properties in the area on at least four occasions on the day the three-year-old was abducted, Scotland Yard has said.
One man, aged 40 to 45, knocked on the door of the apartment where the McCanns were to stay on April 25 or 26 between 2.30pm and 3pm, saying that he was a charity collector.
The other, aged 25 to 30, approached a property on the Rua do Ramalhete, near the Ocean Club, at around 4pm on May 3, hours before Madeleine McCann disappeared.

The lurking man

3. Grandmother Gail Cooper spotted a "disturbing and dirty" man lurking near the Portuguese apartment days before Maddie vanished.

Mystery sex attacker

4. A lone intruder who sexually assaulted five girls aged between seven and 10 in the Algarve remains on the loose.
The man carried out the attacks between 2004 and 2006. He preyed on holiday homes where Brits were staying – including two in Praia da Luz.
The attacks were discounted by investigators because they were no abductions.
Witnesses describe the man as having dark, tanned skin with short dark unkempt hair.
He spoke in English with a foreign accent. Scotland Yard detectives have not been able to identify the person responsible.

Martin Smith sighting

5. Mary and Martin Smith saw a man carrying a child matching Madeleine’s description at around 10pm 500 yards from the apartment.
The Irish couple told police he was heading towards the beach, did not look like a tourist and did not seem comfortable.
Martin later said that, after seeing TV footage of Gerry, he was “60-80% certain” he was the man he saw in Praia da Luz.
In October 2013 two e-fits were released to coincide with a BBC Crimewatch show. His identity has never been revealed.

The 'ugly man'

6. A "very ugly" man appeared to watch the apartment where the three-year-old's family was staying on the day before she vanished.
A British woman said she saw the man, with pitted skin and a large nose, twice in the days before Madeleine's disappearance and told police he was "very ugly", about 5ft 10ins tall, slim and was wearing casual clothes, probably jeans.

The blonde men

7 and 8. Two blonde men who were seen in an empty apartment, which had a terrace overlooking the bar where Maddie's parents were eating when she went missing.

The suspicious couple

9 and 10. Pizza shop owner George Brooks said on the morning of May 4, 2007 he saw a couple acting suspiciously carrying a child near to the marina.

The Victoria Beckham lookalike

11. A 'Victoria Beckham look-alike' who asked a British businessman in Barcelona whether he had her new daughter, hours after Maddie went missing.

The Ocean club man

12. Following extensive police work and cross referencing of witness reports, one man was sought as a priority.
The man was described by the two witnesses as being inside the Ocean Club complex in Praia da Luz area on the evening that Madeleine went missing from the apartment. 

The masked man

13. A man who speaks English and wears a surgical mask broke into a British family’s home in the area and loomed over a seven-year-old girl.
She woke up and asked “Is that you Daddy?”.
He replied “Yes” in a foreign accent.
According to detectives the man carried out nearly 30 attacks within a 40-mile radius of the holiday apartment where Maddie was staying.
His appearance remains a mystery.

I won't clutter the page with enormous e-fits from yesteryear as featured in the Mirror, suffice to say they are the usual suspects - give or take..



Apart from another Netflix plug, what is interesting to note here is how Jane Tanner's 'tannerman' has now morphed into Martin Smith's 'smithman' and Martin Smith's 'mccannman' has now morphed into 'oceanclubman'.

The thlot pickens.

However many suspects are put forward . . 
They still have to get IN and then OUT
and until someone can explain when and how that happened, everything else is just p*88ing in the wind.


Just ONE convincing piece of evidence would be enough.
Surely after 12 years someone in the vast group of supporters, accolytes, stooges and apologists can think of SOMETHING
And THEN the search can start !

  Was there a chimney?

Maybe this is where JK Rowling comes in.  Does PDL have a Diagon Alley or platform 9 3/4 ?

Bernad Hogan-Howe in 2016: We are on final lead in Madeleine McCann case.
"A final lead" three years ago... has become "13 suspects" in the media.
I don't know who I believe. :dunce:

Don't forget "arrests are imminent, we are closing in the abductor"

How long is imminent?

How long is imminent?

"13 suspects" remains after 12 years.
It must've been a h*ll lot of a movements around Ocean Club in the low season and the cold night in the beginning of May 2007, and the woman in purple directed the traffic.

It explains why Gerry and Jez didn't see Jane -  couldn't make her out in the crowd.
