Madeleine vanished from the flat in Praia da Luz in 2007
After British detectives sat in on interviews in Faro with witnesses last week, the Sunday Express can reveal Policia Judiciaria co-ordinator Ana Paula Rito is taking a broader look at leads which may not have been fully pursued.
She is now keen to learn more about the Brazilian couple, who are said to have expressed a strong desire to have a child when they were in the ­Algarve in May 2007 when Madeleine vanished.
A few days after Madeleine vanished from flat 5a of the Ocean Club in Praia da Luz, a British man came forward with his concerns about the couple and was interviewed by Portuguese detectives.
On the night of the abduction the man was closing his video rental shop just a few streets away from the apartment.
At 10.45pm, 45 minutes after Kate McCann had discovered that her daughter was missing, he noticed the Brazilian woman, aged about 25, driving past his shop in a red car.
The couple, who were staying on a yacht at the marina left shortly after the disappearance and have not been seen again
He told police there was a dog in the front seat and the woman driver kept looking at something on the back seat which he could not see.
Her partner, a bald Brazilian man in his early 40s, had worked on a local farm but was fired after some machinery was damaged and later worked at Lagos marina, about four miles from Luz doing boat ­repair work.
The couple, who were staying on a yacht at the marina left shortly after the disappearance and have not been seen again.
A dark-haired woman seen hanging around the apartment at 8pm on the night Madeleine vanished has never been identified or traced.
On Friday expatriate British businessman Robert Murat was ­re-interviewed for several hours, the last of 10 witnesses to be seen.

That should keep operation Grange going for at least a century. Nice holidays on the beach in Rio

Still have to get into the apartment between 9.15 and 10 though, without being seen, or leaving any forensic trace.
Ah, well.

THERE IS NO MARINA IN PdL
There are flat rocks with a few bashed up fishing boats, then a soft sand beach, then the Rocha Negra, then a rocky coastline with high cliffs
The nearest Marina is in Lagos, some 10 km to the West.

A larger town, with lots more small children available.

When questioned about the physical characteristics of E**** S*****, he identified him as being bald, with a strong build, around 1,70 m in height, dark skin tone and around 42 years of age.

And it keeps the mystery going for ever.  BUT it makes SY look like complete stumblebums for not even considering it and not a peep about it in the Summer spectacular.   

Is the new woman in charge simply showing how easy it is to come up with ridiculous, unsubstantiated theories when zero evidence is required?   Is she hoping that the gullible buffoons of SY leap like over-eager puppies on this juicy new idea?   

I'm calling bluff.

it was a catamaran of high dimensions with the name "TROPICS";

Have we had a bald one before ?  
Tannerman had at least two differing haircuts,
Smthman had a full head of hair ( or several heads of hair !)
Copper and pimple and Harrisonman all had hair.
Now we have swarthy strongman midget Baldman

Or did have, in 2007.

Actually, YES:

QUOTE

Holidaymaker Nuno Lourenco, who is from Sagres but now lives in Germany, was sitting at a cafe with his German wife and their two children when he noticed a man taking pictures of his four-year-old blonde daughter and other children. He became so concerned at his behaviour that he took his own picture of the man - who was balding with long hair at the back - on his mobile phone.

Pity he doesn't come from Brazil, otherwise we might have a genuine lead on our hands
