Police are searching for a resort worker who they claim 'kept secrets' from them during the initial investigation into Madeleine McCann's disappearance. 
An insider has revealed officers are searching for a Portuguese man who was nearby when the three-year-old went missing while on holiday in the Ocean Club resort in Praia da Luz, Portugal, in 2007.

A Portuguese police source told the Daily Mirror: ‘This Portuguese man used to work at the club resort, he speaks a bit of English.

‘British officers are convinced he knows more than he was saying and are very keen to question him.
‘They are not suggesting he stole Maddie, but he may know people who could have been involved after a burglary went wrong.



'Burglary gone wrong'  Laugh

£11 Million to come up with this.

Imagine if these clowns went to Hollywood and tried to pitch this crap as a movie script for £11M.....

'Okay , so the burglars get into the apartment ,they start looking around for phones and laptops and stuff , but then they find there are 3 kids aged under 4 ! And so the burglary 'goes wrong' because these kids could stop them burgling by ...er .....um .......  Confused        anyway now that the burglary has gone wrong they need to get away ASAP . So the best thing they can think of is to grab the 3 year old and carry her screaming through the streets because that makes it easier for them to , erm , and less conspicuous , well  ,maybe , erm Confused

Police do not eliminate suspects on the strength of lie detector tests not unless they are an out and out cowboy operation from some banana republic.

It's just another part of the 10 year witch hunt.

No idea if they are guilty or innoncent, but this is just another non story associated with the case, like the ex policeman who a few weeks ago after a whole decade came up with an “astonishing new theory” about Madeleine McCann....she walked out of the apartment and was taken!

I've only posted on this fred once before, and that was to say, I once left my baby daughter in my car (locked) right outside my local newsagent, and was in there all of 50 odd seconds, when I returned to the car, I was overtaken by an enormous sense of guilt and careless stupidity, and never repeated it. Sounds a bit daft I know, but the idea of leaving children of any age to go to a restaurant, no matter how near, and for a meal and drinks is quite beyond my comprehension, even looking in every 10 minutes (not the case) doe's not cut it for me

I don't have any idea what happened, any more than the opposing opinions above, other than the cold fact that a child has (most probably) been murdered murdered, and she is the one and only true victim here. Judgemental??? yes isn't that what separates from the other species!!

I have no opinions on The McCanns, and what they might or not not be doing/going through. I just know as a parent that my reaction would have been completely different, not better or worse just different.

They have used the machinery of publicity to the nth degree and the resultant decisions appear as bad as the decisions that caused this dreadful event in the first place. To my knowledge. They are NOT unworldly, nor uneducated, and also had maturity on their side
