Other people may have “concrete knowledge” of the disappearance of Madeleine McCann, German police said as they revealed a child sex offender is the prime suspect.
The man, who has not been named, is white with short blond hair, possibly fair, and about 6ft tall with a slim build at the time she vanished on May 3 2007.
Christian Hoppe, from Germany’s Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA), told the country’s ZDF television channel the 43-year-old is serving a prison sentence for a sex crime and has two previous convictions for “sexual contact with girls”.
Julia speaks with McCann family spokesman Clarence Mitchell, and human rights lawyer Paul Gilbert.
