Madeleine - Police Probe Strong Lead
Updated: 06:19, Saturday May 26, 2007
Portuguese police are pursuing what appears to be their strongest lead yet in the hunt for Madeleine McCann.
Detectives are looking for a man carrying what could have been a child, seen in the resort of Praia da Luz on the night the four year-old disappeared.
The man is described as white, aged between 35 and 40, and about 5ft 10ins tall. He has short hair and was wearing a dark jacket with light-coloured trousers.
Sky News correspondent Ian Woods, in Praia da Luz, said: "This description was given to police a short time after Madeleine went missing."
Chief Inspector Olegario Sousa, of the Policia Judiciaria, said the suspect was possibly carrying a child or an object that might have appeared to have been a child.
He appealed for the man, or anyone who knows about him, to come forward.
In an emotional interview on Sky News, Madeleine's parents have spoken about their guilt at leaving their daughter alone on the night she was abducted three weeks ago.
Mum Kate said: "We were checking regularly on the children and it was during one of my checks that I discovered she was gone."
They explained why their three children were left alone while they had a meal nearby.
Gerry said: "I think If you know the location here - what we did we've been assured by the thousands of messages from people who've either done exactly the same or would have done the same.
"For us it really wasn't very much different from having dinner in your garden, in the proximity of the location.
"I think it's fair to say that the guilt that we feel, having not been there at that moment - irrespective of whether we had been in the other bedroom or not - will never leave us."
