Madeleine went missing from her family’s holiday apartment in the Portuguese holiday resort of Praia da Luz in 2007.

Three-year-old “Maddie” disappeared from the Portuguese holiday resort of Praia da Luz in 2007.

Christian Brueckner has been linked to the disappearance of two children in 1996 and 2015.

The German national was 30 years old when three-year-old Madeleine vanished in Praia da Luz, Portugal, in 2007.

Her parents say they haven’t lost hope of finding her.

A former investigator made the claims in a book about her disappearance.

At least three “mostly Portuguese” suspects are to be questioned.

No arrests have been made, according to Scotland Yard.

A lot of people who were in Praia da Luz at the time of the 3-year-old’s disappearance have been in touch with police since the re-enactment of her disappearance.

Last night’s Crimewatch programme showed a re-enactment of the disappearance of the 3-year-old and established a number of significant changes to the timeline of her disappearance.

Police said the young person was aged three to four years and was possibly wearing pyjamas.

Police hope that analysis of mobile phone data from thousands of people who were in the Portuguese resort of Praia da Luz when the toddler disappeared could provide a new lead.

Officers from the Metropolitan Police say they are looking to have the investigation into the girl’s disappearance nearly five years ago reopened. One detective said that they were working off the possibility that Madeleine could still be alive as a new age progression photo was released today.

David Cameron writes to the McCanns to pledge a fresh inquiry into missing Maddie, who would turn 8 yesterday.

Four years on from Madeleine McCann’s disappearance, a chilling picture of police incompetence and paedophile activity in the Algarve emerges in a new book by her mother.

Kate and Gerry McCann reveal that they are running out of cash to continue looking for their daughter.
