A man spotted carrying a young girl in his arms has emerged as the key suspect for the abduction of Madeleine McCann after a radical shift in what police believe happened on the night she went missing.
Detectives investigating the disappearance of Madeleine say they have had an overwhelming response to a televised appeal broadcast yesterday which included e-fits of a man believed to be a key suspect.
It comes after a radical shift in what police believe happened on the night she went missing.
Police said they had received more than 118 calls after a new appeal that saw e-fits of the white man of medium build, who is thought to have been seen with a child in his arms on the night Madeleine disappeared.
