One suspect, a German male aged 43, is currently serving time in prison for unrelated offences including burglary, child exploitation & sexual abuse.

The man had been living life in a camper van, and working in and around Praia da Luz at the time of Madeleine's disappearance.

German authorities are treating their investigation as a murder inquiry, while Scotland Yard say it is still a missing person case. German police believed they had almost enough evidence to charge him with Madeleine's abduction and murder.

What I want to know is why are they now saying it's a murder investigation rather than an abduction only? To me this sounds like the German authorities have more proof than they are releasing otherwise it would still be a missing-persons case.

This distinctive camper van was spotted 13 years on from her disappearance.

Police are appealing for anyone who may have seen the camper van in or around Praia da Luz on the night Madeleine went missing, or in the days before or weeks after or the Jaguar during the spring and summer of 2007.
