A German man has been identified by UK police as a suspect in the disappearance of British toddler Madeleine McCann, who made headlines around the world when she vanished from the Portuguese resort 13 years ago.

In a statement announcing the new suspect, who is currently in prison in Germany for an unrelated matter, police said the suspect had a telephone conversation that ended just over an hour before the child went missing.

It added that the suspect had been been linked to an early 1980s VW T3 Westfalia camper van - with a white upper body and yellow skirting, registered in Portugal.Pictured in the Algarve in 2007, police said he was driving the vehicle in the Praia da Luz area in the days before Madeleine's disappearance and is believed to have been living in it for days or weeks before and after May 3.

The day after Madeleine went missing, the suspect got the car re-registered in Germany under someone else's name, although it is believed the vehicle was still in Portugal.“It’s more than 13 years since Madeleine went missing and none of us can imagine what it must be like for her family, not knowing what happened or where she is," said Detective Chief Inspector Mark Cranwell, who is leading the investigation.
