Top cop spearheads new probe into the disappearance of Madeleine McCann

PROBE: Det Chief Insp Colin Sutton


BRITAIN'S top murder cop has been lined up to spearhead a new probe into
the disappearance of Madeleine McCann, we can reveal.


Det Chief Insp Colin Sutton, 49, who has been involved in some of the
UK's biggest inquiries - including the murder of Milly Dowler and the terror
reign of the Nightstalker sex beast - is seen as the best man to handle
the challenging review.

Senior child protection officer Jim Gamble has asked Scotland Yard to
take a fresh look at the three-year investigation.

He blasted Portuguese cops for their handling of the hunt for Maddie -
who vanished aged three from her family's Algarve holiday apartment in 2007.
Now the Met Police are set to review all leads in the case, using technology
and standards expected in a UK homicide or kidnap.

It will delight Maddie's parents, Kate and Gerry McCann. A senior police
source said: "They deserve reassurance that everything that can be done
has been done."

Well thats good to hear :)

lets hope and pray this man can find Madeleine,and unravel the mess the Portuguese police have made this case!!!

And i hope that the leads and info he might find on the way doesn't have to be shared with Portuguese police...that way anything found,anything that might be significant to this investigation can be handled by the right people and nothing should be disclosed to those who have blatantly refused to help find her.

DETECTIVES have been handed a photograph showing a man behaving oddly in the days before Madeleine McCann was kidnapped.

A British holidaymaker accidentally captured him in the background of a family snap taken at the Portuguese resort of Praia da Luz in April 2007, days before Madeleine, then three, disappeared.

It was passed to detectives from Leicestershire who are assisting the police in Portugal. Last week we published Gail Cooper’s account of her encounter with the strange man when he later came to her holiday villa in the resort, asking for money for an orphanage. Today we reveal that one of Mrs Cooper’s friends, Leanda Hodson-Mackey, took a snap of her husband Stephen, 34, and son, then aged two, and the man appeared in the background, walking along the beach during a downpour. Although his features cannot be clearly made out, there is a rough image which could be enhanced with FBI picture improvement techniques.

Mrs Cooper, 53, from Newark, Nottinghamshire, told the Sunday Express last week she believes the same man went on to kidnap Madeleine McCann. She had flown to Luz with a party of 13 family and friends in the week before Madeleine was taken, to celebrate her 50th birthday. Mrs Hodson-Mackey, 34, and her family spent four days at an apartment in the Mark Warner complex with Leanda’s mother Trudy Dawkins, 49, and her husband Lee, 40. The apartment was directly above apartment 5a, where the McCanns would stay the following week.

Last night Mrs Dawkins, also from Newark, said: “When we were back home it was on the news that Madeleine had disappeared and we all racked our brains to see if there was anything we could remember which would help the investigation.

“We all remembered this man walking along the beach in the rain, then Gail recalled he later went to her villa.


“Leanda had a throwaway camera. She went through
the pictures she had taken and realised the man was in the background in
one. Detectives took a statement from her and took away the picture,
but we don’t know what happened after that.


Tomorrow Madeleine’s mother Kate, 42, from Rothley,
Leicestershire, will meet Prince Charles at Westminster Abbey during a
service to remember young victims of violence. She will be among 1,000
guests marking the anniversary of teenager Jimmy Mizen’s murder in 2008,
during a fight in a bakery shop in Lee, south-east London.

The families of Damilola Taylor and
Ben Kinsella will also be at the “Building a Legacy of Peace” service.

I am positive that the "Wrong" authorities involved will be well & truly exposed for their part in the failure of Madeleine's so called investigation. This is great news for Madeleine & her family.

Halleh-flippin'-luyah!




It's about damn time too! I hope amaral is caking in his pants now! Though I have no doubt bennett will come up with sixty reasons why this man is not suitable for the job.

I agree with you whymadeleine, Vee, let´s hope that this is the start of positive news, which will help find her, bring her alive and safe, because this what really matters.
