lending a hand. i have a daughter the samage, so if it happened to me, i would want and expect everybody to help me. one of the british newspaper reporters there became suspicious of robert morat s behavior. those suspicions snowballed after three of the mccann s friends reported seeing murat near 5-a. he denied being there after dark, but there s good reason he may have looked familiar. he lived next to it. he lives there. he s always there. it s a small village. the p.j.st stz se his home. but the media s scrutiny was far worse. meanwhile, gerry and kate mccann took the hunt beyond boarders.
here to help the investigation. what they found led to a major shift in the case. the dogs alerted to tiny specks of blood in apartment 5-a. she will find any human blood. according to the handler, one dog reacted to potential human remains in the trunk of the mccann s rental car, even though they didn t rent the car three weeks after madeleine went missing. conclusion, the girl died that night in the apartment, and the parents it was a turning point from the point of view from the portuguese investigators, whether rightly or wrongly the portuguese concluded at that time that madeleine mccann died in the apartment and that the parents sought to cover it up
portugal s history was underway. during the first three weeks, there were thousands all over the country to rescue madeleine mccann. then 11 days after the d disappearance, a potential break in the case. portuguese police, also known as the p.j., named the first formal suspect. who was robert muratsome robert murat is a british-portuguese resident of praia da luz who lived in 2007 there with his mother, only some 100 yards from apartment 5-a. after madeleine s disappearance made the morning news, robert murat walked out to his yard. that s when i met an english guy that had known the family. so he asked me if i would mind

balcony near the mccann s apartment just hours before madeleine disappeared. meanwhile, an upstairs neighbor saw another mann acting very suspiciously in the little pathway between the pool garden and apartment 5-a. and there was more. british police released a sketch of one of the men they say approached nearby apartments, asking residents for donations to a local orphanage. now, there was no such orphanage. so clearly these men were involved in some kind of a crime. possibly just burglary, but possibly something else. we ve got a lot of work to do. we ve also done a lot of work. we are wholly committed to making a difference in this case. we re fighting for madeleine mccann. a fight that has lasted far longer than any had hoped. there s no evidence that she s dead. so certainly from my point of
