Man quizzed over missing Madeleine


Police investigating the disappearance of Madeleine McCann are interviewing a man as they searched a villa 160 yards from where she was snatched.

Intense police activity surrounded the house lived in by British man Robert Murat.

Murat's mother Jenny, who is believed to own the house, has been running a stall on the seafront in the village of Praia da Luz, Portugal, appealing for information from members of the public about Madeleine's disappearance.

Murat was a regular sight crossing the police tape and approaching the McCanns' apartment following Madeleine's disappearance.

He said he was helping the McCanns as a translator. But journalists told police earlier this week that they had suspicions about him.

The Policia Judiciara confirmed that they were questioning a man. A spokesman for the investigation did not confirm the nationality or identity of the person and described it as a "normal development".

On May 4, the day after Madeleine's disappearance when media descended upon the area, Murat made himself known to journalists, chatting about the case but refusing to reveal what his role was initially. He told people that he had a daughter the same age as Madeleine.

A few days later Sunday Mirror journalist Lori Campbell reported him to the Portuguese police because she thought he was suspicious. She said: "Basically he surfaced on Friday afternoon last week and was walking around as if he was somebody official. He claimed that he was just a local guy who spoke fluent Portuguese and English and was helping the family. He was coming in and out of the family apartment speaking with the media and acting like he was somebody official. But when questioned about it, he was very vague about his position. He said he just volunteered to help the police with their investigation."

Chief Inspector Olegario Sousa said that more than one person had been taken to the police building in Portimao to make statements. He emphasised that the people had not been arrested.

The operation began as early as 7am, it is understood. Men in white suits with facemasks were seen entering the house, where a swimming pool was said to have been drained.

Thanks for the update from over there. The last info I heard here in the States was that the portugal police had no information to go on and were still at square one........Lets pray that this man holds the key to this mystery. I did see a family photo for the first time today.....what a lovely family. How beautiful all the children are. We will keep little Madeline in our prayers.:grouphug:

Anyone watch the Brewers-Phillies game tonight?

I was one of those "old time" games. Not the uniforms or anything like that, just the Brewers stinking up the place like they had all through the 90's.

Blew a 6-2 lead in the 8th, giving up 6, and losing 8-6. Pathetic. Good teams shouldn't be blowing 4 run leads. This is the first time they lost 2 in a row since right at the begining of the season.

Sorry, just a little p!ssed from watching them blow it.
