Kate and Gerry McCann, both 39, are official suspects in the case along with British ex-pat Robert Murat, 33. | |
Madeleine, four, from Rothley, Leicestershire, was last seen in Praia da Luz on 3 May last year. | |
The McCanns dined with their friends at a tapas restaurant as they left Madeleine and their two other children asleep in their nearby apartment. | |
In November, one of the group, Jane Tanner, told the BBC she saw a man carrying a child through the resort at about 2115 on 3 May. | |
At the time she said she thought nothing of it, but realised the potential significance after she learned of Madeleine's disappearance at about 2200. | |
Much of the police investigation has focused on the timeline of events on that night, and the group of friends - the so-called Tapas Nine - have been key to piecing it together. |
