What did the parents of Madeleine McCann reportedly say?

The convicted sex offender was named as Maddie‘s potential abductor in June 2020.

However, despite being in prison for a string of offences, he has still not been questioned about the incident in Portugal in 2007.

A McCann family source told The Sun newspaper: “Police don’t tell us what’s going on, we’re in the dark because it’s an ongoing investigation.

“But if it is him, and there’s no direct and conclusive evidence he may never say a word. He’s not saying a word now.

“He’s locked up for other crimes, so at least he’s in the best place – in jail.”

The source went on to say that the family doesn’t know what evidence the police have.

They fear that they will “never know” what happened to Maddie, and that they “keep hoping after all these years”.

This is the first time the family have spoken about the suspect.

Even though they issued a press statement at the time he became a suspect, Kate and Gerry did not mention him by name.
