Police to release picture of suspect in case of missing girl Madeleine McCann BRITISH police will issue a computer-generated image of a new suspect in the disappearance of Madeleine McCann. Sky News reports the was man seen near the Portuguese holiday apartment from where the then three-year-old British girl vanished in 2007. As part of an appeal for fresh information, police are expected next week to release the picture and give details of the suspect's movements around the resort of Praia da Luz. Scotland Yard would neither confirm nor deny the claims. Police said in a statement that they wouldn't discuss the content on an upcoming appeal. They said the appeal had been weeks in the planning. "We will be asking for help from the public in a number of countries, delivered through a series of public appeals," the statement said. This March 2007 file photo released by the McCann family shows three-year-old British girl Madeleine McCann. We will do nothing to jeopardise the effectiveness of these appeals and we have repeatedly stated that media speculation can be damaging to our efforts. Madeleine's parents Kate and Gerry McCann said earlier this week they were hopeful there would be developments from a major appeal based on "substantive" new information which is to be broadcast on a BBC television program on October 14. A three-year-old actor will play Madeleine in the reconstruction on the Crimewatch TV program. News of new information comes after The Mirror reported that a witness admitted to a barrister that he had met the missing girl on a Mediterranean island just weeks ago. Greater Manchester Police refused to comment on that matter when contacted by the paper for comment on the development.
