A German prosecutor claims to have evidence that missing Madeleine McCann is dead as he appealed to British tourists to help identify former homes where the suspect has lived.
Maddie McCann went missing in Prai De Luz in Portugal whilst her parents were socialising outside.
Hans Christian Wolters says he has information which he can’t reveal that convinces him that Madelaine Mcann is dead .
While admitting he does not have enough “hard evidence” for the suspect to go on trial. Mr. Walters appealed for more information about where the suspect has lived.
Mr Wolters believes there are other British victims of sex attacks and has urged them to contact police.
He told Sky News: “After all the information we got, the girl is dead. We have no information that she is alive.
“All indication we have got that I can’t tell you points in the direction that Madeleine is dead.
“We got things we cannot communicate that speak for the theory that Madeleine is dead, even if I have to admit that we don’t have the body.”Mr Wolters continued: “The hard evidence we don’t have, we don’t have the crucial evidence of Madeleine McCann’s body.
“We expect that she is dead, but we don’t have enough evidence that we can get a warrant for our suspect in Germany for the murder of Madeleine McCann.
“At the moment we also don’t have enough proof for a trial at court, but we have some evidence that the suspect has done the deed.
“That’s why we need more information from people, especially places he has lived so we can target these places especially and search there for Madeleine.
“We are going through them right now and we hope that there are some of them which can help us to make a big step to solve this case.
“Basically, we need every information in that time period, where did he live, where did he work, to which places he had a special relationship, who were his friends and the people he knew.
“Who can tell us what the suspect’s life was like, where has he been with his cars, who has been in his houses and can tell us what they look like from the inside. And we hope that maybe we find victims that maybe also got in these houses, victims of sexual crimes.”
However, German law bans the extradition of suspects to Britain for criminal trials. This makes it less likely for the suspect to face the full consequences of his crime if he is guilty.
Worse, if there is enough evidence for the Federal Police to charge him for Madeleine’s 2007 abduction and murder, he will only face a jail sentence of 25 years, suspended after just 15 if found guilty.
