Detectives investigating Madeleine McCann's disappearance are convinced that a new prime suspect is the man who kidnapped her in a huge breakthrough 13 years after the three-year-old disappeared.
The 43-year-old German, currently serving a 'lengthy' jail sentence for a sex crime, has not been named by British police but was living in a battered campervan in Praia da Luz in Portugal around the time Maddie disappeared on May 3, 2007. A German state prosecutor confirmed the suspect is a paedophile and has two previous convictions for 'sexual contact with girls', and had lived in the Algarve between 1995 and 2007 in a house just outside the resort town.
Christian Hoppe, from Germany's Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA), told the country's ZDF television channel that the man pursued several casual hospitality jobs in the neighbouring Lagos area during his time there to make a living. But further evidence suggests that he was dealing drugs and burgled hotels and apartment complexes. German police suggest that he could have silently crept into the McCann's apartment and kidnapped Madeleine.
MailOnline understands German police and security sources are convinced the 43-year-old suspect is the man to took Maddie and are hoping they can work to bring the long-running case to a conclusion. The Metropolitan Police revealed today that the suspect took a 30-minute call to his Portuguese phone between 7.30 and 8pm, around an hour before the toddler was snatched from the holiday apartment where she was staying with parents Kate and Gerry McCann and her young twin siblings, Sean and Amelie.
The suspect had been living in a rented farmhouse between 1995 and 2007 two miles outside of the Praia da Luz, but is believed to have moved into a campervan months before Maddie's disappearance. Speaking today at a press conference, Scotland Yard detectives who have led the ￡12million hunt for the toddler, said the suspect had been living in the 1980s VW T3 Westfalia campervan in the Portuguese resort in the days before she vanished.

The suspect, who is in prison in Germany for an unrelated matter, has been linked to an early 1980s camper van - with a white upper body and yellow skirting, registered in Portugal - which was pictured in the Algarve in 2007
He has also been linked to a 1993 Jaguar XJR6 with a German number plate seen in Praia da Luz and the surrounding areas in 2006 and 2007 including just days before Maddie's disappearance
The news today has given hope to comes as a shot in the arm to her parents Kate and Gerry McCann, who have never given up hope in the search for their daughter
On May 3, 2007 Kate and Gerry McCann went to a small tapas bar metres away from their apartment to dine with friends. But when Kate returned to do a routine check on their children, she found that Madeleine had disappeared
Maddie's parents refuse to believe their daughter is dead until her body is found, close friend says Madeleine McCann's parents refuse to believe their daughter is dead until her body is found, a close friend said tonight. Kate and Gerry cling onto a glimmer of hope that Maddie could still be alive as police probing her disappearance have sensationally revealed a prime suspect in a huge breakthrough in the 13-year mystery.
As police could be closing in on her kidnapper - a 43-year-old German who is currently in jail after committing other offences - the couple 'remain on tenterhooks' as they anxiously await updates.
A pal of the couple from Rothley, Leicestershire, said: 'German police are now leading on this inquiry and are treating it as murder. But what proof officers have got has not been spelt out at this stage. Until a body is found and it is proved to be Madeleine's, Kate and Gerry are not giving up hope.
'This is the biggest police activity for many years, it appears to be a significant breakthrough after all this time. In 13 years never before has any police force said "We believe this person to be the prime suspect." There is tangible evidence, the suspect was in Praia da Luz when Madeleine went missing and he had been behaving suspiciously and is now serving a prison sentence.
'But does it make him Madeleine's abductor and, if it does, where is she and why now has he suddenly come to light when his name was given to police three years ago. And has he had any involvement in paedophilia? 'There are still many unanswered questions and we cannot speculate.
'Kate and Gerry want answers more than anyone but while the Metropolitan Police are still treating Madeleine's disappearance as a missing people's inquiry, it gives the family hope that she could still be alive. Nothing has changed for them. They will continuing hoping until they know for sure.
The friend said that heart doctor Gerry, 51, and ex GP turned medical worker Kate, 52, remained 'incredibly grateful' to the British force for its continuing work over nine years.
McCann spokesman Clarence Mitchell declined to make a comment, saying: 'Kate and Gerry have given a direct statement through police.' The family have recently been buoyed up by news of a Chinese boy being found alive 32 years after being abducted. The pal said: 'This is the news they are dreaming of receiving themselves one day.'
They also disclosed he is linked to a 1993 Jaguar XJR6 with a German number plate seen in Praia da Luz and surrounding areas in 2006 and 2007. The day after Madeleine went missing, he got the car re-registered in Germany under someone else's name, although it is believed the vehicle was still in Portugal. Both vehicles have been seized by German police, who say they are leading a murder investigation, although British police still insist it's a missing person inquiry.
The suspect is described as white with short blond hair, possibly fair, and around 6ft tall with a slim build. Scotland Yard today announced they were launching a 'major' joint appeal with the Federal Criminal Police Office of Germany (BKA) and the Portuguese Policia Judiciaria (PJ) including a ￡20,000 reward for information, just over 13 years after she vanished.
Detective Chief Inspector Mark Cranwell, who leads Operation Grange, told the press briefing: 'He is a German national, he's currently in a German prison for an unrelated matter. He's white, he's about six foot in height.
'He's 43 now. At the time he was 30, but he could have looked aged somewhere between 25 and 32. 'There may be people in the past who have been quite fearful of coming forward to the police, and my message is to anybody that has information... the message really is associated with the fact he is currently in prison.
'This might be a good time, this is a good time, to come forward and talk to, whether it's the UK police, whether it's the German police or the Portuguese police.' In a 'really unusual' step, Mr Cranwell also told reporters that Scotland Yard were releasing two mobile phone numbers as part of the appeal. The first, [url=tel +351) 912 730 680](+351) 912 730 680[/url], is believed to have been used by the suspect and received a call from another Portuguese mobile, [url=tel+351) 916 510 683](+351) 916 510 683[/url], while in the Praia da Luz area, starting at 7.32pm and ending at 8.02pm on May 3. Madeleine is believed to have disappeared between 9.10pm and 10pm that evening.
The caller, who is not thought to have been in the Praia da Luz area, is not being treated as a suspect, but is said to be a 'key witness'. 'Any information in relation to these mobile numbers during the spring and summer of 2007 could be critical to this investigation,' said Mr Cranwell. Deputy Assistant Commissioner Stuart Cundy said the investigation into the suspect had seen Met detectives sent to Portugal and Germany.
He added: 'This is a significant development, which is why we've made the decision to take this significant step of making a public appeal on some information that we would not normally talk about in our major investigations.
The Portuguese Policia Judiciaria police said in a short statement last night: 'The PJ confirms that as part of the investigation into the disappearance of a British child in the Algarve in 2007, measures are still being taken to clarify completely the situation.
'Through close coordination with the German authorities (BKA) and the Metropolitan Police, through the sharing of information and the undertaking of formal investigative and expert work, in Portugal and abroad, material was collected that indicates the possible involvement of a German national in the disappearance of the child.
'The family of the missing child has been informed of these developments by the British authorities. The investigation continues.' The news today comes as a shot in the arm to her parents Kate and Gerry McCann, who have never given up hope in the search for their daughter. Last month, the couple penned an impassioned letter ahead of what would have been their daughter's 17th birthday.
They wrote: 'It is now 13 years since we were last with Madeleine. Her 17th birthday is to follow in the next couple of weeks….the latter tangibly, painfully, bringing it home to us what we have missed and continue to miss as a family.
And tonight, a close friend of the Kate and Gerry told MailOnline that they refuse to believe their daughter is dead until her body is found. A pal of the couple said: 'German police are now leading on this inquiry and are treating it as murder. But what proof officers have got has not been spelt out at this stage. Until a body is found and it is proved to be Madeleine's, Kate and Gerry are not giving up hope.
