A van used by Maddie McCann suspect Raymond Hewlett will be "ripped apart" in a hunt for clues. Private detectives believe forensic checks could provide crucial evidence about the toddler's disappearance. The battered blue Dodge has been seized by cops in Germany, where paedo Hewlett, 64, is being treated for cancer. A source close to the probe added: "It will be ripped apart to look for a trace of Maddie."

Maddie cop in riddle of bank £100k

The News of the World

One of the first Portuguese cops at the scene the night Madeleine McCann vanished is under investigation after £100,000 appeared in his bank account days after she went missing. He has been suspended while senior detectives probe his finances. Kate and Gerry McCann are aware of the new turn of events. Suspicions were raised after a corruption inquiry uncovered 12 large cash amounts being paid into two accounts under the cop's name. The payments began shortly after Madeleine disappeared from Praia da Luz on May 3, 2007. The cop claims his name was used to open accounts without his knowledge. The corruption probe began into alleged criminal and drugs offences by Algarve police. Kate McCann last night attacked convicted paedophile Raymond Hewlett for refusing to talk to investigators because they were unwilling to pay. He denies any connection with Madeleine.

POLICE investigating the disappearance of Madeleine McCann are racing against time to probe the lies told by convicted paedophile Raymond Hewlett. Hewlett, 64, who is terminally ill with throat cancer, lied about significant aspects of the case, including whether he had seen the three-year-old before she went missing from the Praia da Luz holiday resort in Portugal in May 2007. He served three jail terms in the UK for sex crimes involving children before he took up a nomadic existence criss-crossing Europe with his wife and seven children.

Paedo's story falling apart

Madeleine McCann suspect Raymond Hewlett is today sensationally back in the frame after being caught lying. The paedophile insisted he drove only a distinctive blue truck at the time the youngster vanished. But former pal Peter Verran, 46, says Hewlett, 64, had a white Mercedes van - similar to one seen near the McCanns' apartment. A source close to the investigation said: "This could be very significant."
(Blogger Note: Source for information Peter Verran. The blue van was the only vehicle Hewlett owned at the time Madeleine disappeared, and it was home to himself, 6 children and his wife.)

Madeleine McCann suspect: I didn't kill her

Madeleine McCann suspect: I didn't kill her
Liverpool Click
John Harkin

The prime suspect in the Madeleine McCann case has today denied he was involved in her disappearance.

Raymond Hewlett, who has been in hiding ever since he was named in connection with the case, admits he was in the Algarve at the time Madeleine was snatched.

And five weeks after she disappeared, he left Portugal for Morocco for a two-month-long "business trip".

Hewlett is also REFUSING to give an alibi for the night Madeleine,three, vanished.

Speaking to the Sunday Mirror, he said "I have an alibi but why should I share it?" he says, struggling for air with each syllable.

"There is a person who can say where I was that day, but why should I bring them into this? I've done nothing wrong.

"Why should I have to prove it?

"My life's been made a misery for something I know nothing about and a crime I have not committed.

"I'd take a lie-detector test.

"I'll take any test you like. The only time I've seen Madeleine McCann is on missing posters.

"And I saw her on TV in a bar once. But I've never seen her in real life. Yes I've been to Praia da Luz, but not since 2002."

But those claims contradict what former Scots Guard Mr Verran, 46, says Hewlett told him - that he was in and around Praia da Luz at the time Madeleine disappeared in May 2007.

The McCanns private detectives first became aware of father-of-six Hewlett in February this year when his name was given to them during local door-to-door inquiries.

Portuguese detectives told UK officers they were unaware of his existence until the McCann team uncovered his name.

But bizarrely, Hewlett tells the Sunday Mirror he was visited twice by Portuguese police over the Maddie case and gave detectives a DNA swab and fingerprints, although he was never arrested or quizzed.

The McCanns' investigators are unsure whether to believe him or the detectives in Portugal.

Hewlett says that Portuguese police, acting on unknown information, swooped on his truck while he had throat cancer treatment across the border in Spain in August 2008.

He says:"They checked that all the children living with us were ours.

"Our youngest girl looks a bit like her. But they saw everything was OK and they left.

"The police came again in August last year and told Mariana it was about the McCann girl.

They asked for me and Mariana told them I was in hospital. They came to see me and asked permission to take DNA and fingerprints. I was very sick and barely able to speak to them. They asked where we parked in the Algarve in the first half of 2007.

"I told them, "You know where we've been because you know us round there.' "I knew why they were asking, because I'd seen the TV and newspapers.

"I was miles from the UK but it didn't make any difference. I'd tried hard to build a new life. But the reality for me is that my past convictions will never go away.

I have to put up with it because it's always going to be this way.

"I gave them their DNA and fingerprints. I knew they were just doing their job but I was angry. I had enough to cope with. I had cancer and no money."

Hewlett says he was 60 miles away - in Vila Real de Santo Antonio - when Maddie was taken.

Crucially, he says he cannot specifically remember being there that day.

"May 3 was a Thursday and I was always in Vila Real Santo Antonio on Thursdays."

"My routine never altered. That's 100km from Praia da Luz.

"If you asked people there if we were there on that day, I don't know what they'd say.

"Maybe they can't remember.

"If you ask them if we were normally there, they'd say yes. If it wasn't for the fact that we were living the way we were, I wouldn't be able to say so clearly that that was where I was.

He also claims that a female friend who shot a home video of him and his family on May 5 - two days after Maddie vanished - could vouch for his whereabouts on May 3.

His youngest daughter Yanina bears a striking resemblance to missing Maddie.

He says: "The friend who made the video would remember where I was two days earlier. She could tell anyone where I was. But I haven't asked her and I don't intend to.

"Why should I ask her? I don't think I should involve anybody.

"Why should I keep dragging people in to this?

"I don't like being in it, so why should I keep putting people's names forward so that they get bothered with it too?

"I could ask her, but if she says no, then sorry, the answer is no. Then people will just have to carry on speculating."

Today as he wastes away on the fourth floor of a tower block, Hewlett is close to death.

Doctors discharged him from hospital, telling him there is nothing more they can do for him, and his weight has plummeted to just 45kg.

Instead of expressing sympathy for Kate and Gerry McCann, he insists people should feel sorry for him.

"I've been through hell and now I have got another hell which I don't deserve."

Shaking with pain, he repeats: "I didn't kill the McCann girl."

Brian Kennedy, who pledged to support the McCanns until Madeleine was found, has stopped paying for the couple's media campaign after the credit crunch hit his business interests. The Madeleine Fund - which is down to £500,000 and expected to be empty by the end of the year - is now paying for the media relations work of former BBC reporter Clarence Mitchell, although at a reduced rate.

I saw Maddie twice, admits paedo suspect; sensational confession to cops

0 comments 6/06/2009 Posted by Winnower

The Sun
Antonella Lazzeri

[ NOTE:  This information appears come solely from McCann spokesman CLARENCE MITCHELL. Can it be assumed that when the information is attributed to "a SOURCE" it is actually CLARENCE MITCHELL speaking "OFF THE RECORD"? ]

Child-sex fiend Raymond Hewlett has sensationally admitted he TWICE saw Madeleine McCann before she vanished. Hewlett, 64, claimed he was at the holiday resort where Maddie was kidnapped — and got so close to her that he could see the distinctive flaw in her right eye.

[ NOTE:  Raymond Hewlett did NOT confess to having been in Praia da Luz or to seeing Madeleine in person. He said he'd seen her image on posters etc. and that he had not been in Praia da Luz since he first arrived in Portugal with his wife and children in 2002 - 5 years prior to Madeleine's disappearance. ]

The pervert — who has a string of convictions for sexually assaulting young girls — is said to have made his confession to police who questioned him about a 1975 attack on an eight-year-old.  

[ NOTE: Max McLean, investigator in the Lesley Molseed murder was one of those officers. ]

That is a dramatic U-turn after Hewlett previously claimed he had never been near the Ocean Club holiday complex in Praia da Luz, Portugal — where Maddie disappeared days before her fourth birthday in May 2007.

Two senior officers from West Yorkshire Police travelled to Germany, where Hewlett is in hospital being treated for throat cancer. A SOURCE close to the investigation said Hewlett told the cops he had been to the Ocean Club and seen Maddie.

The SOURCE added:

    "He said he had seen her at least two times and had wandered around the complex several times. "He said he had been so close to Maddie he was able to see the distinctive mark in her right eye. "He didn't say why he had previously denied ever being in Praia da Luz. It's obviously a disturbing development."

Last night CLARENCE MITCHELL, official spokesman for Maddie's parents Gerry and Kate, said it was vital Hewlett now spoke to private investigators employed by the family to find Maddie.

He [CLARENCE MITCHELL] said:

    "If Mr Hewlett has any credible information about Madeleine it is absolutely imperative that he should speak to the investigators as a priority.  Mr Hewlett and his representatives must do the right thing and allow the private investigators to do their work."

Hewlett, originally from Todmorden, England, refused to see the McCanns' investigators when they flew to Germany two weeks ago. He now says he will talk to them — if he is paid. 

[ NOTE: No credible source has been found to support this allegation. ]

But Mr [CLARENCE] MITCHELL said:

    "No payment will be made for any such interview."

Hewlett has also employed a lawyer to try to sell his story to newspapers for thousands of pounds. 

[ NOTE: No credible source has been found to support this allegation and the alleged lawyer has never been named. ]

The SOURCE said:

    "There are fears he's trying to cash in on Maddie, and it may be that he has made these claims to get more money. Whatever his motives, he needs to be seen by the investigators because he may have vital information."

Hewlett emerged as a suspect in Maddie's abduction after it was revealed he was living at a campsite nearby in May 2007. British tourists who spoke to him said he was "obsessed" with the case.  

[ NOTE: BRITISH TOURISTS: PETER VERRAN, ALAN THOMPSON AND CINDY THOMPSON ]

Police wanting to quiz Hewlett over the 1975 assault had been unable to trace him as he travelled around Europe and Morocco after being released from prison. His lawyer in Germany says he only has weeks to live.

Hewlett has now provided cops with a DNA sample which will be compared to evidence from 1975.

[ NOTE: Hewlett was eliminated from the Molseed investigation based on the claim by the police that his DNA did not match the DNA found on Lesley Molseed's clothing. They were, therefore, already in possession of Hewlett's DNA. ]

Hewlett has viewed Ireland as a safe haven for years and has taken refuge here many times. He fled here after sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl in the 1980s but was brought back to Britain to face trial. After he was released he returned in 1993, living in a commune in County Donegal. But the sicko was eventually asked to leave by worried parents.

Paedophile Raymond Hewlett has issued a brazen demand to be paid thousands of pounds to answer questions about the night Madeleine McCann went missing. The child molester refused to speak to detectives hired by Kate and Gerry McCann unless they gave him a vast slice of the Madeleine Fund. Hewlett, 62, who has a lifelong history of sexually abusing little girls, was in the Algarve when the three-year-old was snatched from her bed. He is now in hospital in Germany recovering from throat cancer surgery, and has so far rebuffed efforts by the McCanns' investigators to interview him.

Man wanted for Madeleine McCann disappearance linked to Prestwich indecent assault

0 comments 6/01/2009 Posted by Winnower

1 June 2009
Bury Times

A CONVICTED paedophile, wanted in connection with the disappearance of Madeleine McCann, is also being linked to the indecent assault of a young girl in Prestwich nearly 35 years ago.

West Yorkshire Police have confirmed they want to speak with Raymond Hewlett about an incident in the town in 1975.

The 64-year-old, who is currently in hospital in Germany, has been jailed several times for sexual offences against young girls.

Retired police investigating Madeleine’s disappearance have also said they wish to speak to Hewlett, who was staying near Praia da Luz, in Portugal, when the three-year-old went missing in April 2007.

Hewlett has denied having any involvement in Madeleine's disappearance but has said he will speak to the McCanns' private detectives.

The former soldier, who previously lived in Blackpool and Telford, is reportedly being treated for throat cancer in Aachen, Germany.

He was jailed several times in the UK for sexually assaulting young girls, including an attack in 1978 where he put a gun to his victim's back.

In 1988 he also kidnapped and indecently assaulted a 14-year-old girl in Mold, North Wales.

He was questioned over the 1975 murder of 11-year-old Lesley Molseed but another man was eventually convicted of the crime in 2007.

A spokesman for the McCann family said investigators were pleased Hewlett had agreed to speak to them.
