Kate McCann went to see a boat she believes was used in the abduction of their daughter, the Sunday Express can reveal today. Just a few days after Madeleine was snatched from the family's holiday apartment, a family friend had a "strong vision" that the child was on a boat moored in a nearby marina. Kate went to Lagos marina, a few miles along the coast from Praia da Luz where her daughter vanished on May 3, 2007, and photographed the boat and the man on board, a hand-written note in police files reveals.

Dying Hewlett is ruled out by detectives

Child sex beast Raymond Hewlett has been ruled out as a suspect in the Madeleine McCann case. But we can reveal investigators working for Maddie's parents are still looking at other British sex offenders. Top of the list is a paedophile who was living on the Algarve around the time she disappeared. Others were staying near the Praia da Luz resort she vanished from. A "local" Portuguese man is also being considered. A source said: "There were still a number of names put forward that are being looked at."

McCann detectives criticise pervert's lawyer

15 June 2009
Leicester Mercury

Detectives hunting for missing Madeleine McCann have criticised a lawyer acting for a convicted paedophile they want to question. Pervert Raymond Hewlett, who is not a suspect but has been jailed three times for assaulting young girls, spoke instead to the Sunday Mirror. He said: "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." He also claimed to have an alibi for the day Madeleine vanished - but refused to say what it was.

Maddie search inquiry setback

11 June 2009
Daily Post

Final attempts by private detectives searching for Madeleine McCann to interview a convicted British paedophile about her disappearance failed last night. Retired UK policemen Dave Edgar and Arthur Cowley flew to Germany yesterday hoping to speak to Raymond Hewlett, who is said to have been staying an hour's drive from the McCanns' Portuguese holiday flat when the little girl vanished. But negotiations between the private investigators and Hewlett's German lawyer broke down.

Mr Edgar, who has been employed by Madeleine's parents, Liverpool-born Kate and Gerry McCann to look for their daughter, said he was "very disappointed" with the lawyer's behaviour. He went on: "I have been attempting to speak with Raymond Hewlett to eliminate him from our investigation into the disappearance of Madeleine McCann. "He is not a suspect but I was keen to interview him."

Paedophile Raymond Hewlett demands thousands to answer Maddie questions

4th June 2009
Daily Mail

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.
