Was she taken by this Mystery Man?

Other clues began to pop up while probing for clues and other details during the investigation. Aside from their friend Jane, there was supposedly another sighting of a different man carrying a little girl who looked like she was about the same age as Madeleine, wearing similar floral pajamas. The Irish couple, Mary, and Martin Smith, who were also on vacation there at the time, reported to having seen a man with a small build, between the height of 5’7” to 5’9”, and with short brown hair. They had also said that they had seen him around 10 p.m., which was around the time that Kate had found her daughter missing.

He may not have been the only one

Although he had nothing to do with the couple on the trip, Rober Murat was a British-Portuguese national who was living in Praia de Luz at the same time when Madeleine McCann vanished. During the time of the investigation, he was named as one of the first possible suspects due to his enthusiastic curiosity over the case of the missing little British girl. A journalist had said that he kept asking questions about the case, seemingly overzealous over the entire incident. His car, house and even his pool was drained and searched in the process, and sadly for the family, no evidence appeared that he had anything to do with Madeleine going missing.
