Segundo as investigações, o suspeito estaria em Praia da Luz, em Portugal, na noite em que Madeleine desapareceu.
Segundo o investigador, o alemão teria dois carros alugados em seu nome naquele dia: uma van Volkswagen e um Jaguar anos 1990. As investigações mostram que ele vivia na van nos dias que esteve em Portugal e que ou o Jaguar para outra pessoa um dia depois do desaparecimento de Madeleine.

A polícia britânica também pede para o público informações sobre duas linhas de celular, ambas com código DDI de Portugal. Uma delas seria do suspeito e teria sido usada cerca de uma hora antes do crime e a outra é a que fez a ligação. Veja o vídeo abaixo.
Os investigadores do Reino Unido disseram à imprensa que ainda tratam o caso como um desaparecimento. A polícia alemã, que procura pelo suspeito, que teria outras condenações anteriores, trata o caso como assassinato.
