German prosecutors sensationally revealed yesterday they believe Madeleine is dead and know how she was killed - despite no body being found.
The suspect has not been named by British cops but has been unmasked as Christian B - a "sexual predator" who abused young girls and rapist banged up for attacking a 72-year-old tourist in Portugal.
The suspect, who we cannot legally name in full, was first thrust into the frame in 2017 after allegedly confessing to abducting Madeleine in a bar.
He was reportedly chatting to the friend in Germany when a TV report came on about the tenth anniversary of the girl's disappearance and he suggested he knew what had happened to her.
Christian B then allegedly showed a video of himself raping a 72-year-old tourist in Portugal in 2005, which he was later convicted and jailed for eight years over.
A number of potential links have since arisen - including an alleged conversation about Madeleine in a chatroom before police began honing in on him in 2013.
It is not clear if it is the same chat as the one where he divulged his kidnapping fantasies.
Among the growing body of facts linking him to Madeleine's disappearance is he was revealed to be living in a campervan in Praia da Luz in Portugal around the time the youngster vanished on May 3, 2007.
He also took a mysterious 30-minute phonecall just one hour before the disappearance and had also rented two homes in Portugal just miles from the Ocean Club where Madeleine was staying.
Christian B - born in Germany in 1976 before moving to Portugal in his late teens - has a list of convictions for sexual abuse against children, drug offences and rape.
Hans Christian Wolters, a spokesman for the Braunschweig Public Prosecutor's Office, said today: "With the suspect, we are talking about a sexual predator who has already been convicted of crimes against little girls and he's already serving a long sentence."
It has since been claimed Christian B could become eligible for parole on Sunday and potentially released from prison.
A German newspaper yesterday suggested Christian B could get parole after having served two-thirds of his current 21-month drug sentence.
If the Federal Court of Justice in Germany decide to grant him parole then he would be eligible for freedom in just days.
Christian B has a total of 17 convictions, according to .
Police in Germany fear the drifter, who stole from hotels in Praia da Luz, may have snatched Madeleine after first entering the holiday home to raid it.
As well as the campervan, the drug dealer and burglar also been linked to a 1993 Jaguar XJR6 with a German number plate seen in Praia da Luz and surrounding areas in 2006 and 2007.
On May 4, 2007 - the day after Madeleine vanished - he got the Jaguar re-registered in Germany under someone else's name although it is believed the vehicle remained in Portugal.
