Gerry McCann 'came close to Madeleine's abductor'

Madeleine McCann’s father believes he might have come within a few yards of his daughter’s abductor when he saw her for the last time, a friend said today.

Gerry McCann has become convinced an intruder was already hiding inside the family’s holiday flat when he left his meal to go back and check on his children on the night of Madeleine’s disappearance.
