The four-month global search for missing British toddler Madeleine McCann took a dramatic twist on Friday when the girl's mother, Kate, was formally named a suspect by Portuguese police.
The development followed renewed lengthy questioning by police in Portimao, southern Portugal, of Kate McCann, a 39-year-old doctor.
Her husband, Gerry, who was being questioned separately, was also expected to be named a suspect, or "arguido."
Reports said Portuguese police were working on fresh evidence from forensic tests in Britain of samples taken from the family's holiday apartment in nearby Praia da Luz, as well as traces of blood found in a car the McCann's hired 25 days after Madeleine disappeared.

Parents are more likely to harm or kill their children than any stranger.
