A mother of a missing 3-year-old British girl, Madeleine McCann, is about to be named a suspect in her disappearance.
Kate McCann was questioned for almost 11 hours on Thursday, and is due back at a police station in Portimao, a town in Portugal's Algarve region, later Friday morning, family spokesman David Hughes told The Associated Press.
When asked about reports that Kate McCann would be named a suspect in her daughter's disappearance, Hughes said: "They told her last night that it would happen today. That's definite."
Poor kid.
Based on the slow pace of the investigation and the fact that small flecks of blood evidence were initially overlooked, it's hard to judge from this distance whether there are ample grounds for treating the mother as a suspect or not.
This article says DNA of a suspect was found in the apartment in Portugal where Madeleine was last seen, in an area where the suspect should not have been.
