A deathbed confession from a British paedophile could shed new light on the disappearance of Madeleine McCann.

Raymond Hewlett, who died in April, wrote to his son saying Madeleine was abducted by a gypsy gang from the McCann's flat in Portugal in 2007.

Hewlett claims she was stolen by the group who kidnap children for wealthy couples unable to have children or adopt.

The 62-year-old died of throat cancer sufferer and had been a suspect in Madeleine's disappearance.

If the investigators doubt the abduction theory after getting all their informations, there is no doubt what the truth really is.

Im 12 and i belive this is true. I was only 8 when this happended and only till tomight this story has hit me . Whoever did this needs to give her back to her family,her real family. i beilive she did get thken by these people and that apparently they force them to work. In my opionion i dont think that is right , the pain and hurt this has cause her family and herself is not worth taking some little child and working them to despear. I just want her to be found and cared for by her real family so they can be happy and she can be happy once aggain.

i believe the dogs verdict as they have never sniffed wrong before and because tapas 9 all changed stories and had secret meeting ,would only apologise if my opinion was wrong but the way they are so arragant and laughed on camera further makes me find it hard to believe them all,plus the fact some of the directors have rsigned from find madeleine fund one a boss doctor at the hospital in Leiceter and Gerry's brother too has rsigned the fund...Could thet be guilty conscience on having made monies by deceptions?Those guilty know who they are if I am wrong but in every other case that has come to light my gut instincts have always reached the right culprit and conclusion of a crime.I could be wrong but why did they never personally look for her and expect everyone else to buy merchandise from an online shop and look when they never did that.?
