[Holmes:] Welcome back. In the United Kingdom, police are holding out new hope for leads in the disappearance of Madeleine McCann, you probably remember her, the little 3-year-old British girl who went missing in May 2007 while vacationing with her parents in Portugal. She would be 10 years old now. Police releasing two computer generated sketches of a man spotted near the resort where the little girl was last seen. Eric McLaughlin is in London. Erin, what do we know about this man? Who spotted him and what his connection or nonconnection could be?
[Eric Mclaughlin, Cnn Correspondent:] Hi, Michael. This a man seen by two witnesses around the time of Madeleine McCann's disappearance. He was seen walking away from the McCanns' apartment carrying a small child of 3 to 4 years old. Witnesses describe him as a white male between 20 to 40 years old, medium stature with short brown hair. Now police acknowledge that this could have been a completely innocent sighting but they really want to know more information about this individual. Michael?
[Holmes:] You know, I remember initially Madeleine's parents were considered possible or potential suspects. They're now totally cleared, aren't they?
[Mclaughlin:] Absolutely. Police are saying the parents are not a focus of this investigation. They believe that Madeleine McCann was abducted from her holiday apartment during the night. She was abducted they say while her parents were at a nearby restaurant having dinner with friends. And they have ruled out a theory that she could have somehow wandered out of the apartment and been kidnapped outside of this holiday complex. They believe that the kidnapping had happened inside the McCanns' apartment, Michael.
[Holmes:] Certainly an incredibly one of those cases that's captured the public imagination. So many kids go missing every year. This one has sort of really gripped people. Erin, keep an eye for us, Erin McLaughlin there in London. Thanks so much. Thanks to you for watching AROUND THE WORLD today. Appreciate your company. I'm Michael Holmes. Be back tomorrow. Meanwhile, "CNN NEWSROOM" with Wolf Blitzer starts right after this.
