The man was seen in Praia da Luz the night 4-year-old Madeleine McCann disappeared nearly a month ago from an apartment where her family was on vacation. Madeleine and her two siblings were alone in the apartment while her parents dined nearby and checked on them regularly, police said.

"For us it really wasn't very much different from having dinner in your garden," said Madeleine's father, Gerry McCann. Nonetheless, McCann said the guilt he and his wife feel will never leave them.
