THE Portuguese TV reporter who broke the story of the new Madeleine searches believes prime suspect Christian B had an accomplice, we can reveal.
Sandra Felgueiras, who works on Sexta 9, told how cops were led to the wells after recognising a stretch of beach near Vila do Bispo where Christian B’s VW camper van had been pictured.
And she said: “My hunch is Christian B had an accomplice and was working with someone the night Maddie was taken.
“The obvious key is to find them.”
She added: “The German police are convinced Maddie is dead.
“The wells they searched contain lime. That substance can quickly dissolve a body.
“They didn’t find anything but it was a logical place to search because the photos of his van on the beach are a short distance away.”
She also revealed Christian B was suspected of being involved in the disappearance of a girl of 16 from near Foral — close to Praia da Luz where Madeleine vanished — where he lived in 2008.
The girl was later found and no action was taken against him but mystery remained over what happened.
Sandra also said she felt “lied to” by her police sources who pedalled the discredited theory that Madeleine’s parents Kate and Gerry were involved in her abduction.
