Police have put forward the portrait of a man whom they believe to be the abductor of Madeleine Mccann. The girl disappeared 6 years ago during a family trip to Portugal.

Crimewatcher is airing a reconstruction video of Mccann's disappearance tonight, and detectives have released an image of the man suspected of her kidnapping.

The man in the image above was seen in Praia da Luz on the night the girl went missing. He is believed to be a Caucasian German native, 20 to 40 years old.

According to the Daily Mail, he has short brown hair and he is of medium height and build. Officials are convinced that finding the man is of "vital importance" to the investigation, and they are asking the public for help in locating him.
