Expat Ken Ralphs said that Christian B, the German drifter suspected of abducting Madeleine, tried to recruit a mutual friend to help find a youngster to sell to a childless couple.
A plot to kidnap a child was being hatched in a Portuguese holiday resort a week before Madeleine McCann vanished there, Sky News has been told. Mr Ralphs, a former UK political campaigner, said Christian B made the offer to the man who was penniless and living in a tent in a remote part of the Algarve coast. Mr Ralphs, 59, said: 'We were sitting around the fire one night after a meal, we had a few beers and during the early hours of the morning my friend began to cry.
Mr Ralphs was interviewed by Portuguese detectives, though he still doesn't know what part his evidence has played in the investigation. He said: 'They told me someone had made contact with my friend abroad and he had denied knowing me, but I have a dozen witnesses who will say that he's lying. I guess he just didn't want to be interviewed by police.
