You can stop right there.
"Numerous press reports" have claimed the following were responsible -
M......
Hewlett
Euclides
Posh Spice
Gypsies
3 burglars
cleaners
apartment managers
pimpleman
eggman
tannerman
dark eyeglass starey man
furthermore, Euclides was already deceased by 2010 so are we talking a phantom offender?
Indeed, it would fit the "facts" - an undisturbed bed, materialising out of nowhere, becoming invisible when Gerry was about, leaving no traces physically or otherwise of his crimes -
Yes, it was Euclides Ghost who took Madeleine!
Numerous press reports say it is so!

I am at a loss as to why I should "stop right there" as there is a real problem concerning unattributed leaks to the press which have blighted the Madeleine McCann inquiry right from the word go.
IMO the lessons have not been learned from the reporting debacle of 2007 which continues to influence perceptions to the present day.
The press reports linking Euclides Monteiro to the Madeleine McCann case appear to have their genesis in leaks from a “source close to the PJ”, which have been printed first in the Portuguese press, then picked up by media world wide.
“The unnamed man, who died aged 40 in a tractor accident in 2009, may have been motivated by revenge after being sacked by the hotel resort, Portugal’s Correio da Manha newspaper said, citing police sources.”

He spent hours with an officer looking at pictures and videos. Investigators could then find no other evidence linking the identified man to the girl’s disappearance. However, according to Portuguese files, officers asked British police to put more questions to this man – a full year after Madeleine vanished. Mario was 80% convinced he was the man he saw but admits he could not be sure and now six years have passed.

• BRITISH detectives are to return to Spain to investigate a possible gypsy link in the disappearance of Maddie McCann. A team from Scotland Yard have already spent three days looking into claims that the youngster was smuggled into Spain and taken to Barcelona.
They met with both Spain’s UDYCO organised crime unit and detective Dave Edgar, who has spent years investigating the Spanish claims. Now they are reported to be returning to investigate the theory that she was snatched by a child kidnap gang run by gypsies.
Portuguese police have already investigated a report by holidaymaker Andre van Wyk that he had seen a girl resembling Madeleine being taken in a cart to a gypsy camp near Portimao, about 16kms from where Maddie disappeared.
Days later a British holidaymaker Jean Godwin saw a girl – ’100 per cent Madeleine’ – being dragged around by ‘gypsy women’ 35kms away. Her information was followed up by both detective Edgar working for the McCann’s and Portuguese police, but nothing was ever conclusive.
The latest development is part of an
on-going ‘investigative review’ into the girl’s disappearance in Portugal in 2007, ordered by Prime Minister David Cameron last year. Last week, the McCann’s spokesman Clarence Mitchell said: “Kate and Gerry welcome the on-going work by the Metropolitan Police and they are pleased that the investigative review is making progress.”
http://www.theolivepress.es/spain-news/2011/12/13/gypsy-link-to-maddie/Details of the evidence are contained in a 2,000-page police dossier finally published by the Portuguese authorities after requests from newspapers including the Daily Mail. It contains the testimony of Mrs Godwin, who claims she spotted Madeleine in September 2008.
She said: ‘This was a young girl, in the middle of the two women and holding the hand of each. Her eyes were wide open and my attention was drawn to the large irises. ‘The child was wearing what was clearly a black wig. It was short, cut in a bob style and very thick. The wig was shiny and unnatural looking and out of keeping with her very pale complexion and fair eyebrows. ‘I would say she was about 3ft 1in tall and about five years of age. She was very thin and I would describe her as malnourished. Her cheeks looked gaunt. I think she had a bump on her nose. 'I am convinced that the little girl I saw that morning was Madeleine.
I have been asked how certain I am. I will say I am 100 per cent sure.

Burglars Police are also pursuing links to a sharp rise in burglaries in the area, and bogus charity workers approaching individuals on the resort

Cleaners Now, six years after Madeleine disappeared, the laundryman has urged British detectives to speak to him. Mario believes the man he saw the night before three-year-old Madeleine disappeared in May 2007 should be on Scotland Yard’s list too.
The divorced dad, who said he has always felt “uncomfortable” about the Portuguese police inquiry, spoke out after the Daily Mirror tracked him down at his home in the Algarve this week.
He also believes he may be one of 12 manual workers and cleaners Scotland Yard detectives have identified as “people of interest”.

IMO they haven't been 'dreamed up' for the sake of it, but were a genuine attempt by witness and artist to portray the people seen, and as such should not be dismissed in an offhand manner.
