It should be noted that many of the photographs of Raymond Hewlett which appeared in the Press were taken prior to the disappearance of Madeleine McCann on 3 May 2007. You could be forgiven for thinking that Hewlett was much younger than he actually was.
The Raymond Hewlett who arrived in Morocco some weeks after Madeleine disappeared was somewhat different to those earlier images.
The image below was taken by Peter Verran in the summer of 2007 so we can vouch for its authenticity. It shows a much older, Hewlett, not at all like those images which were to appear in the Press some years later when he became a suspect and was terminally ill as a result of throat cancer.
It should also be remembered that Hewletts only mode of transport was his large blue Dodge lorry which also doubled as a home for him, his wife and six children. Not exactly the sort of vehicle one would take on an abduction mission and not be noticed.
