The case against the parents of Madeleine McCann appeared to be crumbling after the couple were told there were no plans to reinterview them.
A prosecutor parachuted in by Portugal's attorney general to oversee the case also revealed on Wednesday night that Gerry and Kate McCann may not be the only line of inquiry.
The statement from Luis Bilro Verao, a prosecutor recently brought in from Portugal's Evora area to handle the case, said that no new evidence had emerged in the fortnight since they were declared "arguidos", or official suspects, to justify calling them for new interviews at present.
The announcement came amid speculation that Portuguese detectives had been poised to travel to the UK with a list of fresh questions for the couple to answer over the disappearance of their daughter from their rented apartment in Praia Da Luz on May 3.
While they remain arguidos, they have now been informed that other lines of inquiry are not to be ruled out by detectives.
