VIANA DO CASTELO, Portugal - The mother of a British girl who disappeared four months ago in southern Portugal is to be named a formal suspect in the case Friday, a family spokesman said, a shocking twist to a case that has gripped much of Europe.

Kate McCann was questioned for almost 11 hours on Thursday, and is due back at a police station in Portimao, a town in Portugal's Algarve region, later Friday morning, family spokesman David Hughes told The Associated Press.

When asked about reports that Kate McCann would be named a suspect in her daughter's disappearance, Hughes said: "They told her last night that it would happen today. That's definite."

The Portuguese Police have made such a Cock Up of this Investigation that they are now looking for a Scapegoat. The whole matter has been handled in a very unprofessional way from the start and I feel sorry for the McCann Family who have gone through such a difficult time and are now subjected to this.

The really sad part is that many times it does turn out to be the parents, so I never know what to believe anymore.

I read they found the girls blood in the hotel room and in the car that the parents had, and they offered the mother a deal if she would confess but she turned them down.
