COPS investigating the Madeleine McCann case are trying to trace six British cleaners working in Portugal when she disappeared.
The group were based in Praia da Luz when Madeleine, then just three, vanished from her family?s holiday complex in 2007.
A property owner has told how cops probing the disappearance asked four times about the cleaners.
Officers became aware of the six to eight Brit workers ? who are said to have used a white van ? after poring through evidence amassed during the original Portuguese investigation.
They are now asking for information about the group from owners whose properties overlook the Praia da Luz apartment where Madeleine stayed.
It is the first time the cleaners have been mentioned during any investigations into the three-year old?s disappearance.

Mystery vehicle
WITNESSES have mentioned a white van before in the Madeleine case ? most recently in 2010.
Carlos Moreira, 65, said he saw her lying in the back of a van near the spot where she vanished.
He told investigators he had seen a couple who looked like gypsies near the vehicle.
Operation Grange was set up by PM David Cameron following pleas from Madeleine?s family, who live in Rothley, Leics.
A Met Police spokesman said speaking to individuals was part of its review, adding: ?Officers are reviewing all of the material in relation to the disappearance of Madeleine McCann. This is routine procedure as part of the ongoing review.?
