Hello gerri or......
I don't know if you are gerri or a policeofficer or a spokesman of the family.
But i can tell you that i really know these people because i grew up with them.
I am close with them but after the date of kidnapping we met once and they said that we can't have contact cause of the case.I know the hideout, name,address,everything of the kidnappers.
I will be honest to you and the whole team of investigators.
I want a reward and that will be in total 2.000.000 Euro ( 2 mill.Euro).
From this reward I want an advance of 500.000 Euro ( 500K ).
This advance you must bring to me in Holland by yourself and you have to give it to someone i will tell yo later. After receiving this amount the same day i will send you all details of the hideout of the kidnappers. They keep her there.
The rest of the amount i want the day that you get your child/kidnappers.
The longer you wait with this they will change maybe from location and then i can't help you anymore. You must know that i am a crook too but i only do this for the money.

If you agree then send me your mobilenr.

Subject: Voice Mail Message

Given the Service Information received by this police station, on this date, I began external activities in regards to the person in 'possession' of the message.

I went to the installations of the Millenium Restaurant, where I contacted Mrs. Paul Cristina da Costa Vieira, the person who has already given a statement to this investigation (Volume III, page 794).

Firstly I listened to the message and noticed that the recording was of poor quality and some 'manoeuvres' had been made as to hide the identification of the caller.

It was possible to verify that the person did not possess the 'identification' of the number that was sent.

It was ensured that the message be kept until tomorrow, the time limit for the operator as well as the possibility of recording the message by technical means.

From: Ricardo Paiva

Subject: Emails about the whereabouts of Madeleine McCann

I compliance with your instructions, during the course of last week, the undersigned officer went to Praia da Luz to offer support and to accompany the couple Gerry and Kate McCann, parents of missing Madeleine McCann, following various emails received by the couple during the last two weeks coming from Holland, sent from the email address AMSTERDAMVU@gnail.com
reporting supposed information about the whereabouts of the girl as well as about the identity and location of the abductors and referring that the author was prepared to provide this information in exchange for a large financial compensation.

The stress and anxiety of the McCann couple was visible and notable with regard to the situation, they replied quickly to the emails, which, from the beginning they believed to be genuine, given the fact that Gerry had lived in Holland and because of this the couple attributed greater importance to the emails, both expressing their conviction that the information in the emails would certainly help them to get their daughter back, even if it where necessary to spend the sum of 2 million euros demanded by the author in exchange for information about Madeleine McCann's whereabouts.

I bring this to your attention.

[b] Subject: Anonymous Phone Call




Today at 10.05 this police station received a telephone communication from an individual who appeared to be female, judging by the voice and who did not want to identity herself, giving the following information.

On 25-04-2007, the individual saw the English couple, the parents of Madeleine who was abducted in the Algarve in a cafe in Ourem. The individual says that she is absolutely certain that it was the couple in question as she had the opportunity to observe then well. She says that the girl's mother was dress in the way she had seen her on television, wearing white trousers and a pink shirt. Madeleine stayed in the doorway of the cafe and the individual says that a man, whom she cannot describe, was observing Madeleine.

On the Saturday following the abduction 05-05-2007 the individual saw Madeleine again in Ourem, in the street, calling 'Mummy'. A man who was with her and who was not the father, picked her up and the girl became quiet. There was another man with him and two women. Concerning their descriptions she can only say that one of the women had blond hair and was of medium build and that the other had long hair. The latter was a kind of 'gypsy'. Madeleine was wearing a skirt with folds. The second man was tall.

Subject: Disappearance of Madeleine McCann

 

 

I inform you that on this date at about 20.30 a phonecall was received from number 23 *****, from an anonymous individual, with a Brazilian accent, who said he was calling from Vouzela.

 

He informed us that on 7th May 2007, at about 17/18.00 he saw a dark blue Fiat car, a two seater, with its canvas top slightly open, he does not know the number plate, heading for the Vouzela pools.

 

The driver appeared to be looking for road signs to a place or location.

 

Inside the car, as well as the driver, whom he would describe as being about 1.70m tall, middle aged, with short but sticking up hair, brown complexion, was a blonde girl, who was lying down (asleep) on the seat next to the driver.

 

He found it strange as normally children do not travel in the front seat and the girl was asleep, lying down.

 

In his opinion, the driver of the car was looking for a camping site.

I inform you that today, at about 13:50, I received a phone call from a female individual, of Portuguese nationality, who did not want to identify herself.

 

She said that on 11th May 2007, at about 18:00 she saw a motor caravan with number plate VR-LV-72 driving about in Lobios-Geres.

 

Inside, on the passenger seat was a girl who was very similar to Madeleine in all respects, the driver of the vehicle was aged about 35-40, about 1.75-1.80m tall, with short very light brown hair and well built.

 

She says that given the proximity of the Spanish border, the motor caravan must have been heading for Spain.

 

It was not possible to identify the caller’s number, which appeared to have been blocked by her.

The little girl is in Morocco in a town called Beni Mellal, which is about 100 km from Marrakesh, with a non-Moroccan man (tourist).

I saw them at a Beni Mellal monument.

He has a Mercedes 190 car.

If you want more information phone ***************** and come with 500000$ for him who will lead you to her.

I swear this is no joke.

I work and have no time for jokes.

You have another choice and that is not to come and never to see poor little Madeleine again.
