Text:

As a continuation from our message dated 21-09-07 about the disappearance in Portugal of the young girl Madeleine McCann, N/12-05-03, we inform you about the following:

Clara Torres Garcia has informed our Albacete offices that she has some photos that she took last August in Morocco and that in one of them a blonde girl can be observed, who could be the missing girl. She handed over a CD containing these photos and has told us the following:

Last August she was making a tourist trip in Morocco, accompanied by her husband. They were driving south of the city of Tangier, specifically between the cities of Chefchaouen and Ceuta and when they were driving along a road between Zinat and Tetouan, they observed a group of persons, a woman carrying a girl on her back who strongly resembled Madeleine.

Dear Gerry,

I have spoken to the Lawyer in Spain, Mr Navarro. His client, who does not wish to give her name, does not speak English, but her obtained some information for me at my request.

I understand the position was that she was travelling in Morocco by car, sitting in the front passenger seat and taking photographs randomly. It was August 31st at about 9:40 am local time (11:40 in Spain)

She was between Chef-Chaomen and Peponan close to Zimat in Morocco.



26-09-2007



Page 2778 (Page 2 of 4 )


She took this photograph, did not see any other Europeans walking and looked back at the child because it was strange.

Yesterday (24th September) she read in a newspaper about a possible sighting in Morocco and remembered what she had seen.
She then downloaded her photograph and found this one.

This morning, with her Lawyer, she went to the British Consulate and I think the Lawyer gave some information to him.

He tells me that somehow the media have got hold of this and she is now shaken. They do not know how. The media are running the story in Spain but with no photograph but he is clearly worried that this somehow will come out.

I got on extremely well with the Lawyer who clearly would like to help and relay information. I have his contact numbers.

I would be grateful if we could speak when convenient.

Regards

Michael

Dear Mr Caplan,

I am a Solicitor representing the person who took the picture with, presumably, Madeleine McCann in it.

I have been this morning in the British Consulate in Madrid talking to Mr Antonio Gavala, and I have passed to him a copy of the relevant picture, together with several more.

Although my clients have avoided the media, it seems that some of them in Spain are starting to give some news about the matter.

By the moment, I have received two phone-calls asking for an interview, but I have not replied yet.

I attach copy of the picture.

Please enlarge the old woman dressed in white carrying the blonde girl.

Please do not hesitate to contact me. Probably the mobile number (+34 630 9xxxxx) should be more useful as I will try to be out of the Office for a while.

Yours faithfully

Seguimundo Navarro

DC 550 Martin Newton

It is now difficult to remember the date when this event took place but I know that it was the Thursday before the Madeleine McCann case was featured on Crimewatch UK. (Note : This programme was broadcast on 5th June 2007)

I live in Silves Gare and in the morning I wait in the village for a bus that takes myself and my son to the school where I teach. Opposite the bus stop there is a building that has bars on all the bottom windows and on the door. This building used to be single story business premises (car sales). At least a year ago this business closed and the building was not used at all. Then, perhaps in January, builders started building an upper story on top. They got the shell built and then building stopped. It is quite common here for buildings to be left unfinished for months or years. I had seen no activity in this building for a long time.

That Thursday morning the door to the building was open and an estate car (possibly navy) was parked outside at right angles to the building with the back facing the road. A couple, who looked Portuguese, appeared to be loading things from the building into the back of the car. I noticed this but thought nothing of it. I did not watch everything that they did.

The next thing I realised was that the car had been reversed onto the road and was moving forward. In the back, looking out of the window on my side of the road, was a small blonde-haired girl. I could just see her face from the nose up. I was surprised to see a blonde girl in the car as the majority of Portuguese children are dark haired, even when young. As the car was moving forward at this point so I only saw her for a second and did not draw my son's attention to the incident.

I had no reason to think this was Madeleine, but thought I would watch to see if anyone was in the building over the next few days as I waited for my bus. There was no activity there on the Friday morning nor on the Monday that followed.

On the Monday morning I phoned the number that was given for th Portuguese Police. I spoke to a woman. She listened but did not even ask for the exact location of the building. She only took my name and home phone number at the end because I asked if she wanted them.



04-09-2007




Page 2784 (Page 2 of 2 )


I heard that the case was to feature on Crimewatch the following evening so I watched that programme and after the programme I contacted the number given. The approach of the person who took that call was quite different from that of the Portuguese Police.

In the week or so after this incident I did see some activity inside the building, mainly in the afternoon as we got off the bus on our way home. I pass this building from time to time, usually in my car, and it appears to be permanently locked up.

That's about it.

Dear Sir or Madam,

I was on holiday in Corsica last week. On Wednesday the 5th September my husband and I and our 14 month old came back from a day trip in Calvi to L'ile Rousse (near where we were staying) on the fast train at 4.10.

We were unable to contact my mother to pick us up at L'ile Rousse Station, so walked into L'ile Rousse. My husband went to a cafe to meet my dad and I too my son Axxx to the playground. I think there is only one in L'ile Rousse centre.

In the playground there was a little girl who was with an older couple, probably her grandparents I thought at the time. I didn't really look carefully at the woman, though she was probably in her late fiftys with permed grey hair. I remember the man better, he was tall, about 60, thick-set, dark grey hair, olive skinned.

This little girl looked like Madeleine McCann, about 4 yrs old, with the same hair, similar face etc. So I looked at her eyes, and she had on the right eye a defect in the iris, a darker green area, something a bit unusual colouring in the left also. At the time I thought Madeleine had a pupil defect and so I discounted it.

The little girl was quite lively and running up the slide the wrong way, the 'grandfather' figure said something to her in French, he looked slightly exasperated with the active child. She responded also in French (though it could have been Corsican - I understand they are quite similar). This made me think that it could not be Madeleine because she seemed to speak French.

However when I got home, I was reading the papers and I realised that Madeleine's eye defect is not in the pupil, but in the iris, like the little girl I saw, and I also realised it has been 4 months since she went missing, so she could have picked up a bit of French/Corsican in that time.

Corsica I suppose is relatively low on British tourists. So an abductor might risk going to a playground ??

I am really sorry for not reporting this at the time. As I said, I discounted it for the reasons I explained.

I am a GP, so I did look (fairly) carefully at the girl's eyes. In so much as one can when dealing with......

Subject : Madelene(sic)


Good evening.

My name is Manfred Janson. I am Norwegian and have a summerhouse in Salema, Urbanicao Lematur 52.
I am down here for my annual summer holiday.

Friday on the 7th September I went for a walk to the Figueira Beach together with my wife and some friends.
On our way back entering into Figueira I spotted a small car type Cliof C3 or similar - dark coloured with registration no 'xx xx xx'.
The driver was a young man of abt(sic) 30 years of age and in the back seat was a little girl who reminded me very much of the missing Madelene. He drove into Figueira by the bus stop and parked the car, but only for a second or two, then backed out again and stopped outside a house. I thought he would park there. He looked around and turned to say something to the little girl in the back seat and suddenly he just drove away the same way as he had arrived.
The sun was up and the car's windows were a bit dark so I could not see the girl very well and only for a few seconds.
I thought it a bit odd, and made a note of the car's registration number. The others saw nothing and I have not told anyone about my experience.

I do not want to create any unnecessary activity in this terrible case, but I have not been able to rest at ease after this, which is why I called you tonight. I assume it will be very easy for you to find out about this car, and most likely it will prove to be a complete innocent activity by a young father and his daughter.

At first I decided to forget it and consider it just a trick of the mind, but I cannot just leave it, and even if it is probably just nothing - I will relax more having informed you.

Under any circumstances I wish you good luck in your very difficult work.

Sincerely yours,

Manfred Janson

Subject : TIP-OFF REGARDING MADELEINE MCCANN - POSSIBLY SPOTTED IN NORWAY

Today, Interpol Oslo received a tip-off regarding Madeleine McCann. She was possibly observed at the cafe 'Slobrua Gjesttegaard' in Skarnes, Norway, on Monday 10th September 2007 at around 1615. Two men, around 35-37 years of age, nicely dressed, came to the cafe in the company of a girl whom the witness believes resembles Madeleine. According to the witness, the girl seemed to be around 4 years old. One of the men spoke Swedish, the other Norwegian.

The witness thought that the girl behaved in an "unusual" way.
She seemed to be very polite, and she sat quite still at the table and did not speak unless spoken to. The men spoke to her in English, and she replied in the same language. She did not seem to be afraid or worried.

The men drove a black VW Passat with Swedish license number 'xxxxxx'.

According to the Swedish Police, the license num ber is registered to 'Vxxxxxxxx, Rxxxxx Hxxx Oxx, date of birth : 080376, in Dalarna, Sweden.

Neither the persons nor the car are known to Police Records.

We hope this information may be useful to your investigation.

FOR POLICE/COURT USE ONLY

Best regards,

Interpol Oslo

Hello - My name is Christina Zettner and I live in the US. Since Madeleine disappeared I have been emailing her poster to many contacts throughout Europe
and North Africa (hotels, car rentals, ports, etc). I have been contacted by one of the people in Italy who received my email and poster. I have urged him to contact the Portuguese and UK POlice but in case he does not, I am forwarding his message to you. He refers to a previous message but I do not recall receiving one because of course, I would have forwarded it to the campaign. I am sending the full text of the email and the person's contact information. It sounds legitimate because the gentleman indicates he is a former Policeman with contacts on the Police Force. He also provides a telephone contact number and his email address is 'hostlebrindisi@xxxxxxx.com' . My contact information is Christina Zettner, 'xxxx' Axxxxx Dxxxx, Wxxx Cxxxxxx, Pennsylvania, US 19380 phone 484-80x-xxxx.

Email Text : Hi again, I wrote to you a few months ago and I am writing to reassure you that although the news seem to have forgotton about "little one" I haven't and I keep on looking and spreading the word. I have a picture in the hall of my hostel and one in the window of the van I use for customers transport. There's one thing I would like to inform you about. A few weeks ago, at one of the traffic lights in Brindisi (my city) I thought I saw a little girl, blond, definitely not Italian, about 1 metre tall. What got my attention was a "sad look" on her face (normally those children are shameless and invasive), she was just walking around between cars like beggars do, but not talking to anyone. There were a few adults , I think Romanians, in the area, begging as well, they were (i think pretending to be crippled in order to get the drivers to give some money). There was also a little boy about 8 or 9, the difference was that the boy looked like he belonged with them, the little girl didn't. If those people were the parents, the girl didn't look like she was the daughter of any of them. Since there have been a lot of them in the area, at first I didn't pay a lot of attention to it, but once I got back to the hostel and saw Madeleine's picture.... a horrendous thought came to my mind. I drove back to the same traffic light (with the intention of personally "hurt" any adult with that girl if I would have seen the birth mark in her eye and responded to English Language) but by the time I got back there they were all gone. I am a former Policeman, so of course I informed personally all my former colleagues (still in active duty) but although we've all been there often, there hasn't been any traces of those people ever since. I never until now wrote to you about this because I didn't want to sound like those people looking for fame that normally get in the way of investigations, at least until I would have had more reliable information. I am passing on what I know in case at the time of the abduction, there were similar individuals (Romanians and gypsies) in the area and also because Brindisi is a port mainly connected to Greece, Albania and Turkey (loads of Romanians travel by car to those countries), and there are a lot of bus direct lines to Romania, Bulgaria etc. I hope this information can be of some help. Don't hesitate to call me if you have any questions.

Subject : Madeleine McCann


Hello. I am only writing because I have a very bright 7 year old - she's bright and determined.

Since last week she has been talking about a girl in our local grocery store that looks like a missing girl.

Well, you know how this is you work, you pick up kids, you have a list a mile long and the young one is talking non-stop in the car about God knows what.

Today she says, "Mom they showed that girl again on tv that I saw in the store". My response is "What ?"

She goes on to explain... "Remember last week when I say that girl with blonde hair and big wyes in Baker's with that man with all the tatoos and she just kept smiling at me and then the dad (the man with tatoos) looked at me like he wanted to help me or thought I was lost - I think that's the girl".

Now, I am not trying to get anyone's hopes up and it is a huge long shot to think that Madeleine McCann is in Bellevue, NE, but my daughter, Gxxxxxx, who is 7 years old keeps talking about it. She even asked me to look it up so I could show her pictures and we went through several missing children and she said, "I think that is her", when I came to the widely publicized picture of Madeleine McCann.

Like I said, it's a long shot and highly unlikely, but as a mom I could not pass along the info. You know, the store has video cameras - you can check the past couple of weeks if need be - it's just a thought. Again, as a mom I would cling to anything so I had to pass this along.

God Bless

I saw a little girl today that looked like Madeleine at a McDonald's on 63rd Street in Woodridge, Il. She was with a man she called dad. This little girl did look like the man she was with. It probably was her father. Her eyes were definitely blue. I didn't get close enough to see if she had that amrk in her eye because I think the man noticed I was staring at her. I'm not sure but he either called the little girl Natalie or Madeleine. This was about between 12:20 to 2:00 today September 14. Again the little (girl) seemed will(sic)...(possibly meant "well")...comfortable with the man and obviously liked him. The little girl also did look like the man she called dad so it probably was her father.

(Translated from Spanish Language note) :

"Two floor house, split level living room, there is a stone chimney. Going up the stairs there is a bedroom with two beds, at the end of this room there is a door and inside it is where they have got the girl. She sleeps on the lower bunk of a bunk bed. She is sedated, she has scratches on her face and on her arm. In addition she has a puncture on her arm which appears to be where they administered the sedative. Sometimes her feet are bound.

The girl has blue boots.

The access to the house has a door and windows with glass on both sides. These windows do not open, they are fixed.
In the garage they have a Ford car, model Taurus or similar, light blue, number 'xxx-xxxx'.

During the summer I saw a French family with a small girl fitting Madalegne's(sic) description in central France, stopped in a lay-by. The family seemed uneasy and the older "parents" had dark hair as did a girl of about 10 who was with them. The younger girl had blonde hair and the older woman seemed to keep hold of her - she wasn't allowed to wander off at all.
For some reason I wrote down the number of the car - if you can investigate I will gladly send you the French car number. I am a teacher and I must admit that until I saw recent photos of Madalegne(sic) in the UK press I haven't thought any more about the incident.

STATEMENT OF WITNESS

STATEMENT OF: PATRICK HETHERINGTON

AGE OF WITNESS: OVER 18

I declare that this statement consisting of pages, each signed by me is true to the best of my knowledge and belief and I make it knowing that, if it is tendered in evidence at a preliminary enquiry or at the trial of any person, I shall be liable to prosecution if I have wilfully stated in it anything which I know to be false or do not believe to be true.

Signature of member by whom statement was recorded or received: S. Fleck

Signature of witness: P. Hetherington

Exactly seven days ago on 25th September 2007 at 10.20 A.M. when I was at an Information Centre in Montmartre opposite Basilica Sacré Coput in the city of Paris, France, I had just spent the week watching the Rugby World Cup. The reason I was in the Info Centre was to find out what bus would take me to Monet Gallery. There were quite a few people in the Information Centre at the time, approx twelve I think. I got the information I required and walked outside to get the bus. It was a clear bright morning and the sun was shining. Outside I did not know which side of the street the Nº 30 bus would stop.

I asked a man who walked past but he did not speak English. I noticed a woman and a child in a pram and I asked the little girl in the pram jokingly “Do you know what side the Nº 30 bus stops”. The little girl lifted her head up and I thought I’d seen this girl before saying to myself “I’ve seen that girl somewhere before”. I them said to the little girl, “Would your mummy know?”. She said something but I couldn’t understand or hear it but she seemed to understand what I was talking about. I would describe the woman as somebody who I would describe as a professional, like a doctor or solicitor. She was white, approximately 5’6”, medium to large build with blond hair tied neatly back in a ponytail. I saw this woman from a side profile only but would describe her face as long or sharp. I would say this woman was aged between 25-26 yrs old. She seemed to be deliberately trying to look away from me. She was wearing a dark brown ¾ length leather jacket and it looked of good quality. I did not see what she was wearing under the jacket. She was wearing loose fitting light blue jeans that stood out because they were such a bright light blue.

 I would describe the little girl as follows. Approximately 4 years old with shoulder length blond hair. I am not 100% sure about the colour of the eyes but I think they were dark in colour. She was white with pale skin and a pale face. She was wearing a dark grey coat which appeared to be wrapped around her inside the pram. It was a long sleeved coat and the coat was down over her feet so it was quite long. I noticed a pocket in the top part of the coat. I could not see what she was wearing underneath. I would describe the pram as follows. It had four wheels, the colour was like a rusty colour.

The handles came straight up and across the back, like you see on most prams. I was standing approximately four feet from the little girl and the woman. I was looking at them for approximately two-three minutes. This was a constant observation with no obstructions to my view. I had never seen these two people before. I also noticed that the little girl had a doll, a Barbie doll about 18 inches long and the little girl was holding it in her right hand. The doll did not have any clothing on it. I noticed several CCTV cameras in the area and I noticed one in particular at the Information Centre.

I was wearing a blue denim jacket and blue trousers with a blue pullover and yellow tie. I am approximately 5’7” years old with grey hair receding at the front. At 10.25 my bus arrived and I lost sight of the woman and the little girl. I then arrived back in Ireland the same day at approximately 11.00 P.M. On Tuesday 2nd October 2007 exactly seven days later at 12.00 I picked up an edition of the Mail on Sunday dated 30th September 2007. On the second or third page I saw a picture of Mrs McCann the mother of Madeleine McCann. It was at this stage that I remembered my encounter with the woman and the little girl in Paris. The little girl that I saw and spoke to that day in Paris I can 250% say it was Madeleine (sic) McCann. I definitely seen (sic) her. Like I say my encounter was seven days ago and I am now reporting it to the police after reading the paper today. It was definitely Madeleine McCann that I seen (sic) and spoke to.

IP Lisbon: Disappearance of Madeleine Beth McCann

(From Spanish)

TEXT:

We inform you that Malaga police received a phone call at about 17.00 hours on 26-09-07 from mobile nº **** from a Moroccan woman who had recently been on holiday in Morocco and who observed the minor Madeleine missing from Portugal and who wanted to provide more information.

Personal contact was taken up with the informant, who said that she had been on holiday in her country until 25-09-07 and that on the 21st at about 16.00 hours, when she was passing through Fnidk in Morocco (close to the border with Melilla) she observed a woman aged about 50 with a scarf on her head, who was leading a girl by the hand, who was wearing an orange shirt, had long blond hair and she noticed that she had the mark in the eye known to be that of the missing Madeleine.. She appeared to have a dummy hanging from her neck, a custom that is not practised in Morocco, recognising her without any doubt. She approached these persons, seeing the girl from a very close distance and when she got near to the woman the latter got into a Mercedes taxi and left the scene.

According to the informant, she also tried to get into the taxi, given that in Morocco this kind of taxi tends to transport several people at the same time. The woman with the girl told the taxi driver to leave the scene, not allowing the witness into the vehicle and that she only managed to get the taxi driver’s card.

That given the certainty that she had that the girl was the missing child she later phoned the taxi driver, who said that he had left both passengers in Housima, a village in the Rif close to Nador, in Morocco.

The taxi driver was apparently called S. Mohammed with mobile number ++++++.

This woman says she will collaborate in all that is necessary.

All of this was communicated to Interpol Rabat with the aim of carrying out all the necessary inquiries to locate the child and they will inform us of their result, as well as Interpol Lisbon, Interpol London and Interpol General Secretariat.

We thank you in advance for your collaboration.

I live at the above address with my wife J******* and have lived her for 31 years.

About 1614 hours on 28 August 2007 I was in Real Foods, 37 Broughton Street Edinburgh. I was alone throughout. I came out of Real Foods and turned left towards York Place. I noticed an adult female with a child either side walking towards me.

I can describe the adult female as well built, plumpish, late thirties, early forties about 5"1, white and younger child being held by hand of woman. The younger child was approximately 3 years old.

The young child to the right of the woman, suspected as Maddy, was approximately 4 years old and about 2"6 in height and taller than the other child. It was the hair on the elder child that drew my attention as it was very much like the image of the Moroccan child from the media, being wavy and just below the ear. The hair was quite fair. I managed to get a quick glance at the face, but noticed there was no red eye in the pupil.

They were then passed me and by the time I looked back I had walked about 20 metres and could not see them because there were people in the way.

I can recall the elder child was wearing a fair or white coat, I didn't notice a hood, but coat was padded and quite long, maybe mid-leg. I returned home and called the police about 1730 hours.

Subject: Fwd Statement re Madeleine McCann

About 12.40 hours on Friday 28th September 2007 the witness was seated on a wall waiting for a bus in Rosetta Road, Peebles, when she saw a male and a young female pass by on the footpath in front of her. She states they were walking hand in hand with the female on the male’s left. The two walked past the witness and turned into Kirkland Street, Peebles where they were lost from sight. The witness states that they appeared to know where they were going and were walking normally and seemed quite comfortable in each other’s company although they were not speaking. The witness observed the two for approx. One minute although is unable to give detailed descriptions.

There is no CCTV covering the immediate area and town centre. CCTV has been checked out although this is some distance from where the two were sighted with a negative result. A primary school and nursery are situated approx. 600-700 metres from where the sighting was made and at the material time children were being returned to them following lunch. Enquiries carried out at the school and nursery identified several young girls that matched the description given by the witness.

There are serious concerns regarding the reliability of the witness due to her age, admitting to taking tranquillisers following a breakdown several years ago and having mental health issues. It would appear that she is avidly following the case in the media and appears to be recalling the description of Madeleine when trying to describe the female seen at the material time. She also intimated that she did not like the Portuguese and has been praying to God for Madeleine’s return.

Submitted for your information. Hard copy of statement has been forwarded to Operation Task.

WITNESS STATEMENT

Statement of: Una Bruce Johnstone or MacDonald

Occupation of Witness: Retired

Address: Crossgate

This statement consisting of 3 pages, each signed by me, is true to the best of my knowledge and belief and I make it knowing that, if it is tendered in evidence, I shall be liable to prosecution if I have wilfully stated in it anything which I know to be false or do not believe to be true.

Dated the 16th day of October 2007.

I live at the stated address with my husband A. MacDonald. I am fully aware of the ongoing investigation into the missing child known as Madeleine McCann.

On 30th September 2007, my husband and I along with my brother and his wife departed from Edinburgh Airport for a twelve day holiday in Arroyo de la Miel, Benalnedena on the Costa del Sol.

On the morning of Wednesday 3rd October 2007, all four of us left our hotel, namely the Jupiter and went for a walk. About 11.00 hours, same date we were walking along the pavement on the opposite side of the road from the local Arroyo de la Miel train station, which I think is on either Aves station or Aves Construction (street name). About 200 yards past the train station my attention was drawn towards three young girls who were heading towards us on the same side of the roadway, they were accompanied by an elderly woman. The girls were skipping along hand in hand saying in English “Atishoo, Atishoo” as in the line from the nursery rhyme. The girls were laughing and in good spirits. I thought this was rather cute although didn’t pay it any more attention.

I was approximately 4-5 feet away from the girls as they passed by, the girl closest to me looked up, and I immediately thought that she looked like the girl Madeleine McCann. I stopped, turned round for a second to look at the girl but they just kept walking. The girl was of a similar age to Madeleine McCann and her face resembled that of Madeleine, although her hair was light brown in colour and shoulder length. The only thing that made me think it could be her, was the strong facial resemblance. I only had a fleeting glance at her face and could not see the documented distinguishing marks on her eye.

I commented to my husband, brother and his wife that I thought the girl looked like Madeleine McCann, and we continued to watch them in the hope that the girl would turn around again in order to confirm my suspicions. The girls continued to skip along and I lost sight of them as they merged with other pedestrians, the girl never looked back.

I didn’t feel comfortable approaching the girls or the woman as I was concerned at what their reactions might have been and if they would make any allegations against myself, if my suspicions were wrong. I would have needed to be 100% sure of what I had seen before I would attempt this.

The woman is described as being about 60 years of age, short grey combed back hair, British looking with a pale complexion, not tanned, approximately 5’12 tall, petite build. She was wearing a pale grey coloured skirt and a navy blue short sleeved T shirt. There is nothing else distinguishing about her.

The girl who I thought was Madeleine is described as being about 4 years old, light brown shoulder length hair, pale complexion, not tanned, clothing no further described. Striking resemblance facially to Madeleine but didn’t see distinguishing mark on her eye.

The girl next to her holding her hand was approximately 6 years old, about a head height taller than her, very blonde shoulder length, again pale complexion, not tanned, no further description.

I did not get a look at the third girl and can not describe her, although she was a similar age and height to the other two girls.

I am aware of the circumstances surrounding Madeleine McCann’s disappearance which was further brought to my attention, when on collecting my Euros prior to going on holiday, I was given a pamphlet as some sort of awareness campaign at the Post Office. The pamphlet had a picture of Madeleine McCann and contact phone numbers on it. Therefore when on holiday I was looking for any girls matching Madeleine’s age and description and I would have a close look at them and the possibility of identifying her. I didn’t actively go looking for her, but I was more vigilant than usual.

I didn’t have a camera with me at that time and therefore have no photos of the incident.

Signed.

My husband and I strongly believe we may have seen Madeleine with a man in a restaurant while on vacation in Mexico. At first we just had a weird feeling that the little girl at the table next to us didn’t belong with the man. The way she looked at us and her unmatching clothes and not being well groomed, and the fact that the man wouldn’t turn around and look at us directly even when we were non verbally corresponding with the little girl. When we got back to our hotel and caught a bit of the news, Madeleine’s picture came up and my husband and I both looked at each other with the same sinking feeling that she looked just like her except the picture looked a lot younger and we thought the little girl at the restaurant was about 4. When I got home and looked up her pictures and age etc. I feel even more strongly now that it was her. I’ve been trying to look at more pictures of missing little girls about her age and haven’t seen one yet that resembles her except Madeleine. I have more details however am not sure who to contact that will take this very serious (sic) and not leak it to the media so that the kidnapper has time to flee.

Very concerned mother myself.

1. The exact location of the sighting including any nearby buildings and whether you noticed any CCTV cameras nearby.

I doubt they have cameras – small town of San Felipe in Baja California Mexico on the Sea of Cortez, the restaurant – Bajamar on the main cruising ship – Mar de Cortez, right along the beach.

2. The day, date and time of the sighting.

Saturday the 6th between 5.00 and 6.30 PM (They were already at their table when we were seated next to them).

3. Details of clothing items that she was wearing.

Light green T shirt with a horse on it and a turquoise Mexican shirt with sequences and dirty thongs.

4. Description of the child including any distinctive marks, scars or other features.

She looked very much like the pictures, thin /avg 4 yr old size. Her eyes looked very dark from a distance but when she came around the table closer, I could see blue green colour, I didn’t notice the black line as it was a little dark and she probably wasn’t close enough. Her cute little nose matches the pictures exactly. Her hair fine blonde just like the photos – longer than the most recent photo – bangs were kind of covering her eyebrows. Her hair looked a little dirty and not shiny and brushed like if a woman was involved and her clothes didn’t match.

5. Circumstances of the sighting including anyone she was seen with, any vehicles and her demeanour.

Her staring into our eyes when we 1st saw her – I can’t explain the feeling my husband and I both got (almost like she recognised us or there was desperation.. She was busy, would walk around the table – the man kept telling her to sit down. At one point she seemed to be testing him while she watched us. The tables were outside right by the sidewalk, street and then beach and ocean. When she stood up by the railing looking towards the street, he nudged her with the chair and she sat down on it. He seemed very suspicious, not talking much, never turned around and looked at us even though we were smiling back and forth with the little girl. He looked a little older late 50’s or 60’s, graying hair, white baseball cap, maybe 6 foot or just shy, a little overweight. He was very normal looking but big nose and ears. I never heard any names or references such as Grandpa. She whispered something in his ear and he said something back and then I heard her say something like “but you said they were sad”.

6. Any photographs that you make (sic) have taken of her?

I wish I would have thought of that. I took a picture of the lighthouse out the view and her arm is in it, but at the time my husband and I were just suspicious thinking that maybe this little girl didn’t belong with the guy. It wasn’t until we caught a bit of the news later that night and saw Madeleine’s picture that my husband and I both thought how much it looked like her but the news said age 3 and we were certain the girl was more like 4. And being so far from Portugal, we at the point thought it probably wasn’t her. But it kept bothering us, so when we got home I searched the Internet for her and other missing children and found out she is 4 and saw all the other pictures of her and the video (the picture of her in the dark blue chang (sic) shirt really struck me and her expressions in the video) and that is when we thought everything is adding up, not to mention the sitings (sic) in Argentina and Guatemala, which if he was sailing would be right along the way.

7. Any additional information that you feel may be of benefit to investigate this sighting further.

San Felipe would be a great hiding place – not too many tourists, mostly Mexicans and the federales seem pretty laid back. When they left the restaurant they walked north on the sidewalk right past where we were sitting. I thought it was odd that we didn’t see meals brought to them, unless they ate before we got there, but if that is the case, they sat there a long time after. She just had a shirley temple that she barely sipped on and I think I saw her munch on one chip. I wish I would have done more like ask her name and take a picture.

My husband and I feel very strongly that it was her. I feel so strongly that I want to go back down there and look for her, but I don’t know what I would do if I saw her again and I’m all the way up in Idaho. I hope this helps. Someone needs to go there right away.

Hello,

Probably not this little girl, but sure did look like her. The only thing was the child was dressed as a little boy, the same size, hair colour and eyes. Though I am not sure about the eye that is different.

I was not paying that close attention during the long flight from Amsterdam to Memphis International Airport on Sunday, October 7, 2007.

The plane landed in Memphis at around 4 P.M. The child was well behaved during the flight and stood up several times to look at me for only a few seconds. The woman was in her late 30’s with brown hair, and was also travelling alone, she looked to be about 5’ 8’ tall. The child looked so much like this little girl and is haunting me to the point that I have been searching on my computer to see pictures of this little girl so that I might see what she would look like with short hair.  

Thanks. 

R.G.

24th December 2007

After seeing a side view picture of Madeleine McCann in yesterdays Sunday Mirror, it started me thinking again, of a girl I had seen on holiday. I could not get her out of my mind, so went to see a friend, a retired police officer and ask for his thoughts, after looking at the photo I had taken, he said "There are to many similarities for you not to contact the police"
Notts police gave me this email address.

When the couple in the photo's saw me with the camera they covered the girls head with a towel and left.

Date of photo... 23rd or 24th November 2007 Hotel ............ Gloria Palace
Amadores
Puerto Rico
Gran Caneria

Regards

Janet Allcock
