Hello.

My name is Luciana and I live in Switzerland, I am writing you this email upon the request of my mother who also lives in Switzerland (Zurich) and who claims to have seen a dark hired person with two fair children near to where she lives, the girl who was with him looked very much like Medeleine (sic) Beth McCann, my mother found it strange but did not yet know about the disappearance of Medeleine, only finding out hours later from the news. Maybe this has nothing to do with Medeleine but we just want to have a calm conscience in terms of trying to help in some way.

We hope that she will soon be free again and happy with her family.

14th May, 18:30 a telephone call via 112 was received from a Spanish couple, surname Rodriguez, resident in Huelva.

The couple refused to give their phone number, with the excuse that they were staying in the Algarve at the house of some friends and preferred not to give their number, expressing some fear.

The Spanish man reports an event of 11th May 2007, last Friday.

When crossing the Guadiana River by the Ayamonte ferry, his wife saw two men aged about 20, apparently Arabs and a couple who appeared Portuguese with a girl similar to the missing girl, but whose hair had been cut. They were travelling in an old red Fiat, with a number plate that was probably Portuguese.

The individuals took the ferry in the St Antonio/Ayamonte direction.

From: Inspector Rui Figueira

I inform you that today at about 20.30 this PJ station was informed by Assistant Chief Helena of Funchal PSP that a few moments earlier the Machico police station had received telephone information about the possible whereabouts of Madeleine McCann, missing from Praia da Luz in the Algarve.

According to the PSP officer, a girl very similar to Madeleine McCann was seen near to the Engenho bus station in Machico, accompanied by a woman, the driver of a green Renault Clio, with number plate 01-79-OR, registered in the name of Cristina Abreu Sousa, resident of Santa Cruz.

Upon superior orders inquiries were immediately made to clarify the situation.

However, at about 21.15, Assistant Chief Helena informed us that the PSP had in the meantime located the vehicle in question as well as Mrs Sousa, who was indeed the owner and driver. It was possible to confirm the presence of the woman in Machico, accompanied by a girl, who was identified as her daughter.

The situation having been clarified and found to have nothing to do with the missing English girl, the immediate demobilisation of the officers was ordered.

Date: 2007-05-30

Place: Lagos

Requesting officer: Chief Inspector Tavares de Almeida

Executing officers: Inspectors Marques Bom and Luis Miranda

Description and Result of Inquiry:

As a result of the attached fax, we went to Lagos, to Rua Regimento do Infantario n| 4 and not to Artilharia 4, specified in the fax as that address does not exist.

Upon our arrival we located the building, situated at lot 124, an urban residential site, composed of a ground floor, first floor and underground garage.

When we approached the house nobody appeared at the door and we later found out from neighbours that the house was the property of a Swiss citizen, a resident of Estoril, Lisbon, named Cristiano and married to D. Manuela, a couple who adopted an orphaned girl several years ago and who was now aged 14.

The individual who is retired and aged about 60 rents the house out through an estate agency during the summer period.

The house is composed of 3 bedrooms, a kitchen, 2 WC, living room, garage and swimming pool and is fully furnished.

With regard to the occupation of the house during the months of April and May of this year, we were told that the house was closed and had been unoccupied and no use of the house for personal or criminal purposes was reported.

Description and Results of Inquiry:

With the aim of checking the veracity of information received today by DIC Portimao at 15.00, which raised the possibility that Madeleine was at a farm in Aljezur, owned by a German couple, we contacted Nelson Gil Domingues, the “informant” in question and went to the farm.

We noted that indeed a young girl was living there but that she is the daughter of P. and R. Kress, owners of the property. The entire property known as Casa do Tramelo, was searched, nothing abnormal having been found.

Possible hint! A female person called the police in Friedberg and told them the following: “I am calling because of the kidnapped child in Portugal. I know it is difficult to explain. You could call it “clear vision”. It was an “intuition” a “vision”. I was not in Portugal myself. The child is about 40 kilometres south from the place where she was abducted in a location called Sagres. The house where the child is held is located in the “Rua Praya Mareta”. If you drive along the road toward the south there is a roundabout. After the roundabout a side street crosses Rua Praya Mareta. The house is somewhere within a 50 m parameter round about this crossing. It is a 1 or 2 storied house probably on the left side. The girl was still alive when I “sensed” her and in the house but she is poorly.

The caller’s name is not (!) known but she spoke very clearly and did not seem to be mentally confused. When asked by the Friedberg police she was unable to give a more detailed description of the house. We do not have any further information. Please inform your competent authorities, advising them that the above information was “an intuition” or a “vision”!

Mme Vontrat made the link with young Maddie on the basis of the eyes having a peculiarity in the iris (not shown on television) and because of the hair style. She thinks there is a 65% resemblance.

Subject: Information relating to the suspicion of a couple in the abduction of Madeleine McCann

I inform you that today at about 15.45, I received a phone call from my colleague, Inspector Raquel Areias, who told me the following:

At approximately 14.00 today at the Galp service station in Monforte-Ermesinde, a couple who are friends of the Inspector, were approached by a couple with a British accent, aged about 55-60 and travelling in a dark grey Volkswagen Golf with number plate 72-DD-01 who wanted to know how to join the A3 motorway to Spain.

Whilst the Inspector’s friend explained the best way of joining the A3, her boyfriend noticed that on the back seat, there was a blonde girl, perfectly conscious and making drawings, wearing a pink camisole, aged about 3 or 4, whom appeared to him to be Madeleine McCann.

When the couple realised that the girl was being observed, they left immediately.

The man is described as being of strong build, with grey hair brushed backwards and the woman was blonde with a curly, very voluminous hair style.

When the SPO was checked, as shown by the print out attached, this corresponded to a Yamaha motorbike.

That is all I have to inform you.

Signed

Inspector Magueija
