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.

Best regards,

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.

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
