The male was taking photos of the girl, but there was no smiling, just fear on her face. The male was talking to the owner of the cafe in a foreign language but caller could not say if it was Arabic.
1718 1103 - BC09 Cafe De Spice is the only cafe in the spice market square.
1719 1103 - BC09 The male left after 45 minutes having grabbed the girl by her arm and pulled her out. Having returned to the UK they became aware of the enquiry, but the photograph in today's Daily Mail is the spitting image of the girl caller saw in Marrakech.

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.

Subject: Service Information

 

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.

To: The Coordinator of the Criminal Investigation

 

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.

Statement Date : 15th June 2007

I am the above named person and I live at the address given on page '00' of this statement.

On Thursday 7th June 2007 I went to Portugal for a short holiday with a party of girls. It was a hen party for my friend Julie SMITH and 9 of us went initially. We were joined by another girl on Saturday 9th June. We all stayed at a private apartment block called Vivenda Paraiso, Entrada Vale Navio, CP 65NZ, Albufeira, 8200393. The block is owned by Jim and Aggie LAYLAND who live in the basement area. Their contact Tel. No. is 003512895xxxxx. The block consists of 3 apartments, the largest being a first floor apartment with veranda that overlooks the main road which is about 100 yards away. The two other apartments are in a separate block at the back of the first apartment. Between Thursday and Saturday I stayed in one of the rear apartments with Suzy and Louise. When Jessical arrived on Saturday she took my place and I moved into the front apartment with Sheila, Julie and Lucy..

About 10pm on Monday 11th June 2007 we all took a ride to a nearby harbour which was about 15 minutes away. We did some shopping and had a walk around the marina. We were approached by two guys who started chatting to us and wanted to buy us a drink. I mentioned that some of us were from Leicester and the first guy mentioned the missing girl Madeleine. I said to him that I was beginning to doubt whether or not she would ever be found. He replied by saying that there is a possibility that she could be alive but added that the parents should never have left the children alone. He said something to the second guy who then raised an eyebrow. I would describe the two guys as :

...........and who were introduced to by Jim and Aggie. About 10 minutes after we left our apartment we were travelling along along a busy main road when I saw to the right hand side another male who looked very similar to the first guy from Monday night and the guy that I saw twice on the Tuesday. I remember that all 3 males had the same bald head with grey back and sides. The male was walking away from a very small derelict building that was set back off the road. He was alone and walking towards a four wheel drive type vehicle that was light grey/blue in colour. He was about 2 hundred yards from the road.

I was not happy with the sighting of what could have been the same man close to derelict buildings, especially with him acting suspiciously and also being in company with a child. About 3pm on Wednesday 13th June I reported my suspicions to Officer's at Keyham Police Station, Leicester.

Date : 26th June 2007
Subject : A1811 - TI/TST Samantha PRESTON (N1796)

Sir,

About 15.10hrs on 21st June 2007, I received a call from Samantha PRESTON (N1796)

In addition to the content of her earlier statement, dated 15th June 2007, she now recalls that about 05.00hrs on Saturday 9th June 2007, she returned to her apartment in a very drunken state. When she alighted from the taxi she vomited at the front of the apartment. It was still dark and she noticed that lights were on in the basement area, where the owner's, Jim and Aggie LEYLAND lived, and decided to knock at the fron door to tell them that she would clean up the mess in the morning. As she went to knock on the door she stumbled and fell on the doorstep, the door opened. She looked up and saw a child's head suddenly turn over the arm of the settee and look at her. The child had dark hair, biggish cheeks and a tiny mouth. She thought she heard the word 'nish' or 'neesh' spoken. Samantha was approached by Aggie and she told her about the mess but Aggie said something like, "Don't worry about it". Samantha then said to her, "What are you doing up at 5am in the morning ?". Aggie's face changed and nothing more was said.

Samantha never saw the child again for the remainder of the holiday. She did see Aggie again but nothing was said about the incident. Samantha never saw the owner's use the front door of the basement area during the entire holiday.

Respectfully submitted for your attention/consideration.

I was in TENERIFE in a hotel called Oasis Marquee in Los Christianos, it's on the beachfront. I was leaving the hotel on Friday 11th May about 6.30pm when I saw a little girl resembling Madeleine at the pool on her own. When I came down into the reception area the little girl came and pulled my hair. She wouldn't speak but did smile. There was a woman in the hairdresser's in th ehotel having foil streaks done. Big woman, jet black hair. She came out of the hairdresser's called child Madeleine, but with a foreign accent and pulled the child back into the hairdresser's.
Child in light summer dress. Hair like Madeleine McCann's. Aged about 3-4.

Your ref 4H-2395710-07 concerning the disappearance in Portugal of Madeleine Beth McCann, born 12th May 2003. We wish to inform you of the following :

1) Contact has been made with CHURCHILL, forename : Christopher, who stated that.......


Page 712 (Page 3 of 5)

.....the train on which he thought he saw the child on 10th May 2007 was going from Malaga to Fuengirola. When it arrived at Los Boliches, a woman and a girl got on. The woman was 1.70 metres tall with shoulder length coppery red hair. She was very thin and had high cheekbones. She had a thin face and looked rather gaunt. From her appearance he did not think she was Spanish but rather North European. She was very tanned and wore a red dress.

He was surprised that neither of the 2 of them spoke during the journey. The girl was not happy. They got off the train at Fuengirola. He did not know where they went. We have been unable to make enquiries to confirm or refute the possible link between the girl who was seen with the missing girl.

2) With regard to the sighting at Lanzarote Airport, gate 2 bound for Gatwick, we have obtained the CCTV footage for the Airport and we are going to forward it by post.

3) In relation to the sighting of ROBERT MURAT in a Malaga cafe on 11th May 2007, making a call from 95228xxxx, we would advise that this telephone is installed at Portal 2 (door 2), 21 Calle Esquilo, Malaga and corresponds to Maria ROxxxxxxx MUxxx, who does not live there but her daughter does, who has no information on the case. However, our services in Malaga received a telephone call in which the caller told a similar story to the informant for telephone number 95228xxxx, indicating that a girl looking very similar to Madeleine was in a cafe in Malaga with a man. Further enquiries found them to be father and daughter.

I am the above named person and I live at the address overleaf. I am a HGV driver. My truck is a DAF, registration xxxx xxx and is a 44 tonne artick(sic), with 'BURBANK PRODUCE' written on the side. The company is Burbank and I collect fruit and vegetables from Paris and bring it back to Bradford. I do the journey twice a week with one of the journeys on a Saturday. On my way back I came along the A1 road from PARIS to LEILLE in FRANCE.

I can not recall what date it was but it was a Saturday a week after Madeleine McCann went missing. I was on my own driving about 2 hours into my journey so it will have been around 11am. I was driving at about 56 mph which is my limit when an old style left hand drive Volvo drove past me on my lefthand side. Due to it being France I was driving on the right of the road and my truck is a lefthand drive. The car although a lefthand drive looked to have an English registration plate on it but I can not remember what it was. The car overtook me on my left and pulled back in front of me and slowed down somewhat. Due to this I pulled out to the next lane to overtake it but the car then sped up and went off. Again it was an old style Volvo either a dull bronze or a gold colour with a big boot. It was not a modern car. I think the car had a brown interior.

I did not take much notice of the car as it passed me but then it pulled back in front of me and slowed down so I pulled out to overtake it so it was on my right. The car had 2 males in the front and a female in the back. I will describe these later. As I came up to the car to overtake it as I got parallel to the boot the female in the rear of the car turned to her left and looked over her left shoulder straight at me. I could see there was a child also in the rear of the car with her sat to her left. As the female looked at me she pulled a pink.......

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.

1. With regards to your message advising that Interpol London had received information that in Playa de Mojacar/Almeria at 1500 hours on 13th May 2007, an individuak ( unidentified by IP London) saw a couple with two children, one of whom looked like Madeleine. The individuals got out of a black Peugeot with a Spanish VRM, part of which read '...778'. Enquiries to locate these vehicles have been unsuccessful. Furthermore, the description of those accompanying Madeleine did not provide any information which could have helped to locate them.

2. Interpol London advised us that they had received information that approximately 5 days after Madeleine's disappearance, a grey Renault with Portuguese VRM xxx-x1-01 was seen (by unidentified individual) on Calle Juan Sebastian el Cano on the outskirts of VERA, Calle Juan Sebastian el Cano is in Vera Playa, and we have not been able to locate any Renault with Portuguese VRM there. However, we found a dark grey Renault 19 with Portuguese VRM xx-xx-88 parked on a street at right angles to Calle Juan Sebastian el Cano, Calle Nunez de Balboa, next to Urb. La Medina. This vehicle does not appear to be abandoned.

Similarly, with regards to point 1. , please be advised that a black Peugeot 307 with VRM xxx2-xxR was parked near the abovementioned vehicle. This vehicle belongs to the Hert Hire Company and was hired at Almeria Airport by British national Alex TAxx (Passport number : 30-0x-xxxxx). The vehicle was hired on 10th June until 13th June. The vehicle was parked outside apartment 15xx, a property marked as 'Casa ALxxxxx', in Urb. Las Medinas de Vera Playa. However, in view of the fact that neither of the VRM's match up, or even resemble those of the vehicles sighted, we do not believe that either vehicle has any connection to the case.

3. With regards to the information from Puesto de Garrucha which our Unit was informed about yesterday, and which stated that an individual named, Margateta VERSCHELDEN, had seen a girl who may have been Madeleine at around 1300 hours on 23rd May in GARRUCHA : please be advised that yesterday afternoon we interviewed Margateta and she accompanied Officer's from our Force to the exact place where she had seen the girl, describing where she was going to. We asked to see footage from the CCTV of the Post Office and of the Calle Mayor in Garrucha where the individuals with Madeleine were walking. However, the Post Office does not keep CCTV recordings for very long and so unfortunately the footage could not be viewed.

We were in SEVILLE on Saturday 12th May. I was stood outside the bull-ring near the entrance to the museum (you can see the entrance to the museum on the attached picture, it is painted orange). A little girl was standing outside the entrance and didn't seem to want to go inside the building with the adult she was with. She seemed very sad, so I took this photograph.
I doubt that someone who abducted Maddie on the Thursday would be visiting a bull-ring on the Saturday so I suspect this photo will not help you, but I thought it was better to send it anyway, and let you have a look at it.

You can contact me on this e-mail address or on my UK mobile number which is 079682xxxxx.

Hello,
I am a medical student in Poland, Wroclaw.
This is a long shot, but I wanted to report a suspicious car with a man and young girl I saw a few days ago.

Audi S8 silver with taxi stickers on side showing 1100x or some numbers with 11 on doors. Inside in back seat without seatbelt a young girl with white head band that could be looking like Madeleine. In front a 50+ tough looking man smoking.
The car left from parked outside U1. (Note : could be Ul.) Prusa in Wroclaw going east I think, I was going other direction around 8 - 9am.

My reason for concern is that I know there are many hore(sic) houses here, and criminal people that deal with girls. Further, no normal taxi driver can afford a luxury car like Audi S8 here.

I though I wouldn't report this, but it stuck in my head, so I just felt like reporting this. It might not be important.

External Inquiry Report

 

 

Date: 2007-05-12

 

Place: Praia da Luz, Lagos

 

Responsible Officers: Inspectors Pedro David, Arménio Pontes and Hugo Ferreira.

 

 

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.

On 12th May 2007 I was at MALAGA Airport approx 1145am-1220pm in area C.
I was sitting waiting for my flight when a young girl ran towards me, screaming and crying, shaking her arms.
A lady ran up behind her and grabbed her and picked her up and took her back to where they were sitting which was out of my view. When I entered area C, I walked past a bank of monitors and then sat in front of the next bank of monitors, facing the way I had just walked.
The young girl looked approx 3 yrs, fair waxy hair possibly crimped. She was very upset. I didn't hear her speak.

Hello Bruno,

I was called today by a Dutch woman about the missing girl.
The woman told me that on 12th May 2007 she was in the Airport of FARO. The woman had stayed with the family for three nights in Filla Mora. The flight back to Holland was at p.m. 07.00.

On the airport (near customs) she saw a baby girl with a (man and woman) couple. The couple were European people between 20 and 30 years old.
They had a girl with them with thin blond hair and with a blue teat in her mouth. The girl was sitting in a so-called McLaren buggy. She didn't hear them speaking with each other or with the girl. The woman lift up the girl and the girl reacted normally.

The Dutch woman had seen a copy of the photo of the missing Madeleine while she was going through the customs. The woman thinks she saw Madeleine.

The man was dressed sporty. It was a tall man.
The woman was also sporty dressed. The woman made a frightened impression.
The Dutch woman I soke with is Caroline PEYSIR.
Date of birth is 5th July 1958.
Tel : +316425xxxxx

For questions I'm available for you of course.

On 13th May 2007, Mario VOLAR, (DoB : 8th March 1986), reported to the Police Station of Graz Eggenberg that he saw something suspicious around 13.15 at the OMV petrol station at GRAZ-STRASSGANG with regard to the child abduction in Portugal (4th May 2007) - Madeleine McCann - 3 year old girl). In a VW Kombi (see enclosure) bearing British licence plates ( photo I/p P-870FQJ) he saw a male person, approx. 35 years, 180 cm, slim build, and a female person with black long hair. On the back seat he also saw a child's seat, however, because of the dark panes he could not see whether there was indeed a child in the car.

Since he cannot rule out what he saw is connected to the media coverage of the child abduction in Portugal, he made a report to the Police.

Please find enclosed a photo of the VW-Kombi provided by the petrol station owner.

Information :
I was in Praia de Luz on Monday 7th - 21st May. I was staying in Luz Bay Hotel. Whilst I was there I was drawn to this track in the road, not far from Robert Murat's villa. I went down there on 13th May. After returning from this track, I was near the supermarket road and walked on the righthand side as Murat's villa on the left. Past the McCann's apartment and saw some trellis. Just beyond this were two men and a little girl with darker hair than Maddy. The car was black, not a little car. One of the men wore sunglasses.

I saw Neal Sears, the Daily mail reporter, but he was on his mobile.

Didn't do anything about it as thought it may be nothing.

17th Daily Mail the arch(sic), (?architect?), who built Murat's villa had a concealed room. I saw picture of Russian chap (Sergey) who was possibly driving the car I saw, maybe a Citreon. Did go to the Police on that day.

Comments :

Hello,

Last Friday 29th of June I contacted the Dutch Police in Eindhoven, ( because I didn't who(sic) ((?want or wish?)), to contact anyone else) after seeing the message on TV on Thursday night and Friday morning about the arrest of two people, an Italian man and a Portuguese woman, possibly related to the missing Madeleine McCann.

I did not hear from the Police since then. Maybe my tip doesn't lead to anything but I find it important to be sure that the message is reported to the right persons. That's why I am sending this e-mail.


Page 819 (Page 3 of 5)

In the week from May 5th til May 19th we were in the Algarve (My husband, my mother-in-law, my sister-in-law and my(sic) ((?her??)), husband). The first week we stayed in Lagos and the second week in Santa Barbara de Nexe. We heard about the disappearing of Madeleine on Wednesday 9th May. There were pictures everywhere so you couldn't miss it.

In the second week when we stayed in Santa Barbara de Nexe we drove near the shore towards CARVOEIRO and were making a car trip. In the little town, Carvoeiro, we went to the beach for a very short time and when we decided to get something to drink I was waiting, in front of the beach, with my mother-in-law for my husband who was still on the beach. At that time, a couple, a man with dark hair and a woman with dark hair, came from the beach and they had a little girl with them who had blond hair.

The reason why it took my attention was because the girl was 3 - 4 years old (but I don't have any children and I don't know much about sizes etc at any age), had blond hair and the parents had dark hair. The man and woman were speaking English (not with an accent, at least not that I could hear) and said something to the girl and called her, at first, Maddy and then Madeleine because she didn't listen right away. But she didn't react strange.

When I was waiting I watched them walking towards the town and was doubting to do anything with this. I couldn't imagine if you have abducted a little child you would go to the beach only 60 km (or something like that) away and call her by her real name. Maybe if I had seen a Policeman at that time I might attented(sic) him but the situation to me was not likely.


Page 820 (Page 4 of 5)

When I heard of the arrest of the man and woman this picture again occurred to me. The news didn't show any photo's of the people who were arrested (and I believe that the investigation did point out that they were after tipmoney(sic), (?ransome?), or something like that). If I would see the pictures I might be able to tell you if the people they have arrested are the same I saw on the beach that day (Monday 14th May). It probably is nothing but you never know.

Well if this information is of any help then you can contact me by e-mail or phone.

Kind regards, I hope you will find her soon.

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”!

Regards, SIRENE Germany

An Austrian journalist thought to have recognised the kidnapped McCann Madeleine during a film shooting in Graz/Styria on 2007 05 06 at about 15.30 as one of the children being filmed. It is the blond girl in pink trousers, white shirt and red jacket. We forward via e-mail photographs for a possible presentation to the parent.

Reply to your message: On 13-05-2007 Mme Sylvie Vonstrat after having seen the news on television contacted the Colmar Gendarmerie and claimed to have seen on Friday 11-05-2007 at bout 19.00 in the Rond Point shop in Logelbach at the check out, a gypsy couple with a small girl sitting in the trolley who did not resemble the couple at all and who did not smile. 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. Security footage has been seen. Checks have been made with travellers in Colmar. A photo fit of the couple will be made.

Dear Sir,

Our friend in India, lars Siefert, should already have sent you an e-mail around the 18th May. Just to make sure that you have got it, I would like to mention the incident again.
On the 14th of May, my wife and I were on Brigade Road in BANGALORE, INDIA. Towards us came an Indian couple, a woman and a man in the mid-20's. Between them they had a little girl around 4 years old, caucasian and with light shoulder long hair. I wondered about it but thought that it could be normal since all people with money have maids, nannys, cooks and chauffeurs, so it could likely be a nanny and a chauffeur. Later that evening we saw on TV that a little girl was missing from Portugal.
The picture could resemble her, but many children look a little alike. We told our friends in Delhi about the incident, he is a UN Security Officer. Coming home to Denmark on the 19th of May, we saw another picture that was the most recent that was taken and it resembled the girl we saw a lot more then than the one on TV. We sent a SMS to our friend in Delhi that we had visited on the 16th of May, and he replied that he had sent messages to the Portuguese, English and Danish Police but told us to contact the Danish Police ourselves. We did so the same evening and explained what we had seen. I said it was M G road but we have a receipt from McDonald's on Brigade Road where it happened. M G road and Brigade road cross each other. This is not to give anybody false hope, but seeing the picture in Denmark makes me very annoyed that I didn't take contact to the people to clarify if anything was wrong.

Yours sincerely,
Lars Kristensen

From: Inspector Henrique Magueija

 

 

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

Information :

I flew into Faro on the 9th May 2007 and left on the 16th May 2007. I was staying at Albufara(sic) and there is a beach there which is reached via a tunnel. On the evening of 14th May 2007, I was returning down the tunnel at approx 1730 local time. The tunnel often has beggars in it and I noticed a beggar just outside the tunnel had a blonde haired child with her. Could not tell the sex of the child, and the child looked distressed as the beggar (who was a Portuguese woman) was trying to get the child to sit on her lap. I thought the child looked to be about 4 years old and thought it strange that the child had a nappy on and blonde hair, was not as long as Madeleine's hair and the child was wearing red thick tights with holes in them and some kind of boots, nothing worn on the top.
The woman was quite plump, size 16, dark hair with a very high forehead, I did not make eye contact with the woman, woman possibly in her mid-20's early 30's and was wearing black.

Comments :

Re Madeleine McCann. Could this be a case of mistaken identity ? Madeleine Mxxx from Holland (age 3) was staying at the same resort complex at the same time Madeleine McCann went missing. Is she related to Mxxx, Holland, the shipping magnate who's business specialises in freight to Portugal and Spain (do a google search) ? This little girl's picture is on Sky News Website under the McCann story and bears a very similar resemblance to Madeleine McCann. I don't mean to be a nuisance and I hope Madeleine is found soon.

Regards,

Lisa

Was in SALOU at hotel called MARGARETA from 11th May 2007 to the 18th May 2007 - believe that on the 14th or 15th May 2007 she was having lunch on the pormenade in Salou at a bar - she states that while eating a little girl was led past, she was definitely being led rather than freely walking. States that there were a lot of posters with Madeleine on them and she states that the little girl was the spitting image of the poster, however she could not see her eyes as she was wearing sunglasses. Little girl was wearing a light coloured top and pink shirts(sic) (??shorts??). Unsure if it was a male or female leading the child but she was being led by her left hand and the adult leading was wearing a red or orange bracelet.

The bar that they were sat outside was in between the Lunatic Bar on one corner and a place called the Rover's Return on the other.
