We have received this information from Interpol Sweden. It is brief information about a possible sighting on a beach in Mallorca.

Person Interviewed : NATTERLUND Marie : Capacity : Witness : ID Confirmed : Yes

Suspicion/Reason for the Interview : Marie NATTERLUND heard concerning the missing 4-year-old girl that disappeared in Portugal.

Interviewing Officer : Kalju POLTRAGO : Date of Interview : 31st May 2007 :
Interview started at : 18.30 : Interview closed at : 18.45
Place of Interview : Police Quarters in Gavle.
Type of Interview : Code of Judicial Procedure 23:6
Interview Mode : Telephone

Report :
Marie was on vacation last week in MALLORCA together with 2 girl-friends. When she arrived home she read about the missing girl in Portugal and then there was an incident last week that Marie observed that can be connected to the disappearance of the girl.

A man was sitting on the beach and he had dug a large pit in which he himself was sitting. He was sitting in a chair and was making sand pies to himself. A little girl that according to Marie could have been about 4 years old was sitting in a buggy close by, completely apathetic. She was only wearing bikini trousers. After a while the girl fell asleep and her head was hanging and everything, according to Marie, looked very abnormal. After a while a man came from their hotel and told the man in the pit that he had to cover the girl against the sun. Marie then saw that the man in the pit sprayed the girl's face and body with sun-factor.

When the girl woke up she staggered for a while around the man in the pit.

The girl in the buggy looked exactly like the girl Madeleine that disappeared in Portugal. She has her age, hair colour and size of body. She was about 4 years old, ash-coloured hair that was tied into a bun at the back. She was sitting in a pink buggy. Marie reached to the fact that this did not seem to be normal. The man did not seem to be the father of the girl. They never bathed.
Marie saw them for about 1-2 hours and then they disappeared.

Marie was on the beach of PALMA NOVA in Mallorca and it was probably in the afternoon of May 23rd or 24th May. It was the hottest part of the day.

The man appeared to be tall - he was sitting the whole time, on the top of his head he had no hair, but otherwise he had hair. He had ash-blonde hair and he looked European. Language not known. About 50-55 years old and he only wore bathing trunks. Slender build.

Transcript was read out and approved.

Information :
At approx. 1400hrs on 23rd May 2007 you saw a woman with a child in a pushchair who looked like Maddy, she was wearing a white summer hat which looked too small, something in her mouth which was black. Small T-shirt and shorts on.

The pushchair red with a red hood, slightly reclined, her legs were crossed in lotus position and both were up on the seat.

I could see a tiny bit of hair sticking out from the hat and it was mousy blonde in colour.

The woman with her was 5'6" to 5'8" tall, very thin, white, did not have any tan and her hair was blonde bob, shoulder length. She was wearing similar to the child which were pastel in colour. (I think that they were both dressed in the same colour).

Photographs I have seen looked fatter than the child.

Action No. : A1009 (Cont)

On a crossing in Vilamoura, Portugal, there is a road with a Casino on it and there are several crossings around the area. As my husband and I were crossing they were waiting to cross in the other direction and another couple.

My husband went to help her down with the pushchair and she refused and looked very angry, crossed directly in front of me and I was unable to get onto the pavement.

That is when I saw the child's eyes and they looked black, the child was very thin and pale.

I did not hear the woman speak and she went off down the side of the road near a hotel Villa Gayl (not sure of the spelling(sic) ). Hotel is next door to the Casino.

As the child seemed so thin I did not link this to Madeleine as she looked too thin from the photo's I had seen.

The iris on the eye with marking on it they(sic) eye that did not have the marking on was completely dilated.

On the other eye only had a dash on it.

I had reported this to the Police in Portugal, Vilamoura, on Friday 26th May. They gave me some numbers to ring if I saw anything again and they took all the information that you (sic) (copy of my notes).

Statement of : Susan Ann HOWELL
Age : Over 18
Occupation : Housewife

This statement (consisting of 6 page(s) each signed by me) is true to the best of my knowledge and bleief and I make it knowing that, if it is tendered in evidence, I shall be liable to prosecution if I have wilfully stated anything in it, which I knoe to be false, or do not beleive to be true.
(signed : S. A. Howell Date : 30th May 2007

I am the above named person and I reside at the address overleaf.
On Monday 21st May 2007, I flew out with my husband, Shaun Christopher Howell, dob 19th May 1958, to the Algarve. We were spending 7 days at the Dom Pedro Portobelo Hotel, Avenida Tivoli, Lote HS, Vilamoura 8125410, Portugal.
The hotel is situated on a one-way road, which allows two cars to travel side-by-side, very similar to a dual carriageway. The beach is situated on the opposite side of this road, and down a road with a small island at the bottom. The beach is approximately 400 yards at the bottom of this road. Directly opposite the road that leads to the beach, is the driveway that leads to our hotel. The Dom Pedro Portobelo Hotel is on your righthand side as you walk up this driveway, the sister hotel, Dom Pedro Marina is on your lefthand side. On the corner of this driveway, the Dom Pedro Marina side, is a pedestrian crossing that goes across.....

Continuation of statement of : Susan Ann Howell

........the main road.
At about 1345hrs on 23rd May 2007, the Wednesday, myself and Shaun were walking back to our hotel from the beach. We were walking along the road on the righthand side, that leads from the beach to our hotel. As we got to the top of this road, I do not know it's name, we crossed over it in order to use the pedestrian crossing. As we waited for a break in the traffic, Shaun was stood to my left. The road is extremely busy with traffic, and unlike the United Kingdom, the traffic does not stop to allow pedestrians to cross at a crossing. When a gap in th etraffic presented itself, I began to cross with Shaun. Shaun is a faster walker than myself, and therefore was slightly ahead of myself to my left. When across the road, I became aware of a female with a pushchair in front of me to my right. She was on the corner of the road and driveway to the hotels. At this point I was still focusing on the road, and getting across safely.
When I was almost across the road, I became aware that Shaun had gestured......

.........to someone. When I looked up at this point, the woman with the pushchair was in front of me. I looked at the child first, and I could see that it was a young girl sat in the chair with her legs crossed, and she had her hands together holding them close to her chin. She was holding something in her hands which was black in colour, and she was biting onto it. The child looked straight at me, and immediately her eyes caught my attention. Her left iris was so dilated, it almost completely covered the colour of the eye. The child's right eye was also dilated, but not as much as the left eye. I could clearly see a small mark on the bottom left part of the coloured part of the eye as you look at it. The child's face also looked long and pale, and her arms and legs appeared to be thin. The child looked about 3 years old, and was wearing a white summer hat that appeared small. I could see hair under the hat that was mousy blond in colour. The bits that I could see were shoulder length. She was wearing pastel coloured shorts, either lemon or pink, and a T-shirt that was also either lemon or pink. The T-shirt was the one colour and the shorts the other.

Continuation of statement of : Susan Ann Howell

The child's eyes were the thing that caught my attention, and I could see them as the front wheels of the pushchair were raised off the road. And even though the pushchair had it's hood up, I could clearly see into it.
I then looked up, and for a........................

(Note : Here, the continuation of the line has not been reproduced properly...((May have continued as perhaps, "moment I thought")) )

...the child was Madeleine McCann. I then looked at the woman, and could see that she was white with the same complexion as the child. The female had blonde hair that was cut into a shoulder length bob. She appeared to be in her mid-20's, around 5'7" - 5'8" in height. She was slim in build, and was wearing the same coloured clothing as the child, a T-shirt and shorts. The female may also have been wearing small rimmed spectacles.
I then thought the child looked like the mother, and again looked down at the child. This time the child was either looking down, or the pushchair was now down on all wheels. But I could still see the child was chewing on something.
The demeanour of the child seemed neutral(sic), she wasn't upset or seemed scared, but she didn't appear happy. She appeared blank.
The woman's demeanour seemed to be that of...................

Continuation of statement of : Susan Ann Howell

...........someone who was not happy. I felt as if I was in her way.
It was at this point that Shaun pulled me out of the way and onto the pavement. At which point we converged with another couple, we both apologised to each other for being in each other's way. Myself and Shaun have then walked off.
I looked back and could see the back of the woman, walking away from me.
The pushchair wa sred in colour, with 4 wheels, with a red hood. The child's seat was forward facing. The hood was curved as opposed to a square appearance. When the woman was walking away, I could see a carrier-bag either on the left handle or left arm.
The incident lasted for only 3 seconds, and I was only 3 feet from the child, the distance from my face to her face. Visibility was very good, it was a nice sunny day, and there were no obstructions to my view. I do not know this female and had not seen her before.
I am not sure I would recognise the woman if I saw her again.
For the remainder of the day, I was constantly thinking about the child, so we began to try to call the Madeleine McCann Hotline. For..................

...............reasons unknown, we could not get through. Therefore on the 25th May 2007, I reported the incident to the local Police Station.
Upon my return to the United Kingdom, I again reported the incident to the Police.
I am prepared to assist the Police in their investigation if required to.

Operation Task

With reference to the above subject please find attached a number of documents which have been collated by G Division of Lothian and Borders Police.

A summary of the circumstances is detailed below :

On 24th May 2007, a forecourt assistant at Rutherfords Filling Station, Melrose Road, EARLSTON. Scottish Borders, became aware of a young girl in the company of a male.
She had concerns regarding their behaviour and was of the opinion that the girl fitted the description of Madeleine.

CCTV images, although poor quality, have been obtained and are attached. (The disks are held with ourselves should they be required).

We have carried out searches of ANPR for similar style vehicles in and around the area of the garage although unfortunately there are no positive results from this.

The second item of correspondence was handed into Hawick Police Station by Joyce BROWN, xx, Mxxxx Pxxxx, Hawick, Scottish Borders. She claims to be a medium and made notes as they came to her whilst she was holding an image of Madeleine. The original notes are held at Hawick Police Station but I have re-created them onto a document (attached) for your information.

Witness Statement :

Pilot Police is a Time/Distance Speed Detection device, which has been in general use for many years and is not required to be type approved. It has however been approved for use by the Association Chief Police Officers.

I am trained and authorised to conduct Field Impairment Tests to assess impairment of drivers under S3A/4 of the Road Traffic Act. 1988.

On Monday, 28th May 2007 I was working 09:00 to 22:00 hour shift on mobile patrol duties along with the witness Constable Gracie.

About 16:50 hours, on that date, we called at Rhymers Tower Service Station, Melrose Road, Earlston, to fuel our patrol car. Whilst at the pumps I was approached by a member of the car sales staff who informed me that the witness Margaret JOHNSTONE would like a word with me regarding an incident in the premises several days earlier which was playing on her mind.

I entered the shop at the premises and spoke with the witness Johnstone who told me about a man with an American accent who had called at the SErvice Station on Thursday, 24th May 2007, with a small girl who resembled Madeleine McCANN. She thought the girl spoke with an English accent. She thought the man's behaviour had been a bit odd especially that he had spent about 15 minutes in the ladies toilet single cubicle with the girl before buying a carton of Ribena and returning to his car. He had walked around the car for a while before getting in and sitting on the forecourt for another few minutes before leaving. She had not been able to obtain the car registration number.

The witness Johnstone was unable to operate th enew security system on the premises and could not copy the captured images for us. We arranged to view and have the images copied by the Manager, witness Michael Spinks, on Tuesday 29th May 2007.

On Tuesday, 29th May 2007, the witness Constable Gracie and I attended at the Service Station and viewed the video images that had been captured on a Computer Hard-Drive Disc System, I noted a statement from the witness Margaret Johnstone. We arranged with the witness Michael Spinks to copy the images onto a CD or DVD. He had not been asked to do this before and requested that we give him to late afternoon to complete this operation. We called later in the day and uplifted a CD-R of the captured images. On returning to our station we were unable to play these image files.

On Wednesday, 30th May, Constable Gracie and I again called at the Service Station and waited while the witness Michael Spinks copied the images onto 4 CD-R Discs in our presence. He signed a production label for each disc and Cirtificates of Authentication regarding the Operation of the Camera Security Surveillance System and a statement was obtained from him.

We then took the 4 CD-R Discs to the TSU at FHQ, Fettes where the images were reformatted onto video, still CD images and 4 snapshot stills. Due to these images being captured in very compressed computer file format the quality of image was found to be very poor and enlarging or enhancing of the images to read vehicle registration numbers was not possible.

The vehicle in question appears to be a 4-door, silver or grey coloured, Toyota Corolla hatchback motor car. The child in the images bares enough resemblance to Madeleine McCANN to warrant further investigation.

The complete file of statements, Certificates of Aunthenticity, 4 CD-R Discs, video tape, CD stills disc and still snapshots were handed over to DC Stephen HALLS for further enquiry.

I took no further part in this enquiry.

But I will transcribe the pages as presented in the File)

Witness Statement

He took the girl back to the car and I think, but cannot be sure, that he put her in the front seat. He sat in the car for a while before he drove away. I could not see the car registration number and intended to get it when he drove away. The shop got busy and I missed him driving off. I checked the toilet after they left. It was clean, nothing out of place and not even smelly.

I do not think I would recognise either of them again.

Section 3. (Free Text)

About 3pm (1500) on Thursday, 24th May 2007 I was working 2pm to 10pm (1400-2200) in Rutherford's, Rhymers Tower Service Station, Melrose Rose, Earlston, when a man drove onto the forecourt in a small silver car, there was a small girl in the car with him, she looked about 4 years old. He came into the shop and led the girl into the corridor beside the counter and I asked him what he was looking for. He answered "the toilet" and asked if the ladies was a single cubicle, I answered "yes" and he said that was what he was looking for. He took the girl into the toilet, they were in there for about 15 minutes. I thought this was a long time and approached the door a few times, I could not hear anything from within. After what seemed an unusually long time they came back out into the shop. Neither the child, nor the man, seemed distressed or flustered. The girl asked for sweets but he said no and came to the counter with a carton of Ribena.

The man was about 6 feet, dark hair, wore tinted glasses which he removed when he came into the shop, slim, light skinned, 40-ish, he spoke with an American accent. He was wearing a black shirt but I can't remember what else. The child was about 4 years old, female, bobbed dirty blonde hair, 3 feet tall, fair complexion, spoke with what I thought was an English accent although she only said "sweets". The man paid cash, did not buy anything else and did not bring anything in with him.

Re : Request from Leicestershire Police re statement from Rxxxxx Oxxx.

Sir,

Regarding your request re the above, I have the following to report :
Officer's have made coontact with Rxxxxx Oxxx, x, Cxxx Bxxx, Colwyn Bay, and have attended to take a statement.

It is Officer's opinion that Oxxx suffers from Mental Health issues. She was extremely difficult to communicate with and constantly digressed from the issue. She has refused to give a statement without her solicitor being present, and says that she fears reprisals from the criminal underworld. She has given a different VRM to that initially provided, she has now given 'xxxx xxx'. This comes back to a local keeper approximately 10 miles from Oxxx's home address.

Throughout the time Officer's were speaking to her, she displayed signs of Mental Health issues.
We have been unable to establish if this is a genuine sighting, but in light of the above, suspect it is false or misguided information.

I can be contacted on 0149251xxxx if you have any queries.

Regards,

PS2456 Tony Harvey

Here, Mrs. WILLIAMS' statement continues thus :

............face, at this point the young girl then hit the old woman with her right hand, connecting with the old woman's left shoulder. She did this twice, could be three times and did it as if to push her off. It looked as if the old woman and the young child were annoyed with each other.

There was also another younger woman with them who, while this was happening, was talking to some other people who I didn't notice. She had very dark hair, quite short, coming down to the top of her neck, she was dressed in European clothing, again I wouldn't be able to recognise her. On seeing what was happening she turned around quickly, her hand came up and she pushed the older woman away from the child, it would appear that she was protective of the child. This woman then took the child by her hand and walked off, the older woman followed behind. I didn't see where they went as they walked underneath the balcony of the restaurant I was in and the surrounding buildings.

My husband then returned but I didn't say anything to him at the time. Following our meal, while outside the restaurant, I noticed that there was a small lane leading to backstreets and various shops, I don't know if they walked down in that direction.

That night I woke up as the incident was playing on my mind, it did cross my mind about the missing girl Madeleine MCCANN, and as a result I told my husband in the morning.

Also the following morning I was speaking to some other British tourists in the hotel and they mentioned that Madeleine may have been sighted previously in MARRAKECH, as a result I phoned a friend back home who gave me the number to the Incident Room and I reported what I had witnessed.

While at the restaurant on the night in question I took some photograph's of the square which I am willing to give to the Police.

I also have a photograph of the restaurant but this was taken on a different day.

With regards to my location when I saw this incident, I would say I was about 10 foot up on the balcony and the child was about 10 foot away from me. I will support the Police in whatever action they wish to take.

With regards to the photograph's taken, I have put them on a disk which I now produce : Police Ref : C.W.1 (EXHIBIT NO.)

I would also like to add that to my knowledge there was no CCTV covering the square in Marrakech.

Note : Here, is a handwritten entry of 3 lines, in the Portuguese Language, dated 10th July 2007, which refers to a 'Jens Kramersmeyer' and to a reported sighting in Malta. This entry has obscured part of this report. Furthermore, considering that the following part of the report, on the immediately following page, Page 1270, refers to a reported sighting in PARIS, France, it would suggest that the obscured portion of this page may have also referred to a further 'tip' re 'suspect #2')


Page 1270 (Page 2 of 2 )

The report then continues thus :

Description of Resident : Unknown
Prior Criminal History - Unknown
Weapons - Unknown
Dogs/Animals - Unknown
Gang Activity - Unknown
Employer/Work Schedule - Unknown

The tipster states while they were a tourist in Paris, France, they believe they saw the recently kidnapped girl form Portugal - Madeleine McCann.
Their attention was drawn to a couple walking with a little girl at the intersection of Rue Du Commerce and the Boulevard De Grenelle near the McDonalds Restaurant.
The reasons that they watched this small group of three was that the little girl looked exactly like the kidnapped Miss McCann and that the adults were acting in a suspicious manner towards the little child.

No further information at this time.

Note : Please delete this report as soon as received and copied.

Leicestershire Constabulary

 

Jane TANNER's Questionnaire states that she returned to the UK from Praia Da Luz on 17th May 2007. The Additional Family Member Questionnaire, for Russell O'BRIEN, gives his height as 6'6".

 

The raw telecom data provided to OP TASK shows that the mobile phone attributed to Jane TANNER (0780854191) was in contact with mobile number 07949731844 at 20:30:21 hrs on 3rd May 2007 and again at 09:04:46 hrs on 4th May 2007. Each contact was an 'SMS'. Enquiries are underway to subscribe the '1884’ number.

 

For your reference I have obtained a copy of the Daily Express, dated Wednesday 22nd August 2007, and I attach pages '1' and '7' detailing the Madeleine coverage.

 

I have E-mailed a copy of this report to Task Portugal for the attention of DI Mick GRAHAM.

Subject : 2. RESTRICTED : Possible sighting of Madeleine McCann

The following Information was received by PSNI, (Note : 'Police Service Northern Ireland'), on the CrimeStoppers line at 2.30pm on 11th July 2007.

I have just returned home from a holiday in Spain on Monday past. Last Saturday a friend took me to a beach in a wee place called SAN PEDRO.
The beach we went to was a small cove where locals go and the main beach runs off this. It is on the other side of Alicante and is beside where all the big yachts are. There were three of us and we were lying on sun-loungers when a very well dressed man, wearing cream chino shorts, cream shirt and sandals came onto the beach with a young child. The child was a wee girl about 3-4 years old and she was wearing a wee bikini and a hat. Her hair could not be seen under the hat. He was about 50-53 years old. The child did not speak but she seemed comfortable with the man. All he had with him was a hand-towel which he put on the sand and the wee girl lay down on it. He began rubbing her tummy and arms but he had no sun-cream with him. They were just about 50 yards in front of our sun-loungers. All I could think of was Madeline(sic) McCann. I'm not sure if this was her but it seemed very strange. If it was her father, uncle or whatever they would have had something for her to play with, food and sun-cream. I have been thinking about it ever since and can't get it out of my mind. I think I should have rang earlier but didn't know what to do. It might not have been her but I wanted to pass this on anyhow.


The incident happened in the early afternoon, it was daylight and sunny, the view was not obstructed, no photographs were taken. The caller did not wish to be identified.

Can we ask the Bulgarians to check for CCTV at this hotel please. If there is any, once it is preserved I'll have to ask the Garda to contact the complainant as the call taker didn't take times or proper details, but we'll cross that one only if there's some CCTV there.

....informant thought this was not unusual for a child not to talk to an adult.
However within an hour of this occurrence the informant states she was in the ladies toilet at the rear of the Club area when she heard a female speaking on a mobile phone from within a cubicle.
She states she heard the female say something about being stopped in a garage just before the Border and that she was worried that they would find the child. At this point another female unknown to informant came into the toilets and said a name to the person in the cubicle (unknown name) and said loudly, "Other people are in the toilet and stop talking on the mobile".
The female in the cubicle was not seen by informant but the person who had just entered is described as Skinny, aged 25-30, Dark skinned, described as a size 8, posh voice and long dark hair. Informant never saw the Blonde lady or the little girl before she left the park later that evening.
Informant was staying with a friend known as GINGE, (Possibly Ian BUTLER).
Further enquiries to be made by myself after 11.00hrs Saturday 26th concerning this male & the CCTV at the Arcade area.

Jane,

We have just received the following information from IP-Stockholm, who have received it from the Police in Gothenburg.

"Lukas HERMANSSON (LH) has been to MIL PALMERAS, in Spain. Mil Palmeras is approximately 60 km south of Alicante. On Sunday 27th May 2007 he went to an English pub there. He got talking to an English couple there who had a little girl with them. While they are talking, LH notices that the girl is very quiet and appears to be very shy. He is not allowed to speak to her. She sits quietly on a chair in a corner the whole time.

The man, approximately 170-180 cm tall, has a 'common' dialect. He has blond hair and is about 40 years old. The woman is about 20 years old, approximately 170 cm tall and has a nice, slim figure. LH does not think that she has carried a child.



Page 1318 (Page 3 of 3 )

LH thinks they are an odd couple, and they are nasty to each other. The man is loud, as if he grew up in a pub. The woman is only half his age, and does not 'suit' the man. The man does not act as if he is the father of the child, and LH has a feeling that he does not like her.

The little girl speaks English and is about 4 years old. She is very pretty and is dressed in a long, pink dress. LH never catches her eyes. She appears to be afraid.

After some time, LH accompanies the couple to their apartment/house. They claim to have stayed there for 2 weeks. LH notices that the beds are not made, and it looks like they have just arrived.

LH does not know the exact address, but he himself stayed in Playa 23, about a minute's walk away. It is close to the Olympic Pool area.

The couple claimed to have arrived at Murcia Airport. LH is not sure if Murcia has an Airport. They say that they are going away for a couple of days, but are keeping the apartment/house until Sunday 27th May 2007."

(Note : Here, is a handwritten entry of 10 lines, in the Portuguese Language, which refers to a reported sighting in Porto and also to a Tel. No. 3549613xxxxx. This entry appears to have obscured part of this report)

Report then continues thus :

His English is broken, but largely understandable. He
claims that "20 days ago" he saw a child in what he
thinks was a blue pushchair (he called it a "little
car") being pushed by a man of possibly Muslim
appearance, with what he called a black beard. He says
he was walking behind the girl and the man for about
100 metres. At the time nothing unusual registered
with him.

He says he particularly noticed the girl's eyes and


Page 1335 (Page 2 of 2 )

that she smiled at him, catching his gaze for a few
seconds.

Days later, it was only when he saw a clearer picture
of Madeleine in a recent edition of Lux Magazine that
he suddenly realised she was the girl he had seen.

He says he phoned the Police several times, both in
Oporto and in the Algarve, but, he claims, they
'laughed' at his information. He says he felt very
surprised and found it incredible they did not at
least listen to him.

He says he is as certain as he could be that the girl
he saw was madeleine, particularly based on the eyes
he saw. He says he just wants to help now as "it is
his duty". He was apologetic that it has taken him so
long to come forward, but he kept stressing it was
only when he saw the recent magazine picture that he
realised who he had probably seen.

He doesn't sound like he has an axe to grind or an
agenda and sounds remarkably coherent for a pensioner.
He says he is perfectly happy to give his story to
both the British Police and the PJ if they are
interested, despite the earlier ridicule by local
Officers.

Sousa, (Note : Witnesses' surname), admits Porto is some 600 km north of Praia da
Luz, so it may well be completely off beam, but, as
discussed, I pass it on in case it is of value.

Talk soon.

I know this will sound very strange and I'm sure it will be a great inconvenience, but I urge you to ensure that the ship is checked thoroughly before anyone or anything is removed, even in particular any crates in cargo. A little British girl went missing whilst on holiday in Praia da Luz on 3rd May, Madeleine McCann, and I have strong reason to believe she had been taken on this ship, and in some way she is due to disembark at 8am tomorrow morning.

I appreciate anything that you can do within your power to eliminate this suggestion, or to find this beautiful little girl safe.

God bless you and thank you.

Subject : Op Task - Information from Gibraltar

Dear Martin,

We have just received information on the above-mentioned subject. Three male persons from Gibraltar (TA soldiers from the Royal Gibraltar Regiment) last week undertook Charity work in the Ourika Valley in Morocco, Near Marrakesh.
They used a 4x4 vehicle displaying posters of Madeleine McCann in English, French and Arabic. During a stop in the centre of Marrakesh, close to the Royal Mirage Hotel, they were approached by 2 Moroccan females stating that they knew of a French male who had shown them a digital photograph of his 'daughter' on a mobile phone and that it had striking similarities to that of Madeleine McCann..


(Note : Here, is a handwritten entry of 9 lines, in the Portuguese Language, dated 29th May 2007, which refers to a sighting, by 2 Moroccan females, of a digital photograph in Marrakesh, and reported by 3 TA soldiers. This entry may have overwritten part of this report)

I was alone when the statement was noted. It was signed in my notebook by the witness
States :
I have seen a lot of pictures of the missing young girl known as Madeleine McCann or Maddie. The young girl is the high profile missing person case abroad.

I went on holiday to Malta from 29th May 2007 till 5th June 2007 with my wife, Margaret Baker, and my 21 month old grandson. On Sunday 3rd June, I was walking in Malta alone heading for the car museum in Qawtrie. I was about a mile from the museum heading from Bejeeba when I saw a young girl who I believe is the missing girl Maddie. I got a good look at the girl and I was really struck by how much she looked like Maddie although I didn't get close enough to see the distinctive iris pattern she has, this would have been about 3pm.


Page 1414 (Page 2 of 2 )

The girl was with a man and woman but I never looked at the adults she was with. They were all standing looking at a novelty shop although the girl was about 10 steps from the adults and was being watched by the woman.

There was no indication anything was wrong, they just looked normal. The young girl didn't seem anxious or distressed in any way.

I can't remember any details about her clothing at all or of the adults she was with. The only thing I would say is the adults seemed that little bit older to have a young child that age.

I was struck by the similarity at the time but when I got back to this country I saw a newspaper report saying there had been a possible sighting in Valetta a few days earlier after I saw the child and Valetta is only about half an hour from where I'd seen this child.

In my own mind I'm convinced it's the same child or she has a twin. I was on the same side of the street so I had a really good look at the girl for a few minutes.

Sir,

Please make an Officer available to visit and take a statement if appropriate from :

Christine Thompson
Bxxxxxxx Cxxxxxxx
Pxxx Sxxxxx
Sibton
Saxmundham
Suffolk
Tele : 077174xxxxx

The above person has rang in to state that her neighbour was seen with a little girl whom she believed to be Madeleine. She described her as being a small blonde girl with big eyes wearing pink clothing. She stated that she was dressed and looked like the photographs seen of Madeleine. The sighting of the child was on the 29th May 2007.

Ms Thompson knows that the neighbours have a child/grandchild called Jxxxxxx, of about 4 years but this girl was definitely not Jxxxxxx. The neighbours have been abroad recently which has aroused her concerns.

She states that she only knows the couple as Mxxxxxx and Txxx. She also states that she has had problems with her neighbours in the past. I have checked voters and there is a Mxxxxxx Wxxxxx living at the address.

Can an Officer make some discreet enquiries (Intel checks etc) at the address to ascertain who the child was that Christine saw on 29th May 2007. Christine wishes to remain anonymous so as not to cause any further problems with her......

....neighbour although she does believe that the girl she saw was very similar to Madeleine. Christine can be contacted on her mobile telephone.

Once the enquiry (sic) can the Officer FAX a report, or, if appropriate, a statement to the following address :

Madeleine McCann

Officer's Report :

On Sunday 17th June 2007, I was on duty and working day shift at Neath Police Station. At approximately 10am and as a result of Information received I had cause to attend the Front Office where I spoke to a person who I know to be Richard Henry ENGLAND, DOB 4th January 1941, he is currently living with his son at : xx, Bxxx Txxxxxx, Melyn Court, Neath, Mobile : 079524xxxxx.
The subsequent checks have been carried out on ENGLAND, and there is a match on the PNC database. The PNC ID Number is 'xx/xxxxxxx'.

Mr. England is alleging that whilst on holiday in BARI, Southern Italy which he states is a non-tourist location ; he was parked up at the side of the road when his attention was drawn to a large lady who was walking with a young child. The first thing that he found suspicious was the fact that the lady showed no affection towards the child. As Mr. England was watching them the little girl turned around and looked straight at him, the first thing he noticed was her eyes, and upon seeing this, Madeleine McCann sprang to mind.
The witness continued to pay close attention on the female and the little girl, the little girl then said something to the female, the female then turned and looked at
the witness, she then gripped the little girl on her arm, and then went quickly back up the road to where they had originally walked down.

The witness, England, then saw the lady speak to somebody in a black Renault motor vehicle, registration number 'xx xxx xx', this vehicle then drove down the street towards the witness and a male driver then got out of the vehicle, and then tried to give the impression to the witness that he was looking for something. The male then got back into his car and then drove back up the road.
