Hi again,

I just wonder if you want me to come to you and give my fully(sic) statement.

Maybe more easy for you to get all the details correct.

I live in Fuengirola, it's only 4 hours drive.

I am still sure it was her.

Thanks for any respond to my information !

Good luck

At the petrol station next to Hotel Ibis Palmeraie in Marrakesh. Address. Avenue Abdelkrim Khattabi. Wednesday 9th of May, about 10 am. I saw the girl inside the shop. She was wearing a clear blue pyjamas. Some pattern on the top, trousers little darker. Don't think the trousers had any pattern. She was very small. Under 1 meter. She was with a man. She was standing alone, the man about a meter from her. I looked at her because she was very sweet. And it was a strange situation because the man didn't look like her father. And its very strange to see a blond small girl standing alone in Marrakesh. She was very small and normally you would hold her in your arms or at least her hand. And the man was turning away from her. She looked sad. I looked in her face, she looked at me. Then she turned to the man and said something that sounds like : Can we see mommy soon ? : I am not sure if he reply. I turned around to pay my things, 2 bottle of water and some hygiene serviettes. I went in our car, looked for if they had a car, but could not see any special. I wanted to tell my husband , but we went busy with the driving to catch the ferry from Tangier to Tarifa. I didn't know about the missing child at that time. Because I had not watching the news when I was on holiday.

I saw the news on Thursday the 10th of may, in the evening. Then I remember what I saw in Marrakesh.

I started to phone the Police, Spanish and English.

The Spanish Police didn't want to talk to me. I talked to the English. Friday morning I gave my report to Katy Peters at Scotland Yard. She said someone was going to phone me. But I have not heard anything. I have emailed them and phone them several times. But no response. I am very worried and

From Anne Mari Olli


Anne asks if the police want her to come and make a statement. She lives in Fuengirola, only 4 hours away by car.

Anne says she was sure it was the girl.

She would be grateful for a reply.

At the service station close to the Hotel Ibis Palmeraie in Marrakesh, on 9th May at about 10.00 in the morning, Anne saw a girl inside the shop. She was wearing light blue pyjamas. She was with a man who was about a metre away from her. The man did not appear to be her father. The girl appeared sad and asked: Can we see Mummy soon?

At this time Anne did not yet know about the missing girl, when she found out, on the following day she phoned the Spanish and English police. The Spanish police did not want to speak to her, but she spoke to the English police, making a statement to Scotland Yard, to Katy Peters. They said they would phone her, but up until now there has been nothing.

Hello in Portugal.

I have read in the internet that a woman from Norway has seen a little girl in Marrakech and she is so sure that it was Maddy McCann.

She also said it was not very often that we see a white girl in Marrakech.

She said that she have seen her with a white man and the girl speak English.

I really wish to find the little Maddy back home again so we are many looking all over the internet.

I was looking on the ambassy France for Marrakech and saw some pictures in a gallery.
Its look like some kind of ceromonie. There is a white man with a bag of his shoulder and it look likes some little white girl are sitting behind him with short blue jeans. braun little shoe and wearing a red hat.
I don't think she is very old with this little legs and foot.
I read it as it was from the 8 og may 07.
I am not sure it means something in your case but send you the pictures and the link to the website.

Kindly a mother to a girl on 7 years.

Subject : Possible sighting by Marie Olli - Pollard in Marrakech.

Sir

Further to the details of the possible sighting in Marrakech reported to National Missing Persons Bureau, 11th May 2007, copy sent to you 18th May 2007 at 1739hrs.

I have just spoken to MARIE OLLI - POLLARD (19/05/62(sic) ) in more detail.
She has spoken with SKY NEWS, ITN NEWS, THE LEICESTER MERCURY & NSY regarding her reported sighting. MARIE feels that she is not being taken seriously and that Police are not doing any follow-up enquiries. I have taken further detail from her and reassured her that the information will be passed to Portugal where it will be assessed and acted upon as necessary.

MARIE stated that the possible sighting happened around 10am on Wednesday 9th May. She describes the location as a petrol station on the main highway from Casablanca to Marrakesh. It is the petrol station next to the IBIS Moussafir Marrakech Palmeraie and on the same side of the road as the hotel, just after the toll booths. She gave a street name as Avenue Abdelkrim Khattabi off the route de Casablanca.

MARIE was standing in the shop waiting to pay when she saw a small blonde haired girl standing about a metre away from her. She thought it was strange to see a blonde haired child in Marrakesh. The girl appeared to be with a white male, 35-40 years, 1.78m and slim build. He had short wavy dark brown hair and a thin face, although she did not see his face properly. He was wearing a baggy light grey / off white T-shirt, mid blue jeans and light coloured trainers. She is 75% sure she heard the little girl say to the male, 'CAN WE SEE MUMMY NOW ?'. She thinks he replied in a very quiet voice, 'SOON', but can't be sure.

MARIE described the little girl as white about 3-4 years old with light blond shoulder length straight hair. She thinks that she had green / blue eues and describes her face as sweet but looked a bit sad / confused. The girl was wearing a long sleeved light blue pyjama top with a pink pattern and slightly darker blue plain full length pyjama bottoms with pink shoes.

She had the girl in her sight at close range for about 3 minutes in total. The male looked like he was waiting for someone and she did not see him buy anything. At the time she thought it strange but did not mention it to her husband who was waiting in the car on the forecourt as they were preoccupied with finding their way to the ferry port. She did not look around the forecourt for vehicles that may belong to the male and girl, only recalls lorries.

At the time of this sighting MARIE was not aware of the incident in


Page 518 (Page 2 of 2)

Portugal and that Madeleine was missing.

Around 6pm the next day she saw the news and pictures of Madeleine and felt sickened as she was 99.9% sure that Madeleine was the little girl she had seen in Marrakesh. She remains 99% sure at this time. I have spoken to the Hotel Reception who gave the name of the garage as the CASA VOYAGUER, but there is no trace of a number with International Directory Enquiries.

Can enquiries be instigated to identify the petrol station and ascertain whether any CCTV is available.

MARIE is available on 00346526xxxxx

INFORMATION


According to information provided by a Norwegian citizen, Anne Marie Olli, which the attached electronic file refers to, on 9th May 2007, at about 10.00, she saw Madeleine at a petrol service station, close to the Hotel Ibis Palmeraie, in the city of Marrakech. She states that the girl was wearing blue pyjamas, with a pattern on the top half and pyjama bottoms that were slightly darker and plain. (The girl) was accompanied by a male individual who remained at a distance of 1 metre from the girl and who did not appear to be her father. At a given moment, not being sure if these were the words said, she think that the girl, addressing the individual, said “can we see mommy soon?”, to which he did not reply.


After having paid, the citizen (AMO) left the shop and went to her car, not having turned to observe the girl and her supposed companion.

On the following day, 10th May, in the evening, upon seeing the news and as she had not previously been aware of the situation regarding the disappearance of Madeleine McCann, she was sure that it was her.

In spite of the fact that the information in the email, in our opinion, is coherent and credible, we made phone contact with Anne Olli, who corroborated the email’s contents. She was asked if she was certain that this was the missing girl and she replied affirmatively. She said the girl had very pale skin, blond hair and green eyes, she did not notice any detail in the retina of the right eye. She would have been almost four years old and about a metre tall. As regards her clothing, she says it was of blue cloth and could have been pyjamas or long summer clothing.

She adds that the petrol station was almost next to a hotel, in a street called Abdel Krim Qhattabi.

Given this information, we contacted the French embassy, speaking to Jorge Barbosa, as this entity has a liaison officer in Paris. This contact was made by phone and email, which is attached.

In reply we were informed, that as indicated by the Director of the DCCB, personnel from the British Embassy were carrying out inquiries related to this information, aiming to establish whether images existed.

We later found out that the images were not available on VHS recording, as they are of a short duration, done by recording over, however there could be images from other shops in the area that could be recorded on a hard disk system, however, up until now these have not been collected due to technical difficulties.

We also emphasise that we contacted the Director of the Moroccan PJ, Mr Mouzouni, one of his advisers having confirmed that the request for images had been made by the British authorities, who were making efforts to obtain them.

We also contacted the director of the Afriquia Petrol company which manages the petrol station, identified as Mr Ouassi, who confirmed that the images of the petrol station were not available, as they are only kept for a few days.

With no more to report.

Subject : Gazeta Digital - Report sent to British Police by Mrs Mari Olli about Madeleine's sighting in Morocco.

Mari Olli, a Norwegian and a retired social worker, 45 years old, lives in Spain, Malaga, with her husband. The couple has been on holidays in Agadir, Morocco, when Madeleine was abducted. They knew nothing about it, as they didn't watch news while on holidays. They were returning to Spain and they stopped at Marrakesh, for the night of May 8th to 9th. Early in the morning they drove their car to Tarifa, to catch a ferryboat back home. They stopped at a gas station to buy some water and that was the place where Mrs Olli says she saw Madeleine.
This is the report that she sent by email, to British Police, after she tried without success, to give information to Spanish Police (and not to Portuguese Police, as some wrongly wrote) :

"At the petrol station next to Hotel Ibis Palmeraie in Marrakesh. Address. Avenue Abdelkrim Khattabi. Wednesday 9th of May, about 10 am. I saw the girl inside the shop. She was wearing a clear blue pyjamas. Some pattern on the top, trousers little darker. Don't think the trousers had any pattern. She was very small. Under 1 meter. She was with a man.

And the man was turning away from her. She looked sad. I looked in her face, she looked at me. Then she turned to the man and said something that sounds like : Can we see mommy soon ? : I am not sure if he reply. I turned around to pay my things, 2 bottle of water and some hygiene serviettes. I went in our car, looked for if they had a car, but could not see any special. I wanted to tell my husband , but we went busy with the driving to catch the ferry from Tangier to Tarifa.

(Note : Here, the report ends abruptly. The following page (Page 570) is a "Missing or Misplaced" page)

However, from previous records of Mari Olli's report, we know that her report continued thus :


"and phone them several times. But no response. I am very worried and very sure that this was that girl. Her face is very special. And that situation was very strange !

Sir

Further to the details of the possible sighting in Marrakech reported to National Missing Persons Bureau, 11th May 2007, copy sent to you 18th May 2007 at 1739hrs.

I have just spoken to MARIE OLLI - POLLARD (19/05/62(sic) ) in more detail.
She has spoken with SKY NEWS, ITN NEWS, THE LEICESTER MERCURY & NSY regarding her reported sighting. MARIE feels that she is not being taken seriously and that Police are not doing any follow-up enquiries. I have taken further detail from her and reassured her that the information will be passed to Portugal where it will be assessed and acted upon as necessary.

MARIE stated that the possible sighting happened around 10am on Wednesday 9th May. She describes the location as a petrol station on the main highway from Casablanca to Marrakesh. It is the petrol station next to the IBIS Moussafir Marrakech Palmeraie and on the same side of the road as the hotel, just after the toll booths. She gave a street name as Avenue Abdelkrim Khattabi off the route de Casablanca.

MARIE was standing in the shop waiting to pay when she saw a small blonde haired girl standing about a metre away from her. She thought it was strange to see a blonde haired child in Marrakesh. The girl appeared to be with a white male, 35-40 years, 1.78m and slim build. He had short wavy dark brown hair and a thin face, although she did not see his face properly. He was wearing a baggy light grey / off white T-shirt, mid blue jeans and light coloured trainers. She is 75% sure she heard the little girl say to the male, 'CAN WE SEE MUMMY NOW ?'. She thinks he replied in a very quiet voice, 'SOON', but can't be sure.

MARIE described the little girl as white about 3-4 years old with light blond shoulder length straight hair. She thinks that she had green / blue eues and describes her face as sweet but looked a bit sad / confused. The girl was wearing a long sleeved light blue pyjama top with a pink pattern and slightly darker blue plain full length pyjama bottoms with pink shoes.

She had the girl in her sight at close range for about 3 minutes in total. The male looked like he was waiting for someone and she did not see him buy anything. At the time she thought it strange but did not mention it to her husband who was waiting in the car on the forecourt as they were preoccupied with finding their way to the ferry port. She did not look around the forecourt for vehicles that may belong to the male and girl, only recalls lorries.

At the time of this sighting MARIE was not aware of the incident in Portugal and that Madeleine was missing.

Around 6pm the next day she saw the news and pictures of Madeleine and felt sickened as she was 99.9% sure that Madeleine was the little girl she had seen in Marrakesh. She remains 99% sure at this time. I have spoken to the Hotel Reception who gave the name of the garage as the CASA VOYAGUER, but there is no trace of a number with International Directory Enquiries.

Can enquiries be instigated to identify the petrol station and ascertain whether any CCTV is available.

MARIE is available on 00346526xxxxx
