Madeleine 'spotted holding hands with Muslim woman in Morocco'

DAILY MAIL - Last updated at 14:46pm on 25th September 2007

Police have been told about a third sighting of Madeleine McCann in Morocco, it was claimed this afternoon.

A Spanish woman says she saw Madeleine holding the hand of a "Muslim woman" in a town in the north of the country at the end of May - almost four weeks after she went missing in Portugal.

She said a gust of wind blew up the brim of the girl's hat and she recognised her from pictures which were being circulated around the world.

Two people have previously reported seeing a girl who looked just like Madeleine in Marrakech six days after she disappeared while on holiday with her family on 3 May. .....

Second tourist 'saw Maddy in Morocco'

METRO - UK - Sunday, September 23, 2007

A second sighting in Morocco of a girl who looked like Madeleine McCann has been revealed.

A tourist from Yorkshire contacted police to notify them of seeing someone who looked similar to Madeleine outside the Ibis Hotel in Marrakech on May 9, it emerged yesterday.

A Norwegian tourist had already claimed to have seen a child like four-year-old Madeleine at a petrol station in the city on that day.

The Briton was unaware of this first sighting, meaning police now have two independent reports from the same place.

Details of the second sighting were passed on to the Portuguese and Moroccan authorities, and parents Kate and Gerry McCann, but not disclosed to the media until now. .....

'Stop the car, there's Madeleine': Witness sees her dragged by Muslim woman

DAILY MAIL - Last updated at 16:54pm on 25th September 2007

A Spanish mother told today how she is convinced she saw Madeleine McCann being dragged across a street in Morocco.

The potential witness believes she spotted the missing girl with a woman in a headscarf crossing a road in the northern town of Zaio in May.

She said she told her husband to stop the car. "I shouted 'Stop! It's Madeleine, the missing girl.' But by the time we pulled over and ran back to where she had crossed, they had both vanished."

Two people have previously reported seeing a girl who looked just like Madeleine in Marrakech six days after she disappeared while on holiday with her family on 3 May.

The woman who made the latest sighting also gave a description of a couple - a blonde woman with a man with black hair and dark skin who was aged around 45 - which matched that given by the two earlier witnesses.

The claim came as Gerry McCann spoke of his feeling of "encouragement" at a renewed focus on the hunt for his daughter and police in Leicestershire said there is not sufficient evidence to charge him or his wife Kate.

The new sighting in the town of Zaio was reported to Portuguese and Spanish police. The woman says she was told that Madeleine was presumed to be dead.

The woman, who does not want to be named, said she went to her local paper when she learned of the other Morocco sightings.

She said: "I'm sure I saw her as I have the image of the girl imprinted on my mind. I saw a Muslim woman holding a girl by the hand.

"The girl was wearing a skirt and short-sleeved top, with hat on and her hair tied up. A gust of wind blew up the hat and I saw that it was Madeleine McCann."

The first sighting in Morocco came from a British tourist who contacted police to say he saw a "lost-looking" young girl at a petrol station in Marrakesh.

His testimony was similar to that of Norwegian tourist Marie Pollard who claimed she was "100 per cent convinced" she saw Madeleine at the same spot. Moroccan authorities took almost a month to examine the CCTV footage from the petrol station, by which time they found it had been erased.

The Spanish woman, from Malilla, on the northern coast of Morocco, said she was driving with her husband in their 4x4 when the incident happened.

She said by the time she persuaded her husband to turn the vehicle around, the Muslim woman and girl had disappeared.

She added: "We went looking and asking in the town, and by chance we saw a blonde woman with a man with black hair, dark skin, around 45 years old and 1.7metres (5ft 5ins) tall.

"Those are the same descriptions offered by the British and Norwegian people who reported seeing the girl in Marrakech." .....

If, indeed, the last sighting is Maddie, it appears that the perp has made a huge loop in their travels. Wonder why they appear to be moving in the Portugal direction? I suspect if the perp sees a newspaper and realizes that the entire world is on the alert for Maddie, they may turn her loose and high tail it out of Dodge... at least I hope that is what they do. I'm not sure they could sell her if that was the original intention, because of the widespread of people looking for her, although the 'underground' may have deep & very dark connections (perhaps even within the different LE agencies?).

'Madeleine photograph' being taken seriously

TELEGRAPH - By Caroline Gammell in Praia da Luz - Last Updated: 6:47pm BST 25/09/2007

Interpol is taking seriously a photograph that claims to show missing Madeleine McCann in Morocco.

The image of a little blond-haired girl was taken by a Spanish couple while they were on holiday there at the end of August.

It shows a fair haired young girl accompanied by a number of Moroccan adults.

On returning home to Albacete in south east Spain, the couple passed the picture on to the Spanish National Police provincial headquarters in the city.

Government official Jose Herrero Arcas said the photograph had then been handed over to Interpol.

He said: “The National Police received a photograph by email taken by a young Spanish couple who believe it shows Madeleine McCann.

The quality of the photograph is not very clear, and it was taken from around 200 meters away.

“However, the National Police are taking the claim seriously enough to have sent it on to their colleagues at Interpol.”

The development is the fourth reported sighting of Madeleine in the north African country.

Kate and Gerry McCann are convinced that she was abducted and have always considered Morocco as one of the most likely places that she could have been taken.

The couple travelled to the country in June to highlight their four-year-old’s disappearance.

News of the picture came as detectives in Britain said they believed there was not enough evidence to bring charges against the little girl’s parents.

Interpol investigating Moroccan photograph which may show Madeleine McCann

typicallyspanish.com - By h.b. - Sep 25, 2007 - 8:20 PM

Interpol is investigating a photograph taken in Morocco to see whether it could be linked to the Madeleine McCann case, the British four year old girl who disappeared from a holiday home on the Algarve on May 3.

The picture shows a group of people in what appears to be rural costume, with a small girl which looks like Madeleine being carried on the back of one of them.

It was taken by some Spanish tourists from Albacete who were visiting Morocco, and the Albacete Government Sub Delegation office has confirmed that the picture has been sent on to the National Police, who in turn have sent it on to Interpol.

The news of the photograph comes on the same day that the Portuguese prosecutor, Joao Cunha de Magalhaes Menezes, has warned the Portugese body that without a body being found a prosecution in the case would be unlikely.

New photograph shows child like Madeleine McCann on African woman’s back

From The Times - David Brown in Praia da Luz and Patrick Foster - September 26, 2007

A new snatched picture purporting to be of Madeleine McCann in north Morocco that was published tonight has generated new momentum in the search for her.

Gerry and Kate McCann called for the picture, taken on August 31 by a Spanish tourist, to be fully investigated.

It is the fourth reported sighting of a girl fitting Madeleine’s description in Morocco since she disappeared on May 3.

Clara Torres, the tourist from Albacete, Spain, who took the photograph, said tonight that she had taken the picture to the British Embassy this morning and spoken to the McCanns’ lawyer.

She told the Spanish radio station COPE that as soon as she took the picture in Zinat on the road between Chaouen to Tetuan in north Morocco, she had thought of the missing toddler. When she returned to Spain they downloaded the photographs and contacted police in Albacete.

She night: “Although it’s not 100 per cent certain, there’s a strong possibility it could be Madeleine and if it is it could provide a twist to everything that has happened.” The radio station reported that the girl was being carried on the back of a north African woman. Clarence Mitchell, a spokesman for the McCanns, said: “This picture was brought to the attention of the relevant authorities as soon as we received it. Kate and Gerry are naturally very keen for it it to be thoroughly investigated as quickly as possible.” .....

Could the girl in this picture be Madeleine McCann?

DAILY MAIL - Last updated at 22:59pm on 25th September 2007

A photogaph of a small girl with striking facial similarities to Madeleine McCann in the clutches of a group of Moroccans was being studied by Interpol detectives last night.

The grainy image, taken only four weeks ago, shows a blonde youngster being carried on the back of a dark-skinned woman in traditional North African dress with companions carrying their worldly possessions along a dusty roadside near Tangiers.

It is the fourth reported sighting of Madeleine in Morocco, the first two having come only six days after she disappeared.

Her anguished parents last night insisted they would not raise their hopes until forensic analysis had strengthened or ruled out suspicions that it could be her.

But their spokesman Clarence Mitchell said: "They are aware of the picture and are very interested in it."

The picture was emailed to them and they spent several minutes studying it. Privately the couple are understood to think it could be her, but the poor quality of the image has meant they simply cannot say with any certainty. .....

WOW! I think this picture looks just like Maddie. Who are these people and what are they doing with Maddie?

I don't see any blonde hair coming out from under this woman's scarf. Maybe it was gray hair.

That is too weird!!! What would they be doing with a Westerner anyway? What would they be doing with Maddie if it is her????

I think the girl looks a little bit younger than 4 but its hard to tell. The hair does seem remarkably similar in style, texture and growth pattern from what you can tell??? I think it looks very much like Maddie....could it be her??? Did anyone appraoch these people??

Jayelles · #17 09-26-2007, 09:21 AM

It would be wonderful if it did turn out to ber her but it isn't unknown for people in North Africa to have fair hair.

I couldn't help but notice the difference in the attire of the woman (?) with the child from those other persons with her (?). He/She looks 'overdone' to me, and it makes him/her stand out from the others. Maybe I am too suspicious?

Hi One2 Snoop,

I AGREE WITH YOU,
THE WAY THE LITTLE GIRL'S HAIR IS PARTED THE SAME WAY MADDIE'S IS ~~SHE IS A DEAD RINGER FOR MADDIE!
I saw this picture on Fox News this mornin and I think the 2 women in the pictures the one holding the little girl looks like a MAN,dressed as a peasant and so does the one behind them,in black and grey, it is a MAN not a woman.

I think it looks like little Maddie, I truly beleive this is MADDIE! According to FNC this mornin Morrocco is less then a hour or two from Portugal. But what strikes me as strange is that the Portugese authorites don't want to investigate it??

Louisadelmar · #20 09-26-2007, 10:43 AM

It looks like the girl in the photo has a cowlick on the left side.

andU · #21 09-26-2007, 10:44 AM

Ok, so I am not the only person questioning the gender of the being that is carrying Maddie - good to know. Yes, the person beside ths being is masculine, but not as much as the other one, although I don't know that women of Africa are quite as tall as this person in the black background top. I just got a feeling of 'this is bogus' when I viewed the picture for the first time, something isn't ringing true about it.

Yeah, but ya know what? In most of the other shots I've seen when Maddie's hair was parted, it was parted on the opposite side, could that cause the cowlick effect?

Hair partings can be changed. In fact, altering the hair parting can make someone look slightly different.

I wondered about that. I did a google search of Madeleine's images and there is one photo of her in a red shirt that has a hint of a cowlick on the left side even though her bangs are hanging down evenly. I hope someone asks the McCanns about a cowlick.

Jayelles · #25 09-26-2007, 11:26 AM

SkyNews are reporting "unofficial reports" that the photo is not Maddie. That the girl in the photo has been traced and that she belongs to a local farming family.

"Unofficial" report mind you. Skynews has been spectacularly wrong before!

I just heard on Fox News Edie Hill said The girl in the photo is NOT MADDIE they have interviewed her Mom and although she does have a striking resemblance to Maddie It IS NOT MADDIE. I don't know if I beleive that or not I am skeptical??

You know they say everyone has a double in this world and she sure looks like Maddie doesn't she?? I am not sure if Edie Hill's(FNC) report is from SkyNews or not??

Thanks. It hasn't come on the news here yet. I suppose it was unlikely that whomever has her would display her so openly. It must be awful for Kate and Gerry when this kind of "break" happens.

Also, look at the knot on the carrier going across the lady (?) in the second picture. There is no knot in the first picture, as far as what I can see. The first picture shows more of a strap, as opposed to what appears to be material knotted in the clearer picture. IMO.

Jayelles · #35 09-26-2007, 03:19 PM

I don't think there's any doubt that this is the same child. Look here at this better picture and you can see how the wind is blowing her rather fine hair all over the place.

Acording to the news bulletin that is her grandFATHER who is carrying her! However he is wearing a woman's blouse with shoulder pads so I'm not so sure.
