FOUR months after Maddie’s disappearance, a blonde child being carried on the back of a Moroccan woman sparked hopes that she’d been found.
In reality, it was 5-year-old Bushra Binhisa, the daughter of local olive farmers.

WERE Maddie’s snatchers Benfica fans?
When a blonde girl was pictured in the stands watching a Europa League final between the Portuguese team and Seville, Twitter went in to meltdown.

A BLONDE tot was seen being led by the hand by a woman of North African appearance in 2008.
The pair were spotted in a branch of KBC Bank in the west of Brussels by an eagle-eyed security guard.

A GERMAN holidaymaker has claimed he saw Madeleine McCann aboard a flight from Ibiza to Munich.
Frank Bode, 42, was returning home to Germany earlier this month following a five-day break in Spain when he caught sight of a girl that immediately reminded him of the missing toddler.
“My intuition told me that the girl, who was around seven to 10 years old, could be Madeleine,” Bode told the Olive Press.
“She didn’t seem to fit with her family at all. Her father was clearly German, as were her two brothers, both around 10 to 12 years old, but her mother appeared to be British.
“They were all speaking German except for the girl, who I clearly heard speaking British English.”
He continued: “The two boys were touching her strangely and the girl seemed totally out of place – nervous, stuttering, just not normal. And her mother, who bore no resemblance to the girl, was a strange woman and didn’t talk the entire trip.
“I was never very interested in the case but my instincts told me something was up, and I’m almost never wrong about these kinds of things,” added Bode, a sales manager for a currency printing company.
“I took a photo and showed it to some of my friends who agreed it could definitely be Maddie.”
Bode was so convinced the girl on his Lufthansa flight was Maddie, who disappeared from Portugal in 2007, he immediately contacted the British police.
“The woman at the hotline said it is on file, but that’s all she said.
“I’m mainly interested in the family getting the photo, but it’s difficult to find a channel through which to contact them.”
When the Olive Press contacted British police about Bode’s report, they said: “At this time we cannot find any record of his information.”

I saw Madeleine McCann playing outside Costa del Sol beach restaurant
A BRITISH expat has come forward believing to have seen Maddie McCann in Nerja – exactly five years since her disappearance.
Rose Johnson, 70, reckons she saw the missing girl playing on Penoncillo beach – between Torrox and Nerja – last summer.
The Frigiliana-based pensioner hopes her sighting will help Portuguese police who sensationally sent a request to their Spanish counterparts to investigate other sightings in Nerja just a fortnight ago.
The former cleaner, who has lived in the area for a decade, has spoken out after reading an article in the Olive Press, last issue.
She revealed how she had made the sighting while eating at Merendero restaurant with her partner in August last year.
“We were quite taken aback when we saw this Maddie look-a-like walk off the beach and join a table of what we could only describe as a party of Spanish people or similar,” said Johnson.

DETECTIVES searching for Madeleine McCann are following up fresh clues from a potential sighting on Spain’s Costa del Sol.
A blonde girl identical to Madeleine was seen at a campsite there three days after she was snatched a few hours drive away in Praia da Luz, Portugal, on May 3, 2007.
A witness said the groggy-looking child seemed alienated from the German family she was staying with in a caravan.
Now Brit cops have been told the family paid extra for bringing one child more than expected when they arrived at the site on May 6.
And questions over the number plates on their car have raised fears they could have been fakes used to dodge detection.
Holidaymaker Karen Sisson, 49, who saw the child at the Cabopino campsite, near Fuengirola, said she got no response from cops when she raised the alarm at the time.

Ivan Mochacho, who works at a beachfront restaurant visited by Kate and Gerry McCann, told police of a 'strange man' taking pictures at Zavial beach
By David Harrison in Praia da Luz
2:11PM BST 09 Aug 2008
Officers received several complaints from holidaymakers about a man they had seen behaving strangely near Praia da Luz, where the McCann family was staying.
The revelation will add weight to the theory that Madeleine was snatched to order by an international paedophile gang after being photographed by a "spotter".

MARTIN AND MARY SMITH (? and 59) Year 2007
According to their deposition to PJ, Martin Smith, his wife (Mary) and his children, after leaving the Kelly bar, which is located approximately 400 metres from the Ocean Club, around 9.50 / 10.00 p.m., saw an individual described as caucasian, measuring 1.70 - 1.75 m, walking towards the beach. The Irish man told Sol that he knew Robert Murat (the only arguido in the process) visually for years and also remembered seeing the anglo-portuguese man in a bar that evening, "already a bit intoxicated". Therefore, the Irish dismissed the possibility that the person he saw carrying a child could be Murat. "If it was him, I guarantee to you that I would have recognized him".

Child rapist quizzed in Madeleine McCann disappearance died while serving sentence at Devon prison
The 69-year-old, who was an inmate at Channings Wood prison, died of natural causes after being taken to Torbay Hospital
26th September 2017
A convicted child rapist, who was quizzed as a suspect over Madeleine McCann’s disappearance, died of natural causes while serving a 17-year prison sentence in Devon, a coroner has ruled.
Anthony Woodhouse, 69, who was jailed in 2008, was an inmate at Channings Wood Prison in Denbury, near Newton Abbot – where in 2014 he was interviewed by Scotland Yard detectives investigating the disappearance of three-year-old Madeleine McCann from a holiday apartment in Portugal.
An inquest in [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] on Tuesday heard that Birmingham-born Woodhouse died of natural causes at Torbay Hospital on March 1, having been admitted to hospital on February 21. There is a statutory requirement for the coroner to hold an inquest when someone has died while in the custody of the state.
Dr Ryan Miller from Torbay Hospital said in a statement that Woodhouse was admitted to hospital on February 21 with abdominal pain and rectal bleeding. The diagnosis was alcohol-induced liver cirrhosis. Dr Miller said: “He remained critically unwell but stable until the day of the death when his condition deteriorated. He died on March 1.”
Coroner Ian Arrow recorded the medical cause of death as gastric variceal haemorrhage, liver cirrhosis, alcohol dependent syndrome, and pneumonia.
Woodhouse spent more than 10 years on the run in Portugal after raping a 14-year-old girl, who became pregnant, in Hertfordshire in 1998. He was jailed for 17 years in 2008 after giving himself up to the British Embassy in Lisbon.
It has been claimed that detectives spoke to Woodhouse in March about a cleaning business he ran in the Algarve, close to where Madeleine McCann went missing from a holiday apartment in 2007, while her parents Kate and Gerry McCann were out having dinner.
Coroner Ian Arrow recorded a natural causes death. A representative from the prison attended the inquest. There were no members of his family present.

ISABEL GONZALEZ AND JAVIER GALLEGO (60 and 61) Year 2007
Isabel Gonzalez, a Spaniard, also said she was certain she saw Madeleine being dragged along a street by a Muslim woman in the remote northern town of Zaio, in the north of Morocco, at the end of May. She said she saw a "sad and scared" blonde girl being dragged across a street by a woman in a Muslim headscarf. She told how she and her husband, Javier Gallego (a retired Spanish air force helicopter pilot), were on a day trip from their home in Melilla, a Spanish enclave in North Africa, when they believe they saw Madeleine. They were driving when the Muslim woman walked out into the road in front of them, "walking very fast and dragging a young blonde girl with her".

Re: 'Suspect/Sighting of the Day': A list of known suspects in the Madeleine McCann case
Maddie suspect images chilled me to the bone
By IRINA WILKIE
20th October 2013, 11:18 pm
Updated: 5th April 2016, 2:08 pm
THE daughter of a woman murdered by two paedophiles told last night how she
was “chilled to the bone” by the killers’ likeness to suspects wanted in the
Madeleine McCann case.
Elizabeth McGarrigle was shocked by the fiends’ resemblance to e-fit pictures
of two men being hunted by detectives investigating Madeleine’s
disappearance.
Brutal Charles O’Neill and William Lauchlan slaughtered her mum Allison when
she threatened to expose them as child abusers.
And tormented Elizabeth, 32, of Glasgow, revealed she has been haunted by the
two e-fit images since they were shown on TV last week. She said: “The
e-fits of the main suspects in the Madeleine case chilled me to the bone.
“When I saw those pictures I thought, ‘That’s Charlie O’Neill and William
Lauchlan’.
“Then I started thinking about how they were abroad at the time and how they
were involved in a business.”
We told yesterday how O’Neill, 50, and 36-year-old Lauchlan had come under the
police spotlight after officers questioned their friend Ewan Wilson.

‘I hope with my heart she’s alive’ The 62-year-old had given the pair a home
after they served time in prison — and police hope he can tell them exactly
where they were when Madeleine disappeared in Portugal in 2007, aged three.
The fiends had run a cleaning business across Europe. Cops have previously
claimed cleaners could be suspects and officers from Leicestershire Police
quizzed them over the missing girl two years ago.
Elizabeth added: “The police told me before, when they were investigating my
mum’s death, that those two had been questioned over Maddie. That really
chilled me.”
The mugshots were featured on BBC’s Crimewatch last week, sparking a flood of
calls to police.
And Elizabeth was immediately struck by the striking resemblance to evil
O’Neill and Lauchlan — and contacted the police.
Allison, 39, had been living with the beasts in Largs, Ayrshire, in 1997 when
they killed her because she was about to expose them as paedophiles. The
twisted pair have never revealed where they dumped the tragic mum-of-three’s
body, leaving her daughter with a desperate search for answers.
And Elizabeth told how Madeleine’s parents Kate and Gerry faced the same
torment of not knowing what has happened to their daughter.
She said: “It broke my heart when I saw the documentary about Maddie. Kate
looked totally distraught. She looks how I feel. It is the not knowing that
hurts. I just hope with my whole heart that Maddie is alive.”
Lauchlan and O’Neill were caged in 1998 for sex attacks on young boys then
fled to Spain after being released. In 2004, the beasts were found guilty of
a targeting on a 15-year-old boy in Benidorm.
They headed back to Spain on fake passports in 2006 and formed Rainbow
Cleaning Services.

The pair were thought to be living in Gran Canaria when seven-year-old Yeremi
Vargas vanished while playing near his home.
Just weeks later, Madeleine disappeared from her parents’ holiday villa in
Praia da Luz.
The pair were first charged with Allison’s murder in 2005, but were not
indicted.
But in 2010 they were convicted of her killing following a trial at the High
Court in Glasgow and are now serving life sentences.
Elizabeth said: “I wanted to shout at them in court and tell them what I
thought of them, but I was warned not to.
“I told my mum not to trust them, but they preyed on her.”
She added: “Those two tied her to a chair and wouldn’t let her leave the
house.
“They wouldn’t let her out because they knew she had too much on them and was
prepared to speak out when others had failed to do so.
“I get so depressed — I think about my mum every single day, she was a
brilliant mum.” Shattered Elizabeth admitted she is desperate to grill her
mum’s killers, but fears the callous pair would enjoy seeing her suffering.
She said: “I sometimes think about writing a letter and asking them what they
have done with my mum’s body.
“The police did ask me to go and visit them in prison to ask them, but I was
too scared — in case I attacked them.
“They would probably turn nasty if I sent them a letter. They are manipulative
and would probably enjoy turning the knife.”
BRUTES WON’T TALK
O’NEILL and Lauchlan refused to talk to private detectives hired by the
McCanns.
A prison officer at Glasgow’s Barlinnie Jail alerted the PIs that a sketch of
a possible Maddie suspect strongly resembled O’Neill.
He was on remand at the prison with Lauchlan, charged with murder and child
sex offences. The drawing was made by a witness who saw a “spotty” man
acting suspiciously near the McCanns’ apartment in Portugal in 2007.
The PIs made several requests to meet the evil pair in jail. A Scottish
prisons spokesman said: “We’re not able to comment.”

And Elizabeth was immediately struck by the striking resemblance to evil
O’Neill and Lauchlan — and contacted the police.
Allison, 39, had been living with the beasts in Largs, Ayrshire, in 1997 when
they killed her because she was about to expose them as paedophiles. The
twisted pair have never revealed where they dumped the tragic mum-of-three’s
body, leaving her daughter with a desperate search for answers.
And Elizabeth told how Madeleine’s parents Kate and Gerry faced the same
torment of not knowing what has happened to their daughter.
She said: “It broke my heart when I saw the documentary about Maddie. Kate
looked totally distraught. She looks how I feel. It is the not knowing that
hurts. I just hope with my whole heart that Maddie is alive.”
Lauchlan and O’Neill were caged in 1998 for sex attacks on young boys then
fled to Spain after being released. In 2004, the beasts were found guilty of
a targeting on a 15-year-old boy in Benidorm.
They headed back to Spain on fake passports in 2006 and formed Rainbow
Cleaning Services.

The pair were thought to be living in Gran Canaria when seven-year-old Yeremi
Vargas vanished while playing near his home.
Just weeks later, Madeleine disappeared from her parents’ holiday villa in
Praia da Luz.
The pair were first charged with Allison’s murder in 2005, but were not
indicted.
But in 2010 they were convicted of her killing following a trial at the High
Court in Glasgow and are now serving life sentences.
Elizabeth said: “I wanted to shout at them in court and tell them what I
thought of them, but I was warned not to.
“I told my mum not to trust them, but they preyed on her.”
She added: “Those two tied her to a chair and wouldn’t let her leave the
house.
“They wouldn’t let her out because they knew she had too much on them and was
prepared to speak out when others had failed to do so.
“I get so depressed — I think about my mum every single day, she was a
brilliant mum.” Shattered Elizabeth admitted she is desperate to grill her
mum’s killers, but fears the callous pair would enjoy seeing her suffering.
She said: “I sometimes think about writing a letter and asking them what they
have done with my mum’s body.
“The police did ask me to go and visit them in prison to ask them, but I was
too scared — in case I attacked them.
“They would probably turn nasty if I sent them a letter. They are manipulative
and would probably enjoy turning the knife.”
BRUTES WON’T TALK
O’NEILL and Lauchlan refused to talk to private detectives hired by theMcCanns.
A prison officer at Glasgow’s Barlinnie Jail alerted the PIs that a sketch of
a possible Maddie suspect strongly resembled O’Neill.
He was on remand at the prison with Lauchlan, charged with murder and child
sex offences. The drawing was made by a witness who saw a “spotty” man
acting suspiciously near the McCanns’ apartment in Portugal in 2007.
The PIs made several requests to meet the evil pair in jail. A Scottish
prisons spokesman said: “We’re not able to comment.”

MAJID JAZOULI (43) Year 2007
Investigators scouring Morocco for Madeleine McCann are preparing to narrow their search to an isolated farm in the Rif Mountains, it was claimed today.
The move follows reports a "little blonde girl" was seen at a compound a short distance outside the town of Karia Ba Mohamed.
Witnesses say they have spotted a child of about Madeleine's age living with a woman in her 40s and a teenage girl, a report which detectives are said to have described as "highly credible".
Speaking last night, resident Majid Jazouli, 43,who claims 15 people can back up his story, said: "The little blonde girl was seen about a month ago at a farm on the outskirts of Karia.
"I sent a boy inside the compound to verify it, and he said there was a blonde girl there. I could not go in there myself because I am a stranger and that would be against our culture."
Moroccan police appear to have been slow to respond to teacher Mr Jazouli's information so he contacted the Madeleine hotline.
Private detectives working for the McCanns are now understood to have moved into the area, according to the Daily Express.
Karia Ba Mohamed, a remote and barren Moroccan town nestling in mountatins near the city of Fes, is far from the tourist traps of the country's north coast.
It is home to a working-class farming community where Western faces are rarely seen.
Last month however, the attention of detectives scouring the world for the missing four-year-old was abruptly drawn to its dusty streets after a sighting by a schools inspector.

Re: 'Suspect/Sighting of the Day': A list of known suspects in the Madeleine McCann case
Naoual Malhi says men claiming to work for the Morocco's crime barons have warned her to keep her mouth shut
Naoual Malhi, 24, says men claiming to work for the country's crime barons have warned her to keep her mouth shut about what she saw - and ditch plans to probe the sighting herself.
The mum-of-one, whose daughter Ines is Madeleine's age, has told how one growled: "Let this lie if you know what's good for you, your daughter and the rest of your family, otherwise you're a dead woman next time you're in Morocco."
But brave Naoual is pressing ahead with plans to defy the threats and return to her homeland to look for the girl she saw.
She is also getting the calls - which come from withheld numbers - taped so she can hand them over to police helping in the hunt for the missing four-year-old.
Naoual, who lives near Marbella, Spain, said: "I'm not frightened by the mafia.
"It's obvious I'm on to something otherwise they wouldn't be calling.
"They've warned me I'm going to be killed next time I step on Moroccan soil unless I shut my mouth about Madeleine.
"But I know the girl I saw getting into that taxi was her and I'm not going to stop until I find her.
Spanish woman Naoual Malhi claims to have seen Madeleine McCann being bundled into a taxi in Morocco
"We're taping all the phone calls and I'm going to give them to police to investigate.
"It could provide them with another good clue to her whereabouts."
Naoual claims to have seen a blonde girl with Madeleine's distinctive right iris in the arms of a middle-aged woman in Fnideq, northern Morocco, at the end of September.
She lost them after they headed to the former Spanish garrison town of Al Hoceima, further east along the Mediterranean coast.
Last month she travelled to north Africa with private investigators working for the McCanns - and says she received hundreds of phone calls from people who had seen the pair in various locations in Morocco's Rif Mountains.
They were last spotted in the remote town of Karia Ba Mohamed near Fez - but the trail is now thought to have gone cold.
Naoual says she and her family have been receiving death threats on a Moroccan mobile she put on a picture poster of Madeleine distributed throughout the area.
Kate and Gerry McCann consider Naoual's information to be 'highly credible'
Her Fez-based family have been answering the phone and taking information down from callers since she returned to Spain on October 16.
Kate and Gerry McCann believe Morocco is the place their daughter is most likely to be - and consider Naoual's information to be "highly credible".
They insist Portuguese police are wrong in believing Madeleine died by accident in their apartment on May 3 when she was last seen - and they disposed of her body.
Naoual, who describes herself as a qualified doctor, said: "All I want to do is reunite the McCanns with their daughter.
Detectives working on behalf of the McCanns have been focusing their attention on the remote Rif Mountains
"I have a young girl the same age so I know how they must feel.
"There is no doubt in my mind Madeleine is in Morocco. Blonde girls are highly sought after there. I suspect the woman she is with is looking after for someone until she is old enough to be forced into child prostitution.
"After the death threats I've received, I'm more certain than ever that that someone is the Moroccan mafia.
"It's not nice to get these calls. But they just make me more determined to get to the bottom of this. I'm preparing to return to Morocco as soon as I can."
Metodo 3, the private investigators working for the McCanns, has said it also believes Madeleine is alive and being held against her will in Morocco.
They are currently trawling lists of Portuguese paedophiles in the belief a local man stole her to order from her Algarve apartment and took her to Morocco after crossing the border with Spain hours after the snatch.
A Norwegian tourist and two Spanish tourists have also reported sightings in the north African country.
A newspaper reported at the weekend that criminal Godfathers in Morocco have been told police will scale back drug busts against them if they agree to help the Madeleine probe.
Police chiefs in Morocco have angrily denied their country is a child sex haven and say their searches for Madeleine have produced no evidence she is there.

Maddie lookalike quizzed by cops
Jon Hazelhurst with his stepdaughter, Devon England
Jon Hazlehurst and eight-year-old Lauren were at home when officers arrived at their doorstep and asked them to go to a police station.
A member of the public had seen the pair at a petrol station the day before and thought blonde Lauren was missing Maddie.
The concerned witness had noted down Mr Hazelhurst's car registration plate and immediately notified police.
Officers then visited the family home and Jon and Lauren were taken to a police station for an identification process.
Mr Hazelhurst, of Kingsbridge, Devon, said he thought it was a ''prank''.
He said: ''I was surprised more than anything. My first thought was that it was someone pulling a prank on me before I realised that they were quite serious.
''I've never been called into a police station as a possible kidnapper. The police were very polite and I understood that they had to follow up the lead, even if it didn't come to anything.
''There's always a chance a tip-off like that might lead them to Madeleine.''
Mr Hazelhurst and Lauren pulled in for petrol on their way back from walking their dog at nearby Slapton beach on Sunday.
The following morning officers knocked on Mr Hazlehurst's door asking him and his step-daughter to come to Kingsbridge police station.
The pair went with the officers but were later released after they were identified and it was proved that she was not Maddie.
Sgt Paul O'Neill, of Kingsbridge Police, said Lauren did bear a resemblance to Madeleine McCann - except for a different eye colour.
He added: ''I thank the lady for bringing it to our attention. She did well to spot the little girl and inform us. Fortunately, the parent was more than willing to help.''
Madeleine McCann disappeared in May 2007 while on holiday with her parents and twin siblings in the Algarve region of Portugal.
She went missing a few days before her fourth birthday and would be six years old now.

British couple tried to 'rescue' Maddy lookalike... from a Croatian football star and his model wife
When two British tourists spotted a woman leading a child with long blonde hair on the Croatian holiday island of Krk, they immediately thought it was Madeleine McCann.
The couple became even more convinced that the youngster was the missing Briton after secretly taking a couple of photographs.
So when the adult leading the child was not looking, the British woman grabbed the youngster's arm.

Maddie double who cried 'help me'
Canadian broadcasters were stunned when distressed callers phoned in claiming they had accidentally filmed the youngster the world had been searching for.
A blonde girl was shown singing during CBC’s Newsworld programme the day after the second anniversary of Maddie’s disappearance.
She looked just like an image FBI artists had produced of how the missing child would look, aged six.
TV bosses cut the clip from later bulletins on 4 May, 2009, after shocked viewers called police.
Detectives seized the footage and filed it among 2,000 pages of evidence, which have been archived since the case was shelved by Portugual’s law chiefs in July 2008.
The DVD, gathering dust on a police HQ shelf, was unveiled this week after the Daily Star made an application to the state prosecutor. Police did not trace the girl, one of thousands of schoolkids taking part in Canada’s nationwide synchronised singathon. Immediately after the event was broadcast a woman from Toronto, convinced it was Maddie, phoned in “very upset and crying’’.
Madeleine, who disappeared from a Portuguese holiday apartment on May 3, 2007 – days short of her fourth birthday – would have been nearly six. Her doctor parents Kate and Gerry, both 41, had just released a new image (pictured above) showing how she would have looked. It is one of hundreds of ignored leads since police gave up.
Another was a Norwegian holidaymaker claiming he saw Madeleine begging for help at the Landzeit Hotel in St Valentin, Austria, three months after her disappearance.
The man and his wife were dining when a young girl on the arm of a man walked past their table and said: “Help me!’’
Police checked the hotel’s database but had no joy.
Yesterday we revealed the McCanns’ private investigators are probing the possibility she was held in an orange grove shack by “gipsy’’ child-snatchers in Silves, 30 miles from Praia Da Luz, Algarve. But a cleaner and teacher deny any involvement.
The case files reveal detectives ignored UK police warnings about a suspicious British worker, in his 30s, at a sister resort to the Ocean Club, where Madeleine disappeared.
They urged them to investigate after a holidaymaker accused him of inappropriate sexual behaviour after going into their nine-year-old daughter’s room. Last night New Zealand police said they had traced the Maddie lookalike caught on a Dunedin supermarket’s CCTV in 2007. Insp Dave Campbell ruled out any link.

'Can we go back now?': Plea by Madeleine lookalike in Brussels bank just one week ago
A British girl who looked like Madeleine McCann was spotted in Belgium a week ago, begging the woman with her: 'Can we go back now?'.
The blonde, blue-eyed girl was overheard making the plea in English by a security guard in a KBC bank in Brussels.
He was so convinced she was Madeleine after spotting the pair on CCTV footage last Monday that he ran out of the bank after they left.
Police are now trawling through the tapes in the hope of finding any clues and a copy has been passed to Kate and Gerry McCann's private detective team.
They show the pair walking along the quiet streets of Brussels towards a canal. At one point, the girl wriggles away and pulls at the woman's hand with both of hers.
The security guard, who has not been named, did not believe the woman with the girl was her mother because they did not look alike.
She was dark-skinned, apparently North African or Arabic, and wearing a hijab head-dress and spoke in a different language.

MARINA DUGANDZIC (39) and MONIKA PANDZA Year 2007
November 14,2007
A WITNESS came forward last night to accuse Bosnian police of lying over a suspected sighting of Madeleine McCann near a famous Catholic shrine.
An unnamed Northern Irish pilgrim claimed he had seen a blonde girl being pushed into a car against her will in Medjugorje near Mostar.
He said she was with a swarthy, foreign-speaking couple. Yet, as the man tried to silence her, she yelled in an English accent: “I want my Daddy”.
He said he reported his suspicions to local police 12 days ago, but they are still denying it.
Last night local shop assistant Marina Dugandzic, 39, backed up the Irishman’s story.
She said a tourist came into her shop and was very animated, asking if any English-speaking locals could help him because he was having difficulty getting police to understand him.
She said: “He did not mention the name of Maddie McCann or tell us his name.
“However, he said that he had seen someone pushing a little girl into a black VW Golf with Bosnian number plates.
“Our colleague Monika Pandza, an English language professor, translated his words.”
She said the father of six, from Fermanagh, even gave police the number plate for the car the couple sped off in.
He had told her: “I was about to speak to the child when the man put his hand over her mouth and shoved her into the car.”
But Bosnian police still deny receiving the tip-off.
Spokesman Mario Bosnjak said last night: “Every single policeman in Medjugorje has denied receiving any kind of a report regarding the British girl.
“It is possible he spoke to a customs official or a security guard. They have similar uniforms.”

Hannie Wiechmann, 71, said she saw a girl resembling Madeleine in the Dutch capital
Email warning that Madeleine was 'stolen' by Belgian paedophile ring took six weeks to reach Portuguese police
An e-mail from British police warning that Madeleine McCann could have been abducted by a Belgian paedophile ring took six weeks to reach detectives in Portugal, it emerged today.
The Metropolitan Police in London received a tip-off 10 months after Madeleine vanished that she had been stolen to order after a 'spotter' saw her on holiday in the Algarve and sent her photograph to the gang's leaders.
Details of the confidential e-mail were revealed in the secret police files made public this week.
But the documents contain no explanation as to why the message sent on March 5 this year by the Met's vice intelligence unit to Leicestershire police, who were co-ordinating the British end of the investigation, was only passed on to officers in Portugal on April 21.
Inspector Ricardo Paiva, one of the detectives working on the case, then sent it to Lisbon Interpol a week later asking them to investigate the claim as a matter of urgency.
More than a month later, Interpol replied that some of the information gathered from around Europe was not credible.
On May 27, Lisbon Interpol sent a further urgent message requesting information but received an undated fax claiming there was nothing to add.
The revelation of a possible link to Belgium – the scene of several notorious child sex cases - came as a second woman claimed to have seen the missing girl in neighbouring Holland.
Another sighting, in Belgium itself just 12 days after Madeleine vanished, was also revealed today.
Earlier this week it was revealed that Amsterdam shop worker Anna Stam told police within days of Madeleine's disappearance in May last year that she thought she had seen her.
The report was passed to Portugal, but never followed up. Yesterday Hannie Wiechmann, 71, said she saw a girl resembling Madeleine in the Dutch capital at around the same time.
She said the child's hair had been badly cut and partially dyed red. She was with a woman who was pacing up and down beside a canal.

Email warning that Madeleine was 'stolen' by Belgian paedophile ring took six weeks to reach Portuguese police
An e-mail from British police warning that Madeleine McCann could have been abducted by a Belgian paedophile ring took six weeks to reach detectives in Portugal, it emerged today.

ANONYMOUS IRISH WITNESS - TEA DENIC (3) year 2007
On 10th November it was reported that an Irishman on a pilgrimage to the "miracle" town of Medjugorje in Bosnia had been in contact with Metodo 3 to tell them he heard a little girl cry, "I want my daddy" as she was driven away by a man and a woman. The witness reported seeing the girl struggling with the couple and felt there was something wrong. The father of six, asked to remain anonymous. He wrote down the registration of the couple's car, a VW Golf, and alerted local police but claims his sighting was not followed up. The witness, from Fermanagh, was on holiday in the Bosnia-Herzegovina town with his wife and two-year-old at the beginning of November. Bosnia police identified the child as Tea Dedic, who lives in the city of Ljubuski with her parents. Her father Alen Dedic explained that the car was traced back to his father Slavko Dedic who lent it to him so that the family could go to pray with his family at Medjugorje. Alen Dedic said: "I am sorry that the family had to go through this but my daughter is nothing to do with the case. "She is three-and-a-half years old and is very hyperactive and was a bit out of control when we were in Medjugorje.
"I really had to push her into the car when we went to pray.
"To be honest I had seen that people leaving the church were staring at her behaving badly and I was very embarrassed, I just wanted to get out of there. I did not dream I would create such a fuss."

Re: 'Suspect/Sighting of the Day': A list of known suspects in the Madeleine McCann case
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
THIS is the face of the girl they thought was Madeleine McCann, or Maddie, as the Mail’s front page rebrands the missing girl.
By way of a compare and contrast, the Express has its quotidian picture of Madeleine McCann on the front page. (Although it is expected to shift on the tenth anniversary of the Bouquet Revolution when Diana died, Elton sang and Britain’s top lip became soaked in tears and emotion.)
It is clear in an instant that Madeleine looks a bit like the Mail’s girl. But this new girl has a mole on her face, her eyes are dark brown and not marked by a dropping iris, her hair is blonder and her lips fuller.
And her name is not Madeleine McCann. Her name is Sjanneke Hofstede. She was the girl spotted by the child therapist who told the police and then posed for pictures in the Express. She was 100% sure Sjanneke was Madeleine.
The therapist wishes she’d have done more. Had only this expert walked over and seized the child she would have been the saviour. She would have been the child therapist who not only talked but did. She would have been the recipient of a massive reward. The therapist would have been wrestled to the ground by Sjanneke’s father, with whom she was having lunch, while his girlfriend, also present, dialled the authorities.
The Express makes no mention of this development. Doubtless it is still awaiting the results of DNA tests on the straw Sjanneke used to drink a strawberry milkshake before publishing the news. It will not jump to conclusions.
The Express focuses on the investigation. The Mail does hear “Portugal’s top policeman” Alipio Ribeiro answer critics that he has not deployed enough manpower to find the missing child. Says he: “I have always said that Poirot acted alone and was effective. This is not about numbers. Currently, it is not even about resources.”
We have always said that Poirot was Belgian, too overweight and a work of fiction. But we concede that if Ribeiro is to model himself on any crime fighter, better Poitot than, say, Spiderman or PC Plum from Balamory. Or Cracker.
But there is something of Lieutenant Columbo about Ribeiro’s investigation. He is waiting or the assumed kidnapper to slip up. He has a sense of who the criminal is, and then hounds them, all the time gathering evidence.
“Just one more thing…” says the Express. “MADELEINE – British suspect to be arrested in hours say police.”
Why let the papers know this unless the police want their man to make his move?
And this suspect is British. A Briton has been monitored for several weeks. Minds turn to Robert Murat, who, like Columbo, has a bad eye.
But before the denouement, the Express gathers all around. We are back to Poirot as it revisits the evidence and recaps the story so far. And then it revels all.
But not yet. Soon. Stay tuned…

How many 'sightings' of Madeleine McCann have there been?
How many 'sightings' of Madeleine McCann have there been?
Potential sightings of the British three-year old total 8,685 across 101 countries and territories, a Freedom of Information request for the figures showed.
Many of the sightings were collated by Portuguese cops and stamped “NFA” – No Further Action – as they believed the youngster was dead, compounding the despair of parents Kate and Gerry.

According to Eddie and Keela, Madeleine was in Portugal all along - apartment 5a of the Ocean Club to be precise. Madeleine's parents' apartment, to be even more precise.
Shame on 'Britain's finest police force' and Operation Grange, for spending millions of pounds on this farce and even greater shame for allowing innocent young children to be hounded and have their photographs in the world's media.

Re: 'Suspect/Sighting of the Day': A list of known suspects in the Madeleine McCann case
Thank you Jill (and Verdi's contribution) for posting this list.
It's hard to understand how a three year old girl's life is treated by PR, spin doctors and the ever hungry mainstream media. It's even harder to understand how other little children's lives have been affected when all that's needed is an investigation without fear or favour into the disappearance of Madeleine McCann.
For anyone who still has faith in Operation Grange, I can only say that whilst everyone wants to believe it is a proper investigation, sadly it is not and for the life of a three year old girl that has to affect any belief our society has in the truthfulness of our establishment.
I am always humbled and heartened by people who genuinely care enough to spend time and fight. This forum has been called many things and it's still standing and it's still pumping out information for anyone who wants to read and digest the facts - and remember that there are many professional people on this forum, past and present, who will not give up.
So, a big thank you for putting together the beginnings of a disgraceful list about the many spurious suspects surrounding the disappearance of Madeleine McCann.

This forum has been called many things and it's still standing and it's still pumping out information for anyone who wants to read and digest the facts - and remember that there are many professional people on this forum, past and present, who will not give up.
So, a big thank you for putting together the beginnings of a disgraceful list about the many spurious suspects surrounding the disappearance of Madeleine McCann.

Kate and Gerry's "great hope": Mystery blonde girl found living with gypsies gives boost to Madeleine McCann's parents

The parents of Madeleine McCann were given ‘great hope’ tonight after a [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]was found living with gypsies.
Greek authorities requested international help to identify a four-year-old girl found living in a camp with a couple and 13 other children.
Police believe up to 10 more of the youngsters may be the victims of an international trafficking ring.
The girl, known only as ‘Maria’, was found on Wednesday near Farsala in central Greece during a nationwide crackdown on illegal activities by Roma, also known as Gypsies.
The case bears similarities to theories about the [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] who vanished aged three on a family holiday in Portugal on May 3, 2007.
It raises the possibility that Madeleine could still be alive six years after she disappeared.
Speaking to The Mirror, a spokesman for the McCanns said: “This gives Kate and Gerry great hope that Madeleine could be found alive.”
Dad Gerry said this week that statistics showed the younger a child is when abducted, the more likely they are to be found.
He said [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] “There are cases over the last few years of children who have been found after they’ve been taken for a long time. I think that’s what the public needs to think about tonight.”
Scotland Yard said new evidence adds further weight to claims the three-year-old was [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] from her holiday apartment.
DNA tests confirmed yesterday that the mystery blue eyed girl is not related to the Greek couple who have been remanded in custody.
A 39-year-old man and 40-year-old woman have been charged with abducting a minor and remanded in custody.
A source said the youngster is believed to have been with the couple for at least two years and speaks only Roma. She is currently being assessed by child psychologists.
He said: “Police areexamining a wider network of child traffickers across Europe. This girl couple have been snatched to order or sold by east european criminal gangs. We know these networks exist.”
Police are trying to establish why the girl was living with the couple, who are also accused of falsifying identity and birth certificates.
The mother claimed to have given birth to six children within a total of less than 10 months. She is accused of illegally claiming benefits for the children.
Police say they also found drugs and unregistered firearms in other parts of the settlement, which is about 170 miles north of Athens.
One police officer questioned the couple after spotting that the blonde, pale-skinned and blue-eyed girl stood out from the rest of her family.
She bore no resemblance to the Greek couple and DNA testing confirmed that they weren’t related.
Her features suggest she might be from an eastern or northern European country. She speaks only the gypsy language Roma.
Police have notified Interpol for assistance.
Her discovery will also give hope to the parents of British toddler Ben Needham, who vanished on the Greek island of Kos in 1991 and would now be 23. His family, who insist he is still alive, last night called for DNA testing of the other children at the camp.
Larissa police chief Vasilis Halatsis said: “We have taken the gypsy parents into custody, and the child is being taken care of in hospital.
“We are getting information from all over Europe which shows that this problem, of children going missing and falling into gypsy hands, is a problem throughout the continent.”
The suspects allegedly offered conflicting accounts - that the girl was found in a blanket, was handed to them by strangers or had a foreign father.
The police statement said the couple claimed to have a total of 14 children, and had registered different numbers with authorities in three different parts of Greece.
Officers found three children living with them who appear to be their children - although that hasn’t yet been verified by DNA testing.
The woman who posed as the blonde girl's mum yesterday pleaded from her cell: "We didn't harm her. We love her and she loves us... we gave her everything we could, like we do for our other children."
She claimed she was given the youngster two years ago by a Romanian woman to look after as she went shopping and she never came back. Police chief Vasilis Halatsis fears the couple are involved in a lucrative benefits racket.
They claim to have three families, and get handouts of around £6,900 a month. The mum has also been charged with illegally claiming child benefits and falsifying identity cards and birth certificates.
The girl is in the care of the charity The Smile Of A Child, which said it has sought the help of European and global groups for lost or abused children in tracking her parents.
Charity director Costas Giannopoulos said the child was undergoing medical examinations.
“We are shocked by how easy it is for people to register children as their own,” he told private Skai TV. “There is much more to investigate, there are other registered children that were not found in the settlement, and I believe police will unravel a thread that doesn’t just have to do with the girl.”
The name of the gypsy parents has not yet been disclosed, but they are due to appear before the public prosecutor on Monday.
Lawyers for the arrested gypsy couple appealed to the media “not to present this couple as monsters, as abusers of children”.
Marietta Palavra said: “There is nothing but love and care between the Roma parents and the 4-year old girl.”
News of the girl’s alleged abduction comes just a few days after the Metropolitan Police revealed results of a major review of the investigation into the disappearance of Madeleine McCann.
Among many claims made over the years, convicted paedophile Raymond Hewlett allegedly said he saw the Madeleine twice before she vanished and claimed she was stolen to order by a gypsy gang, but denied he was involved.
During a special Crimewatch show earlier this week, detectives issued two e-fits of a man seen carrying Madeleine towards the beach on the night she vanished.
