Not sure where to post this.

The Mallorca Magazine reports that their sister Paper recieved an Email from Brits claiming to have seen Maddie in Cala D'Or in 2008.

Like the Morocco sighting, the information came from Sources 'close to' ROTHLEY!

In the case of the missing Madeleine “Maddie” McCann, a witness statement once again focuses on Mallorca.

Yesterday, Saturday, an email was received by the editorial team of MM’s sister newspaper “Mallorca Daily Bulletin”. It was sent by a British family who believe they saw the girl on the beach at Cala d'Or in 2008. Three-year-old Madeleine disappeared from a holiday apartment in Praia da Luz, Portugal, in 2007. She was presumably kidnapped.

A year after Maddie's disappearance, in 2008, a British vacationing couple reported to the police and said they had seen the girl on a beach near Cala d'Or. It was accompanied by two women. Striking: The child was very pale, but the two women had a dark complexion. But neither the Mallorcan nor the British police were ever able to locate the girl from the beach and her two companions.

The email that has now been sent to the “Mallorca Daily Bulletin” seems to confirm this statement. “We were in Mallorca with the family in 2008 because I turned 50,” the letter says. “It was my mother's last visit to Cala d'Or because she was almost 80 years old. One of the things that struck me most was that she told us that she had seen Madeleine on the beach at Cala Gran on two occasions during our stay, sitting in a stroller and wearing what looked like a wig.

The email's senders, who "live in Leicestershire, near the village where Madeleine comes from," continue: "We dismissed the comment at the time, but now we wonder whether it is true.

One must ask how many other 'Sightings' were made by people who just happen to live close by to Rothley?

No mention of what the Mother claimed to have seen.

From a seperate Report in the same Newspaper.

"Sadly my mother passed away last year at the age of 94 years and she always maintained she had seen her in Cala d’Or and she followed the investigation into Madeleine as we live in Leicestershire close to the village where Madeleine was from.

Before my mother’s passing I had to assist her with a medical check at one of the Leicester hospitals where Madeleine’s mother was a doctor. After the check my mother said to Mrs McCann that she knew she had lost somebody as she could see it in her face and and she remarked that she felt the same as I had lost a sister (my mother’s daughter). Mrs McCann thanked my mother for her compassion," the email said.

Dr K McCann was obviously known to the Informant, but since when?

It's vanishingly unlikely, isn't it? Kate McCann obviously didn't make much of it, which should have been surprising.

Of course that's what an abductor would do , take the most well known missing child to a beach in full public view ! bignono

Quite, and of all the parents of 'missing' children to innocently tell of a sighting, it was the least innocent mother the poor woman said it to.

Without knowing the identity of the ‘highly Religious’ and possibly long time Patient, it seems impossible to check if she was a Member of Kate McCanns Church congregation or how long she had been under her care.

There might well be an earlier Connection with the McCanns.

As well as a McCann Villa connection to Cala D’Or on Mallorca?

Mrs Renwick remembers sitting by the pool with Mrs McCann during a holiday in Majorca six or seven years ago and lamenting their mutual inability to have children. In late 2002, however, Mrs McCann finally became pregnant with Madeleine through IVF, and in 2004 became pregnant again with twins. The McCanns spent that year in Amsterdam, where he was working on new heart-imaging techniques. Back in England the family moved into a large house in an upmarket development in Rothley, a straggling village a few miles north of Leicester where William Wilberforce once plotted his antislavery campaign in the local manor and, much later, Mike Gatting forfeited the England cricket captaincy by taking a barmaid to his hotel room in the same manor house.

Six or Seven years ago, before Madeleine was concieved (2000-2001) the McCanns were on Mallorca before?

Madeleine apparently on Mallorca in September 2005 as was reported by the Gaspar family to Leicestershire Constabulary.

The Photo allegedly was ‘taken by a friend’.

But in 17 years of ‘Investigation’ no-one, not even the McCanns, Payne, or Gold families have ever been asked about what they saw at the Dinner table that day.

The location or timing of this particular Photograph has never been established. No Geolocation or EXIF data seems to be available.

Does anyone even know where it really is?
Is it even Madeleine?
