CHILD SPOTTED IN INDIA 'ISN'T MADELEINE'

Thursday July 28,2011
By Geoff Marsh for Express.co.uk

MADELEINE McCann’s family has played down a possible sighting of the missing child in India.

Local police are said to be investigating after a British woman spotted a six-year-old girl who appeared to resemble Madeleine in a market in the city of Leh in northern India on Friday night.

A French woman and a Belgian man who were with the girl insisted they were her biological parents but police took their passports to check, the Chandigarh Tribune newspaper reported.

It is understood that the private detectives hired by Madeleine’s parents, Kate and Gerry McCann, to continue looking for their daughter are not currently planning to travel to India but will liaise with local police.

McCann family spokesman Clarence Mitchell said: “The private investigators currently searching for Madeleine have been aware of this report from India for several days, and have been working to establish its veracity.

There is nothing to suggest that this Madeleine sighting is any more credible than any of the many others
McCann family spokesman Clarence Mitchell

“So far unfortunately there is nothing to suggest that this sighting is any more credible than any of the many others we have had over the last four-plus years.”

Madeleine was nearly four when she went missing from her family’s holiday flat in Praia da Luz in the Algarve on May 3 2007 as her parents dined with friends nearby.

Portuguese detectives, helped by officers from Leicestershire Police, carried out a massive investigation into her disappearance.

But the official inquiry was formally shelved in July 2008 and since then no police force has been actively looking for the missing child, who would now be eight.

Their spokesman Clarence Mitchell said: "Kate and Gerry do not believe the child was Madeleine. They have seen photographic evidence and concluded that it was not her."

Oh ok McScams...leaving no stone unturned and relying on photos to find out if it is your daughter!!! Just like the photoshopped photos you scam the world with hey!

Why not A) look at the girls right eye...and B) Check for the birthmark on her left knee

I don't know your daughter but seem to know more then you both do!! You should never be parents, its sickening

What I find scary about this latest hoax is the message behind it; that it's ok to snatch a child ("around the world") that might resemble Madeleine? And then make them have DNA tests? that's insane! Yet I've read far too many comments today (on mainstream sites) that gloss right over this part or worst still, find it acceptable that a family should be subjected to this terror. It's not! It looks like conditioning through propaganda to me and sadly a lot of folk are falling for it. Jeez.. just what kind of society are we sleepwalking into?

If this was a true story and some poor family had had to be dragged through that ordeal, it would be barbaric, and the McCanns should surely be condenming this sort treatment of an innocent family, not encouraging and condoning it. Sick!

This must count as one of Pinky's most bold and outright LIES that takes the PISS!

Kashmir Police have confirmed there is no such sighting YET the mccanns claimed they have seen photography evidence - wtf? Who had provided them the photo then?

What strange hold does CM have over the tabloid that they continue to toe the mccanns line? Or is it a case of giving them enough rope to hang themselves? Must be the latter as I see no logic in this time and space wasting exercise otherwise.

I agree Daisy, and to my amazement the Daily Mail posted a comment from me about that.

It shows once again what a sociopaths the McCanns are. They have absolutely no interest in what their actions cause, as long as their actions give them the, oh so short, satisfaction for the moment.

Missing UK girl not in J&K: Cops
SRINAGAR The Jammu and Kashmir Police on Thursday denied media reports that a British girl who had reportedly gone missing in Portugal four years ago was found in Leh.

Abdul Gani Mir, deputy inspector-general of police (DIG), said: “We have not recovered any missing foreign girl from Leh. There is no question of carrying out a DNA test since we don’t have the girl. Our field staff in Leh have confirmed that no such girl has been recovered by them. A British media report said that a girl missing for the last four years from Portugal had been sighted in Leh district of the state. We have no such confirmation from either the police or the district administration,” he said.

Earlier, a British newspaper report had said a four-year-old British girl, who was allegedly kidnapped while on a holiday in Portugal in 2007, has reportedly been tracked down to Leh in Jammu and Kashmir state.

The report in the Daily Mail also said the parents of Madeleine McCann are, however, awaiting the results of a DNA test on the girl. Kate and Gerry McCann’s team of private investigators said they were working with Leh police who were alerted after a British woman spotted a girl she thought to be Madeleine.

So...was there a sighting...or not?

Was a little girl and her family held...or not?

Did stupid tourists try to kidnap a six year old...or not?

No DNA test? (Isn't Leh a very small Indian town, do they have facilities there to take and analyse DNA swabs and also to turn around results in record time? How long would it take to compare any DNA with that of Madeleine? Who liaises with whom?)

No photo? (Someone - who? - takes a photo, downloads it to a pc, emails it to the McCanns? When?)

The chief of police in the area claims that nothing has been reported relating to a missing little girl, so who is right here?

Does Clarence Mitchell think we're STUPID? In fact, I think he does. Indeed, watching this story break and develop over at the Official Find Madeleine FB page, as I was yesterday (OK, I'd finished my work!) there were quite a few folks posting links to the "truth" but these were almost completely ignored, there were endless wails of "has she been found?", "I keep praying that the DNA results will show it's her" etc etc and then again YET ANOTHER link to a news report proving that the so-called lead was false. And yet more stupid wailings followed.

In any case, as has been already said, there is no coincidence with the timing: Pat Brown's book is banned/another "sighting" = "hey, there are people out there still looking for her". Give me strength.

As I said, CM must think we're all stupid. And some of us (the FBookers) clearly are.

Hello all, I usually lurk at the background but thought (well had to ha ha) to air my views on this. I totally agree with Daisy and I'm livid that McCanns don't do anything to disapprove such a behaviour. And how come they get away releasing such a blatant lies like that they've seen the photo of the girl when clearly there's no such a girl. Why no-one picks up on this garbage???? Aaaarrggghhhh!!!

And what comes to their official facebook page, well, it's another aaaaarrggggghhh for me. Had a look this morning and I can't believe the collective stupidity. Here's one gem;

"Local police superintendent, Vivek Gupta said:

'This incident is not in my knowledge and I have not sent any request to anyone for this. We have not taken any swabs for DNA testing. We have not even been approached for any help by anyone in this case."
He added: "If anyone wants our help, we are willing to help but as of now, we have not been approached. My men are not at all involved in any such investigation."

DEAR GOD! WHY? Is this another inept police force! PLEASE take the DNA of this little girl.

Webmaster, please forward this to Kate."

Welcome to the site NordicInKent. I admire those of you who are brave enough to access the McCanns' Facebook site - my stomach is way too delicate to enable me to read more than the odd head banging gem that comes from there. I could understand a little old lady who only reads the Sun to come out with the nonsense you quote regarding the "sighting" in India but it's unbelievable from people who have access to the Internet. No offence to little old ladies by the way - I am one myself!!

that it's ok to snatch a child ("around the world") that might resemble Madeleine?

Considering the song and dance that the McCanns have made about an 'abduction' and the distress it causes you would think that they would be the first to condemn these deliberate attempts to abduct children. But no, stunning silence from them. It's not Madeleine, so why do they care about the distress caused to the child in question and her parents?

by Gillyspot 29.07.11 9:53

There is an article in the Daily Fail about it.

The article is the usual rubbish but it is the comments that are interesting.

None of them (well the 2 pages i read) are totally against the McCann's and refer back to the PJ files so it looks like they may have been monitored & deleted. What I found interesting though is the "rating" - Those critical of the McCanns get a much higher rating by other readers. Is ticking a box our way to get free speech?

Well, it seems it was from what the Leh police are saying. They don't know about any girl. Which begs the very important question, who gave this story to the Indian Tribune. If there is a journalist worth his salt in this country, they should do some serious digging and get to the bottom of this. The paper didn't make this up out of thin air, someone gave them this story!!

I wonder if part of the settlements that the Mccanns and their lawyers had with the Media was that they ( the Media) were not allowed to write anything negative.

Chris Jeffries has just been awarded a substantial settlement from various newspapers about their articles relating to Jo Yeates. It was said that if he'd had to go to court he may not have had a fair trial. Maybe that's what the media have in mind with the McCanns? Maybe they're deliberating keeping bad stuff out of the press in case there's a court case and the McC's can't say they won't get a fair trial?

Yes and no, I can follow your line of thinking but the actions of the Mccanns to get Goncarlo´s book banned and their most recent action against Pat are contradictory, surely if they were arming themselves against a court case they would let both books run.

by puzzled 29.07.11 13:50

I cannot understand how papers are continuing to run this story, given that the incident has been proved to be a hoax. I notice that where it's possible to leave comments, some people have pointed this out. But it all seems to just get ignored.

by lj 29.07.11 14:15

Kate and Gerry McCann’s team of private investigators said they were working with Leh police

If they are spending 3.5 million (or maybe even up to 13) on a review of the case why aren't they liasing with India??

It is crap, and the McCanns know it, or might be even the source of it.
Are they now trying to convince the SY she is still out there "findable".

The denial of the Leh police is more than convenient, in the future they can say "you see that sighting was never explored sufficiently".

Hello NordicinKent and welcome. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] Ahh that dreaded facebook page, I rather foolishly visited there yesterday too.

And yes, this whole sorry saga seems to have taken yet another sinister twist.

'I'm sure it was Maddie': Tourist convinced child spotted in India was McCanns' missing daughter

The British woman who spotted a Madeleine McCann lookalike in India said that she was 'sure' it was the missing schoolgirl.
The
tourist, known only as Carol, refused to let the child leave her sight
because she was so certain it was the McCann's missing daughter, who
would now be aged eight.

Thanks Daisy, that article is today's and updated at 12.56 pm and they are still saying Leh police are taking DNA samples etc.etc. Same as original story.

A DNA test is being carried out to see if the child is Madeleine - although her parents have already discounted the potential lead.
