After a bit of goggling, I think Sousa is his middle name. The Daily Star seem to have omitted his actual surname for some reason...........

Possibly Billy Sousa Hughes from Waterlooville

It is customary for people to have two surnames, one from each parent.

Here is a pic of Billy Sousa

Is this the same Billy Sousa?
He seems to be some sort of Media student

Yes, but if he is half Portuguese half British or American, then Sousa would be his mother's name.
Sharonl where did you find 'Billy Sousa Hughes from Waterlooville' and who is he?

See my post above - I think we posted at the same time
He is somehow connected to media - a student perhaps

He added: “I couldn’t take my eyes off her. She looked like all the pictures I’ve seen of her. The man she was with looked like he was fairly poor, not a drifter but not a rich man.
How can a 8-year still look exactly like her old pictures when she was 3 year old. A child changes quite considerably between 4-9, at least hair and teeth features would be completely different.
What would be interesting to know is: did this Billy Souza approach the Press? Motive? Money?
Or is he a fictional character of certain people's imagination?
And what would be of more interest is how did the press learn of his story?
People are not wrong to be skeptical and put this down to another leh-ja-vu scripted by the team who like to do their
Why did the Yard say something about these false stories in the tabloid? Hopefully the Sr UK Investigator purpose of the BBC interview is to use the opportunity to deflect the sighting.

Re: Police are investigating reported sighting of Madeleine McCann in Nerja
The 'age progressed' picture isn't as well known as the iconic one of a 2.5 year old girl.
I think a lot of people are still looking for that face - which never existed in the first place.

I am afraid I am totally sceptical about this Billy Sousa Hughes. Cheap publicity stunt, jumping on the bandwagon by a self-interested individual imv.

Just had a quick look at Billy's links. His work isn't bad for a 12 year old, but as 1st year work, it's thin to put it kindly.
Olive Press and Billy have no connection? OP has run with two very similar stories, the one earlier this year and now this one.
When is the bandwagon going to grind to a halt?

Re: Police are investigating reported sighting of Madeleine McCann in Nerja
The Olas bar is on the Burriana beach, a small strip of beach on the eastern edge of the main resort of Nerja. It can only be approached by one road, down from the main road and I am sure there isn't a bus, we have only approached by car. There used to be a cliff approach from the small beach by the Balcon Europa in the main town of Nerja but that has been closed for a few years due to land slides.
Nerja isn't imo a resort for a group of young lads, the western side of Malaga is more their place with miles of beaches with all the attractions such beaches offer and night life that ends at breakfast time. Nerja has small beaches, some very nice restaurants, though there are the whatever and chips type of place. So was this chap visiting someone as I just cannot see a young fellow and his mates booking a holiday in Nerja, unless he wanted to not do very much.

Re: Police are investigating reported sighting of Madeleine McCann in Nerja
To save everybody time here is a handy cut out 'n keep Maddie sighting report.
Tragic / brave / heart-broken* parents Kate and Gerry McCann were boosted last night after reports that an 18 year old student / 29 year old holidaymaker / 47 year old ex-pat* is convinced they saw missing / abducted / kidnapped* Madeleine™ in Malaga / Marrakesh / Mombassa* last week / last month / last year*.
"It was definitely her" said the student / holidaymaker / ex-pat* tearfully last night. "She was with a foreign / swarthy / gypsy* man who was smartly dressed / scruffily dressed / dressed like a foreigner* and they just didn't look right together. I immediately recognised her from the picture on front of the book, which is available in all good bookshops, and soon out in paperback."
The student / holidaymaker / ex-pat* was so shocked at the sighting that they literally trembled and reported it to a Sun journalist / local free paper / late-night radio phone-in* as soon as they had finished their shopping / climbed Everest / visited the International Space Station*.
Official spokesthing Clarence Mitchell told us "Naturally Kate and Gerry are delighted by this news as it gives them hope that people will continue to fund their search."
Last night Scotland Yard refused to comment on this latest sighting.
* Pick one of the options.

Very good Ross, I particularly like the TM after Madeleine's name! Perhaps we can add the choice of woman as the potential abductor or even indeterminate sex to accommodate all Jane Tanner's changes of mind.

You're welcome.
I suspect not.

Incredibly, they have !!!

Perhaps even Jon Clarke is beginning to see that he has been duped and used. (He portrays himself as a fearless investigative journalist, who wrote the book about the Costa Killer aka the Stockwell Strangler,)

Strange business. The PJ have officially stated this story is false.

PJ Denies the Existence of a New Lead About Maddie’s Whereabouts
17-04-2012 17:23 by Celso Paiva Sol
An official source of the PJ told Renascença that the news about the Portuguese authorities having given leads about the appearance of the girl in Spain do not have any basis.
The PJ categorically denies the news published in the Spanish paper “Diário Sur”. according to which the neighbouring country’s authorities are investigating a new lead, allegedly provided by the Portuguese police, about the whereabouts of Madeleine McCann.
An official PJ source told Renascença that the news did not have any basis and is completely false. According to “Diário Sur”, the new lead arrived at the Spanish authorities ten days ago and relates that a girl with great similarities to Maddie had been seen in the city of Nerja, close to Málaga.”
Take your pick. Clarence Mitchell spinning another “sighting” or the PJ official statement. You choose.

So the next question is, what is happening the enquiry or the review which makes TM need to turn people’s attention away ?
PM says:
April 18, 2012 at 11:10 am
ITV News,
4:03PM, TUE 17 APR 2012
Spanish police investigate Madeleine ‘sighting’
5:57PM, TUE 17 APR 2012
McCann sighting information has been with police for some time.”
So it took them less than 2 hours to discover that the “story’ was a plant by you know who.–
As with any conjuror, look what he is doing with the other hand.
PM says:
April 18, 2012 at 6:50 pm
And Nerja town hall, (you know, the ones who run the Policia Local) state they know nothing about it. Can we have some serious investigative journalism here. Who put this story into the public domain ? Was it Mitchell on behalf of TM ? There is another edition of Kate’s autobiography (with a few pages about Madeleine) coming out soon. Surely it cannot be a publicity stunt ? Can it ? Or is it to divert attention from the libel trial in Portugal, so that the press do not run with that slightly more arcane story.
june says:
April 19, 2012 at 2:47 pm
Nothing here as usual. Time to move on until the next false one.
PM says:
April 20, 2012 at 11:12 am
And there will be. Tony Bennett’s case comes up soon, and they may not want it revealed that they have spent many thousands of pounds generously donated by the public to the “Fund” which is in fact a private limited Company, NOT a Charity, on hiring the most expensive libel lawyers to prevent people asking sensible questions – such as why they lied to the police from the very first. And they did. Just look at their first statements and compare them to their second statements.
To Olive Press – I realise you may not be ‘permitted’ to publish this, and am not offended if you don’t.
PM says:
April 21, 2012 at 10:00 am
Has any one tried contacting Billy Sousa (Hughes) to get the full story, or is this the end of this one ?

Miraculous!
eta - I wonder why the 18-year billy bob wasnt tempted by the 1.5 or is it 2.5M reward?
A teenager without a mobile phone with camera, beggars belief! I would have like to see the "Maddie" he saw.
Judging from the evolving age progression team mccann came up with, in tandem with evolving egg-man, even the mccanns havent a clue what Maddie would look like now, and they most likely wouldn't even recognise her if they were to cross her in the street, how a stranger can be so convinced the girl he saw was "Maddie' boggles the mind.

Daily Mail 28/7/07
Madeleine's face is instantly recognisable in dozens of countries, and the reward for information leading to her return stands at £3.2 million.
"It needs only one greedy, unscrupulous character to come forward," said Philomena McCann.
That's why! Perhaps he'd have to face Philomena!
A very curious description of the person who is going to restore your beloved niece/daughter to you. Or is it the fact that all that lovely money will never be theirs. Why, O why, didn't the generous people just put it in the Fund? Because they're not stupid? Looks good, free advertising and no risk of having to actually pay up.
