New Sighting of Madeleine in India

Leh, July 23
High drama prevailed in the busy Fort Road market of the city last night when three persons identified a six-year-old girl as Madeleine McCann, a British girl who went missing while on a holiday in Portugal in 2007.

The infamous case had hogged limelight when Madeleine disappeared in May 2007 while she was holidaying with her parents and siblings in the Algarve region of Portugal. The minor girl went missing from an apartment a few days before her fourth birthday and has still not been found. According to the Wikipedia and various web portals, Madeline’s parents Kate and Gerry McCann had stated that they had left the children unsupervised in the ground floor bedroom while they were at a restaurant about 120 metres away.

Last night, a British woman saw a French woman with her Belgian husband roaming in the market with a girl who looked like Madeleine. She immediately informed the British police and the Leh police. The local police has taken the passports of the suspects for verification.

The missing girl’s parents have set up a website where they have put up her pictures that were taken in 2007 and also pictures of how she would look like as she would grow up.

As the British woman shared her suspicions with few others and took a picture of the girl, an American youth -- who was also following the couple -- tried to take away the girl from them. He later told the police that he suspected the girl to be Madeleine. Another American woman also shared the suspicion.

The French woman, however, rubbished their claims, saying that she and her husband were the biological parents of the girl.

A local police official said there was worldwide alert for Madeleine and it would be a great honour for the Leh police to find the missing girl. “However, it all depends upon the evidence like DNA for which help from Madeleine’s parents and the British police was required.”

If I know that, and you know that, and we probably both think she isnt going to be found wandering about, then why on earth do 'Madeleines Army' out there searching for her not know how old she would be?

And are they meant to be looking for a child with a coloboma or without one?

Indeed it is. There was someone on their fb page who didn't even know who Eddie and Keela were, plus they seem (well, some of them anyway) to believe the rubbish Kate trotted out in her book about dogs being unable to alert to cadaverine after 30 days - something that must be a bit of a shock to those involved in the countless cases where cadaver dogs have found the scent months, years or even decades after a death. Ignorance appears to be bliss among the McFans.

As for this Indian 'sighting', I find this really sickening -

'As the British woman shared her suspicions with few others and took a picture of the girl, an American youth -- who was also following the couple -- tried to take away the girl from them.'

This, if true, is just terrible. What gives anyone the right to stalk and take photos of a child they don't even know? And even worse, try to snatch a child from her family? I hope this little girls' parents insist on the American youth being charged with attempted abduction of their child, as it will take something like that to put a stop to this idea that it's acceptable to try to grab a child just because she has some superficial resemblance to one who has disappeared.

Innocent people who have the suffered humiliations because of the Mccanns really should be suing the backsides off the Mccanns, the Mccanns themselves sue people for less.

Take from their facebook page


Just hoping that the girl in Leh turns out to be Madeleine, it just goes to show that Madeleine still remains in the heart and minds of many people and we will never stop looking for her. At least these people didn't just walk away then called the police they actually stopped and held her until the police arrived. I would rather be proved wrong and apologise than miss the oppotunity to bring her home.
