Madeleine McCann

Information has been received by the local police in Heraklion, from the authorities investigating the case of the missing child Madeleine, and they are trying to check the information that the girl was spotted in a hotel in Gouves.

The request was sent from Europol to the police department of the peninsula, a few days ago. According to "Πατρίς" [Greek news website] the strange thing is that they have sought, after so many months, to investigate the cameras of the hotel to see if the material depicts the child.

It will be recalled that little Madeleine was abducted in 2007 from Portugal. It is not the first time the police in Crete have been asked to investigate information relating to the matter, in the area of ​​Hersonissos and Malia.

The search for the child Madeleine arrives in Gouves

Global interest in her abduction from Portugal in 2007

While British newspapers claim the time is approaching for the arrests of the abductors of the child Madeleine - who was abducted in the spring of 2007 from Portugal - Europol, through the badge of the Crete police, has requested the investigation of possibly relevant information.

Simply, this information relates to a blonde girl who looked like a 4-year-old Madeleine and was spotted at a hotel in Gouves!

Through the Greek Police Headquarters of Europol the document was sent to the police department of the peninsula a few days ago. The strange thing is that they have sought, after so many months, to investigate the cameras of the hotel to see if the material depicts the child. As expected, the investigation has not paid off, since the hotel was not able to keep the material from the closed circuit system after so many months.

It is not, however, the first time the police in Crete have been asked to investigate for evidence relating to this particular case, mainly in the wider region of Hersonissos and Malia.

Madeleine disappeared from her hotel room, between 21.30-22.00, while her parents, Kate and Gerry dined just 50 metres away from her, on 3 May 2007. Because the windows and shutters were found open when the authorities arrived at the location, having just been informed of the disappearance, they considered that they were dealing with the abduction of the child.

A few days later, the authorities gave the public a sketch which depicted a male suspect who was probably holding Madeleine, but that was not informative, as it displayed more the back of his body. It also formalised their thoughts that the small child is alive. Meanwhile, the Portuguese media through their reporting believe that the little girl has fallen victim to a paedophile ring.

The story has shocked many in the global community including footballers Cristiano Ronaldo and David Beckham, who sent a public appeal for the release of the 4-year-old girl. Not only famous entrepreneurs, but also footballer Wayne Rooney, offered the amount of 5,000,000 euros to anyone who could find her.

FFS!!!!! When will this stupid circus ever stop???

I have a feeling this is another Clarence attempt to keep the McCanns in the limelight and prove that Madeleine may be alive because of the Trial. The U.K. Press have not reported it , SY have not mentioned it so it would seem the Portugese castigation of SY and the Press hit home.

I think that story is 6 years old !

Well I wasn't a member here then Lioned so I wouldn't know, is there any way you can trace it?

It looks like one of those regurgitated ones where it just ends up with todays date.Even the Greek papers are trying to make money from Maddie stories.

It sounds familar to me...

When Madeleine's parents grow a conscience, fred, but if they haven't got one seven years down the line we can expect lots more sightings, fun runs, balloon launches and all the other events which generate cash to swell their solicitors fees assist the search for their daughter..............

These statements tell us the info relates to a '4-year-old girl' (not a much older one) and that it was sought after 'many months' (rather than years).
It does therefore seem likely to be an old article with a current date on it.
That's been happening quite a lot lately, for whatever reason.

Well SY got a slap for leaking silly burglar stories to the Brit press so maybe they've asked their pink friend to get to work on his airmiles.Probably he'd prefer that anyway he must be fed up with the fish nibbling his feet on Brighton pier.

Yes, Lioned, , Clarence has had a hand in this, to keep attention on Madeleine and more importantly try to prove Madeleine could still be alive with regard to the Trial.

Will they still be reporting further sightings in 10 years time or will they finally put their hands up and concede what the world and his dog have known since 2007?
