A WOMAN who was saved from a child snatcher in Portugal 13 years before Madeleine McCann went missing has revealed: “It could easily have been me.”

Nicole Shuttleworth, 25, was just three years old when her mum woke to see a dark intruder reaching into her cot in their Algarve hotel room.

Her case has chilling echoes of Madeleine, who was also three when she vanished from her parents’ holiday apartment in Praia da Luz in May 2007.

Nine years on, Madeleine is still missing and the police seem no closer to serving the mystery.

But in 1994, Nicole was holidaying with her cleaner mum Lilian and painter decorator dad Stephen in Albufeira, 45 minutes away from Praia Da Luz.

Photos show the blonde youngster bore a striking resemblance to Madeleine at the time the pervert tried to snatch her.

One night Lilian, now 53, woke up to a dark male figure standing over Nicole’s cot reaching in to grab her.

Lilian let out a “blood-curdling scream” which woke her husband Stephen, now 58, who chased the intruder off.

As there was no sign of a break in, the family believed the would-be abductor used hotel keys to enter their room – something the hotel denied.

13 years before Madeleine disappeared would be 22 years ago and they are just talking about this now? The only similarity between the two cases would be "there was no sign of a break in".

Wonder how much they got paid, for that ancient snippet? Pathetic rag and pathetic people!!

As I suspected, no formal complaint about an attempted sexual attack in Albufeira hotel was ever presented to police auth. in 1994.

The Mail has the story now - the "girl" is now a mum herself and wants to share her "story" to warn other parents.

Isn't it pathetic? Not many comments yet, hmmmm. I bet we have all this until next May then there will be an explosion of it all.

Odd how the Mail has only allowed two comments (and they are 3 hours old). Mine was submitted about half an hour ago but has not shown up.

Mine neither, but to be fair I have been suspended from the Mail so many times I am probably black listed.

What a load of regurgitated claptrap!

I too think it isn't a new story.
