You can ignore most of this, it is a negative update sightings, but the bit at 3. re VERSCHELDEN means nothing to us here, or Interpol London and we wonder if it is something that was meant for Portugal. Can you bring it to their attention.

(Note : Here, is a handwritten entry of 5 lines, in the Portuguese Language, dated 27th June 2007, and headed by "Policia Inglese", which may have overwritten the lower part of this report)


Page 730 (Page 2 of 2)

1. With regards to your message advising that Interpol London had received information that in Playa de Mojacar/Almeria at 1500 hours on 13th May 2007, an individuak ( unidentified by IP London) saw a couple with two children, one of whom looked like Madeleine. The individuals got out of a black Peugeot with a Spanish VRM, part of which read '...778'. Enquiries to locate these vehicles have been unsuccessful. Furthermore, the description of those accompanying Madeleine did not provide anyinformation which could have helped to locate them.

2. Interpol London advised us that they had received information that approximately 5 days after Madeleine's disappearance, a grey Renault with Portuguese VRM xxx-x1-01 was seen (by unidentified individual) on Calle Juan Sebastian el Cano on the outskirts of VERA, Calle Juan Sebastian el Cano is in Vera Playa, and we have not been able to locate any Renault with Portuguese VRM there. However, we found a dark grey Renault 19 with Portuguese VRM xx-xx-88 parked on a street at right angles to Calle Juan Sebastian el Cano, Calle Nunez de Balboa, next to Urb. La Medina. This vehicle does not appear to be abandoned.

Similarly, with regards to point 1. , please be advised that a black Peugeot 307 with VRM xxx2-xxR was parked near the abovementioned vehicle. This vehicle belongs to the Hert Hire Company and was hired at Almeria Airport by British national Alex TAxx (Passport number : 30-0x-xxxxx). The vehicle was hired on 10th June until 13th June. The vehicle was parked outside apartment 15xx, a property marked as 'Casa ALxxxxx', in Urb. Las Medinas de Vera Playa. However, in view of the fact that neither of the VRM's match up, or even resemble those of the vehicles sighted, we do not believe that either vehicle has any connection to the case.

3. With regards to the information from Puesto de Garrucha which our Unit was informed about yesterday, and which stated that an individual named, Margateta VERSCHELDEN, had seen a girl who may have been Madeleine at around 1300 hours on 23rd May in GARRUCHA : please be advised that yesterday afternoon we interviewed Margateta and she accompanied Officer's from our Force to the exact place where she had seen the girl, describing where she was going to. We asked to see footage from the CCTV of the Post Office and of the Calle Mayor in Garrucha where the individuals with Madeleine were walking. However, the Post Office does not keep CCTV recordings for very long and so unfortunately the footage could not be viewed.

Adele,

Thank you. many apologies to all for raising hopes from here. It did indeed appear a credible sighting highlighted by the need for the Guatemalan Police / HM Consul to approach the girl and gentleman to ascertain identities.

We will liaise with Consular Directorate / Press Office overnight on handling any local reaction detailed below.

Mistaken sighting of Madeleine McCann : GUATEMALA CITY.

I called at 1130 today to inform you that a language teacher for the Embassy said that she thought she sighted Madeleine Mccann at Mira Flores Shopping Mall in Guatemala City. Immediately the Consul went down to the Mall and the Police and the Mall Authorities were informed. From a distance of 30m metres or so, the Consul, a colleague and several others thought that the girl bore a striking resemblance to Madeleine. The Authorities, Consul and local Police followed the gentleman and the girl. It transpired that the Mall Authorities had been following the man all morning.

Six Police Officers and Mall Security approached the gentleman and the girl, in the presence of the Consul. The mother appeared on the scene and confirmed that the girl was NOT Madeleine McCann. The gentleman was actually the child's bodyguard and was escorting the child around whilst her mother was shopping/drinking coffee. The Consul saw identification for the child and was satisfied that the girl was not Madeleine McCann. We have identification for all three people involved.
I informed you at 1230 that it was almost certainly a case of mistaken identity. This e-mail confirms our conversation.

The Consul has already given a verbal apology to the bodyguard and father following the incident. The family actually acknowledged the close resemblance of the girl to Madeleine's photograph. But they are naturally unhappy with what happened and have called asking for a written and oral apology from the Embassy. They have since, by telephone, inferred that the British Government intended to kidnap the girl. They have requested a meeting tomorrow with the Consul. The girl's father (a Lawyer) is coming back from El Salvador tomorrow as a result of what happened.

Several people at the Mall saw what was going on and we have had some telephone enquiries from prople at the Mall. Given the feeling of the family here, there is a good chance of local Press interest and calls as a result.

Grateful for your advice on the following :

- what we should say to the people involved here. The DHM and Consul will meet with the family tomorrow as requested. I will send something to Neil/Chris for their advice overnight on lines to take with the family. We do not see the need for a written apology at this stage, although the family may ask for this tomorrow.

- what we can say to callers, local Press. A Press line would be used on a strictly defensive basis....

We were in SEVILLE on Saturday 12th May. I was stood outside the bull-ring near th eentrance to the museum (you can see the entrance to the museum on the attached picture, it is painted orange). A little girl was standing outside the entrance and didn't seem to want to go inside the building with the adult she was with. She seemed very sad, so I took this photograph.
I doubt that someone who abducted Maddie on the Thursday would be visiting a bull-ring on the Saturday so I suspect this photo will not help you, but I thought it was better to send it anyway, and let you have a look at it.

You can contact me on this e-mail address or on my UK mobile number which is 079682xxxxx.

Hello,
I am a medical student in Poland, Wroclaw.
This is a long shot, but I wanted to report a suspicious car with a man and young girl I saw a few days ago.

Audi S8 silver with taxi stickers on side showing 1100x or some numbers with 11 on doors. Inside in back seat without seatbelt a young girl with white head band that could be looking like Madeleine. In front a 50+ tough looking man smoking.
The car left from parked outside U1. (Note : could be Ul.) Prusa in Wroclaw going east I think, I was going other direction around 8 - 9am.

My reason for concern is that I know there are many hore(sic) houses here, and criminal people that deal with girls. Further, no normal taxi driver can afford a luxury car like Audi S8 here.

I though I wouldn't report this, but it stuck in my head, so I just felt like reporting this. It might not be important.

On 12th May 2007 I was at MALAGA Airport approx 1145am-1220pm in area C.
I was sitting waiting for my flight when a young girl ran towards me, screaming and crying, shaking her arms.
A lady ran up behind her and grabbed her and picked her up and took her back to where they were sitting which was out of my view. When I entered area C, I walked past a bank of monitors and then sat in front of the next bank of monitors, facing the way I had just walked.
The young girl looked approx 3 yrs, fair waxy hair possibly crimped. She was very upset. I didn't hear her speak.

Just come back from a golfing holiday in Portugal, played at VAL DE LOBO, not sure of the area, on 12th May, when they finished playing there the coach collected them at 1800 hrs, parked opposite club and boarded coach. Looking over the top of a hedge to adjacent villa, approx 30 yards from entrance to golf club on the opposite side. Saw a young girl sat with her back against the side of the villa, fitting Madeleine's description, sobbing uncontrollably. Woman trying to console her from a distance, tried to give her a mobile phone, offered her a tissue. Woman : 30's, black hair, 5'5" - 5'6" tall. Thought it was strange that the woman was trying to comfort her from a distance, and not cuddling her.

Hello Bruno,

I was called today by a Dutch woman about the missing girl.
The woman told me that on 12th May 2007 she was in the Airport of FARO. The woman had stayed with the family for three nights in Filla Mora. The flight back to Holland was at p.m. 07.00.

On the airport (near customs) she saw a baby girl with a (man and woman) couple. The couple were European people between 20 and 30 years old.
They had a girl with them with thin blond hair and with a blue teat in her mouth. The girl was sitting in a so-called McLaren buggy. She didn't hear them speaking with each other or with the girl. The woman lift up the girl and the girl reacted normally.

The Dutch woman had seen a copy of the photo of the missing Madeleine while she was going through the customs. The woman thinks she saw Madeleine.

The man was dressed sporty. It was a tall man.
The woman was also sporty dressed. The woman made a frightened impression.
The Dutch woman I soke with is Caroline PEYSIR.
Date of birth is 5th July 1958.
Tel : +316425xxxxx

For questions I'm available for you of course.

On 13th May 2007, Mario VOLAR, (DoB : 8th March 1986), reported to the Police Station of Graz Eggenberg that he saw something suspicious around 13.15 at the OMV petrol station at GRAZ-STRASSGANG with regard to the child abduction in Portugal (4th May 2007) - Madeleine McCann - 3 year old girl). In a VW Kombi (see enclosure) bearing British licence plates ( photo I/p P-870FQJ) he saw a male person, approx. 35 years, 180 cm, slim build, and a female person with black long hair. On the back seat he also saw a child's seat, however, because of the dark panes he could not see whether there was indeed a child in the car.

Since he cannot rule out what he saw is connected to the media coverage of the child abduction in Portugal, he made a report to the Police.

Please find enclosed a photo of the VW-Kombi provided by the petrol station owner.

He states that he and his wife were on holiday from 5th June - 19th June 2007 in Malta.

On 11th June they were in Mellieha waiting on some steps for a bus when he became aware of a male person with a small child.

The child was whimpering and as the Maltese are very pro-children he was concerned that this male person did not seem to be too concerned about her.

The male seemed to know the area as he was looking towards a small butcher's shop and clothes shop.

They left just prior to Collier and his wife boarding the bus. They headed towards Goxo.

The male was 50ish, 5'8"-5'10" tall, dark balding hairstyle, round face and looked too old to be the child's father. He was naturally tanned and "Spanish looking".

The child was approx 3', didn't see her face so can't comment on shin colour, dressed all in pink with a pink hat on. She had shoulder length flowing hair starting to curl, mousy brown in colour.

Reported for information.

Cheers,

Intelligence Report Continuation Sheet ( Form B)

I thought it was 'odd' that a little girl was out in her pyjamas

I then saw them go in a Grey Whitish two seater truck I not sure of the registration number but I remember a 'xxxxxxxxxxx'

The number plate was a black digit against a white background

I remember Madeleine hopping to keep up with the man I also seen the man's face it was remarkly similar to the man on the news (Richard Morfat)

Also he was of stocky build and not tall I remember the man also was not wearing sunglasses but black translvent ones

The time I remember was around 601 and 7 o'clock He got into the car and drove off

This man was small in height 57 - 59 ft in height

He was between at least size 16 - 20

He was in his early 30s to mid 35/36

I also recall a small care follow the two seater truck I had distinct design on the back of the car like shutter style railings

It was a small brown - red car (sporty) and this was on the back of the car

A woman with a 'bob' style haircut was driving this car She was in her late 20's about 28 onwards

Please do not discount my information

I know and have been told the MCCANN parents have left their children on their own before this incident occurred My heart goes out to the MCCANN family I have two children myself and I am afraid the prople who took Madeleine could be dangerous therefore I am deeply sorry that I cannot let you know my name

Please I pray for Madeleine's safe return

Thank you

The report then continues thus :

A man - with short light brown hair in light coloured ? (word illegible), shorts.

They were trying to get a little girl of Madeleine's description out of the car but she did not want to get out and was making it uneasy for the two adults. They got her out but realised my daughter and I had noticed the fuss which was going on. The lady was holding the little girl and turned her round so we could not see her face. All this happened in a matter of seconds - they sat the little girl on a low wall next to the path we walked past. The lady asked the little girl why she was making so much fuss and the little girl said, "He is always telling me what to do and I don't like it". He sat next to her and spoke very good English however I cannot remember what she(sic) said. But I can remember that not at anytime did the little girl call the adults mummy and daddy.

The little girl was tightly hugging 3 cuddly toys - the biggest was a pink and white stripey bagpuss.
She did not look at all happy but she was clean - only her hair needed a good brush.

It seemed obvious that the adults were not English but the small child was.

My daughter and I went into one shop and I believe they went into the supermarket next door, my husband went to a cash point nearby and he noticed what the car was.



Page 1676 (Page 2 of 2 )

All this happened very quickly and it was not until we got back to our apartment that we all realised we were worried about what we had seen, and as I had said before we have been trying to tell somebody since. We returned to the UK on Saturday.

Prainha Village (?? Near Alvor, Portugal ??)

4th June 2007

Dear Inspector Sousa/Policia,

On Saturday evening, 2nd June (5.30-5.45pm) I saw four women sitting on a bench under a large tree, between the Marina Footbridge, Lagos, and the spot where the African man sells wooden ornaments made in Senegal.

All four women were dressed identically - all wore black head dress on black shawls, only their faces were visible. They appeared to me to be of Bosnian or Romanian origin. They did not appear to be having any kind of conversation. With them was a child, (girl - 3-3 1/2 years ?) in a basic type buggy (not...?...)(word illegible) )...with a blue seat. The little girl was trying to get out of the buggy, she.....

...was wearing a summer hat (whitish with a pattern ?). I noticed her plaited hair, on the child's right side, sticking out underneath the hat, her hair colour looked similar to Madeleine McCann's hair colour.

The women were facing the river and the child was facing the women.

The report then continues thus :

On 7th June 2007, Cheda, f/n Jesus, was in Ipanema, Brazil when he saw who he believes to be McCann, f/n Madeleine. Dr Cheda states he observed a tall white male with light brown hair sitting with a young girl (who he believes to be the missing) at an outdoor cafe on the Nosimento es Silva.
What struck him as peculiar was how the girl and the male were not interacting. Dr Chea states he later saw the same man and girl on the Vienes de Morales heading towards the beach, still not acting like they knew each other.


Page 1684 (Page 2 of 2 )

Cheda, f/n Jesus, states that he has seen pictures of the missing child on the Brazilian Online News Source : Folha de Paulo. Dr Cheda also states that the young girl he saw had "brownish" hair, similar to a photo of the missing on that website.
