Sir,
Malta progress to date is as follows :
1. We have A1198 in with Interpol, poss sighting Msida.
2. A1775, poss sighting Qawra, in to Interpol.
3. Email sent from me to Task Portugal at 18:22, 18th June, which was from the Maltese re a poss sighting in Valetta.

There will be two further emails after this one, both to me from ....
(Note : Next line indecipherable other than final 3 words, "have been informed").


(Note : Here : is a handwritten entry of 11 lines, in the Portuguese Language, dated 27th June 2007, which refers to reported sightings in Malta and to John Hughes (DC). This entry appears to have overwritten part of this report)

The report then continues thus :

take some time to do this request to Malta.
Most replies we get back from other countries don't take us far, as many can't be verified or discounted, and I feel these will be the same.
Can we ask the Portuguese for some input as what we do with them, i.e. are we going to ask for all the people who ring in with similar children to be seen and timelined against the other sightings.



Page 1701 (Page 2 of 2 )

This will obviously be a fairly big project and will impact on the other sighting's work.

Information :
I'm a professional driver. I'm in GERMANY at the moment travelling on the A7. About 12pm UK time, 1pm German time I think I saw Madeleine at a service station. This is the first service station on the A7 about 15 kilometers south of Hamburg, about J37 southbound. The girl was about 5 years old wearing a cream cotton skirt, cream or light blue T-shirt and cream and blue patterned tights. She was holding a woolley knitted rag doll. Her hair was blonde and in a ponytail. She was with 2 men. One mid-50's, one late-40's. They were in a Citreonmini-bus which was done out like a camper van inside, I could see cooking facilities and beds. It had tinted windows. It was burgundy in colour with a German registration of 'xxxxxxx'. I thought it strange because one of the men was holding a handful of toilet tickets, which suggested to me that they had been travelling for some time. You have to purchase a toilet ticket to use the toilet at a service station and they had lots of them.

Interview started at : 18.30 : Interview closed at : 18.45

Interview Mode : Telephone

Report :
Marie was on vacation last week in MALLORCA together with 2 girl-friends. When she arrived home she read about the missing girl in Portugal and then there was an incident last week that Marie observed that can be connected to the disappearance of the girl.

A man was sitting on the beach and he had dug a large pit in which he himself was sitting. He was sitting in a chair and was making sand pies to himself. A little girl that according to Marie could have been about 4 years old was sitting in a buggy close by, completely apathetic. She was only wearing bikini trousers. After a while the girl fell asleep and her head was hanging and everything, according to Marie, looked very abnormal. After a while a man came from their hotel and told the man in the pit that he had to cover the girl against the sun. Marie then saw that the man in the pit sprayed the girl's face and body with sun-factor.

When the girl woke up she staggered for a while around the man in the pit.

The girl in the buggy looked exactly like the girl Madeleine that disappeared in Portugal. She has her age, hair colour and size of body. She was about 4 years old, ash-coloured hair that was tied into a bun at the back. She was sitting in a pink buggy. Marie reached to the fact that this did not seem to be normal. The man did not seem to be the father of the girl. They never bathed.
Marie saw them for about 1-2 hours and then they disappeared.

Marie was on the beach of PALMA NOVA in Mallorca and it was probably in the afternoon of May 23rd or 24th May. It was the hottest part of the day.

The man appeared to be tall - he was sitting the whole time, on the top of his head he had no hair, but otherwise he had hair. He had ash-blonde hair and he looked European. Language not known. About 50-55 years old and he only wore bathing trunks. Slender build.

Transcript was read out and approved.

Information :
At approx. 1400hrs on 23rd May 2007 you saw a woman with a child in a pushchair who looked like Maddy, she was wearing a white summer hat which looked too small, something in her mouth which was black. Small T-shirt and shorts on.

The pushchair red with a red hood, slightly reclined, her legs were crossed in lotus position and both were up on the seat.

I could see a tiny bit of hair sticking out from the hat and it was mousy blonde in colour.

The woman with her was 5'6" to 5'8" tall, very thin, white, did not have any tan and her hair was blonde bob, shoulder length. She was wearing similar to the child which were pastel in colour. (I think that they were both dressed in the same colour).

Photographs I have seen looked fatter than the child.

On a crossing in Vilamoura, Portugal, there is a road with a Casino on it and there are several crossings around the area. As my husband and I were crossing they were waiting to cross in the other direction and another couple.

My husband went to help her down with the pushchair and she refused and looked very angry, crossed directly in front of me and I was unable to get onto the pavement.

That is when I saw the child's eyes and they looked black, the child was very thin and pale.

I did not hear the woman speak and she went off down the side of the road near a hotel Villa Gayl (not sure of the spelling(sic) ). Hotel is next door to the Casino.

As the child seemed so thin I did not link this to Madeleine as she looked too thin from the photo's I had seen.

The iris on the eye with marking on it they(sic) eye that did not have the marking on was completely dilated.

On the other eye only had a dash on it.

I had reported this to the Police in Portugal, Vilamoura, on Friday 26th May. They gave me some numbers to ring if I saw anything again and they took all the information that you (sic) (copy of my notes).

This statement (consisting of 6 page(s) each signed by me) is true to the best of my knowledge and bleief and I make it knowing that, if it is tendered in evidence, I shall be liable to prosecution if I have wilfully stated anything in it, which I knoe to be false, or do not beleive to be true.

I am the above named person and I reside at the address overleaf.
On Monday 21st May 2007, I flew out with my husband, Shaun Christopher Howell, dob 19th May 1958, to the Algarve. We were spending 7 days at the Dom Pedro Portobelo Hotel, Avenida Tivoli, Lote HS, Vilamoura 8125410, Portugal.
The hotel is situated on a one-way road, which allows two cars to travel side-by-side, very similar to a dual carriageway. The beach is situated on the opposite side of this road, and down a road with a small island at the bottom. The beach is approximately 400 yards at the bottom of this road. Directly opposite the road that leads to the beach, is the driveway that leads to our hotel. The Dom Pedro Portobelo Hotel is on your righthand side as you walk up this driveway, the sister hotel, Dom Pedro Marina is on your lefthand side. On the corner of this driveway, the Dom Pedro Marina side, is a pedestrian crossing that goes across.....

Continuation of statement of : Susan Ann Howell

........the main road.
At about 1345hrs on 23rd May 2007, the Wednesday, myself and Shaun were walking back to our hotel from the beach. We were walking along the road on the righthand side, that leads from the beach to our hotel. As we got to the top of this road, I do not know it's name, we crossed over it in order to use the pedestrian crossing. As we waited for a break in the traffic, Shaun was stood to my left. The road is extremely busy with traffic, and unlike the United Kingdom, the traffic does not stop to allow pedestrians to cross at a crossing. When a gap in th etraffic presented itself, I began to cross with Shaun. Shaun is a faster walker than myself, and therefore was slightly ahead of myself to my left. When across the road, I became aware of a female with a pushchair in front of me to my right. She was on the corner of the road and driveway to the hotels. At this point I was still focusing on the road, and getting across safely.
When I was almost across the road, I became aware that Shaun had gestured......

Continuation of statement of : Susan Ann Howell

.........to someone. When I looked up at this point, the woman with the pushchair was in front of me. I looked at the child first, and I could see that it was a young girl sat in the chair with her legs crossed, and she had her hands together holding them close to her chin. She was holding something in her hands which was black in colour, and she was biting onto it. The child looked straight at me, and immediately her eyes caught my attention. Her left iris was so dilated, it almost completely covered the colour of the eye. The child's right eye was also dilated, but not as much as the left eye. I could clearly see a small mark on the bottom left part of the coloured part of the eye as you look at it. The child's face also looked long and pale, and her arms and legs appeared to be thin. The child looked about 3 years old, and was wearing a white summer hat that appeared small. I could see hair under the hat that was mousy blond in colour. The bits that I could see were shoulder length. She was wearing pastel coloured shorts, either lemon or pink, and a T-shirt that was also either lemon or pink. The T-shirt was the one colour and the shorts the other.

I then looked up, and for a........................

...the child was Madeleine McCann. I then looked at the woman, and could see that she was white with the same complexion as the child. The female had blonde hair that was cut into a shoulder length bob. She appeared to be in her mid-20's, around 5'7" - 5'8" in height. She was slim in build, and was wearing the same coloured clothing as the child, a T-shirt and shorts. The female may also have been wearing small rimmed spectacles.
I then thought the child looked like the mother, and again looked down at the child. This time the child was either looking down, or the pushchair was now down on all wheels. But I could still see the child was chewing on something.
The demeanour of the child seemed neutral(sic), she wasn't upset or seemed scared, but she didn't appear happy. She appeared blank.

...........someone who was not happy. I felt as if I was in her way.
It was at this point that Shaun pulled me out of the way and onto the pavement. At which point we converged with another couple, we both apologised to each other for being in each other's way. Myself and Shaun have then walked off.
I looked back and could see the back of the woman, walking away from me.
The pushchair wa sred in colour, with 4 wheels, with a red hood. The child's seat was forward facing. The hood was curved as opposed to a square appearance. When the woman was walking away, I could see a carrier-bag either on the left handle or left arm.
The incident lasted for only 3 seconds, and I was only 3 feet from the child, the distance from my face to her face. Visibility was very good, it was a nice sunny day, and there were no obstructions to my view. I do not know this female and had not seen her before.
I am not sure I would recognise the woman if I saw her again.
For the remainder of the day, I was constantly thinking about the child, so we began to try to call the Madeleine McCann Hotline. For..................

Operation Task

With reference to the above subject please find attached a number of documents which have been collated by G Division of Lothian and Borders Police.

A summary of the circumstances is detailed below :

On 24th May 2007, a forecourt assistant at Rutherfords Filling Station, Melrose Road, EARLSTON. Scottish Borders, became aware of a young girl in the company of a male.
She had concerns regarding their behaviour and was of the opinion that the girl fitted the description of Madeleine.

CCTV images, although poor quality, have been obtained and are attached. (The disks are held with ourselves should they be required).

We have carried out searches of ANPR for similar style vehicles in and around the area of the garage although unfortunately there are no positive results from this.

The second item of correspondence was handed into Hawick Police Station by Joyce BROWN, xx, Mxxxx Pxxxx, Hawick, Scottish Borders. She claims to be a medium and made notes as they came to her whilst she was holding an image of Madeleine. The original notes are held at Hawick Police Station but I have re-created them onto a document (attached) for your information.

(Note : Here, is a handwritten entry of 4 words, in English, ("placed with psychic informant")

Witness Statement :

Pilot Police is a Time/Distance Speed Detection device, which has been in general use for many years and is not required to be type approved. It has however been approved for use by the Association Chief Police Officers.

I am trained and authorised to conduct Field Impairment Tests to assess impairment of drivers under S3A/4 of the Road Traffic Act. 1988.

On Monday, 28th May 2007 I was working 09:00 to 22:00 hour shift on mobile patrol duties along with the witness Constable Gracie.

About 16:50 hours, on that date, we called at Rhymers Tower Service Station, Melrose Road, Earlston, to fuel our patrol car. Whilst at the pumps I was approached by a member of the car sales staff who informed me that the witness Margaret JOHNSTONE would like a word with me regarding an incident in the premises several days earlier which was playing on her mind.

I entered the shop at the premises and spoke with the witness Johnstone who told me about a man with an American accent who had called at the SErvice Station on Thursday, 24th May 2007, with a small girl who resembled Madeleine McCANN. She thought the girl spoke with an English accent. She thought the man's behaviour had been a bit odd especially that he had spent about 15 minutes in the ladies toilet single cubicle with the girl before buying a carton of Ribena and returning to his car. He had walked around the car for a while before getting in and sitting on the forecourt for another few minutes before leaving. She had not been able to obtain the car registration number.

The witness Johnstone was unable to operate th enew security system on the premises and could not copy the captured images for us. We arranged to view and have the images copied by the Manager, witness Michael Spinks, on Tuesday 29th May 2007.

On Tuesday, 29th May 2007, the witness Constable Gracie and I attended at the Service Station and viewed the video images that had been captured on a Computer Hard-Drive Disc System, I noted a statement from the witness Margaret Johnstone. We arranged with the witness Michael Spinks to copy the images onto a CD or DVD. He had not been asked to do this before and requested that we give him to late afternoon to complete this operation. We called later in the day and uplifted a CD-R of the captured images. On returning to our station we were unable to play these image files.

On Wednesday, 30th May, Constable Gracie and I again called at the Service Station and waited while the witness Michael Spinks copied the images onto 4 CD-R Discs in our presence. He signed a production label for each disc and Cirtificates of Authentication regarding the Operation of the Camera Security Surveillance System and a statement was obtained from him.

We then took the 4 CD-R Discs to the TSU at FHQ, Fettes where the images were reformatted onto video, still CD images and 4 snapshot stills. Due to these images being captured in very compressed computer file format the quality of image was found to be very poor and enlarging or enhancing of the images to read vehicle registration numbers was not possible.

The vehicle in question appears to be a 4-door, silver or grey coloured, Toyota Corolla hatchback motor car. The child in the images bares enough resemblance to Madeleine McCANN to warrant further investigation.

The complete file of statements, Certificates of Aunthenticity, 4 CD-R Discs, video tape, CD stills disc and still snapshots were handed over to DC Stephen HALLS for further enquiry.

I took no further part in this enquiry.

The first part of this page appears to be the continuation of Margaret Johnstone's witness statement, and Page 1205 contains the beginning of her statement. But I will transcribe the pages as presented in the File)

Witness Statement

He took the girl back to the car and I think, but cannot be sure, that he put her in the front seat. He sat in the car for a while before he drove away. I could not see the car registration number and intended to get it when he drove away. The shop got busy and I missed him driving off. I checked the toilet after they left. It was clean, nothing out of place and not even smelly.

I do not think I would recognise either of them again.

Section 3. (Free Text)

About 3pm (1500) on Thursday, 24th May 2007 I was working 2pm to 10pm (1400-2200) in Rutherford's, Rhymers Tower Service Station, Melrose Rose, Earlston, when a man drove onto the forecourt in a small silver car, there was a small girl in the car with him, she looked about 4 years old. He came into the shop and led the girl into the corridor beside the counter and I asked him what he was looking for. He answered "the toilet" and asked if the ladies was a single cubicle, I answered "yes" and he said that was what he was looking for. He took the girl into the toilet, they were in there for about 15 minutes. I thought this was a long time and approached the door a few times, I could not hear anything from within. After what seemed an unusually long time they came back out into the shop. Neither the child, nor the man, seemed distressed or flustered. The girl asked for sweets but he said no and came to the counter with a carton of Ribena.

The man was about 6 feet, dark hair, wore tinted glasses which he removed when he came into the shop, slim, light skinned, 40-ish, he spoke with an American accent. He was wearing a black shirt but I can't remember what else. The child was about 4 years old, female, bobbed dirty blonde hair, 3 feet tall, fair complexion, spoke with what I thought was an English accent although she only said "sweets". The man paid cash, did not buy anything else and did not bring anything in with him.

Re : Request from Leicestershire Police re statement from Rxxxxx Oxxx.

Sir,

Regarding your request re the above, I have the following to report :
Officer's have made coontact with Rxxxxx Oxxx, x, Cxxx Bxxx, Colwyn Bay, and have attended to take a statement.

It is Officer's opinion that Oxxx suffers from Mental Health issues. She was extremely difficult to communicate with and constantly digressed from the issue. She has refused to give a statement without her solicitor being present, and says that she fears reprisals from the criminal underworld. She has given a different VRM to that initially provided, she has now given 'xxxx xxx'. This comes back to a local keeper approximately 10 miles from Oxxx's home address.

Throughout the time Officer's were speaking to her, she displayed signs of Mental Health issues.
We have been unable to establish if this is a genuine sighting, but in light of the above, suspect it is false or misguided information.

I can be contacted on 0149251xxxx if you have any queries.

Regards,

PS2456 Tony Harvey

Recently returned from a holiday in Portugal, do I the suggestion also attention to Spend at the beaches of the province ALENTEJO, as this done becomes not yet.

The following fell my woman and me on :

JI Friday 1 June 07 we came on the beach of ALMOGRAVE DE MAR, against 11.45 hour.

It was not warm so defense and what many wind, thus very quiet with at the most 2 men on the beach.

We saw that a woman with a child of a year or three/four. It carried a sunglasses with Strapa and a zonnehoedje and, fell the us on, it a little untidily had been dress.

A beigeachige color dress pant and sweater as young, but it wanted to have just as its a girl. De woman (or the mother?) held the child on lap, played and cuddled Him or her. It fell on the child no beach toys with self had.

After about 15 minutes a man the beach came on, talked what with the woman, and one Left jointly the beach. This would be able to be the man or friend of the named woman.

From curiosity, I of the beach am gone down to the parking space what from the car, and a dark blue car saw to get read with an "others" man with sunglasses on the driver place a periodical.

(This car stood there already with the same person in the same attitude then we there arrived).

On a distance could I now see that self also on the back seat one or several persons found.,.

The continuation waited not for I thus knowledge not or the car short or long after 12.15 hour is driven away.

The drivers of the car was a southern type.

What we found strange :

A mother do not plays on this manner with her child. If they go conscious to the beach

Why taken then no single piece toys along ? Why the child scrupulously on lap......



Page 1535 (Page 2 of 2 )

....Hold ? The beach is broad and in a well-organized manner enough and can walk away the child that with difficulty unseen.

The child appeared clothing to carry, as if the bought would be able to be without presence of the child.

Our feeling says that the woman with child not a day beach wanted, but just from the car

What let became to get fresh air ?

Probable are there many similar cases on so much beaches, but our feelings says that it no

Wrong can to let know our experiences and/or suspicion. Perhaps a cause for the Police also the named surroundings once after under the magnifying glass to take.

Hopefully Madeleine will healthy and shortly be found again !

Dear Sir,

Please find a report regarding a sighting of Madeleine McCann from a subject in West Sussex.

A statement has not been taken as the information provided by the subject is deemed to be untrue - she did not tell anyone at the time that she had seen the missing person.

I pass this report to you for your information.

Kind regards,

David Springett
Detective Constable
Crawley Police Station
