Girl In India Is Not Maddie - Says Kate and Gerry McCann

This is what I feared when I first heard the news yesterday.

Madeleine McCann's parents had their hopes crushed again last night after a dramatic "sighting" in India was revealed as another girl, not Maddie.

An elderly British woman and American man spotted a girl resembling Maddie with a couple in the remote town of Leh. Maddie would now be eight, and a little girl with a remarkable resemblance was taken for DNA testing this week.
The British woman alerted other tourists and an American man even tried to grab the little girl away from her parents.




Indian detectives arrived and confiscated passports belonging to the mother and father, a Belgian man and French woman. DNA tests are being carried out to establish the girl's identity.

Although the DNA tests have not come back yet, the McCanns say the child is definitely not Maddie. Their spokesperson said: "Kate and Gerry do not believe the child was Madeleine. They have seen photographic evidence and concluded that it was not her."

A journalist on the scene said the girl looked exactly like the missing child: "She had a striking resemblance to the picture of Madeleine before she disappeared."

Mr Singh said the girl appeared confused and the parents could offer no proof she was their daughter, although the girl confirmed she was.

The journalist added: "She was hiding her face behind the French lady. She could speak fluent French."



What Maddie Is Expected To Look Like Now Aged 8

Maddie was nearly 4-years-old when she vanished from her family's holiday apartment in Praia da Luz, Portugal, in May 2007.

Their McCann's representative thanked people last night for still looking for Maddie, who they believe is still alive:

"We remain grateful for people's vigilance around the world. Madeleine is still out there - and the search for her very much continues."

McCann Family Says They've Known About The Possible Maddie Sighting For Days

It looks like Madeleine McCann's parents. are not sure that the little girl spotted in India is in fact their daughter.

Local police are said to be investigating after a British woman spotted a six-year-old girl who appeared to resemble Madeleine in a market in the city of Leh in northern India on Friday night.

A French woman and a Belgian man who were with the girl insisted they were her biological parents but police took their passports to check. Their family spokesperson has now said the investigators are looking into the case but nothing substantial has happened:

"The private investigators currently searching for Madeleine have been aware of this report from India for several days, and have been working to establish its veracity. So far unfortunately there is nothing to suggest that this sighting is any more credible than any of the many others we have had over the last four-plus years."
I will keep you updated on any more developments.

Has Madeleine McCann Been Found?

This could be huge!

The parents of missing Madeleine McCann are awaiting the results of a DNA test after a young girl was spotted in India that tourists believe to be Maddie.

Kate and Gerry McCann's team of private investigators say they are working with police in the Indian city of Leh. Where British and American tourists alerted police that they had spotted a young girl who looked like Maddie, with a couple.




Detectives say Madeline would probably look like this now.
A British woman raised concerns with other tourists who agreed and one, an American man, tried to take the girl from the couple. But the people who allege to be the child's parents, the woman is French and the husband is Belgian, are saying that the girl is their daughter.

However, police in the city are taking the situation seriously and have taken swabs so that DNA tests can be carried out. A spokesman for Leh police said:

"It all depends upon the evidence like DNA for which help from Madeleine's parents and the British police was required."

Meanwhile a representative for Maddie's parents said:

"Our private investigators are aware of the reports from India over the weekend about a possible sighting of Madeleine. We are liaising with the Indian authorities over the incident and await the results of the DNA test."
Madeleine was days short of her fourth birthday when she went missing on a family holiday in Praia da Luz, Portugal, in May 2007.

The official Portuguese inquiry into Madeleine's disappearance was formally shelved in July 2008, although private detectives employed by the McCanns have continued the search.

I hope they don't get their hopes up too much, and if this isn't Maddie I feel terrible for the parents who have had to go through this DNA test with their daughter.
