Call from Mrs Dawn Jones of xx, Hxxxxx Lxxx, Sheffield, (South Yorkshire).
Caller is currently in Spain at her holiday home - 12, Al Ancalus, Playa Flamenco(sic), Spain.
On the evening of Sunday 29th July between 2100hrs and 2200hrs Mrs Jones believes she sighted Madeleine McCann.
She was going to the pub-bar 'Haratios' (street name unknownbut just around the corner from caller's holiday home). The area was busy so herself and her husband had parked their car around the corner and walked past a bar (name unknown but next door to bar 'Haratios') to get to bar 'Haratios'.
In the bar (not 'Haratios') she believes she saw Madeleine at a table O.S (??outside?) with a female and a small boy.
Female described as adult female, late 40's-early 50's, bleached blonde hair scraped back. Medium/normal build - No other description.
Small boy described as approx 7,8,9 yrs, very dark hair. No other description.
Girl she believed to be Madeleine described as same height, very slim, same colouring hair and skin. She had a fringe cut. Unable to see her eyes. Described as looking very sad and unhappy.
They were all at a table O.S (??outside?) this bar next to 'Haratios - Next to the table was a pink pushchair and some cigarettes and lighter on the table.
Caller carried on walking to the bar 'Haratios' but then told her husband that she was sure that the girl was Madeleine so she turned back. When caller walked back the female, boy and small girl were not at the table, but cigarettes, lighter and pushchair were still in situ.
Caller then looked and saw the female sat in a chair across the road next to an enclosed 'bouncy castle'. The small child she believes to be Madeleine was stood on a raised platform waiting to go onto the 'bouncy castle'.
Caller stood looking at the young girl to which she describes the girl holding her gaze, looking very sad/unhappy.
Caller states she was 20-30 feet away and was stood looking for a good couple of minutes. The only light was from surrounding pub and a light that was next to the 'bouncy castle'.
All 3 of the described persons have not been seen before this. Caller has not seen them since either.
Caller unknown if any CCTV in the area - She will walk around the area tonight and check - will also go back to same location to see if she sights them again.
Page 2509 (Page 3 of 3 )
The staff at bar 'Haratios' are all Polish. Caller does not know anyone else that was in the area at the time.
Caller not sure when they left the area but states that when she walked back to the car they weren't sat at the bar nor near the 'bouncy castle'.
Caller states she has an uncanny feeling that this is Madeleine. She has not contacted before now as she wasn't sure what to do. She didn't see any Spanish Police on the night and cannot communicate with them. She has spoken with her daughter (back home in England) and her husband about this.
I believe the call to be a genuine call and I am happy that the information given by caller is genuine.
