At 2105 hours on Friday 17th August 2007 I was on duty at Worksop Police Station
when I spoke with Mr Alan HARDWICK ( Born 13/02/1947). Home address 'xx', Sxxxxxx
Lxxx, Worksop, Nottinghamshire, Sxx xxE. Tel : 019094xxxxx.
Mr HARDWICK has just returned from a two week holiday in Greece where he believed
he sighted Madeleine McCann numerous times during this two week period.
Mr HARDWICK travelled with his wife Carol HARDWICK, they left the UK on 2nd August
2007 and returned on 16th August 2007. They stayed at the Sanibeech Hotel which is a
large complex at Alcadike(sic), (unsure of the correct spelling(sic)),..(Note : Possibly
means Halkidiki)..., Greece. They travelled with First Choice Holidays.
Mr HARDWICK first sighted the girl who closely resembled McCANN(sic) on or around
the second day of his holiday. He states he saw a man around forty years with the girl
at the bottom end of the beach, away from everyone else, trying to get the girl to go in
the sea. The girl was crying and HARDWICK approached them and said, "SHE
PROBABLY DOES NOT LIKE IT MATE MAYBE TOO COLD FOR HER". HARDWICK says
the man did not speak and picked the girl up covering his face and walked away.
Mr HARDWICK said he then saw the same man with the girl in the Restaurant. This time
they were with a woman. Mr HARDWICK was looking at the girl, however when he went
to the toilet and then returned they left.
Mr HARDWICK states he saw the man and girl around the pool several times however
the girl was never allowed near other children and they always sat away from others.
On one occasion a photographer came round and when they got to the man and the
girl the man put a book up to her face so no photograph could be taken. On one
occasion a family are filming each other and the man shields both himself and the girl
from the camera.
Mr HARDWICK also lists several other things that he feels are odd :
When the English newspapers arrive they always disappeared
The man was never in the bars in the evening
The man and woman were rarely together and seemed something of an odd couple.

Madeleine McCann Sighting.
During the first few days of the stay there was a Black Volvo 850, which you rarely see
in Greece. Yhe VRM was 'xx' (or 'xx') 'xx' (or 'xx'). Mr HARDWICK thinks that Police
were looking for a Volvo.
Mr HARDWICK never really saw the man's face, however what he did see resembled a
photofit that had been in the Press.
Mr HARDWICK completed a handwritten LOG which I have seized and exhibited. This
is currently in the 'Other Than Found' Property Store at Worksop Police Station under
reference 416065.
If you wish to discuss this matter further with me please contact Worksop Police
Station on 01909500999 ext 'xxxx'. My mobile number is 077907xxxxx.
