Inspectors,

I don’t not know up to what point my information will be important as I am not certain of anything. In truth, every time that Madeleine’s image appears on TV, I am struck not by the image where her face is in the foreground, but by the image where the girl appears at a distance with long hair...and that in a cake shop in my area, “Arco Iris”, I observed a foreign couple accompanied by two children, one of them a baby in a push chair, who was very blond and the other a girl who looked like the missing child (photo of whole body and with long hair).

The man had a foreign look to him, bronzed and with fair to brown hair, short but wavy, he was perhaps too tall as I thought that the size of his head was disproportionate (very small) for the size of his body.

I am from and resident in Coruche, a place where in general you do not see foreigners. What has prevented me from contacting you is not being certain...I don’t know if it was the girl nor of the day I saw her but I think it was on Friday 4th May. I have already spoken about the subject with one of the employees of the establishment and she does not remember the day either.

Thank you for your attention.

My daughter, assistant at Faro airport, told me that a colleague of hers, two or three days after Madeleine’s disappearance, told her that two Russians embarked, accompanied by a girl similar in appearance to Madeleine, whose child passport was hand written, which she found strange. It should be noted that at this time there were already photographs of the girl up in the airport, but they were all black and white.

With compliments

Dear Sir or Madam, forgive the intrusion but I had to send these photos.

That they seem to me to be very similar to Madelen (sic) with some differences in the hair.

I would not feel good if I did not do this, they were seen in Lagos on 7-10-2007 at the Aerodrome, the man has an earring on the right side, the woman has two rings in her nose. They seemed English.

With compliments.

Always available for clarification.

Report


Date: 2007-09-10

Subject: Girl Resembling Madeleine McCann

Location of Occurrence: Public road, Sao Joao da Madeira

Witness
Name: Olga Lopes
Residence: Sao Joao da Madeira

Additional information:

When I was at work in the squad Olga Lopes addressed me and said that at about 13.00 at the place mentioned previously, near to her home, next to the Padaria Central, at the fountain that is there, she saw a girl who drew her attention and who was very similar and with characteristics resembling those of the missing girl from the Algarve, known as Madeleine Beth McCann.


The similarities were the following: she appeared to be 4 years old, female, she had various wound type marks on her arms and legs, her hair was blond and came down to the middle of her arms, she was wearing a red dress and white sandals.

She also had a defect in her eye like Beth.

The girl was alone and with her arms around her face, hiding from someone and when she saw the man who was looking for her she ran to the centre of the square and then to Rua do Visconde de Sao Joao da Madeira, disappearing from sight. This are is undergoing construction work and pedestrian traffic has been affected.

Upon the act of fleeing the girl’s eyes and face were very red and great fear was noted in her as she fled from the man who was chasing her.

The man was about 20-30, bald, very tall and muscular, with brown eyes and wearing a dark blue shirt.

Everything indicated that the girl was scared of the man who was running after her, without saying a word or calling her by her name, a fact which left the witness stupefied and alarmed, she couldn’t stop thinking about that act, that moment, which is why she brought it to our attention.


At the moment there are no reports of a missing girl in this city and in this squad which is why I bring this to your attention.

Signed

Dear sirs,

I am writing from Madeira, Portugal.

Today on the island at Sao Martin, inside a public bus a girl was seen who was very similar to Madeleine McCann.

Small, blonde, with straight hair, wearing a flowery dress, accompanied by two old women of a very bad appearance.

We think this could be the girl missing from the Algarve.

Thanks, best compliments.

C. Ribeiro.

Dear Sirs,

I am sending this email, conscious of the fact that the information I am sending you might be irrelevant and not of interest. However, I think I can not let pass the episode that happened to me at the end of last week.

I was in Sao Martinho de Porto (Caldas da Raina) with my wife and my three year old niece, playing in a park close to the beach. At a given moment two male individuals appeared with 5 female children aged between 3 and 5. Up to this point all was well but two things caught my attention:

- the smallest girl was very similar to the photo that you have on your website of the English girl. She had the same haircut. However, both my wife and I thought that her eyes were brown and that the girl appeared small for a 4 year old. However, I repeat that the similarities were striking.

- another thing that caught our attention was that the girl in question never spoke and that the men called her Raquel. I also found it strange that these men appeared to be alone with the children and took many photos of them using different cameras.

One of the men was of German origin (?) and the other was Portuguese.

As I say, I don’t know if this scene was strange just by suggestion but both my wife and I found it to be so. I do not want to create panic or confusion, I am aware that you must receive numerous irrelevant messages but I felt I had to describe this curious episode.

Thanks
