Subject: PSP Information about a telephone call from England relating to a missing girl

I bring to your attention that at about 09.45 a telephone call was received by this police station from Officer Ferreira from the PSP tourist post in Lisbon relating to the disappearance of the English girl on 03 – 05 – 2007.

The PSP officer informed us that he had received a phone call from England from someone speaking English who said that they had information about the suspect of the child’s abduction. The officer added that he had some difficulty in understanding part of the communication, perhaps because of the accent, but that he remembered some facts and a telephone number for subsequent contact and he would like to pass this information onto the investigating officers.

For this purpose, officer Ferreira was given the number of the Portimao DIC and it was suggested that this information should be sent to Lisbon by fax.

The fax was received at 10.15 together with this service information.

Subject: Girl Abducted from the Algarve

At about 20.30 a phone call was received at this station from someone who identified himself as I** O***** da S***** L***** a resident of S. Pedro Da Cova giving the following information:

Moments before when he was at the CESPA PAC in S. Pedro da Cova, he saw a Peugeot van there, with a Spanish number plate with a number that he did not note, which was transporting a man and a girl aged about three, with the same characteristics as the girl who had been abducted from the Algarve.

At 21.45 Officer Costa from the GNR informed us that the individual had contacted the post and said that the vehicle, whose number plate he did not note down was transporting 4 gentlemen who spoke Portuguese and paid 20 Euro for the petrol.

Officer Costa also informed us that I**** Had given the phone number of a friend.

From the different contacts received by Officer Costa it was obvious that the confusion generated by I** with relation to the time that he had seen the vehicle stop for petrol and the communication of the facts to the police, saying that everything had happened at about 18.00, when in reality he contacted the police station at about 20.30.

The confusion in the times caused delays in viewing the video tapes of the PAC and, as a result, the obtaining of the number plate of the suspected vehicle as well as a delay in carrying out the necessary inquiries.

The credibility of the information was doubted.

However, the GNR immediately divulged the details of the car.

At 0.50 we contacted Sergeant Osorio from Matosinhos DIC who told us that I** was now saying that it was a Peugeot car, model 407 and that the two occupants, sitting on the back seat with the girl in between them were gypsies. No clear element of the sighting was obtained.

At 2.30 we were contacted by Sergeant Osorio, who apart from the fact of referring to the multiple versions presented by I** during the course of the night, when the video recording was examined, no car with these characteristics was seen at the place indicated by the individual, in spite of the fact that the place was covered by the focus of the cameras.

If we had not already had doubts about the seriousness of the information given by I**, the elements now gathered enabled us to conclude that I** consciously tried to deviate attention and interfere with the work of all those who were arduously trying to clarify the case.

Subject: Information related to the girl recently abducted from the Algarve

Today at about 20.30 this station was contacted by telephone by a male individual who did not identify himself and informed us of the following: today at about 17.00 at the Miramar beach, near to Senhor da Pedra, Vila Nova da Gaia, where he was resting, he saw a girl very similar to various photos that had been shown in the press relating to a three year old girl who recently disappeared from the Algarve.

At that moment the girl was accompanied by a male individual, but as all his attention was focussed on the girl, he did not pay attention to details, he can only say that the individual was aged about 35/40, of a strong physical appearance, wearing a dark t-shirt and trousers. With regard to the girl, he can only remember that her hair was drawn back into two pony tails at the neck

They left in a Renault car, he cannot remember the model, number plate 75-74-LH. His attention was drawn by the fact that contrary to the law, there was no special child seat in the back of the car.

They left in the direction of the Francelos-Miramar main road.

When the SPO was consulted, it was found that this vehicle was registered in the name of F****** T****** A*****.


No information was found about the individual from the PJ databases.
