Detectives are investigating a reported sighting of Madeleine McCann in Belgium made earlier this week. (Daily Telegraph Saturday 9th August 2008)
A bank security guard in Brussels said she saw a blonde, blue eyed girl who bore a striking resemblance to the missing girl in a KBC branch in the west of the city on Monday morning. She was brought into the bank by a woman of North African origin, according to the security guard.
The sighting follows more than 100 of Madeleine in Belgium over the last 15 months.
Johan Berckmans, a spokesman for the West Brussels police department, said: "We are taking it seriously and we are investigating. A person working in the bank reported it. We have several teams looking for her. We have to be certain."
Belgian police are scouring CCTV images from the bank to see if the girl was captured on camera.
Servants of the Light Images - Four of Spheres, The Lovers - it appears this sighting could well prove inconclusive. There is nothing here to suggest an affirmative. The upturned pandora's box has many contents discarded. Somewhere there are faces attempting to conceal a trail.
