THE WORLDWIDE search for the missing toddler Madeleine McCann took a strange twist last week when an English psychic led police to Boyle.
Local Gardai searched an area in Boyle last week for the four-year-old child after they were contacted by Interpol in Dublin. Sergeant Mick Carty of Boyle Garda Station confirmed to the Roscommon Herald that Gardai searched “a certain area in Boyle”.
“We got a tip off from a member of the public in England and as a result of that we searched a certain area in Boyle. We checked this out and regrettably nothing came of if. We would have liked to have been in a position to help the McCann family,” said Sergeant Carty.
It is understood that a psychic working with the English police believed that the missing Leicestershire toddler may have been in the Boyle area.
The tip off was relayed to local Gardai in Boyle and they searched an area last week. Gardai would not reveal the exact location where they carried out the search but simply said it was a “certain area in Boyle”. (Roscommon Herald 13th June 2007)
