Police last night had a new lead in the search for missing Madeleine McCann — that gipsies may have snatched her:
A holidaymaker revealed he spotted a fair-skinned little blonde girl in the back of a horse-drawn cart three weeks ago. Retired pilot Andre van Wyk, 66, told how a woman in the cart quickly covered the sleeping youngster’s face with a shawl. He was so suspicious he trailed the cart to a gipsy camp ten miles from where Maddie, four, vanished 48 days ago in Portugal’s Algarve. Last night Van Wyk told The Sun: “I followed it to what looked like a gipsy camp next to the old bridge at Portimao. I saw an impeccably dressed blonde woman collect the blonde child from the older dark-skinned woman who had been carrying her. I assumed the blonde woman was the mother and that they were in some way innocently connected to the gipsy group. “But it’s been playing on my mind ever since. The little girl looked so out of place.” Van Wyk, a South African, also described a bizarre encounter with a gipsy woman at Faro Airport as he checked in for a flight out of Portugal. She peered over his shoulder as he read a Sun article about Maddie and said in broken English: “They no find girl with picture.” He walked off after pointing at the photo of Madeleine and saying: “Hair cut short — hair black.” Police last night had a new lead in the search for missing Madeleine McCann — that gipsies may have snatched her.
Van Wyk said: “It was very odd. I had no idea if she was trying to tell me something she knew or whether she was just giving me her opinion.”
His witness statement — which he first sent to The Sun — was immediately relayed by us to the McCann family via their Foreign Office adviser Clarence Mitchell.
The quiet period certianly didn't last for long -- if this witness statement is credible. I recall saying this:
"New life in a decadent system. But alas there will be insufficient time to contemplate it all as this quiet period must soon draw to a close as some impatient individual cries out 'get on with it' ... and the media circus arrives for another round. But what will it be this time? Another sighting ... this time more believable than the last time around? Another phone call ... another letter ... there is something theatrical about the props that someone keeps providing. Surely, most surely all this attention must herald some results ... I will treat it suspiciously if someone were to announce they've seen and also talked to Maddy ... perhaps" (extract from Daily Merlin 18th June 2007)
Okay ... can we believe the eye witness account? At the end of the day .... the 'gypsies' could be just about anyone dressed up to LOOK like gypsies ... means nothing.

Interesting combination of images. There appears to be an illusion formed here. On the face of it most people will accept the credibility of the eye-witness account. Folk will summon up the subconscious imagery that is what the 'master illusionist' wants them to summon with regard to gypsies. It is too easy to achieve. An illusion this. Another smokescreen. The main thing to remember here -- Maddy has been sighted alive. Gypsies can be actors dressed in props ... means nothing. I take that part with a pinch of salt. Someone wished the world media to know Maddy is alive. That part is correct about the images. The rest is an illusion in my eyes. Be now interesting to see this next stage --- this next layer of the planned deception --- unfold. There is a clear plan designed here. This rises into my awareness with certainty. Maddy is safe from harm ... but why let the world think she is with the travelling people? Slavery perhaps ... the idea of a child pedophile ring can now be dismissed ... and something equally as 'appalling' can spring to mind ... child slavery. This is something again I do not accept. It is another smokescreen. More smoke that disguises the truth again. Buying more time ... letting the month roll by still further ... someone is going to real trouble to camouflage the real path. I sense the illusion around this story very strongly. Especially in the light of what I was 'given' on 18th June 2007 about the 'next story' appearing ... to bring the quiet period to a premature end.
