Madeleine McCann – Fresh sightings and photographs in Southern Europe

FunctionPix Headline
'Local sightings supported by photographic images are now in the hands of the local police' says:
Police are tonight investigating fresh claims that the missing 4 year old Madeleine McCann has been seen in Malta boarding a boat with an Arab family. The boat, a private yacht, set sail shortly afterwards and there were multiple sightings and some were so convinced it was the missing child that they approached the family but were blocked from getting any closer by security guards.Images of the sighting were handed to police and all ports in the region are being monitored and special services have been dispatched in the region. Portuguese security officials today commented and said “It is a distinct possibility that Madeleine has been held captive on a vessel like the one seen here in Malta today and so we are very keen to track this boat very quickly”.



**Opinion Update**

Just how genuine is this report? Since this post was published .... which was several hours ago ... I've been surfing the main news web sites (The Express, The Mail, Sky News etc) and so far there appears to be no colloboration with this news headline. Being the 'Doubting Thomas' I hold the salt cellar in one hand ... and admit my breath is bated. I feel suspicious of these sightings. This feels like a smokescreen trail about to be unearthed. Another goose breaks for cover above the tree tops by the looks of it. This is another hoax in a long line of distorted truths. There may be a boat which has a blond haired little girl on board ... in the crazy adrenalin surging atmosphere which has been generated in the Mediterranean at the moment with all the supposed Malta sightings ... many people are bound to consider all blonde haired little girls on boats as being Maddy. I would love to be well & truly wrong with this assessment of this new's story, but ... until there is a collaboratory story to confirm this headline, this posting is being placed in The Sceptics Corner. My stance remains as it was before ... here in the No Man's Land atop the iceberg where I still stand ... Maddy left Malta some time ago. She is more than likely nestling in a warm bed somewhere within a string of volcanic islands.
