There have been 11 alleged sightings of Madeleine on Malta dating back to May 27. Some witnesses have said she was with a man, others with a woman.
One man took a picture of a child he believed to be Madeleine at a parish feast in the central town of Zejtun on June 17. On examination, though, it proved not to be her.
A spokeswoman for Madeleine's parents, Gerry and Kate McCann, said they would not consider he alleged sightings in Malta until any are officially confirmed. She added: "There are lots of reports. If they got that emotionally involved with each one, they wouldn't be able to concentrate on the campaign."(Sky News)
