Photofit Woman Update

The woman detectives are hunting in the search for Madeleine McCann asked a British tourist if he was about to deliver her 'new daughter'.

The woman, who had an Australian accent, spoke to a British businessman in Spain just three days after the youngster disappeared. She had been acting in an 'agitated' manner outside a bar in Barcelona and, when approached, asked the man: 'Are you here to deliver my new daughter?', a source close to the investigation said last night.

The tourist, who was chaperoning his brother on a stag party, was too shocked to reply and the woman repeated the question twice more. A second member of the party also spoke to the woman before she left. It is believed that the woman mistook the witness for a man she had arranged to meet. Investigators yesterday issued an urgent appeal for information about the woman, described as a 'glamorous and well turned out' Victoria Beckham lookalike. Dave Edgar, the retired detective hired by Kate and Gerry McCann to lead a private inquiry, said it was very possible the youngster was smuggled into Barcelona by yacht from the Portuguese resort of Praia da Luz where she disappeared in May 2007.
