Madeline sighting - 03/08/07 15:13
Madeline has been missing for more than two months and I continue to watch for headlines about her in hopes that they will find the poor girl and get her home. I do, however, find it compeltely mad that they release stories like the one below about people possible seeing her about. If I was kidnapper I'd dissappear if I realized we had been spotted with her. Is it just me, or should they wait for the results and then just do a wide release of the kidnappers pictures so that they can be nabbed right away rather than release a story when you still have a week to wait for DNA results!
Belgium checks possible sighting of Madeleine Reuters - Friday, August 3 11:58 am BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Belgian authorities are conducting DNA tests on a bottle and a straw after a possible sighting of missing four-year-old Madeleine McCann last weekend.
A woman called police in the eastern town of Tongeren near the Dutch border on Saturday after seeing a couple with a small girl at a roadside cafe.
"She has considerable dealings with children and she was convinced the girl was Madeleine," a prosecution spokeswoman said. "There is a bottle and straw that the girl probably drank from and we are testing them."
The couple were described as a Dutch-speaking man of about 40 and a English-speaking woman of around 25. Tongeren legal authorities have drawn up photo-fit pictures of the pair.
The results of the DNA test should be known next week.
Madeleine went missing on a family holiday to Portugal on May 3, since when there have been dozens of possible sightings.
