Detectives study Madeleine report

PRIVATE detectives working for Madeleine McCann’s parents were yesterday studying a report that she was spotted at the same place and time as the partner of an official suspect in her disappearance.

A tourist reportedly saw a little girl fitting the blonde youngster’s description and Robert Murat’s girlfriend, Michaela Walczuch, in Morocco on June 15, 43 days after the four-year-old went missing. The child was being dragged across the street in the north-eastern town of Zaio by an Arab woman, said Isabel Gonzalez, 60.

She told reporters: “I have always been convinced the girl I saw in Morocco was Madeleine. Now I am equally sure the blonde woman I saw that day in the town was Murat’s girlfriend.”
