Tycoon’s family ‘perplexed’ by McCann reports

THE widow and daughter of an Australian property tycoon have said that they were “perplexed” by reports linking their luxury yacht to the Madeleine McCann investigation.

The vessel, Willpower, was moored at Barcelona in Spain around the time when a woman with an Australian accent reportedly asked a British man if he was there to deliver her “new daughter”.

The McCanns’ private detectives last week launched an appeal for information about the mysterious woman, described as a Victoria Beckham lookalike.
