LIST OF 14 VOLUMES OF ALLEGED ASSORTED SIGHTINGS http://www.mccannpjfiles.co.uk/PJ/ASSORTED_SIGHTINGS_1.htm

 
  • Researcher claimed Maddie was living in the Paraguayan city of Aregua

  • But he refused to give name of his firm or provide supporting documents

  • He 'only stayed (in country) a couple of days and didn’t speak with anyone'

  • Investigators have now dismissed his claims and questioned his credibility

A major search for Madeleine McCann in South America was initiated by bizarre claims in a local newspaper that she had been ‘spotted’ in Paraguay, it was revealed today.

Miraz Ullah Ali Isa, who claims to be a private eye from London, had said the missing girl from Leicestershire was living 'in the custody of a woman' in the southern city of Aregua.

And an advert by Mr Ali which appeared in Aregua this week is believed to have triggered a major search involving four local police stations, an anti-kidnapping division and Interpol.

Translated into English, it said: ‘My name is Miraz Ali, a private investigator from London. We have been informed that Madeleine McCann has been found living in Aregua, possibly with a woman.

‘She was kidnapped from her hotel on May 3 2007 aged three at the Praia da Luz complex in the Algarve, Portugal. Please look at the photo above.

 

She is now 12 years old and a photograph has been produced of how she would look when she was nine years old. We believe two men were involved and left the country using a boat.’

According to the Daily Mirror, the advert told how Madeleine had ‘suffered in an indescribable manner’ and said there is a €2million (£1.6million) reward for information leading to her safe return.

Madeleine’s parents, Kate and Gerry McCann, were informed of the reports and appealed for more details, but investigators have now debunked the alleged sighting and questioned Mr Isa’s credibility.

Over the weekend, Mr Isa told local newspaper ABC Color: 'My team and I received the information that Madeleine arrived in Paraguay a month or two ago.'

He claimed that Madeleine was 'in the custody of a woman' in Aregua, about 17 miles from the capital of Asunción, but refused to reveal the name of his firm and could not offer any documentation to support his claims.

The newspaper also discredited his investigation by noting that he 'only stayed (in the country) a couple of days and didn’t speak with anyone'. But the report is still understood to have sparked in investigation.

Commissioner Sanny Amarilla, a deputy chief involved in the search, said four police stations, intelligence personnel from the Interior Ministry and Interpol divisions were involved in the search.

Heartache: The young girl's parents, Kate and Gerry McCann, had been informed of the reported sighting

 

He said: 'We are investigating neighbourhoods where there are foreign citizens, villas, condos, to see if there is someone with a similar description that corresponds to the newspaper clipping.
 

'This news stretches across the globe, it is very important. So if they are in the area we need to find this girl and return her to her family.'

But the allegations have now been dismissed by inspector Luis Ignacio Arias of Interpol in Paraguay, who said that his office had 'nothing concrete' about Mr Isa's identity.

He told EFE that the researcher had never contacted the National Police or the Foreign Ministry with his reported sighting. Mr and Mrs McCann said they had never heard of Mr Isa.

Arias Paraguay’s National Police said it will investigate his story and identity.

The country’s vice minister of interior security, Jalil Rachid, told Radio Monumental that he also had no details on the missing girl in Aregua.
