KATE and Gerry McCann last night said they do not believe a young blonde
girl spotted in India is their missing daughter Madeleine.
An elderly British woman spotted a youngster who looked very similar to
her.
A French woman and a Belgian man who were with the girl insisted they
were her parents but police took their passports for checking. They were
later released.
The McCanns’ spokesman Clarence Mitchell said: “They have seen
photographic evidence and concluded that it was not her.”
He said Kate, 43, and Gerry, 42, were grateful for the public’s
vigilance.
The British woman, known only as Carol, was with a group in the northern
city of Leh when they saw the girl.

They stopped the couple who said they were her parents and called
police.
Madeleine was three when she vanished from an apartment in Portugal in
May 2007. She would now be eight. |
