Search ... Madeleine (right) next to an age progression image of what she might look like now, aged nine

COPS probing the disappearance of Madeleine McCann are reviewing calls to Crimestoppers from psychics, it was reported today.

Detectives are understood to be going back to listen to information initially dismissed because callers said they were psychics or had dreamt about the case.

Around 100 such calls were made to the crime-fighting hotline in the first few months after she vanished.

The information will be entered on databases for the first time.

Sky News crime correspondent Martin Brunt said: “It’s probably unlikely to be of value but it should be put into system and sometimes it will connect or corroborate information that’s already there.”

He was speaking on the fifth anniversary of Maddie’s disappearance aged three. She vanished from her family’s holiday apartment in Praia da Luz, Portugal, on May 3 2007.

Cops last week released an age progression image of what she might look like aged nine as the Metropolitan Police operation ordered by David Cameron continued to investigate the case.

Portuguese cops have so far refused to re-open it but parents Kate, 44 and 43-year-old Gerry are convinced it’s only a matter of time before they change their minds.
