Has Madeleine McCann Been Found?


This could be huge!

The parents of missing Madeleine McCann are awaiting the results of a DNA test after a young girl was spotted in India that tourists believe to be Maddie.

Kate and Gerry McCann's team of private investigators say they are working with police in the Indian city of Leh. Where British and American tourists alerted police that they had spotted a young girl who looked like Maddie, with a couple.


Detectives say Madeline would probably look like this now.
A British woman raised concerns with other tourists who agreed and one, an American man, tried to take the girl from the couple. But the people who allege to be the child's parents, the woman is French and the husband is Belgian, are saying that the girl is their daughter.

However, police in the city are taking the situation seriously and have taken swabs so that DNA tests can be carried out. A spokesman for Leh police said:
"It all depends upon the evidence like DNA for which help from Madeleine's parents and the British police was required."

Meanwhile a representative for Maddie's parents said:
"Our private investigators are aware of the reports from India over the weekend about a possible sighting of Madeleine. We are liaising with the Indian authorities over the incident and await the results of the DNA test."
Madeleine was days short of her fourth birthday when she went missing on a family holiday in Praia da Luz, Portugal, in May 2007.

The official Portuguese inquiry into Madeleine's disappearance was formally shelved in July 2008, although private detectives employed by the McCanns have continued the search.

I hope they don't get their hopes up too much, and if this isn't Maddie I feel terrible for the parents who have had to go through this DNA test with their daughter.
