Cyprus sighting
Pedro Silva Sun Mar 03, 2013 5:41 pm
My friends, this was taken from Correio da Manhã newspaper:
http://www.cmjornal.xl.pt/detalhe/noticias/ultima-hora/maddie-podera-ter-sido-vista-no-chipre
British saw the child resembling missing British girl in Praia da Luz, Lagos
Maddie may have been seen in Cyprus
The Interpol was warned that a British citizen claims to have seen a girl resembling Madeleine McCann, the holiday resort of Ayia Napa, Southern Cyprus.
The alert was given by the Cypriot police: According to spokesman Andreas Angelides, a British citizen reported that he had "seen a girl resembling Madeleine as being one of three sons of a British couple" - cites 'The Telegraph'. The information has been passed to local authorities on February 20 and was immediately alerted Interpol. According to the same source, the British couple should no longer find themselves on Cypriot soil.
In 2007, Madeleine McCann was nearly four when she disappeared from the family rented flat in Praia da Luz, Lagos.

Thank you, Pedro.
Tony has a report from one of the Cyprus papers here:

This doesn't really seem to have come to anything, just another well-meaning mistake.
The 8rs are all screaming about it, doubtless furious because not everyone is as cruel-hearted and mean-spirited as they are.

yes bb1, you welcome.
this is good because it proves that people are looking for a living, findable Madeleine McCann, which is what really matters, because one of these sightings could be the one who returns her to her home.

Madeleine McCann: Cyprus police alert Interpol over 'sighting' of missing girl in Ayia Napa
3 Mar 2013 19:30
A Briton claimed to have "seen a girl who looked like Madeleine with a British couple as one of their three children"
A possible sighting of missing Madeleine McCann has been reported in the Cyprus holiday resort Ayia Napa.
Cyprus police alerted Interpol after a Briton claimed to have "seen a girl who looked like Madeleine with a British couple as one of their three children".
A spokesman said the information was passed to police on February 20 and it had been passed on to the European authorities.
A week earlier DNA tests confirmed a girl mistakenly identified in New Zealand as Madeleine was not her.
Officers in England had requested a DNA sample from the girl after there were reports that she could be Madeleine.
The "sighting" on New Year's Eve in Queenstown, on New Zealand's South Island, was the second time the girl was mistaken for Madeleine last year, the other being in March.
Madeleine was nearly four when she disappeared from her family's holiday apartment in Praia da Luz in Portugal's Algarve on May 3, 2007 as her parents dined at a tapas restaurant with friends nearby.
Kate and Gerry McCann, of Rothley, Leicestershire, have campaigned tirelessly for information on their daughter's whereabouts, battling for a review by the Metropolitan Police, which has now been under way for more than 18 months.

Madeleine McCann: Interpol alerted over possible sighting in Cyprus
Cyprus police have alerted Interpol over a possible sighting of Madeleine McCann in the holiday resort of Ayia Napa.
Police spokesman Andreas Angelides told the AFP news agency that a Briton informed police he had "seen a girl who looked like Madeleine with a British couple as one of their three children".
He said this information was given to police on February 20 and they passed it on to the European authorities.
"We asked Interpol to also look into the matter," Mr Angelides said, but added that the family in question had most probably left Cyprus.
A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police said: “We are not providing a running commentary on Operation Grange.
“As with any lines of enquiry that are brought to our attention, these will be assessed and dealt with accordingly.”
Earlier in February police received a complaint against the same family alleging they had left their rented flat stealing various items from it.
Madeleine was nearly four when she vanished from her Portuguese holiday apartment in Praia da Luz in 2007.
Since her disappearance officials have issued digital images of what Madeleine might look like today as her parents Gerry and Kate have never given up the search.
Her disappearance triggered a worldwide search but her whereabouts remain a mystery.
Last month, police in New Zealand confirmed that DNA from a girl bearing a striking resemblance to Madeleine did not match the missing girl's.
British authorities asked for the sample after the latest reported sighting of McCann in New Zealand, nearly six years after she went missing while holidaying with her family in Portugal at the age of three.
New Zealand police said they had been contacted twice by people convinced the child was McCann, first in March last year and again on New Year's Eve, when she was spotted in the southern resort town of Queenstown.
They investigated the first sighting and were "absolutely satisfied" it was not the missing girl but obtained a DNA sample after a request from Operation Grange, the British police task force investigating the disappearance.

Calls to DNA test 'Madeleine McCann' in Cyprus
A BRITISH girl who sparked an inquiry in Cyprus because she looks like Madeleine McCann should be DNA tested, police say.
Cypriot police chief Paris Paraskeva said it is unlikely the girl is Madeleine but the simple check should be done just in case.
Today the Sunday Express can disclose the mysterious circumstances which triggered the inquiry, now involving Scotland Yard detectives reviewing the Maddie files.
In October last year a British couple and three children, the Madeleine lookalike and two boys aged two and seven, rented an apartment in Ayia Napa, a place popular with British tourists on the south-eastern tip of Cyprus.
The family rented the property from a British man and appeared to settle in well, enrolling the girl in a junior school. All was well until February, when the couple suddenly decided to leave.
After they left the supervisor of the property noticed some items were missing, including a kettle, and told the owner, who made a complaint to local police.
They issued an arrest warrant for the couple and alerted airports and ports. The day before the arrest warrant was issued, February 7, it appears the family flew to Britain.
Then, quite separately, on February 20 a man who had been living next to the family in Ayia Napa read a magazine article about Madeleine, who was snatched from an apartment in the Algarve in Portugal in May 2007, aged three.
The Greek Cypriot man thought a picture with the article showing how Madeleine would look now looked remarkably like the girl who had been his neighbour.
He begged police to investigate, telling officers: “I think the girl living next door to me was Madeleine McCann.”
Inspector Paraskeva told the Sunday Express: “We took the report very seriously and then realised the address was the same as for the couple we were looking for. It was quite a coincidence.
“I asked my officers to do checks with schools to see if the girl was registered anywhere and we were lucky because she had been at a school in Ayia Napa. We got a photograph of the girl and her birth certificate which showed she was 12, several years older than Madeleine would be now.
“We knew the family had left the island, so we informed Interpol and I sent them the picture of the girl and her birth certificate.
“I had the name of the girl and an address where the family were staying in England and that has all been given to Interpol, so I assume that the police in England will have checked it out.
“They have not contacted me back, so I do not know what is happening.
“We also showed the picture of the girl to the Greek Cypriot man and he confirmed it was the child who had been living next door. When he compared the picture with the one in the magazine he was not so sure it was definitely Madeleine but we all felt it was still worth investigating.
“If the couple had been on the island and we had arrested them and then received this report, we would have asked the girl to provide a DNA sample for testing. We have the DNA profile of Madeleine so we could have done it quite quickly. I would think that Interpol or British police would do this when they speak to the family just to rule it out.”
Last week Scotland Yard said it would not give a “running commentary” on the lines of inquiry in the Operation Grange investigative review of all known evidence relating to Madeleine’s disappearance.
