http://www.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/europe/09/25/portugal.missing.girl.photo/index.html?eref=rss_topstories
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,298072,00.html
A couple more links to articles on the photograph. Nothing really new. The BBC also lists what is on the front page of many publications and lots of them are running the photograph all over the EU.
I can't tell if it is Madeleine or not but I do hope and pray that it is. The child in the photo looks larger/chubbier to me and also in the ones without the highlighting, the hair appears darker but still, there is a resemblance that should be checked.
Interpol would have or have access to that high definition software developed by Nasa for photo enhancement and should be able to tell much more than we can. And there is always the possibility that there is another child who just looks like her but perhaps they can actually locate the actual child and verify whether or not it is Madeleine. Someone should know these people if they are local as it would appear from the native clothing.
I think it is a man carrying her instead of a woman, however, just my opinion. And the child does appear to be being well cared for and healthy at least as far as I can see from a photo. The other child in the photo, the older girl does also bear some resemblance as well so proceeding with great caution in watching this develop. Only an actual visual sighting of this child would convince me that it was not mine in this case. I think I would have to see her for myself to ever be convinced it was not Madeleine just in case.

Why would Maddie be in Morocco? Is it a place to keep her until the furor dies down, and people assume she'd dead?
Why would she be outside in broad daylight where she can be seen?
Maybe pdh3. Four reported sightings is a lot. If it is her it means at least she was alive on August 31st. Maybe Morocco is a stop over point in the transportation of kidnapped children.

I would love it if the authorities could determine whether this is Madeleine or not. I realize there may have been four sightings, but it's not known if they were Madeleine or not. Sightings of girls people think might be Madeleine. I think there are a lot of wonderful, good hearted people that want to help and so when they see a blonde haired girl about the age of 4, they think may resemble her, it gets reported. I've read there have been thousands of tips, and the authorities are trying to weed through them, such as the one that thought Madeleine was seen in a restaurant and the girl and people left. The bottle the girl had been drinking from was DNA tested and it turned out not to be Madeleine
. Problem is, there are a lot of little girls around with light brown/blonde hair and at that age, from afar, they may appear alike. Unless someone could get close enough to see the little girls distinctive eye, it may be hard to pin down. Of course, sometimes children could be kept in plain sight. I can think of a couple of cases where that has happened. I just don't know. It would be hard trying to find a child that could be across a number of countries.

I just read on another forum that Sky News is reporting the girl in the photo is the daughter of a farmer and is not Madeleine.

Fox is covering the story now and stating that it is not Madeleine. What a pretty child this one is, too.
I hope the parents of this child have not been terrified by the sudden interest in their child and are not fearful that she is going to be taken from them as they appear to be good folk but perhaps lead a simple life and so may not know what all the media attention is about.

She is just precious, Anna.
I am disappointed that it wasn't Madeleine but I am so glad that the child's identity was established and we aren't left hanging. I also hope it hasn't caused damage to the Benaissa family.

I hope so too. They identified her very quickly. Thanks for the updates. I so wanted it to be Madeleine.

Quick note- measuring the width of eyes last night on the composite page along with the relation of the nose appears to be too narrow for Madeleine. The picture has the multiple morph progressions. But its good to see someone followed up very fast on actual verification.

Hopes that a blonde girl photographed in Morocco could be Madeleine McCann have been dashed after British journalists said they had tracked her down.

Question- why has Robert Murat not been cleared? This is the second round where he was allegedly going to be cleared and it still hasn't happened.
I'm not sure where he fits, but I do think it is interesting that the PLE is all over the McCanns and Murat has still in limbo.

Why would she be outside in broad daylight where she can be seen?
Morocco offers several advantages to a would-be kidnapper. First, it's not an EU member state, so there exists no rendition treaty governing the surrender of criminal suspects. There has also been no harmonization of laws with the EU, so issues pertaining to such things as, say, child custody might diverge widely from European standards. Second, the population isn't subject to the same level of bureaucratic and administrative interaction and documentation. Vital records pertaining to births, school enrollments, vaccinations, etc. are at best spotty. Social Security numbers, or their European equivalent are unknown. People can therefore much more easily "disappear" in Morocco than in Europe or North America. Third, like in much of the muslim world, there exists a strong tradition of non-cooperation with authorities among the public. People depend much more on bonds of kinship and locality than on the rule of law. If those holding Madeline are themselves Moroccan, they can probably rely on a local support network to shield them from discovery. Think about the tribal groups in Waziristan harboring Usamma bin Laden, and you'll get the idea. Last, Morocco is CLOSE. Madeline and her captors could have been in Tangiers less than six hours after she was abducted from the resort. Though only six hours away, it might as well be on the moon.

I know some will disagree,but under forum rules,I can give this idea.I watched Ed Smart and John Walsh state that they think McCanns have behaved correctly.They have kept Maddie's name in the public,not trying to let it go.This is not an attack,just some facts.
