In addition to the earlier transmitted sightings in Morocco, we have the attached two reports of a sighting on a Ferry from Spain to Morocco. (One is anonymous CrimeStoppers, so they may be the same source). can we ask for Spanish enquiries with the caller in Malaga and at the Ferry Company and port at Tafifa and can we ask the Moroccans to complete an enquiry at their end. Can we clarify which way the Ferry travelled, the two reports differ ? As always, can any CCTV be preserved pending further requests.

Thanks,

Subject: Madeleine McCann

Information was received from Gibraltar police (criminal investigation department) according to which a local male individual communicated to them that when on holiday in Tangiers, Morocco, he saw a girl who looked like Madeleine McCann.

This person stated that on 8th or 9th August 2007 at about 17.00 when he was in the old part of Medina, near to the Continental Hotel that he saw a man carrying a girl who looked like Madeleine to the door. He tried to look at the girl's eyes but didn't manage. The girl seemed unhappy, ill-tempered and did not speak.

He described the man as being about 1.75 ? 1.80 cm in height, corpulent, aged 38 ? 45 with short fair hair, European type fair skin but he did not appear to be a tourist.

This individual spoke English and tried to buy shoes for the girl who corresponded to Madeleine's description. He says he does not remember the name of the shop which was in one of the labyrinths in Medina.
