New Files Like 'Gold Dust' in Search for Madeleine McCann

A newly released file on the highly-publicized disappearance of British girl Madeleine McCann is "gold dust" and could lead to a breakthrough in the case, her parents' spokesman told Sky News.

McCann spokesman Clarence Mitchell said the family is disturbed that information on possible sightings of Madeleine is only now emerging, after sitting in a box since 2008 when the case was closed by Portuguese police.

"The McCanns have been tearing their hair out for a long time, they're very frustrated this information has been sitting in a file since July 2008," Mitchell told Sky News.

The files reportedly contain hundreds of pages of information, including CCTV images of a young girl with an appearance similar to Madeleine being led into a New Zealand supermarket in 2007, according to Sky News.

Madeleine was three years old when she disappeared from her family's rented lodging in Portuguese resort town, Praia da Luz, on May 3, 2007. Her parents were eating dinner with friends nearby.

The new evidence became public after several newspapers applied to the state prosecutor in the Algarve, Sky News crime correspondent Martin Brunt said.

One report allegedly mentions a British man named "George" who spotted a young, seemingly distressed blonde girl being dragged along a road to Faro airport in Portugal on the night Madeleine went missing, Sky News reported.

Another report allegedly details how a young girl who looked like Madeleine was seen being held at gunpoint on a French motorway by a half-naked man in August 2008, according to Sky News.

"This information is gold dust to them. Kate and Gerry need all of it and they want a full review of all the information it contains," Mitchell told Sky News.

"Our investigators are working at times with one hand tied behind their back.

"Any leads must come through Portugal but they must come to Kate and Gerry," ~snipped~

Sounds like she's being transported throughout Europe by sex traffickers to me. And if she got on a flight at the Faro Airport it once again shows how airports can't track missing people and fugitives travelling through their space. Did they manage to make a passport for her?

Plat good question if she doing all this travel by Air ect. Who made the passport for the little girl? Wouldn't that have to done with someone that has information on the girl? And why would they keep this stuff and not air it to the public where others can help look for this little girl.. Something seems fishy about this case but I just can't come to terms with what it is yet.. I will think more and try to post my thoughts later.

Is there like some Pedophila ring operating partly out of Portugal but with connections to France and neighbouring countries (Spain, Netherlands, Italy, Germany, etc.) And is some high power connected to this ring and they don't want to release key details since poor little Maddie got thrown in this nightmare and she's a major story?

I think there is more to the case then we know about. I know it seems that the family has already went after the police department and a lot of other things. I would like to know where the parents was when the child came up missing. I know I read it but still WHY was they not with the child? Is this a cover up story for what really happen?

I know there is a U.S. Passport required for travel from the USA to another Country,
but not sure about International travel such as Country to Country.

Something for me to research, and post back here.
