While excavations have just been carried out in Portugal to try to find a trace of little Maddie McCann, who has been missing since May 3, 2007, a British couple claims to have made a discovery likely to upset the investigation.
The mysterious Maddie McCann case would she finally go to its resolution? It’s possible. While new excavations have just been carried out in Portugal to try to find the body of the little Englishwoman, who disappeared on May 3, 2007 in Praia da Luz, a British couple claims to have made a discovery likely to upset the investigation. Ralf and Ann, who were vacationing in the Algarve at the time of the girl’s disappearance, claim to have found a strange memorial to Madeleine as they strolled around the reservoir on which German police are now focusing their investigation.
At the time, the couple had photographed the strange monument, consisting of a photo of Maddie surrounded by stones and flowers, and sent the photos to the Portuguese authorities. However, they never got a response. Afterwards, Ralf and Ann hadn’t really thought about these photographs until the day they learned that the police were searching the area. “I immediately contacted the BKA in Germany and told them about what we had seen. They replied to me a few hours later, tells Ralf in the columns of DailyMail. They wanted to know everything we had seen and asked me to send them the photos and a map of the reservoir, asking me to tell them where the stones were. As the crow flies, it was barely half a mile from the picnic spot where they were digging last week.”
“When I think about it, it gives me chills”
Ann, Ralf’s wife, traveled to Wiesbaden to make a statement to the German police. “When I think about it, it gives me chills, because the last few bears the police were looking exactly where the rocks were pointing,” she confides in DailyMail.
For now, the body of little Maddie McCann remains untraceable. The Portuguese authorities announced that they had ended the excavations on Thursday May 25. Items seized on the spot were sent to Germany for analysis.
