Little Madeleine - she could be anywhere

[Alysser]

My mom just said, and keeps saying since she's been missing that she thinks the poor girl was sold into white slavery. I've never heard of it but I guess in those countries they still have that stuff and it's always a possibilty.

I have yet to loose hope. Some children who have been missing for a long time(like years) have been found before. All you need is a miracle.

Oh boy.....this is all starting to get really depressing.
I just hope this little kid is found maybe sold to a family who has no kids, and theyv'e treated her right etc etc.
I'd hate to think she was sold into slavery.......but the sad facts are, she may have been.

DNA tested in Belgium not that of Madeleine

Wed Aug 8, 9:07 AM

BRUSSELS (AFP) - Belgian authorities said Wednesday that DNA taken from a bottle at a Belgian cafe, following a reported sighting of missing British toddler Madeleine McCann, was that of a man, but the investigation continues.

Last week a child psychologist reported to police that she had seen a girl closely resembling the British youngster, who disappeared in Portugal in May, in a cafe in Tongeren, eastern Belgium.

The girl in question was accompanied by a man speaking with a Dutch accent and a women speaking English, in the town near the Dutch border.

Police had taken the bottle and drinking straw for DNA testing believing that the blonde girl seen at the cafe table had drunk from it.

The DNA test results "don't mean that the presence of Maddie can be excluded," the Tongeren prosecutor's office said in a statement announcing the DNA test results.

"It is possible that the man seen with the girl finished the bottle," the statement read, "we continue to investigate all the tips we have received".

The recovered DNA did not correspond with any samples in either the Belgian or Dutch police record banks.

Investigations into the four-year-old's disappearance are now focusing on blood stains recently found in the family's holiday apartment bedroom in the resort of Praia da Luz, southern Portugal.

Madeleine's parents refused to be drawn on the reported discovery of blood stains in their holiday apartment Tuesday, but insisted they believe she is still alive.

Mystery of Madeleine parents' secret emails 'intercepted by police'
Friends hit back over whispering campaign against Maddy's parents

By FIONA BARTON - Last updated at 11:12am on 9th August 2007
The friends who were with Madeleine McCann's parents on the night she
disappeared have tried to shake off a growing whispering campaign against them.

They have spoken out after a Portuguese newspaper claimed police had
'intercepted' emails and phone calls between Kate and Gerry McCann and their
friends.
These, the newspaper reported, provided 'decisive proof' that Madeleine was
not kidnapped, but died in the family's holiday apartment in Portugal.
Diario de Noticias, a respected national daily, said 'police sources'
insisted the intercepted 'messages' were key evidence.
Other newspapers have already made a series of lurid and unsubstantiated
claims about the McCanns.
Yesterday, stung by such claims, their friend Rachael Oldfield, a 36-year-
old London recruitment consultant, suggested the police could be 'leaking'
confidential information to the Press.
"I think there are some leaks coming from the police, but a lot of what I
have read recently has been completely untrue," she said.
"Whether a journalist has had a bit of information and made the rest up, or
the police are feeding some truth or untruths I just don't know."
Another of the party, Dr Fiona Payne, said: "You cannot attach any
significance to what is being reported (in the Portuguese press)."
Mrs Oldfield, who is married to doctor Matthew Oldfield and has a
one-year-old daughter, said: "It is very hurtful and it is all rather ludicrous. But it
is difficult to defend because the investigationand everything in it is
confidential. We don't want to jeopardise the investigation in any way or
Madeleine's life. We are a bit stuck, really."
The Oldfields were at dinner with the McCanns and the rest of their party,
Jane Tanner and Russell O'Brien from Exeter, Fiona and David Payne from
Leicester and an unnamed woman, when Madeleine vanished from her bed in the holiday
apartments in Praia da Luz on May 3.
The adults told police they had taken it in turns to check on their sleeping
children, including Madeleine and her twoyearold twin brother and sister, in
nearby apartments.
In statements to the Policia Judiciaria investigators, which were leaked to
Sol magazine, Mr McCann said he first checked his three children at 9.05pm and
thought it 'strange' that the bedroom door was ajar. He checked the window
and shutters, which were both closed, and left.
Jane Tanner said she took her turn ten minutes later and saw a darkhaired man
carrying a child in his arms as she came back.
Minutes after her return, according to police statements, Matthew Oldfield
checked the children and noticed nothing unusual.
Mrs McCann went at 10pm and said she found the apartment window open, heavy
metal shutters raised and her daughter missing.
Police say there are discrepancies between the timings given by the McCann
party and staff and other diners in the restaurant that night.
One Portuguese newspaper yesterday, which quoted 'police sources', said: "If
everything happened as the English holidaymakers say, in terms of their
checking the children, it would be almost impossible for a kidnap to have taken
place."
Mrs Oldfield said: "There would only be a small window for somebody to do it
(abduct Madeleine), but presumably if somebody had been watching our
movements then it would have been possible."
The McCanns, who on Tuesday denied stories in the Portuguese press that
implied they had 'accidentally' killed their daughter, spent an hour with
detectives yesterday afternoon.
They learned that a possible sighting of Madeleine in a Belgian cafe had been
largely discounted after tests on a drinking straw used by the little girl
spotted showed the DNA of an adult male.

Poor, poor little Madeline- she must be scared out of her mind. I can only imagine what her parents are feeling right now, heartbroken, worried, scared, and so much more...
Prayers for little Maddie and her family... May the searchers stay strong, and never give up.
