Todella omituista. Ensin poistivat tuon ja laittoivatkin sitten hieman samanlaisen tilalle. Äärimmäisen epäilyttävää. Epäilen tältä pohjalta, että vanhemmat ovat syyllisiä!anayin kirjoitti:http://cuttingthroughtherubbish.blogspo ... -with.html

Police hunting for Madeleine McCann are investigating a new sighting of a child spotted with the girlfriend of official suspect Robert Murat.
A new witness has told detectives they saw Madeleine in Portugal two days after her disappearance, with a man and a woman.
The witness is believed to have identified the woman as Mr Murat's German-born girlfriend Michaela Walczuch.

Kate and Gerry McCann's private detective agency were contacted about the May 5 sighting and the witness told them the pair were behaving suspiciously.
The witness - whose identity has been kept secret - said they saw the woman in a van with a child who looked like Madeleine. A man was standing nearby and the witness said the pair appeared to be trying to hide the child from view.
It happened at an undisclosed location in central Portugal, said to be about 100 miles from the resort of Praia da Luz where Madeleine vanished on May 3.
Detectives at the Spanish agency Metodo 3 are taking the sighting seriously and have passed the information on to Portuguese police.
They are linking it to a sighting made by the McCanns' friend Jane Tanner, who saw a man carrying a child away from the couple's apartment. He is said to match the new witness's description of the man standing by the van.
Detectives said the new sighting supported their belief that Madeleine is still alive, and the McCanns were said to be "extremely encouraged".
Head of Metodo 3 Francisco Marco told the BBC: "We are 100 per cent sure that she is alive. We are sure she was abducted. We are very, very close to finding the kidnapper."
Some details of the new sighting are to be revealed in a Panorama documentary to be screened tomorrow, on the 200th day since Madeleine disappeared.
The new witness said neither the man nor the woman looked Portuguese and they are believed to have identified Ms Walczuch, 34, from photographs.
The German-born mother-of-one was interviewed by police after Mr Murat, 33, was named as an official suspect in the case in May but she was never made an arguida.
Her estranged husband Luis Antonio was also questioned. The pair still live together in Lagos, about five miles away from Praia da Luz, but Ms Walczuch has been in a relationship with Mr Murat for almost two years since they worked together in an estate agent in Lagos.
They later set up their own property business under the name Romigen. Neighbours have said Mr Murat was a regular guest at the flat Ms Walczuch and Mr Antonio share with their eight-year-old daughter.
British ex-pat Mr Murat remains an official suspect in the case but has always denied any involvement.
Madeleine McCann has been missing since May 3rd
Ms Walczuch was unavailable for comment today. Her flat in Lagos was empty and she failed to answer phone calls. There were no signs the flat was being kept under police surveillance.
Mr Marco said he believed Madeleine was abducted in a carefully planned operation but insisted detectives were close to discovering what happened to her.
He has refused to say where he believes she has been taken, although the McCanns have spoken of their belief that she was transported to Morocco.
McCann spokesman Clarence Mitchell said: "Naturally we are extremely encouraged by any indication by our investigators that things are going well.
"But there have been a number of leads that have come to nothing and Kate and Gerry remain cautious."
The McCanns hired Metodo 3 two months ago after they were named as official suspects in the investigation, amid frustration that Portuguese police were not investigating other leads.
In video footage to be shown in tomorrow's documentary, Mr McCann spoke of his fears that an abductor watched the family for days before Madeleine was snatched and struck while the couple ate nearby.
"We were looking at the back of the apartment and maybe the weak spots were at the front. It's a corner flat with trees overlooking it."
He added: "I've no doubt that Madeleine was targeted and that makes us sick to the core to think that someone was watching us and our daughter.
In the intimate video diary, filmed by a family friend in August, Mr McCann relived how he went to check on his children.
"I've got absolutely no doubt that they watched me go in and come back out and then they've thought, 'That's the window of opportunity to get in and get back out'."
The McCanns have always insisted Madeleine was abducted.
The head of the Portuguese police, Alipio Ribeiro, said in a newspaper interview this weekend that he still did not know if there would be any arrests in the case.
But a source told the Portuguese newspaper 24 Horas that detectives now believed they had abandoned the abduction theory too quickly in favour of investigating the McCanns.
The source said: "The initial suspicions pointed towards the little girl having been abducted by a sexual predator.
"We don't know exactly why that line of investigation was totally abandoned without there being concrete data which could incriminate the McCann couple."
• Panorama: The Mystery of Madeleine McCann, will be screened on BBC 1 tomorrow at 9pm.
