Praia
cia Luz: Portuguese detectives
hunting for missing Madeleine McCann are following up information from
psychics and clairvoyants.
Officers
believe that whoever abducted the4-year-old girl from an Algarve holiday
apartment 29 days ago may try to alert them to her whereabouts by claiming
to have seen her in a dream or vision.

The Policia
Judiciaria has two dossiers of apparent visions and psychic sightings
of Madeleine, placing her at locations across the world.
MADELEINE CASE
It is
not known if a vision was the source of the information that led to
Portuguese detectives asking British police to raid a home in London,
where they believed that Madeleine might have been. A series of raids
on homes in Britain have found no trace of Madeleine.
Hundreds
of reports from people claiming to know where the girl is are being
checked. Chief inspector Olegario Sousa said that each claim was being
taken seriously, as one could contain a message from the abductor. “That
is one of the reasons that we cannot discard anything,” he said.
The decision
to treat reports of visions seriously will fuel criticism of the investigation,
which has failed to collect enough evidence to arrest any suspects.
Leicestershire
police, which is coordinating the investigation in Britain, said that
a number of properties had been searched at the request of the Portuguese
authorities.
