Subject: Madeleine McCann
I have followed the case in the press as I live in the Algarve.
However my attention has been drawn by the news that an English
citizen (George Burke) who returned to the village in the
morning from Lagos and who says that he saw a couple with a
child at about 06.00. Would this person not be suspicious due to
being from the village and be returning 7 seven hours after the
events? Please excuse my boldness and if I am bringing false
accusations due to lack of information, I apologise again but
feel that I have to share my preoccupation. I hope this does not
make you lose time.
Good luck

External Inquiry Report
Date: 2007/12/04
Place: Lagos Marina, Lagos.
Responsible Officer: Inspector Joao Carlos
Description and Result of Inquiry:
On this date I went to the abovementioned place with the purpose
of gathering elements related to the previously mentioned
information about a supposed sighting of Madeleine McCann, by a
British individual named George Brooks in the early morning of
4th May 2007.
Once I arrived at the scene, I checked that there was
effectively a restaurant establishment on the first floor of the
complex, called Pizza Hut. This establishment was closed,
because of the opening hours. However, in order to collect
information, I went to another establishment called “Lite Bites”
which is next door and where there was an employee, who
identified herself as GS, of British nationality.
During our conversation, she said that she has worked there
since May of this year, the owner of the space being George
Brooks, identified by the enclosed photocopy of his passport,
which she provided.
She said that the whereabouts of the owner were unknown since
the 21st September 2007. On this date he collected....

INFORMATION

From: Ricardo Paiva, Inspector
Date: 2008/04/24
Re: Various Activities Regarding the
Investigation NUIPC 201/07.0GALGS
Regarding the content of the attached email
from British Authorities, with particular
focus with respect to the statement by
Michael Terrence Wright, in the
international letter of request which is
being implemented by the Leicestershire
Police, on the 6th of May, 2007, in Praia da
Luz, a pizza kitchen worker, of British
nationality and originally from Liverpool,
commented to that witness that her father,
George, had seen a man carrying a child, in
the early hours of May 4th of 2007. He does
not know if George contacted the authorities
about this. This testimony was recorded by
Inspector Joao Carlos and myself as follows:
--Yesterday, after heading toward Praia da
Luz late, we located the pizzeria shop
(PIZZA REAL) mentioned by that witness. It
is situated in a kiosk on Rua da Praia. Even
though it was closed at the time, we
obtained the telephone number ********* of
said pizzeria which is open from 18H00. This
same night, we contacted the manager,
C*******, using that telephone number and
she immediately identified the employee as
Amy. She told us that Amy was no longer in
Portugal and that she had returned to the
U.K. She was requested to contact Amy and
ask her to contact this police force.
--Today, at 11.37, the signatory received a
telephone call from *******, from a woman
who identified herself as J***, mother of
Amy, and who told me that as soon as
possible, George, her husband, and Amy's
father, would contact us. Around 17H16, we
were contacted by George, Amy's father, from
telephone no. *********. Regarding the facts
in question, he states that he had already
contacted the OH in May of 2007 and at this
time relayed to the police that at around
06H00 in the morning on the 4th May, 2007,
he saw a couple passing the Marina de Lagos.
The man was carrying the child. It was
ascertained at that time that the
aforementioned situation would not be of
interest to the investigation.
Signed,
Ricardo Paiva

From Michael Wright's statement:
As for
additional information I would like to add that on Sunday, 6 May
I went to the pizzaria in PdL and bought a large quantity of
pizzas. I was attended by a girl from Liverpool. I explained to
her my relationship to the McCanns and she told me that her
father 'George' had seen a man carrying a child in his arms in
the early morning of 4 May in the resort. I asked her if her
father would speak about this to the Portuguese authorities. I
don't know if the information was ever investigated. |
