Possible Sighting of Missing British Girl Madeleine McCann
Authorities are investigating a possible sighting of a girl resembling four-year-old missing 
Madeleine McCann. The sighting of Madeleine McCann took place in a restaurant in the Dutch-speaking town of Tongeren, near the Dutch border east of Brussels. She was reportedly with a man and a woman who were acting suspiciously. Authorities will be doing DNA testing on a bottle taken from the restaurant.
DNA test results are expected next week on a bottle taken from a restaurant where a girl resembling four-year-old Madeleine was seen drinking, local prosecutor Katja Van Doren said.
A child psychologist reported seeing the girl with a man and woman in the restaurant in the Dutch-speaking town of Tongeren, near the Dutch border east of Brussels.
The three people drove away in a black Volvo with Belgian plates, local police said, stressing that the number plate could be false.
The couple were said to have been acting in a suspicious manner.
Belgian police have issued an identikit picture of the man involved, said to be in his 40s with black hair and stubble on his prominent chin.
He was said to speak with a Dutch accent, while the woman, who also had dark hair, spoke to him in English.

I am very sorry to say it but this Madeleine McCann story does not ring true to me. I suspect foul play, close to the holiday home. Though I do not know who might be implicated or what their motive might be, I have a bad feeling about it. Seems like there may be a lot of diversions going on making it hard to find the truth.
