Maddie Sited In Morocco???

A Norwegian tourist has claimed she might have spotted Madeleine McCann in Morocco.Marie Olli, who lives in Spain and once lived in Leicestershire, says she saw a blonde girl who looked just like the four-year-old at a petrol station in the city of Marrakech nine days ago.The "sad" girl initially appeared to be standing on her own, but Olli claims an "anonymous-looking" man in his late 30s then came over and the girl asked him: "Can I see mummy soon?"News of this alleged sighting comes as it has been revealed a video appealing for the whereabouts of Madeleine will be shown at the FA Cup final at Wembley Stadium in London.The two-minute clip was earlier screened at the Uefa Cup final between Sevilla and Espanyol in Glasgow on Wednesday.Madeleine was abducted 16 days ago as she slept in her bed in her parents' holiday apartment in the seaside village of Praia da Luz, Portugal.Her parents have restated their belief that their daughter will be found.Family priest, Father Paul Seddon, who is in Portugal to support the McCanns, revealed that mum and dad, Gerry and Kate have never stopped believing that they will see four-year-old Madeleine again.He said the initial shock of the disappearance lead to a "feeling of helplessness and devastation", but they had overcome it."Gerry and Kate would not allow it - they knew it would have simply destroyed them as people and reduced the chance of finding Madeleine," Father Seddon added.Rewards amounting to £2.5 million have been offered to anyone with information which could lead to the safe return of the four-year-old.Meanwhile, it has emerged that there have been inconsistencies in a key witness's accounts of his relationship with the only suspect in the case.Computer expert Sergey Malinka, 22, is believed to have told police that he had not spoken to British suspect, Robert Murat for a year, but according to a newspaper, phone records indicate that he was called by Murat on the night Madeleine went missing.Portuguese police are continuing to examine telephone calls between the pair.
