The Madeleine letter is written in Dutch.Dutch police are studying similarities between the new letter and the other which pointed to the bodies of Belgian girls Stacey Lemmens and Nathalie Mahy. The girls were murdered in June 2006 after they disappeared from a late-night fair in the town of Liege. On the day the letter was received, police found their bodies at the spot indicated on an enclosed map.
