Madeleine "lookalike" sought by Swedish police
Swedish police are hunting for a girl photographed at a car show who looks like Madeleine McCann, says The Sun newspaper, which also has the photo.The newspaper reports that police received a number of calls from people at the car show in Sweden who thought they had seen Madeleine, and computer tests on the photograph show a strong resemblance to Madeleine.
"Her jawline is identical and her eyes are the same colour as Maddie's," says the newspaper, which also says face-mapping tests have been run on the photo. The newspaper doesn't say whether the police or the newspaper carried out the tests.
The photograph was taken by a photographer working at the car show, but he neglected to get the girl's name and police have so far been unable to find her. The photograph of the girl is not clear enough to show a close-up of the girl's eyes to see whether she bears Madeleine's dstinctive mark on the iris.
Kate and Gerry McCann have been reported as saying they think it bears a strong resemblance to how Madeleine would look now and would like it looked into, but the matter is currently being dealt with by Swedish police.
Police are also searching for a Swedish-registered boat they believe is connected to a woman seen in Barcelona a few days after Madeleine McCann disappeared. The boat captain reportedly told authorities he was sailing to Albufeira, in the Algarve, but no trace of the boat has been found since it was in Barcelona.
