LISBON (AFP) - Portuguese police Wednesday said they will conduct searches in an area where the body of a four-year-old missing British girl is allegedly hidden, according to an anonymous letter sent to a Dutch newspaper.

The information "has certainly come to the team of investigators," police spokesman Olegario de Sousa told the Lusa news agency, adding that this would be followed up "like all other leads."

"If the contents of the letter are sufficient for us to identify the area, we will check it out, as is the case. We will not leave any leads," he told tha Antena 1 radio station from Portimao in southern Portugal.

The Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf said Wednesday it had received an anonymous letter giving details of where to find the body of Madeleine McCann, who vanished from the hotel room where she and her two-year-old twin siblings were sleeping in the southern resort town of Praia da Luz on May 3.

The daily said the letter was similar to one it received last year which had indicated with some accuracy the site where two missing Belgian girls' bodies were discovered at the end of June.

De Telegraaf did not publish the letter, which it handed to Amsterdam police who described it as "important," the paper said. The letter is due to be passed on to Portuguese investigators.


I hope this isn't true, but I had a horrible feeling that if that little girl wasnt found after two weeks, she was never gonna be found again or if found, dead.
My thoughts go out to the McCanns.
