    Maybe it was Victoria Beckham ?
    I've always thought one of her 'sons' looked a tad feminine.

    That's a terrible picture. If Victoria Beckham looked like that David would put her on the transfer list immediately.

    It is very far fetched but I suppose the mcCann's will take every "sighting" seriously. Itis there little girl after all

    Trolling for tabloid attention at this point (yes, Sky News is VERY tabloid, particularly on their website).

    I mean I feel VERY sorry for them having lost their child, but headlines like this are getting a bit silly. Their PR people must be running out of ideas.

    Next up: 'Elvis spotted with Maddy'

    Victoria Beckham's parents. :eek: I would never have suspected them.
    Have you passed this on to the police yet? It could be just the breakthrough they need.

    How do people actually believe that she's still alive?

    I mean, if you kidnapped somebody, and it made Sky News, and everyone in the Western world knows what they looked like, you'd hardly keep them alive and bring them around with you.... She was probably killed and buried as soon as the kidnappers saw how much attention it got.

    And I doubt Posh is happy about the comparison to that picture :D

    The picture looks as if they didn't want to decide between male or female - so went as finely between as possible. That way they wont actually have to narrow their search.

    All a ploy, I reckon they ate her.

    How many murders/kidnapping have you solved? There's a big difference between being negligent and a mudrerer. Anyone who thinks they can solve cases based on d'telly should watch A Cry in the Dark.

    Strange, I just got handed a maddie leaflet by some weird guy outside work. ''Still missing Still missed'' is the header on it with some pictures of her and some preyer on the back :confused:

    It's really tragic and I can't even imagine how her poor family must feel.

    That said, kids go missing often. It's equally tragic for other families, and yet they only get a small fraction of the publicity that this case gets.

    Thats her husband, don't get too mixed up :D
    Its become far too much of a tabloid story at this stage tbh. Does anyone actually believe shes alive ?
