Almost 100 missing Maddie tips in Austria

Police in Austria registered almost 100 tip offs by people in the case of Madeleine McCann who went missing at a Portuguese holiday resort in 2007.

Alexander Marakovits, a spokesman for the Federal Crime Office (BK), said today (Tues) almost 100 people got in touch with authorities claiming to have evidence. He stressed investigators checked all tips but none of them led them anywhere.

Marakovits said one of the people who got in touch were a Norwegian couple who claimed they saw the girl at a motorway rest stop in St. Valentin, Lower Austria, in summer 2008.

He explained the couple told cops the girl screamed "Help me!" in English.

Marakovits said other witnesses were interviewed over the couple’s claim and guest lists at the rest stop’s hotel where checked but with no result.

USA I cannot understand how so many people claim to have seen Maddie, even claim to hear her say help and not be aggressive about it! You see a child asking for help why would you rely on any police department to do an "investigation"?? You see a child asking for help you grab her make a scenario to get attention for everyone around you until police actually gets there and verifies the situation infront of everyone!!! What is wrong with people????? You see a possible missing child, the moment you leave her the child will be gone! what good will it do to report it after the child is gone??
