Maid Kidnapped Madeleine?

A new clue? Police are now investigating a tip-off that Madeleine McCann was kidnapped by an ex-employee of the Mark Warner Ocean Club where the family were staying in Praia da Luz. The tip-off - which was sent to the Prince of Wales's website - claimed that the three-year-old was abducted by a former employee of the Mark Warner holiday complex in Portugal. According to the tip-off, it was a revenge abduction!

"There have been hundreds of Madeleine theories, sighting and tips sent in from members of the public. But this one is different. It's incredibly detailed and so far, from the inquiries being made in Portugal, it appears to be based on factual events. This could be very significant." - a police source told the News Of The World.

It is thought the maid is Portuguese and that she was sacked and left the complex on "bad terms".

The email, which is believed to have been prompted by the Prince's backing for Kate and Gerry McCann, was immediately reported to Scotland Yard who contacted Portuguese detectives working on the case. Link
