Madeleine McCann possibly held by Muslim Moroccan slave traders

As incredible as it might sound, very recent photographic evidence is stirring interest in the case of missing Madeleine McCann not in Portugal, but in Morocco. The photo being examined also clearly shows something else of great interest to me: the women that are carrying the white, blond-haired girl are most certainly Muslim. Simply take into account the nation of Morocco (98% Muslim) and the head-coverings on the women and the odds that you are looking at Buddhists is quite slim.

I am going to go out on a limb here: I have long had an uncanny knack for identifying people beneath even Hollywood makeup or from afar, such as at sporting events, and in fact I have helped apprehend a fugitive when I identified him from a ten year old photograph. My very first reaction when I first saw this photograph is that this is indeed Madeleine McCann. I will stick to this tune until I am proven wrong. Experts have examined the photo snapped by a Spanish tourist. The photograph is now being analysed by experts at the British Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre.

Are we witnessing evidence on the world stage of the ‘slave trade‘ that has infamously gone on across parts of Eastern Europe and in the depths of Arab Muslim nations for centuries and continues to this very day? Now you more fully understand my keen interest. The trading in girls for sex enslavement is well-documented by Interpol and white girls of European descent are apparently in high demand. The origins of Interpol itself actually coincide with initial investigations into ‘white slavery’ back around the turn of the 20th century.

Details from the AP in London:

The parents of missing toddler Madeleine McCann remain cautious about a photo of a blonde girl snapped in Morocco, wary of an “emotional rollercoaster”, their spokesman said Wednesday.

The photo, the first such image to surface, shows a light-skinned, small girl being carried on the back of an elderly Moroccan woman, and was taken just over three weeks ago in northern Morocco by a Spanish tourist.

“Clearly, this is the first time we have an image like this. On an initial glance at it, it appears to look like Madeleine, about the right age and of European appearance,” said spokesman Clarence Mitchell.

But he added: “There have been numerous sightings, not just in Morocco but in other countries. As a result, I have to urge caution at this stage.”

Kate and Gerry McCann — both named by Portuguese police as formal suspects in their daughter’s disappearance — are waiting for authorities to analyze the photo, reportedly using face-recognition technology, before making any further comment, he said.

“Kate and Gerry know all too well, through bitter experience, that all of the sightings up to now have come to nothing, unfortunately.

“You can imagine the sort of emotional rollercoaster that causes them each time this sort of information comes in,” he told BBC television. “They simply do not wish to discuss it beyond their immediate circle.”

Clara Torres of the central Spanish city of Albacete said she took the photo on the morning of August 31 in the town of Zinat on the road between Chaouen to Tetuan while on a holiday in Morocco with her family.

“The similarity (to Madeleine) raises shivers,” she told Spanish radio station COPE.

Madeleine went missing from her family’s holiday apartment in the Portuguese resort town of Praia Da Luz on May 3, and her parents — 39-year-old medical doctors Kate and Gerry — have been spearheading a global campaign to find her.

Initially the case appeared to focus on an alleged abduction but then the McCanns were named as formal suspects earlier this month.

According to the family, Portuguese police suspect Kate McCann was involved in the accidental death of her daughter and think both parents then tried to cover it up. The McCanns strongly deny any role in Madeleine’s disappearance.

Torres said she decided to hand the photo to police on Monday after reading of other recent possible sightings of a girl fitting Madeleine’s description in Morocco since she vanished.

While there have been several reported sightings of Madeleine from Argentina to Belgium — which have all been discounted — this is the first time that a photograph that possibly depicts the girl has come to light.

UPDATE: A report just in on FOXNews literally seconds after I published this article now claims that police in Morocco have declared that the girl in the photograph is not Madeleine McCann. That was fast. Too fast. I remain highly skeptical. Regardless, the chances that Madeleine has ended up in some sort of child trafficking ring remain extremely high. I believe that Interpol and other investigators should use this opportunity to start to lift back “stones” and see what comes scurrying out of places like Morocco and Portugal.

I also believe someone outside of the Moroccan government should go investigate the child seen in that photograph.
