MONTPELLIER, France — Police investigating an alleged sighting last week of Madeleine McCann in southern France have determined it was not the missing British girl, a police official said Wednesday.
Investigators had taken seriously a Dutch tourist’s account that she believed she saw McCann at a roadside restaurant near Montpellier on Friday, a police official said. After viewing closed-circuit video footage, police investigators spotted a man and a young girl who resembled the missing British girl but determined it was not McCann after a thorough inspection, the official said.
McCann has been missing since May 3, when she disappeared during a family vacation in Portugal. She was a few days from her 4th birthday when she vanished.
