'I saw Maddie'

Montpellier - A Dutch student believes she saw missing British toddler Madeleine McCann at a roadside restaurant in southern France last week, French police said on Wednesday.
A police source close to the investigation said the woman had no physical evidence to back up her claim, but security video footage from the restaurant near Sete was being examined for any sign of the missing girl.
"She seemed to be thin and her hair was short," the student, Melissa Firing, was quoted as saying in the Dutch newspaper De Gelderlander.
The girl vanished shortly before her fourth birthday from her bedroom in the McCanns' rented villa during a holiday in the Portuguese resort of Praia da Luz on May 4 last year.
Her parents have been named as formal suspects by Portuguese police, while another Briton, 35-year-old Robert Murat, was also placed under investigation in May.
To date no sign of Madeleine has been found and no charges brought against any suspect.
