French Police Rule Out Sighting of Missing Girl

Police investigating an alleged sighting last week of Madeleine McCann in southern France have determined it was not the missing British girl. Investigators had taken seriously a Dutch tourist's account that she believed she saw Madeleine at a roadside restaurant near the city of Montpellier on Feb. 15, according to a police official. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk publicly on the matter. Madeleine has been missing since May 3, 2007, when she disappeared during a family vacation in Praia da Luz, Portugal. She was a few days from her fourth birthday when she vanished.
