"My name's Maddie. They took me from my holiday." Secret CCTV footage and documents from Amsterdam have been kept by foreign police. The newly-released documents include scores of e-mails from foreign police forces passing on reports that could provide investigators with a key lead but the Amsterdam sighting is one of the most intriguing.

Dutch shop worker Anna Stam, 41, said she spoke to a little girl aged three or four who said her name was 'Maddie' and replied to a question about her mother: 'They took me from my holiday.'

What do you think? Could Maddie be Madeline? It may be a real bad although un-likely coincidence, but if she isn't and her Maddies' 'mother' does'nt come to eliminate herself from the investigation after hearing such news, that'd prove she's Madeline McCann.

But do you think the media so reading word of this, might lead kid-nappers to harm Madeline just after a nose that could stress out any criminals? Or just allow people to be some how even more of a look out for 'Maddie'? Is the media attention causing more bad then good? If it is her, how is this person pulling this off?

  • This is an intriguing story, but I just cannot imagine the police would not investigate this story if it were true. It is not like they have no interest whatsoever in solving this case, which has been associated with a lot of public criticism regarding police action.

  • Officials need to investigate very thoroughly when a child suddenly appears out of no where and someone tries to claim a late birth certificate or something like that; registering a child without documents etc. Those children had to come from somewhere, people just don't go around having children and forgetting to get a birth certificate these days.

  • High-profile kidnapping cases like this usually have bizarre results. Remember Elizabeth Smart? She was snatched from her home near Salt Lake City, Utah and was missing for 2 or 3 years before she turned up living something like 15 miles from her home with her fundamentalist religious abductor. Sometimes the case needs to disappear from the headlines and public speculation for people working on it to make breakthroughs.

  • I think the girl in the footage looks a lot like madeline, the eyes are quite distinctive. This is a lot more compelling evidence than people are making out.

  • I have doubts about this potential lead. I remember, when this story first broke, the McCann's issued a request to the UK media to stop referring to Madeleine as 'Maddy' because she has never been known by that nickname. She always answered to 'Madeleine'.
