SPANISH police are investigating a fresh sighting of missing British girl Madeleine McCann, nearly five years after she disappeared. THREE-YEAR-OLD BRITISH GIRL MADELEINE MCCANN DISAPPEARED FROM THE PORTUGUESE RESORT PRAIA DA LUZ IN 2007. THE DAILY TELEGRAPH A tip-off to Portuguese police earlier this month talked about a little girl with a "strong physical resemblance" to Madeleine in the resort town of Nerja, southern Spain, Diario Sur reported. The Specialist and Violent Crime Unit (UDEV) began investigating the possible sighting "as with all more or less reliable information that arrives on Madeleine," a source said. Since her disappearance in May 2007, there have been many possible sightings of Madeleine in different parts of Spain. Only a few months ago, another tip-off claimed the little girl was in nearby Axarquia. Madeleine was on vacation with her parents and twin younger siblings in Praia da Luz, on Portugal's Algarve coast, when she went missing. Her mom, Kate McCann, went to check on the children during the evening and discovered her bed empty. No trace of her was ever found, and Portuguese police closed the case in July 2008. The McCanns launched the Madeleine Foundation to keep the search for their missing girl alive. Sky News correspondent Martin Brunt said there were likely to be more "sightings" of Madeleine - who would now be eight years old - as the five-year anniversary of her disappearance approaches. He said, "Apparently, Spanish police involved in tracing missing people have three such potential sightings a month."
